The Great Medical Saint

Gunnar held onto the pink leash and slowly pulled Marilyn closer. "Don't worry about him. I'm going to show you something fun today."

Kneeling in front of Gunnar, Marily stuck out her butt and slowly raised her chin. With her mouth open, she stared at him with a smoldering gaze. "Gunnar, please. Give it to me."

The phone started ringing again.

Gunnar furrowed his brows. "Pick up the phone."

Marilyn parted her lips and panted heavily. "Ignore him for now. Let's have some fun. I'll send a quick text later saying I was busy. Hurry up."

But the phone kept ringing.

Gunnar remarked in annoyance, "This is totally ruining the moment."

Marilyn huffed as she stood up. "What a mood killer. Can't he call at another time? Seriously, he must have nothing better to do."

After getting up, she walked over to the phone. Her heels clicked loudly on the floor, each step dripping with frustration.

As Marilyn came to her phone, she picked up the call and snapped, "What now? I'm really busy with work, so don't call me unless it's important."

Tony was already upset, and Marilyn's attitude only made it worse. "Is your work more important than Jay, Marilyn?"

Marilyn was surprised to hear Tony's voice. "Y-You're better now, Uncle Tony?"

Ignoring Marilyn's question, Tony asked again, "I just want to know-what's more important? Your job or Jay?"

Irritated, Marilyn responded, "How am I supposed to get by if I don't work?"

Jay was gone, and yet Marilyn still said work came first.

Tony's face flushed with anger. "Jay is dead. Are you coming back to take care of his remains?"

Marilyn was taken aback and shook her head. "I spoke to Dad just a month ago, and he was doing fine. Stop trying to trick me. I'm swamped with work. I can't make it back."

Tony erupted in fury right then and there. "Would I actually lie about Jay's death, Marilyn? Jay raised you, and now, he's gone. Are you seriously not coming back to handle his body? Do you even have a heart?"

Marilyn sensed something was wrong and fell silent. After a long pause, she said, "Dad has lived a long life. If he's gone, it would be a peaceful passing. Calm down."

Did Marilyn ask Tony to calm down?

Tony trembled, his lips quivering. He made a raspy noise from his throat as he tried to speak but couldn't.

Jay gave up so much, barely eating or spending on himself to raise Marilyn. After he passed away, she wasn't grieving and even told Tony not to get too worked up. If they weren't on the phone, Tony would have gone to Marilyn and slapped her twice.

Tony realized Marilyn was far away and his words meant nothing, so he had only one plan in mind. "Come back immediately and take care of Jay's funeral, Marilyn."

Holding the phone in one hand, Marilyn fiddled with the pink ribbon draped across her chest. "I'm the daughter. Even if I go back, there's nothing much I can do. Dad has two sons, right? You should call them instead."

Tony furiously yelled, "Do you understand what you're saying, Marilyn? Jay is dead. Don't you hear me? Your father is gone. Are you sure you're not coming back?"

With her ears hurting from Tony's shouting, Marilyn held the phone inches away from her ear.

She knew she had no choice but to go back. "Fine. I got it. I'll head back right now. I'll get a flight ticket right away."

After saying that, Marilyn hung up right away.

Gunnar knitted his brows together. "Do you have to go back?"

Marilyn sighed. "I really have to go back. That's just how things are over there. It's complicated."

Gunnar inched closer to Marilyn, placing his hand on her neck and gently sliding it down. "Before you leave, I'll make sure you have a little fun."

Marilyn glanced at the time. "Time is short. Let's make it quick."

Gunnar's hand continued to trace its way down. "I'll be quick, but I'm coming with you. Jay never wanted to give up Vital Restorative Remedies. Now that he's gone, it's time to take it."noveldrama

Marilyn frowned. "Why are you so obsessed with Vital Restorative Remedies? What's so special about that book? I can't help but think you married me for Vital Restorative Remedies. Do you truly love me?"

Gunnar knowingly smirked. "Aren't I showing you my love right now? After making love, let's go grab Vital Restorative Remedies together."
