Adrien walked in before stopping seeing Mari. Mari looked at him before starting to walk pass him, but Adrien stops her. "Mari wait you don't have to run away from me."
"I only came to see Ruby now I need to go, I have work to do." Mari replied.
"Mari why don't you want my pension?" Adrien asked curiously.
"I don't need it; I can earn it myself." Mari answered.
"It's a right the law gives you; it has nothing to do with me." Adrien replied. "What do you plan to do go back to the streets?"
"That's where I come from don't I?" Mari asked sarcastically.
"That means I'll get a call to take you out of jail again." Adrien asked just as sarcastic.
"Don't worry I won't bother you again." Mari tries to walk pass him again, but Adrien stops her once more.
"Where are you going that you are getting all dressed up for?" Isabella asked seeing Lila getting ready to go out.
"To Adrien's house." Lila replied finishing her make up.
"You think he will be there at this time?" Isabella asked curiously.
"I'm going to see Audrey not Adrien." Lila stated.
" Be careful with her." Isabella replied. "Don't let her discover your betrayal on siding with Adrien. Audrey is extremely dangerous for us. I'm afraid that feeling so confident you make a mistake and let her know you have a plan with Adrien. You are stubborn Lila. You had luck so far, but your luck can change."
Lila stands up. "You don't have to worry everything will be fine."
"Just be careful in case our cover is discovered here." Isabella replied.
Maya walked down the stairs, and to the living room where Natalie was. "Natalie where's Teddy I can't find him."
"Fu came and took him back to Mari, and she left you a message that she was sorry and that she will never forget about you. I meant to tell you sooner, but I didn't get the change too." Natalie replied.
Maya was sad first Mari left than her mom and now Teddy. She went to the front yard to play and to wait for her dad, she didn't care what her mom said she loved her dad, and he loved her and right now she needed him.
"Mari we are acting like kids let's talk like adults. I want you to have your pension you need it plus every woman who gets a divorce gets it." Adrien stated.
"Those that were married for a long time not one night." Mari replied.
"Yes one night that is worth a whole lifetime." Adrien added.
Mari shook her head. "Maybe for you but what I want to do is forget about it."
"Are you sure?" Adrien asked.
"Let me leave." Was all Mari said.
At that moment, the door opened and Sabine walked in. "Pardon me." She said seeing the two. "I promised Ruby I would be with her when she would be operated, and that's why I'm here."
"Eh in a moment, she will be taken to the operation room Sabine." Adrien said awkwardly.
Mari looked at Sabine for a moment before leaving the room without saying a word. Sabine watched as she left before turning back to Adrien. "Will Ruby be the same as before?"
"Let's hope so though it will be a long process." Adrien replied.
"Adrien your separation with Mari isn't set to stone?" Sabine asked.
Maya was sitting on the edge of a fountain when Lila arrived in her car. "Hi Maya." Lila said as she got out from her car. Maya didn't respond Lila was the last person she wanted to see. Lila saw the sadness in her eyes. "Aw what a serious and sad look." Lila got a huge pink teddy bear from her car. "Look he was at a store all alone, and he told me 'Lila take me to Maya, I want to be with her' do you like it?" Maya shrugged. "Tell me why are you upset?"
"Mari took Teddy without me knowing, and now I have no one to play with." Maya replied.
"Mari left the dog here?" Lila asked.
"Yes and she just took him all her stuff is still in her room." Maya stated,
"That's because Mari is bad she took him to upset you." Lila said with a fake sad smile.
"No he was her dog, he belongs with her, though I do miss him and her." Maya replied, and Lila was furious but hid it.
Adrien nodded. "Yes it is."
"It didn't seem like it when I came in." Sabine replied.
"Mari came to see my sister, and we bumped into each other by chance." Adrien stated.
"I meant by the attitude of the two." Sabine replied. "You still love her don't you?"
Adrien sighs. "Yes Sabine...I'm going to talk with the plastic surgeon excuse me." Adrien leaves the room."
'How can Lila still have hope with Adrien when he still loves Mari.' Sabine thought.
"I had no idea that Mari's room was ready to welcome her back." Lila said as she and Audrey were in Mari's old room putting her stuff on the bed. "All her stuff is here even the picture from the newspaper that she stole from me."
"I never came here again." Audrey replied.
"How strange she didn't take all her stuff. She only took the dog." Lila replied back.
"I'll tell Natalie to take everything out and throw it out." Audrey stated.
Lila nodded. "Yes because this is all just an excuse for her to come back."
Ruby was taken to the operation room, and Sabine looked at Elena, who was in the room. "Will the operation take long?"
"From what I know it's a complex operation." Elena replied.
Sabine nodded. "Let's hope everything goes well."
Mari was walking to Fu's room with a cup of water for him when she bumps into Edward. "Hi Mari are you here to accompany Ruby?"
Mari shakes her head. "No Fu is ill and I'm here with him."
"Where is he?" Edward asked.
"In room 507." Mari replied before walking away.
Edward walked to Ruby's room and saw Adrien and Sabine in there. "Good afternoon."
"Hi." Sabine replied.
"Hi Edward." Adrien replied.
"I just saw Mari." Edward stated.
"I thought she already left the hospital." Adrien said confused.
"No Fu is here in the hospital to, she just told me." Edward replied.
"Do you know what room Fu is in?" Sabine asked.
"In room 507 Mrs." Edward replied.
"I'll see if they need something excuse me." Sabine said before leaving the room.
Meanwhile in Fu's room, Mari helped him drink the water as father Carlos stood beside her. "How is Dr. Agreste little sister doing?"
"I don't know she must be in the operation room right now." Mari replied.
"I'll go check." Father Carlos said before leaving the room.
Without a second glance Father Carlos and Sabine walked pass each other in the hallway.
Sabine walked into Fu's room. "I just found out you were here Fu. How do you feel?"
"Better." Fu replied.
"And you Mari how are you?" Sabine asked but Mari just looks at her.
Father Carlos walked into Ruby's room and saw Edward and Adrien. "Your sister isn't here yet doctor?"
"She's still in surgery." Adrien replied. "Edward told me that Fu is in the hospital is he okay?"
"Better now." Father Carlos replied. "...I know about the divorce."
"Do you also know that Mari refuses to get a pension?" Adrien asked.
Father Carlos shook his head. "No but it was expected."
"Mari doesn't accept anything by me father. She'll need it more now that she has Fu in the hospital." Adrien replied.
"Don't worry Adrien Mari has good people surrounding her willing to help." Father Carlos replied.
"Mari the Mrs. is greeting you." Fu stated.
Mari sighs. "Hi Mrs."
"I'm here if you guys need anything." Sabine replied with a smile.
"You don't need to worry Mrs. we have everything, and we don't need anything." Mari replied.
Nino and Alya walked in. "Hello Mrs." Nino said with a smile.
"Hello young man...well I hope you get better Fu. Bye Mari." Sabine stated Mari nodded as she left the room.
"What was she doing here?" Nino asked curiously.
"I don't know I think she came to see Ruby since she is in surgery right now and when she learned about Fu, she came to see him." Mari replied. "She was the only one who treated me well in her house that's why it hurted me when she believed Lila and her aunt. It would be nice if she actually cared and acted as if I was her daughter."
"Father I'm going to check how the operation is going than I'll visit Fu." Adrien replied.
Father Carlos nodded. "I'll go with you."
Adrien nodded, and the two left the room. Sabine saw the two walk away as she returned to Ruby's room but didn't say anything since they didn't see her. She walked into the room and saw Edward still there. "I saw Adrien leave here with a priest?"
Edward nodded. "Yes they are friends. Could you see Fu?"
Sabine nodded. "I also saw Mari. I offered my help, but she rejected me."
"Mari wants nothing to do with Adrien not even the pension she has a right to have." Edward replied.
"Why did they break up?" Sabine asked curiously.
"Sorry but it's not my place to say." Edward replied.
Sabine nodded. "Your right. You know Edward if what happened didn't happen I would be able to care for Mari as if she was my daughter."
When Fu fell asleep Mari left the room for fresh air and found herself face to face with Adrien. She tries to walk pass, but Adrien stops her. "Wait. Why didn't you tell me Fu was here ill?"
"Why would I need to if he is nothing yours." Mari replied crossing her arms.
"Mari listen now that Fu is sick you need that pension more than ever." Adrien stated.
"No I can handle it by myself." Mari said sternly. "When will you understand that you are out from my life? You are so-"
Mari falls forward as she faints and Adrien catches her. "Mari! Mari!"
Mari starts to wake up. "What happened?"
"You fainted." Adrien looks at her. "Your pale." He feels her pulse. "Your pulse is normal though."
"What's going on here?" Lila asked walking up to them, arm crossed since it looked like they were in a romantic hug. "What is she doing here?"
"Fu is here ill. I came to see him and found Mari before she fainted." Adrien replied. "Let's go to the room Mari." Adrien said looking at her before helping her inside the room.
"She's even fortunate to faint." Lila said with a growl.
Inside the room, Adrien sits Mari in a chair. "Mari it will be wise for you to be checked. If you want to go to Edward's clinic it's right next to mine." Mari doesn't response she just looks at him. "You know that you can count on me for anything don't hesitate to call me."
Not even a minute later Lila walks in the room. "Adrien Ruby's surgery is over, she was taken to her room."
Adrien looks at Mari. "How do you feel?"
"Adrien Ruby will wake up and will want to see you." Lila added. Adrien sighs and follows Lila out.
Ruby woke up and saw Adrien next to her. "How did it go?"
"Good the surgeon achieved his goal." Adrien replied with a smile. "But try not to speak until the doctor tells you."
Mathew and Elena went in the room, and Mathew went beside her. "Ruby."
"She isn't allowed to speak too much so don't force her too much." Adrien said with a smile before leaving the two alone as did the rest.
Mathew smiled and took her hand. "You don't need to speak just close your eyes and rest, I'll be here and take care of you."
"I'm glad that everything went well Adrien." Sabine said happily, and Adrien nodded. "I have to go but I promised Ruby that I would take care of her and stay the ni-"
"No don't worry mom you don't have to care for her Mathew Elena, and Adrien are here to do so." Lila replied.
Adrien nodded. "Yes don't worry Sabine Ruby is fine, plus I'll stay the night with her."
Elena smiles. "You can leave calmly Sabine I'm here too with my son."
Sabine nodded. "Alright are you coming Lila?"
Lila shakes her head. "No I'll stay with Adrien."
Sabine nodded and left the room. She decides to go say good-bye to Mari and Fu. She knocks on the door and after hearing a 'come in' she walks inside and sees Fu asleep as Mari was sitting besides his bed. "I came to say good-bye to you Mari, and I hope Fu gets better...and sincerely Mari if you need anything to let me know."
"Funny I'm pushed aside than I am offered help, and I'm not just saying about you." Mari replied
Sabine sighs. "Mari I don't know who is right about what happened but what I do know is that I wanted you to stay by my side because I was willing to care for you forever as if you were my real daughter. Goodnight." With that she leaves.
The next morning Mari was in the house getting some tea orders ready when Roland walked in. "What are you doing here so early? What are you doing here at all?" She asked looking up at him.
Roland looks at what she was doing and smirks. "This is where your adventure with the crazy cue doctor ended?"
"Yes rather here than with what you offered me." Mari replied
"And Fu?" Roland asked.
"Still in the hospital until the doctor says so." Mari stated.
"Well don't forget what I offered you. When you make up your mind come find me." He put a business card on the table before leaving.
Adrien was walking down a hallway of the hospital when Edward walked up to him. "Hay Adrien are you barely leaving?"
Adrien nodded. "I stayed the night keeping an eye on Ruby."
"How is she?" Edward asked.
"She slept constantly, which is a good symptom." Adrien replied.
Edward nodded. "And have you seen Mari?"
Adrien shakes his head. "No I haven't seen her."
"I'm coming from Fu's room, and he says that she is at home doing and delivering some tea orders." Edward replied.
"What is Mari thinking doing that?" Adrien asked fed up.
"Let her work it doesn't kill." Edward said confused at Adrien's reaction.
Adrien sighs. "She fainted last night most likely stress from everything she has been through lately, and I worry that she'll get sick."
Nino knocked on Mari's door but there was no answer. "Does Marinette N live here?" A mailman asked as he walked over to the door.
"Yes." Nino replied. "But she isn't here."
"Can you give this to her?" The mailman asked handing him a letter. Nino nodded taking the letter and showing him his ID before signing the release form.
Adrien was heading to his room when Natalie walked over to him. "Sir this letter was brought for you, please sign the release form."
Adrien reads the paper. "An appointment?" He signs than hands it to Natalie before opening the letter. His heart stops as he reads it.
Mari goes in Fu's room. "How are you doing Fu?"
"Bored actually." Fu replied with a chuckle. "You seem out of breath."
"Well I finished the tea orders and delivered them so yea I am." Mari replied before thinking for a moment. "But you know Fu I have a feeling our economy issue might change."
Audrey was in her room looking through her phone when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
Adrien storms into the room furiously holding the letter in his fist. "What's the meaning of this Audrey?!"
After visiting Fu and Ruby Mari went back home and saw Nino standing by the door. "Hay."
"Hay this was brought for you." He shows her the letter. "Want me to open it?" Mari nodded since she couldn't read. Nino opened it and read it. "You are ordered to declare at a trail..."
