Father Carlos came to visit her and they started talking the main topic being Dr. Felix Noir. "And well Dr. Noir has been very nice to me. Sometimes I feel like he cares about me like if I was his friend or part of his family. The thing is that his voice is very similar to Adrien's voice."
"Who knows why that is dear." Father Carlos stated knowing the truth. "God sometimes acts in unusual ways. I have news that I know well make you happy. I think that Nino and Alya are finally going to adopt a baby."
Mari smiled brightly. "Really?"
"Yes Marinette Nino told me himself." Father Carlos replied.
Nino went to the orphanage to adopt a child to surprise Alya and he picked the new child that arrived the day before not knowing that the boy was actually Edward Jr. Edward's and Roxie's son.
"With the new treatment you'll be monitized at all times." Jake told Mari.
"And there's no news of Dr. Noir yet?" Mari asked.
"Don't worry he should be arriving soon." Jake replied. "He had some things to do first."
At that moment Marc and Ruby went to visit Mari and Jake left the room. "I'm glad that you came Ruby I have a question for you."
"Sure ask me anything." Ruby stated. "You can ask me as many questions as you want."
"Tell me Ruby did your brother Adrien come back to Paris?" Mari asked. "Or did you hear anything of him?"
"No Mari I haven't heard anything from Adrien." Ruby replied. "And he hasn't come back to Paris. Though I think that it's a good time for you and Adrien to clear all of your misunderstandings."
"No the thing is that I don't want to be near Adrien or know anything about him... Plus the new doctor that operated me is very nice." Mari stated.
"Could it be that you don't want anything to do with Adrien because you like Dr. Noir?" Marc said playfully. Mari looked away blushing. "Aha got you. You uncovered the truth yourself."
"Be quiet Marc." Mari said while still blushing.
"I think that you like him." Marc continued since he knew that Adrien and Felix Noir was the same person.
At that moment Adrien walked in. "How's my favorite patient doing?"
Mari blushed even more. "Dr. Noir since when where you here... How much did you hear?"
"I heard that you like a man." Adrien stated.
Mari's blush got worst. "It's - It's not what you think Dr. Noir."
Ruby and Marc held in their laughter. "Than what should I think about the situation?" Adrien asked with a smile. "Who's the man that your cousin was talking about? Who's the man that you like?"
"I don't like any man." Mari replied.
"Well Marc I think that we should go so the doctor can attend to Mari." Ruby stated.
"Be careful Mari don't let the cat out from the bag." Marc said playfully as he left with Ruby.
"Mari I'm your doctor but if you want I can also be your friend. Why don't you tell me who's the man that you like?" Adrien asked.
"Let's not countinue Dr. Noir because honestly I'm very embarrassed about it." Mari stated.
"Well that man that you like most be very fortunate." Adrien replied.
"Why do you say that?" Mari asked.
"Because you are very beautiful." Adrien replied. "And it's obvious that you have a pure heart out from any evil. You are a kind hearted sensitive and caring person.
Since everyone has to be in the hospital or is almost always in the hospital Adrienne was taken to Adrien's house so Audrey could take care of her and Maya took her to the artic to meet Emilie and they both played with her.
"Grandma Emilie?" Adrienne asked curiously.
"Yes dear I'm your grandma Emilie and I'll be here whenever you need me." Emilie replied and Adrienne smiled before hugging her.
Emilie started to tell them a story and Maya and Adrienne listened intensely.
Once Adrien was done doing the treatment for the day he sat down on the chair next to Mari's bed. "You haven't talked this whole time were you thinking about what I told you earlier?"
Mari shook her head. "No the thing is that you tell me some things-"
"I only said the truth." Adrien stated. "And the man that has your heart must be the happiest in the world."
They were so close from kissing. "Doctor that man is-"
"Excuse me can I come in?" Ana asked walking in the room and immediately feeling bad for interrupting what was about to happen.
"Please find my son." Roxie begged Detective Kurtzberg in tears. "I'm dying of the anxiety."
"Mrs. Fuller I understand what you must be going through but please try to calm down." Detective Kurtzberg stated. "We will of course look for your son and I assure you that we will find him."
"We put the report out yesterday but we decided to come and talk to you personally." Edward replied
"You did the right thing." Detective Kurtzberg stated.
"Roland is to blame for this." Roxie exclaimed desperately. "He did something to my son because he doesn't love him."
"I'll ask for him to be called at this very moment for an interrogation." Detective Kurtzberg replied. "He needs to declare of what happened to the child. He's the responsible one since the Judge gave him the custody."
At that moment Roland busted in the room. "Detective Kurtzberg my son was stolen. He's everything to me please fine him."
"I'm so sorry did I interrupt something important?" Ana asked even though she already knew the answer.
"No you didn't Ana." Mari replied.
"I'm sorry for not coming to visit you Mari I had some things to deal with." Ana stated.
"Dr. Noir can my friend Ana stay? We have a lot to talk about." Mari replied.
"Sure I finished with your treatment for the day and I have other patients to see." Adrien replied before leaving the room.
"Give me my son back Roland!" Roxie exclaimed.
"She's offending me and right now I'm desperate for my son. Who knows what's going on with him right now." Roland stated.
"If you really care about Eddie why didn't you report him missing the day that you lost him!?" Edward asked.
"Because I became crazy." Roland replied. "I could only think about looking for him. I looked for him everywhere in Paris."
"Admit that you took my son away for that reason to make him disappear." Roxie exclaimed. "You need to give me my son right now!"
"Mrs Fuller this man came to put out a demend and we can't stop him from doing so." Detective Kurtzberg stated.
"I'm so glad that you came to see me Ana." Mari told Ana.
"I'm so glad that I was able to after everything that I had to go through these last few days." Ana replied. "I didn't tell you this before since your parents didn't want you to worry but I got primiission from them to tell you now. Roland is back and he's trying to get revenge on everyone especially Roxie and Edward. He's forcing me to help him... He even took advantage of me to make sure that I helped him but I'm not... Not excidly. I warn your parents and friends of anything I know that he's planning and it worked most of the time. The only time that it didn't work was the trail where Roland fought for Eddie's custody. The thing was that no one expected for Roxie's jealousy to be as strong as it was and Roland won the trail. The thing is that yesterday morning he abandoned Eddie and I warn Roxie and Edward about it."
"Oh wow I didn't know all of that was happening. I'm sorry that Roland did that to Roxie and Edward and you? If Roland took advantage of you why didn't you report him?" Mari asked.
"I told your dad about it and the doctors are still doing the tests to have proof that Roland was the one who took advantage of me." Ana replied.
"Well hopefully everything will end up well." Mari stated.
"Adrien." Tom said as he walked over to Adrien. "I would like to talk to you about something important."
"About what?" Adrien asked.
"A lot of things happened that I didn't have the chance to properly thank you for saving Mari's life." Tom stated.
"No Mr. Tom you have nothing to thank me for." Adrien replied.
"You were very patient with me Adrien." Tom stated. "And delt with my stubbornness insults and my ego. Any other person would have just left but you kept fighting and waiting until I finally gave in and now I ask you to forgive me for everything that I did to you Adrien."
Adrien chuckles. "Forget about all of that Mr. Tom it's all in the past now. Now if you excuse me I want to go back to Mari's side."
"Wait I still have one more favor to ask you." Tom stated. "I still need to gain God's forgiveness and I'll only achieve that the day my daughter gets her sight back. Please operate my daughter and give her the light back in her eyes."
Adrien smiled. "I was actually going to ask you to let me operate Mari but now you just gave me the answer. I promise you that I won't fail you."
"Okay now it's up to you to say when." Tom stated.
"Well we'll have to wait for a small amount of time." Adrien replied. "I promise that as soon as Mari recovers from the recent operation that I'll operate her eyes to bring her sight back."
Fu went to visit Mari a little bit after Ana left and they started talking about no other than Felix Noir. When Tom and Sabine walked in. "Mom dad how's Adrienne?"
"She's perfectly fine Marinette." Sabine replied. "Right now she's with her older sister Maya who was dying to be with her again."
"I'm glad that Maya cares so much for Adrienne and I know that Audrey will take good care of both of them." Mari stated. "Though I wish that I could be by Adrienne's side and hold her in my arms and I know that moment well come very soon. I just have to wait."
Nino got the paperwork to be able to adopt the child and since he wanted to surprise Alya he tricked her to sign the papers so she wouldn't find out about the surprise. In a couple more hours Nino came back home with Eddie.
"And that child where did you get him?" Alya asked
"It's our child now the papers I made you sign earlier were actually adoption papers." Nino replied and Alya smiled hugging him.
The next day Adrien walked into Mari's room. "Good morning Mari."
Mari sat up straight. "Dr. Noir you came earlier today."
"I couldn't come early yesterday because I had some things to do but I was able to come early today to see my favorite patient." Adrien replied.
"Why am I your favorite patient?" Mari asked
"Because you're the most kindness and beautiful of all my patients." Adrien replied.
"That's only based on your opinion." Mari stated.
"I wasn't referring to the physical aspect of beautiful which you are but I was referring to the beautiful of your heart." Adrien replied. Mari blushed and looked away. "Why do you always act so nervous around me?"
"I- you-well I don't know sometimes-" Mari covered her face in embarrassment.
Adrien chuckles. "Alright I'll stop. I have good news for you. You're recovering very fast and soon I'll ask for you to be taken to a normal room and in a few days you'll be able to go back home to be with your daughter."
Mari smiled happily. "That's great news but is it for real? You're not lying to me right?"
"It's for real I'm not lying to you." Adrien replied.
"I really can't wait to see Adrienne since she's not allowed to be here." Mari stated. "Oh I almost forgot I wanted to ask you for a favor. I was wondering if you would let me touch your face so I could get an idea of what you look like."
Adrien hesitated for a moment but sat on the bed near Mari. "Sure go ahead."
Mari started to feel his face and to her everything reminded her of Adrien... Especially his lips. They were so close to each other that before they knew it they were leaning in and started to kiss each other.
'I knew it your heart still belongs to me just like how my heart still belongs to you.'
'He's so like him. His kisses his touches even his face. I couldn't control it because I feel like-'
Mari pulled back from the kiss. "What's wrong Mari?"
"Why did you do that?" Mari asked.
"I'm sorry if I offended you." Adrien stated.
"Y-you don't need to apologize. All I want is to be alone so please leave." Mari replied.
"Don't ask me to leave because I won't leave." Adrien stated. "Mari you need to understand that kiss came from the heart. You and I -"
'Yes it came from my heart but I gave it to him... My Adrien but he isn't here Adrien went far away and I shouldn't think of him.'
"-I think that we could try Mari there's real magic between us." Adrien continued. "Do you really think that I'm kissing every woman in this hospital?"
"Who knows maybe." Mari stated.
"Of course not Mari. You are something special who fulls my heart. You are beautiful from the outside but you're gorgeous in the inside." Adrien replied.
Mari covered her face. "Please stop my head is hurting. What you're saying is just like - and what I feel."
"What are you afraid of Mari?" Adrien asked.
At that moment Nathaniel walked in. "Can I come in?"
"Of course you can come in Nathaniel." Mari stated.
"Who's here with you?" Nathaniel asked.
"It's me Dr. Noir but I was just leaving." Adrien replied before leaving the room.
Outside the room Marc walked over to Adrien. "Adrien I want to talk to you about Mari."
Adrien nodded. "Sure what is it?"
At that moment Tom walked over to them. "Adrien-oh hi Marc - Adrien there's a matter that we need to talk about."
"Sure but I don't remember that we did have something to talk about." Adrien replied.
"I would like to give Mari the news today." Tom stated. "Of her eye operation."
"What a coincidence I was just going to talk to Adrien about the same thing." Marc stated.
"Let's go so you're the one giving the great news to Mari." Tom replied.
"Wait Mr. Tom this might not be the best time to tell her." Adrien stated.
"Adrien when it comes to good news any time is fortunate." Tom replied. "Don't you agree Marc?"
Marc nodded with a smile. "I absolutely agree."
Tom basically dragged Adrien back in Mari's room. "Dear Dr. Noir and I have great news to tell you. You should tell her Dr. Noir it's best that she hears it from her doctor."
"To tell me what?" Mari asked.
"The truth Mari is that I want to operate you." Adrien replied. "There's a possibility that you can see again. I would like to operate you so you can get your sight back."
"To operate my eyes?" Mari asked confused.
"I created a tenque that's gains the sight to many blind people even for those that were born blind and if it's necessary I will apply it to you." Adrien replied.
"You'll be able to see again dear." Tom said with a smile.
Later when Mari was alone in her room she thinks about the kiss that she shared with Dr. Noir. "I want to get my sight back but I'm afraid for Dr. Noir to operate me since he reminds me of Adrien. I feal like Adrien is near when I'm near Dr. Noir."
Sabine walked in the room. "HI dear who has come to visit you today?"
"Well Roxie just left a moment ago." Mari stated. "The poor thing is suffering from the lost of Eddie and I can understand her I would be devasted if Adrienne disappeared. Where's Adrienne now?"
"At the house with Fu." Sabine replied. "Don't worry about her she's in good hands. You'll be let out from the hospital in a couple of days and you'll be back at the house with her. Has Dr. Noir come to see you?"
"Yes many times I lost the count." Mari stated. "Did you know that he wants to operate my eyes so I can see again?"
"You don't seem happy about it dear." Sabine stated. "To get your sight back is what you always wanted."
"I still do but I don't want him to be the one to operate me." Mari replied. "I don't want to see him again and they don't know if I'll get my sight back."
"It's still too soon to decide. Think about it than make a decision." Sabine stated.
Later Fu went to visit Mari. "Fu I didn't tell my mom but I need to tell someone about what happened. Dr. Noir and I... Kissed."
"And how did you feel?" Fu asked her.
"I felt like Adrien was kissing me." Mari replied. "Either I can't forget about Adrien or this doctor is the new owner of my heart."
Soon Tom went in the room and Fu left the room. "Mari we need to talk and please be honest with me. Based on what you were talking about with Fu and based on your attitude I think that you fell in love with Dr. Noir."
"I wasn't born to love dad." Mari replied. "The only man that I loved is Adrien and I can't love another man."
