Marion's Grief

Marion had not yet recovered after two months and that made Jean very worried. Voluntarily, he decided to stay at Marion's house to help her manage the house because he could not bear to see the girl living alone in such a bad condition.

Alicia still came to help three times a week, but most of the time it was Jean who fed Marion's dogs and took them out for a walk twice a day. He also happily cooked food for Marion and shopped for groceries. He covered his face whenever he went out so that no one would recognise him.

His relationship with Marion's five dogs became increasingly close and consequently they always slept with him in the guest room.

Jean, who really loved dogs, felt very at home at Marion's house, and it didn't take long for all the occupants of the house to get used to his presence.
