Chapter 140 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Marcus caught her as she collapsed into his arms, gently patting her back, “Nelly you didn’t do anything wrong, and you don’t need to apologize Forget the past and live your life, okay?” ‘No, I don’t want to understand. I just want you back Cornelia cried out non–stop, her body trembling like a wounded animal Marcus held her close, trying to comfort her. But it was useless She was trapped in a terrifying world, lost within her own mind In her haze, Cornelia was transported back to her childhood, back to the scene of the car accident Little Cornelia lay in a pool of blood, watching helplessly as her father, also in a pool of blood, slowly closed his ges “Dad” Comelia coughed up blood, then lost consciousness “Comelia” Marcus watched in horror as Cornelia fainted in his arms. His sharp gaze turned to Justin. “Why is she like this?” Justin promptly explained, “Mr Hartley, don’t worry. All her reactions are within my expectations Ineed to awaken her deepest fears, so she can bravely face reality. Only by confronting it can we completely remove the thom in her heart” Marcus understood, but seeing Cornelia in pain still worried him if he could, he’d take on her pain, “Is there anything we can do to lessen her suffering?” “Mr Hartley. Thave some sedatives here” Justin took out a bottle of pills from his bag “Give her half a pill first, and let her sleep. If she still remembers the accident when she wakes up, the rest of the treatment should be much easier” “Remember what I said Marcus picked up Cornelia and brought her to the second floor, setting her down in her old bedroom.
• Instead of giving her the pill right away. Marcus called for Dr. Dawson. “Check this pill, see what’s in it He was extremely cautious. If the pill didn’t come from Dr. Dawson, he wouldn’t take it. And he wouldn’t let Cornelia take anything from anyone else either. After sniffing the pill and running some tests, Dr Dawson told Marcus, “Marc, this is a sedative. It has calming effects” Relieved, Marcus broke the pill in half and pushed it into Cornelia’s mouth, “Comelia, good girl, take the medicine. You’ll feel better” Perhaps the pill was bitter. As soon as Marcus put it in her mouth, Comelia spit it out Marcus frowned ‘Get some water” Dr Dawson quickly handed over a glass of water. Marcus tried to feed Comelia the pill with the water, but she clenched her teeth, refusing to swallow In desperation, Marcus tried an old and simple method. He took a sip of water, then gently kissed Cornelia, giving her the water mouth to mouth Feeling the water, Cornelia instinctively opened her mouth. Marcus quickly pushed the pill into her mouth, then gave her a big gulp of water, successfully making her swallow the pill. The whole thing happened so fast. It not only caught Dr Dawson off guard, but even Marcus didn’t realize what he had done until after it was over He couldn’t remember what else He touched his lips, spinning them around, still tasting the unique flavor of Comelia it was a bit sweet, but also Behind his silver glasses, he stared at Comellas red lips yearning to taste them again But the timing wasn’t right When it’s time he would savor her taste, memorizing it deeply Dr Dawson watched him, amused in just a few days, his affectionate gestures with Comelia were so natural it seemed their relationship had made great strides. Perhaps when she wasn’t aware, his actions were bolder Not wanting to intrude on their private time. Dr. Dawson quietly excused herself
• Upon leaving the ran into Briana who was sneakily observing, “Bri, don’t bother your brother” Briana worriedly said. “Dr Dawson, is my brother bullying Cornelia? Cornelia is fine when she’s with me. Why did she faint when the’s with him?” “Your brother would never bully Comelia Dr Dawson led Briana downstairs. “You come with me, don’t worry about anything else “But will Cornelia really be okay?” Briana truly liked Cornelia and was very worried that her brother might bully her Dr Dawson chuckled. With your brother there, no one would dare to bully Cornelia” When Comelia slowly woke up, it was already nine in the morning of the next day As soon as she tried to move, her hand was held by a warm hand. A clear voice came to her ears, “Cornelia, thank goodness, you’re finally awake” Cornelia had just woke up and was still a bit groggy, unsure of what had happened, “Bri, what happened?” “Cornelia, you fainted all of a sudden last night. You need to rest now Stay put Briana turned her head and shouted, “Marcus, Cornelia is awake” Then, Marcus’s tall figure walked in Comelia didn’t know he had been waiting at the door all this time and never left He quickly came to Cornelia’s bedside, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Faced with Marcuss excessive concern, Cornelia always felt a bit at a loss, her words stumbling, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, President Hartley!” Marcus could tell that Cornelia was trying to keep a distance, and he didn’t want to stress her out. “Don’t push yourself. Just rest here today, I have Bri stay with you.” “I’m leaving now” Despite his worry for her, Marcus acted indifferent to ease her burden. Before leaving he gave Briana a look. Briana immediately understood, followed him out, and heard him say, “Give me your phone”
