Chapter 270 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• He Just got settled, and started chatting with Cornelia. Clearly, this girl was not his antidote, but rather the poison that could take his life. Just as Dr. Dawson was full of gripes, Marcus calmly asked, “You seem pretty upset with Cornelia?” Dr. Dawson was taken aback. Was he a mind mader or something? She awkwardly laughed. “Comelia is so nice, how could I be upset with her?” Marcus was stanng at his phone, not looking at her. He asked softly. “Did she call me while I was out?” Dr. Dawson knew she couldn’t hide it. She didn’t dare to either, “She called for ‘Marcus not ‘Jeremy‘ I answered for you” Marcus asked, “What did you tell her?” Dr. Dawson said, “Just as you instructed, I didn’t dare to tell her about your condition just told her you weren’t available.” “Comelia is my wife!” After Marcus said that, he fell silent Dr. Dawson couldn’t figure him out and was getting more anxious. After a while, she cautiously asked, “Marc, if you have something to say, just spit it out. Don’t make me guess.” Marcus asked, “Wasn’t I clear enough?” Dr. Dawson said. “Maybe I just didn’t get what you were trying to say.” Marcus said, “Cornelia is my wife, the closest person to me by law. Not only does slje own half of my wealth, half of my life is hers too. Even if one day I’m at death’s door, the only person who can sign off on me giving up treatment is Cornelia Dr. Dawson was shocked, “Marc, you were the one who asked me to keep your illness from Cornelia before you passed out. I did as you instructed.”
• Marcus said, “I asked you to keep my condition secret. Did I ask you to be cold with her? You are my subordinates, but Cornelia is my wife.” Dr. Dawson went pale and was speechless. She had always seen Marcus as her own son and thought he saw her as a mother. Even with their professional relationship, he was always respectful. She never thought he could say something se harsh No, she had been around him for too long and had become arrogant. He was the one who put his own father in jail, and kicked his own mother cut of the Hartley family. He was cold–hearted. How could she ever expect him to treat her like a mother? After a long while, Dr. Dawson finally composed and tried to defend herself, “Marc, was just worried about you. Don’t you think you’re being a bit too good to Cornelia?” Marcus slowly looked up at Dr. Dawson. His face was pale but his eyes were as sharp as ever, “Cornelia is my wife. If I’m not good to her, who should I be good to?” Dr. Dawson said, “That’s not what I meant.” Marcus said, “Please leave.” Dr. Dawson didn’t answer. She had been with Marcus for so many years, this was the first time he dismissed her so coldly. He never treated her like this before. Never. All because of Cornelia Jayden, standing outside the room, saw Dr. Dawson walking out of the room in a daze. He was very worried and asked, “Mom, are there any new issues with President Hartley’s health?” Dr. Dawson looked at him and said sadly, “Marc doesn’t see me as his mother.” Jayden was truly puzzled, “You’re not President Hanley’s biological mom to begin with, and he doesn’t see you as his mom.
• I don’t see the big deal here, why are you so worked up?” “You think it’s not a big deal?” Dr. Dawson raised her voice emotionally, “Tve been looking after him since he was a lot. It’s been over twenty years. I’ve spent more time with him than his own parents ever did. I was the one who took him to school on his first day, I was the one by his side when he was sick. For the past twenty years, wherever he went, I was there. I’ve had no personal time because of him.” Dr. Dawson went on a rant, and Jayden looked at her, calmly replying, “Were you forced to do all that?” Dr. Dawson was taken aback, “You…” Jayden continued, “I know you’re a top–notch doc, and lots of hospitals would kill to have you, but think about it, would you make more bucks working elsewhere than at President Hartley’s? You’re earning big money working for President Hartley Isn’t that fair? If you find the job too exhausting, you can quit. No one’s stopping you. I bet there are tons of people who would jump at the chance to do it.” Dr. Dawson pointed at Jayden angrily, “You think I’ve been by President Hartley’s side all these years for the dough?” Jayden replied, “If it’s not for the money, then it’s to pay a debt of gratitude? If it’s the latter, you should be willingly do anything for President Hartley. It doesn’t matter how he sees us. Our lives were saved by him, we would’ve been long gone if not for him.” These words left Dr. Dawson speechless. Jayden paused, then said, “Mom, do you know why Patricia was able to serve two generations of the Hartley family?
