Chapter 542 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Comelia was adamant about reading the letter Skyler had written for her, “I need to finish this letter. Maybe Skyler needed my help, and this time, fil be there for her no matter what” With Cornelia firm on her decision, Marcus had no choice but to agree. He quietly accompanied her, drying her tears. Skyler’s letter continued: [Then, in France, when I found out how quickly Zavier had found me, I was in despair, and I wanted to end my life. But it wasn’t my time to die then, Marcus, your husband, saved me again. He asked me why I wanted to end my life? 1 answered, who would choose death if it were possible to keep living. As long as you’re alive, there’s endless hope, but I couldn’t see the future. Once caught by Zavier, I would have to continue living a life without dignity. If I’m to continue this undignified life, I’d rather choose death But I believe life is precious, we only get one shot at it, and there’s no do–overs. A strong will to survive prompted me to beg Marcus for help. I asked him to save me I knew he had the power to help me completely escape from Zavier, so I begged him to help me escape from Zavier, to give me a chance to survive.
• Perhaps because of you, he agreed to help. I knew Marcus and Zavier were friends, I was scared that he would reveal my whereabouts to Zavier. At that time, in order to escape from Zavier, I did something terrible. I told him that if he revealed my whereabouts to Zavier, you would be cursed. I knew Marcus cared for you, so I used this as leverage. Because Marcus cared enough about you, and perhaps because he made a promise to me, he never revealed my whereabouts no matter what Zavier did to him. But I’m still in Riverton, and I know Zavier is causing you trouble. I know that if I go back to Zavier, I’ll surely die. After much consideration, I decided to come back. Because you helped me, and I can’t selfishly hide and let you bear everything for me. Cornelia, if there’s a next life, I hope I won’t meet Zavier again.
• I hope I can still meet you and be your lifelong friend. Lastly, I want to say thank you! Only you, did not refuse to help me because Zavier and I were married or considered our issues as a private matter between a husband and wife, and that outsiders should not interfere. You gave me warmth, and you gave me hope to live. Even though it was short–lived, it was worth coming to this world once.] Just as Cornelia finished reading Skyler’s email, she heard someone shouting, “Fire! Fire!” “It seems like the place where Zavier and Skyler are is on fire. Cornelia, dial the fire department, I’ll go check it out” Marcus said, rushing towards the yard. “Jeremy, be careful!” Cornelia did not impulsively follow him, but first dialed the fire department, and only entered the yard to help after confirming it was safe.
