Chapter 1073

Marcus said, “I’m fine.”

Marcus said he was okay, but Cornelia didn’t buy it.

She wolfed down her food, ‘Regardless, I want Dr. Lester to check you out, just so can breathe easy”

Marcus grabbed Comelia’s hand, holding it tightly, “Comella, I suddenly fancy a movie, would you join me?”

Comelia pulled out her phone. “Let me call Dr. Lester first. Once he gives you the green light, I’d watch a million movies with you.”

Marcus knew Comelia was as stubborn as a mule, so he just nodded in agreement.

When they got home, Dr. Lester showed up in no time. Throughout the check up, Cornelia stood by Marcus‘ side, her eyes filled with worry.

Marcus gave Dr. Lester a look and he immediately caught on, turning to Cornella, “Comelia, Marc’s just got some minor issues. As long as he eats right and stays off the booze, he’ll be just fine.”

Comelia said. “That’s reassuring”

Dr. Lester asked, “Could you fetch him a glass of water?”

Comelia said. “Right away”

As soon as Cornelia left, Dr. Lester’s face fell He gripped Marcus‘ wrist anxiously, “Marc, what on earth is wrong with you? Why is your pulse suddenly so slow?”

In all his years of practice, Dr. Lester had never seen anything like it. He freaked out

Marcus said, “I’ll fill you in later. For now, we have to keep Comelia in the dark.”

Dr. Lester said, “Marc, your life is what matters most. Everything else is secondary”

Marcus scoffed, “You think I don’t want to live? But from the moment I was born, there’s been someone who wished I hadn’t made it into this world.”

Dr Lester got the hint, “What did Brennen do to you when you were little?”

Marcus didn’t say anything, which was as good as a yes.

Dr. Lester cursed, “Bastard! He really is a bastard! If he didn’t want you, he should’ve kept it in his pants. Now he has you and your sister, and he doesn’t even like you guys. Why doesn’t that bastard drop dead?”

Marcus said, “Zip it! Comelia’s coming”

Just as he said that, Cornelia walked in, “Dr. Lester, who were you swearing at? I heard it from outside.”

Dr. Lester was pretty chill, so if he was cussing someone out, they must’ve done something real nasty. He was fuming, “I’m talking about those bastards who can’t control themselves”

Cornelia fell silent.

Marcus said, “If you want to swear, do it at home. I’m fine here. You can go

Dr. Lester wanted to say more, but Marcus told him to keep it from Cornelia, so he left. “I’m going. Remember what you said, or else I…”

Marcus gave him a cold look, “Or else what?”

Dr. Lester felt a chill, didn’t dare to say another word, and left with his medical bag.

Cornelia took Dr. Lester’s word for it. If he said Marcus was okay, she felt a bit more at ease. She handed Marcus a glass of water, “Here, have some water. After you finish, we can start the movie. Any favorites?”

Marcus didn’t really care about the movie. He cared more about who he was watching it with, “Anything’s fine”

Cornelia said, “I’ll set up the projector, and then we can pick a movie together”
