Chapter 1158
Marcus shook his head.
âMarc, I get that youâre worried about Cornelia having doubts, but sheâs your wife. She has a right to know the truth. You donât need to tire yourself out. trying to keep this from her.â Dr. Lester practically shouted in frustration.
Marcus lifted his head, looking coldly at Dr. Lester, âIf you tell her, Iâll make sure you lose your ability to speak.â
Even though Marcus was stuck in bed, his aura was still intimidating, almost terrifying. Dr. Lester had reason to believe that if he dared to provoke Marcus, Marcus would probably get up and hurt him.
âDonât worry I wonât tell Cornelia without your permission. But if I help you hide this from her, you need to keep your promise.â Dr. Lester said.
Marcus didnât respond, slowly closing his eyes.
âMarc, you canât break your promise!â Dr. Lester insisted.
After a moment, he heard Marcus murmur, âI promised I would cooperate with the doctors, no matter how painful the treatment. As long as I can live one more day. Iâll do everything to make it happen.â
To live one more day meant one more day with Cornelia, one more day to see how she was doing. In the past, Marcus wasnât afraid of death, because there was nothing in the world he cared about. But now, he was scared. He was scared he wouldnât wake up, wouldnât see Cornelia again, or wouldnât be able to keep his promise to grow old with her..
He was even more scared of Cornelia finding out about his death, scared she wouldnât be able to handle the blow, she would blame herself, and she wouldnât be able to live a good life!
No matter what, Marcus had to find a way for Cornelia to live well!
Suddenly, Jayden knocked on the door, âPresident Hartley, Gloom has found all the information you asked him to look for. Heâs outside. Do you want to
see him?â
Dr. Lester, hearing this, got even more frustrated, âCan you let Marc rest for once? You might not be afraid of dying, but donât ruin my reputation as a doctor.â
âLet him in.â Marcus, lying on the bed, sat up, ignoring Dr. Lester.
Dr. Lester stamped his foot in frustration, âAre you trying to give me a heart attack?â
No one paid any attention to his outburst.
Jayden turned around and left the room. A moment later, the door opened again, and a short man who looked to be in his forties, came in.
Despite his height, he was extremely nimble. He handed a folder to Marcus, âPresident Hartley, Iâve found out everything you asked me to.â
Marcus took the folder, flipping it open to reveal several incredibly gruesome photos, âDead?â
Gloom nodded, âAs you can see, Natalia was forcibly removed from the real Clairâs womb. The real Clair wasnât anesthetized during the operation, and her wound wasnât treated afterward. Whether she died from blood loss or from unbearable pain, we donât know. The people involved in this incident include the fake Clair, Granger, and Hank, among others. Apart from these three, the rest were killed by them to keep them quietâ
The scenes in the folder were incredibly bloody and cruel. No sane person could have done this.
Marcus asked, âIf everyone who knew about this was killed, how did you get this information? Where did these videos come from?â
Gloom said. âThese videos were recorded by Granger and the others. The fake Clair and Granger are completely devoid of humanity. Not only did they record their brutal acts, but they also occasionally watch them for their own twisted pleasure. This video was copied by someone working for the Reese family.â
