Chapter 191
Cornelis was sure the person who saved her was Jeremy She even heard him talking to her before she blacked out Why did he disappear after waking up? Seeing her awake, Marcus, who hadnât slept a wink all night from worry, finally settled down. Who else did you think it was?â
He didnât expect himself to be so worn out that he lost his voice
Cornelia propped herself up and looked around The man she wanted to see was still nowhere in sight, which added to her disappointment. âPresident Hartley, when did you come? Have you seen Jeremyââ
He thought, âHe is me, I am Jeremy âThe urge to tell her the truth almost overcame Marcus, but he still didnât have the courage. He never thought he could be so cowardly. âHe took care of you all night and left just now.â
âHe stayed all night and then left?â Cornelia retracted her searching gaze, disappointed.
Jeremy had risked his life to save her, so why couldnât he wait for her to wake up?
Was it because he didnât want to see her, or because he thought she didnât want to see him?
No matter what, they were still legally married, and it wasnât right for him to keep avoiding her.
They should really sit down and talk things through to decide if they wanted to divorce or continue their marriage.
Corneliaâs sulky expression extinguished Marcusâs joy at her awakening âYou seem disappointed that itâs me whoâs been taking care of you.â
Cornelia thought of a tactful response. Youâre my boss, and Iâm your assistant. Itâs my job to take care of you. How could I feel relieved when you take care of me?â
Marcus snorted âSo Jeremy can take care of you?â
Cornelia found his question strange Jeremy is my husband, of course he should take care of me.â
Suddenly. Marcus felt a wave of resentment towards Jeremy. Even though he was the one by her side every day, he wasnt even qualified to take care of her because of his identity He continued, âJeremy is my friend. He canât see you right now, so he asked me to take care of you.â
Cornelia asked in confusion. âSince when were Jeremy and you friends? Didnât you say you didnât know him before?â
Marcus replied. âIf I didnât know him, would I trust a stranger and leave you who was unconscious to him?â
Cornelia asked. Then why did you lie to me before?â
Marcus hesitated, and said, âIt was him who said there was some conflict between you couple and you hadnât forgiven him yet. He was afraid you would resent me too, so he asked me to keep it a secret from you.â
How dare Cornelia had a grudge against him, and she was not such a stingy person âHe is him, you are you. Youâre two completely different people. How could I take out my anger on you because of him?â
What she said was normal, but they felt like daggers to Marcus. Each word was like a thorn, piercing his heart. Tll get the doctor to check you again. If everythingâs fine, weâll check out and go home.â
Go home?
