Chapter 29
7 accept your apology Cornelia looked coldly at Helena, not sure what she was up to. âBut, Marcus decided to let you go from the Hartley Group Youâve known him for so many years, you should know better than me that his decisions are unchangeableâ
âCornelia, you can change his decision, because everything Marcus does is for youâ Helena seemed to lose her sanity, grabbing Corneliaâs arms tightly
Her hands gripped Corneliaâs injured arm, unable to tell if it was intentional or not. âCornelia, I beg you, please help me. Youâre the only one who can. If you donât plead for me, I have nowhere to go but deathâ¦
âHelena, let go first, youâre hurting me âCornelia tried to push her away, but a normal personâs strength couldnât compare to someone who had lost their sanity.
Helena clung to Cornelia, shaking her frantically I wonât let go! If I let go of you, Iâm done.â
Let her go! Marcusâs deep voice suddenly sounded.
Helena, frightened, immediately let go of her hand, her face covered in snot and tears. âMarcus, Iâve already apologized to Cornelia Please forgive me, donât make me leave Marcus quickly stepped forward, protecting Cornelia behind him. âAyden.â
Hearing Marcus call his name, Ayden appeared by their side like a ghost, carrying the irrational Helena away on his shoulder
Marcus turned his head, seeing Corneliaâs pale face and the beads of sweat rolling down her forehead
He reached out to wipe her sweat, but stopped just before his fingers touched her forehead.
Corneliaâs flushed lips moved slightly, whispering, âIt hurts..
Marcus, no longer caring about anything, picked her up in his arms. âDr. Dawson!â
Dr. Dawson had been here all along, holding her medical kit, but hesitated to interrupt the two standing so close to each other
Marcus carried Cornelia inside, and Dr. Dawson immediately followed âCornelia, are you okay?â
How could she be okay?
She was in so much pain!
Cornelia was in so much pain that she couldnât speak, and kept taking deep breaths.
Marcus coldly said, âWhat are you waiting for? Hurry up and check her wound.â
Cornelia,
At this critical moment, Marcus was still more rational, not asking her if she was okay.
He settled her on the sofa, gently supporting her shoulder, feeling her shivering from the pain. He impatiently yelled again, âHurry up!â
Although he yelled at Dr. Dawson, Cornelia shrank back in fear.
Dr. Dawson said, âYou scared Cornelia.â
Marcus,â
Cornelia had a coat nonchalantly thrown over her, under which she donned easyâtoâremove loose sleepwear.
When Dr. Dawson tried to help Cornelia remove her sleepwear, Marcus consciously turned away, only to hear Cornelia cry out in pain with a hint of laughter.
He quickly turned back to see Corneliaâs arm wrapped in thick bandages, already stained red with blood
Corneliaâs eyes and nose were red and swollen, looking very pitiful
Marcus sought to offer some comforting words, but struggled to find them. Eventually, he turned to her and stated, âHelenaâs exit from the Hartley Group bears no relation to you.â
Cornelia pouted in grievance, Iâm not as stupid as her.â
Cornelia didnt understand why Helena foolishly thought Marcus was risking his life for her. If Helena had any brains, she wouldnât have thought that way
Cornelia felt that she had been particularly unlucky lately, with everything happening to her
Marcus added, âHelena hasnât been in the West Region for long, but sheâs already bribed a lot of moneyâ
Cornelia,
No wonder the scenic areaâs streetlights hadnât been installed yet, and the hotelâs management was a mess Fortunately, Marcus arrived early and investigated the surroundings, learning the truth.
This Helena looked very honest, but she had no idea that Marcus was even more terrifying than a tiger.
