Chapter 555
The bullet had gone through his chest, missing his heart by only half a centimeter
Without even going through Marcusâ detailed medical records, the news alone was enough to make Corneliaâs heart race and scalp tingle. âDr. Lester, when did this happen?â
How come she never heard about it?
Dr. Lester slowly said, âit was probably more than ten years ago Marc had just taken over the Hartley Group, and he was set up by a competitor while doing business abroad. He nearly died.
âA group of us worked around the clock to save him. When he woke up, he faced new problems. He had to sign contracts while his body was still weak, which led to his
health issues
âIf Marc had listened to us and rested, he should be fine. But heâs been busy all these years, rarely taking time to rest, and neglecting his health, which has worsened his
condition.â
Cornelia quickly asked, âIf President Hartley rests well in the future, will his condition improve?â
âAs long as Marc can calm down and rest, his condition will definitely improve. The problem is⦠Dr. Lester rubbed his forehead and sighed, âI donât know why, but Marc doesnât seem to have much will to liveâ
âNo will to live? How could he not have a will to live?â Cornelia repeated Dr. Lesterâs words. For a moment, many things about Marcus flashed through her mind, but she couldnât think of any way to ignite Marcusâ will to live.
As Marcusâ personal assistant, she felt she knew a lot about him. But when he really needed her help, she realized she didnât know anything about him and couldnât help him solve any problems.
This feeling of powerlessness made her very upset.
Dr. Lester sighed. âThe only thing Marc has really cared about over the years is work. Heâs immersed in it every day, 365 days a year, hoping every day can be used for work. Anyone working so long with no leisure or hobbies will have problemsâ
Cornelia agreed with Dr. Lester, that one could not only focus on work, but also needed leisure life.
She said, âDr. Lester, when President Hartley wakes up, you all have to persuade him to pay more attention to his health. He already had serious health problems before he was thirty. What about the next few decades?â
Dr Lester said, âYour persuasion should be more effective than ours.â
Cornelia was unsure if Dr. Lester knew about her other relationship with Marcus, and this made her a bit uneasy. âWhat do you mean?â
Dr. Lester asked, âYouâve not been working with Marc for long, so you might not have seen his previous work pattern. Do you think his current work state is already
extreme?â
Cornelia nodded seriously. âYesâ
Dr. Lester continued, âBefore you came, Marcâs work intensity was even greater, with several days and nights of nonâstop work being common. Your arrival has reduced his lateânight work I think you have a certain influence on him, and your persuasion will be more effectiveâ
Comelia had never thought she could have an impact on Marcus. After hearing Dr. Lester, she realized she could help.
Of course, it wasnât her assistant identity that influenced him, but her identity as his wife. When he didnât take his medicine on time, mentioning his wife was very effective.
Since she had some influence on Marcus, could she help him wake up sooner?
Thinking of this, Cornelia suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question, âDr. Lester, how many years have you been with President Hartley?â
Dr. Lester asked, âWhy do you suddenly ask that?â
