Chapter 565

Cornelia didn’t reply, and Jeremy sent a few more messages in a row “Cornelia, you promised me once. Don’t go back on your word”

“Cornelia, respond to me”

“Cornelia, you once said you would never leave me, are you going back on that too?”

Cornelia was soft hearted, especially towards Jeremy But when she remembered that he was actually Marcus, who wasn’t as helpless as he pretended to be, she began to

hesitate

After a while, Cornelia moved her fingers and started to respond, “Hold your horses. Let me gather my thoughts, then we can chat.”

Jeremy replied, “If there’s anything bothering you, you can tell me. Maybe I can help.”

Cornelia said, “No need”

After replying. Cornelia tossed her phone aside, not wanting to chat anymore.

She was used to her superior–subordinate relationship with Marcus and wasn’t ready to accept that he was her husband.

Moreover, she had yet to figure out what exactly happened between him and Natalia that day.

Lunch was ready by midday.

Cornelia packed two lunch boxes and was ready to go to the hospital. When she opened the door, she ran into the gloomy–looking Abigail and Zack. “What’s up with you guys?”

Abigail and Zack asked simultaneously, “Why are you home? Did Marcus do anything to you?”

Cornelia responded, “What could he possibly do to me? I’ve been back for a while. Where did you guys go? It looks like you didn’t sleep well last night.”

Zack and Abigail took a closer look at Cornelia and, not finding any injuries, finally relaxed.

Abigail said, “We were worried about you going to see Marcus alone last night, so we waited for you in the parking lot. Later, a man in a suit took us to a rest area in the hospital, provided us with food and drink, but didn’t allow us to look for you or wander around the hospital. We couldn’t hold on any longer, so we came back to rest.”

Cornelia said. “Then you guys should rest. Don’t worry about me, I can take care of myself.”

Zack saw the lunch boxes in her hand, “Did you make those for Marcus?”

Cornelia nodded, “Yes.”

Zack asked, “Are you planning to stay with him?”

Cornelia said, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Zack continued. “Then why are you still making food for him?”

Cornelia replied, “He is my superior, and I am his assistant. This is also part of my job.”

Zack said, “You shouldn’t be like Abigail, only looking at the surface, not the essence. Seeing his good looks and forgetting how he deceived and betrayed you.”

Abigail intervened, “Don’t drag me into this.”

Cornelia said, “I might have misunderstood him about that incident. Let’s not bring it up again.”

Zack contested. “You saw it with your own eyes, how could it be false?”

Cornelia smiled, ‘What you see with your own eyes might not always be the truth.”

Zack agreed, “That’s true.”

There were many people who saw Cornelia seducing a neighbor’s husband with their own eyes, and caught by the man’s wife, but the truth was different.

Cornelia said, “I didn’t expect you guys to be back, so I didn’t prepare lunch for you. Just order takeout. I’m heading to the hospital.”

Abigail replied, “Drive safe.”

Cornelia responded, “Will do.”

Cornelia rushed to the hospital, with Dr Lester greeting her at the door.

Seeing the two lunch boxes in her hand, Dr Lester grinned from ear to ear, “Ms. Stewart, what delicious food did you prepare for Mare?”

Cornelia replied, “I made chicken soup and omelets, but I’m not sure if he’ll like them.”

Dr. Lester assured her “Don’t worry I’m sure he’ll love whatever you make. He took a nap after you left and just woke up. You can take the food directly to his room. It would be best if you could watch him finish it.”
