Chapter 1157

Cornelia’s voice was soft and a bit innocent Marcus heard it, but it took him a few seconds of silence before he whispered, “I miss you”

To Cornelia, this reply sounded like he was just going through the motions, as if he was reluctant. Just as Cornelia started feeling upset, Marcus‘ voice reached her ears again from the phone, “I really, really miss you!”

Cornelia, hearing this, was so happy that the corners of her mouth lifted up, revealing a bright smile, I miss you too, so so so so much!”

She was telling him, her longing for him was double his, and her yearning for him was definitely much stronger than his for her.

Marcus‘ voice came again, this time with a hint of laughter, “Yeah, I know.”

Comelia whispered, “Don’t always answer me with ‘I know‘. You need to respond to me.”

Marcus responded, “Alright.”

Cornelia said, “You have to take care of yourself. Don’t always be so immersed in your work that you forget to eat like before. It’s very cold over there, and you get cold easily, so you need to dress warmly and not catch a cold.”

Before Cornelia could finish, she heard Marcus coughing. She immediately became worried, “Jeremy, did you not dress warmly and catch a cold? Is Dr. Lester with you? Give him the phone, let me talk to him.”

Then, Cornelia heard Dr. Lester’s voice, “Cornelia, you guessed right. Marc didn’t dress warmly, he even went out in the cold without proper clothing. This morning, he caught a cold and got a high fever, and the fever hasn’t subsided yet.”

He continued, “You need to convince him to rest. He needs a good night’s sleep; no work is as important as his health.”

Cornelia quickly persuaded, “Jeremy, you need to rest. You can work once you’ve recovered. Did you hear me?”

“Mhm.” Marcus murmured.

Cornelia could tell Marcus‘ voice was very weak, “Dr. Lester, I won’t talk to him anymore, you take him to rest. If anything happens, you need to tell me right away. If he doesn’t listen to you, or doesn’t want to take his medicine, tell me. I’ll fly over to take care of him.”

Dr. Lester said, “Alright, I got it. Goodbye!”

Then, Dr. Lester hung up.

Cornelia stared at the darkening phone screen, worry filling her heart. Marcus knew he was not well and was sensitive to the cold, but he still didn’t take care of himself.

She opened the flight booking app again, checking flights from the Capital to France. If she heard from Dr. Lester again that Marcus wasn’t taking his medicine or taking care of himself, she would fly over to him immediately.

Meanwhile. At a hospital in the Capital.

Marcus, lying in bed, was coughing non–stop, his face pale..

Dr. Lester stood by looking worried, “You shouldn’t talk in your current condition. If Cornelia calls again, I’ll answer for you.”
