Chapter 1330
Dr. Lester could only sigh and think, âMan, this dude is one stubborn son of a gun!â
Barely alive, he spent a fortune to buy the villa next to the Duran family, just to be closer to his sweetheart. Sometimes, he even thought about hopping the fence to sneak a peek at her. But the Duran familyâs security system was no joke, and he couldnât crack it in a short time. So he moved in some time ago, but hadnât had any luck.
One night, Cornelia stayed in a nearby house after a prayer ceremony, and he seized the chance to see the woman he had been missing.
Worried that the smell of medicine on him would make her uncomfortable, he sprayed on a ton of cologne before leaving the house. The scent was so strong that he couldnât stop sneezing.
The guy then said, âSet it up for me. I want to go see the snow in Forgotten Kingdom tomorrow.â
Dr. Lester replied, âThis is a critical time for your recovery. Letting you go out to see Cornelia in the middle of the night was already a big concession. It might snow heavily tonight, and itâs cold. Youâre not to step foot outside.â
The man said, âI want to see her.â
Dr. Lester said, âShe might not go. If you go, it might be a waste of effort.â
He insisted, âEven if thereâs a one in ten thousand chance, I will go.â

Dr. Lester was left speechless in frustration, âMarc, can you just listen to me for once? Iâve told you countless times, the recovery period is as important as the surgery. You canât think that just because the surgery is over, your life is saved and youâre fine. If you donât rest properly during this time, all our previous efforts could be in vain, and all your suffering could be for nothing.â
The man still only said one thing. âI want to see her.â
Dr. Lester said, âAre you trying to give me a heart attack? Look at my gray hair, all caused by worrying about you. Canât you give me a break?â
âThese days, sheâs always out in a car, I havenât even caught a glimpse of her. Tomorrow is a chance, I want to see her The manâs tone was a bit hurt, almost making Dr. Lester soften up.
Dr. Lester fell silent.
Ben peeked out from the doorway, âDr. Lester, if Mr. Artis wants to go, let him go. If you donât, heâll keep it in his mind, how can he recover? Donât worry, Iâll go with him, take good care of him, and wonât let his condition be affected.â
Dr. Lester grabbed something and turned to chase Ben, âBen, believe it or not, I can kill you with this broom?â
Ben ran and looked back, âDr. Lester, why are you hitting me again?â
Dr. Lester said, âYou know Marc is barely better, his mood canât fluctuate much, and you still encourage his nonsense. If anything happens to him, Iâll kill you.â
Far away, Ben stopped, âHow do you think heâs been these past few months? Heâs nearly died several times, and each time it was Cornelia who brought him back. He finally has a chance to be close to her, heâs looking forward to it every second, but he canât even see her face. How do you think he feels? Dr. Lester, Mr. Artis is in pain, and heâs never happy. Can he recover? Maybe you should let him go. If he can see the person he wants to see, his mood will improve, and so will his condition.â
Dr. Lester was silent.
Ben said again, âSeeing him like this, it really breaks my heart.â
Dr. Lester sighed, âI feel the same way, itâs already hard enough to keep him alive. He doesnât dare to see Cornelia in his current state, and can only silently accompany her from a distance. Iâm afraid this wonât help his condition.â
Ben said, âDr. Lester, youâve got it all wrong. As long as he can be with Cornelia, in whatever way, itâs his motivation to keep living.â
