Chapter 1353
Dr. Lester looked back at Granny Luisa, then at Marcus who lay on the bed unresponsive. âGranny Luisa, donât fret. Even though Marcus hasnât woken up yet, his vitals are stable.â Dr. Lester said.
Hearing that Marcusâ vitals were stable, Granny Luisa felt somewhat relieved.
Granny Luisa stepped into the room, her gaze falling on Marcus.
She said, âMarcus told me that Cornelia had found some clues and asked me to dash to the Capital to help him out immediately. I did as he wished, but Iâm wondering, are we really minimizing the damage to Cornelia by doing this?â
Seeing the disappointed look on Corneliaâs face, Granny Luisa realized she might have messed up. She was on the verge of spilling the beans to Comelia, nearly brought her to see Marcus. But in the end, Granny Luisa decided to stick with Marcusâ plan.
They had kept Cornelia in the dark for so long, they couldnât let their efforts go down the drain now.
Dr. Lester said, âIâve tried to talk some sense into Marcus, but look at him now. His biggest fear is Cornelia seeing him in this state.â
âPoor Cornelia.â Granny Luisa sat by the bed, clasping Marcusâ hand, âMarcus, Cornelia came looking for you just now, did you know?â
Marcus didnât respond to her. Granny Luisa squeezed his hand, âCornelia is a smart girl. Zavier spoke to her today, probably spilled some beans she didnât know before. I guess she must know the real reason why you divorced her now. Cornelia is really upset. You need to wake up soon. Weâre all waiting for your guidance on how to comfort her. Marcus, please wake up soon. If you donât, what will happen to Cornelia and the baby?â
Granny Luisa wiped her tears away and continued, âYou might not care about me. Iâm already old, but you must think about your wife and child.â
Regardless of what Granny Luisa said, Marcus showed no sign of waking up.
Cornelia returned to the Duran family, running into the butler who was looking for her.
Seeing her pale face, the butler was very concerned, âCornelia, did Zavier come to you again?â
Cornelia shook her head and continued walking. She nearly tripped, but the butler caught her in time.
Cornelia said, âThank you.â
âAnything you need help with, just let me know.â The butler replied.
Cornelia asked, âDidnât you say our homeâs security system has been under frequent attacks?â
âYes, do you have any leads?â The butler asked.
âCan we trace the IP address of the attacker?â Cornelia asked.
The butler shook his head. Cornelia continued, âSuppose, Iâm just saying suppose. What would you do if everyone was hiding something from you, thinking itâs for your own good?â
The butler thought for a moment, âIf thatâs the case, I might choose to stay in the dark. Iâd go along with their wishes, as long as theyâre happy.â
After hearing the butlerâs advice, Cornelia had an epiphany, âThank you. Now I know what to do.â
The butler patted Corneliaâs head, âYou have a train to catch tomorrow, go get some rest.â
Cornelia nodded, âAlright.â
After watching Cornelia go upstairs, the butler went to the side room.
Grandpa Augustine wasnât sleeping. Instead, he was kneeling before a statue, murmuring, âSilvia, was I right or wrong to do this?â
