Chapter 149
Steven glanced at the door and then at Zavierâs trembling face, he basically understood âHow did you let your wife end up like this?â
âWhen a person has no way out, thereâs nothing they canât do Maybe death is better than living âHannah sighed faintly, drawing everyoneâs attention
Steven shot her a sidelong glance, What about her family?
Hannahâs face turned pale and she lowered her head, not saying another word. After all these years, this was still his only way
After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened, and everyoneâs hope, Dr. Dawson, emerged
Zavier immediately tried to rush in, but Dr. Dawson quickly closed the door, âSkyler is fine, but the baby couldnât be saved. She needs to be taken to the hospital for a cleaning procedure
âAs long as sheâs okay Ill take her to the hospital now âZavierâs goal was never the baby. It was just a means for him to tie Skyler down.
Dr. Dawson stopped him, âSkyler doesnât want to see you. Marc, Cornelia wants you to go in.â
Zavier was furious, âMy wife had a miscarriage, and you wonât let me in, but you let him in? What for?â
Dr. Dawson didnât say anything just staring at Marcus.
âIf you want to protect Skyler, keep quiet for now âMarcus patted Zavierâs shoulder and stepped into the room.
As soon as he entered, the room was not only filled with a strong smell of blood, but he also saw Corneliaâs red and swollen eyes. She had definitely just cried.
He didnât understand why Cornelia, who had only met Skyler twice, cared so much about her.
Cornelia hurriedly closed the door, âPresident Hartley, could you do me a favor?â
Marcus nodded, âSureâ
His response was quick and firm, leaving Corneliaâs prepared speech to persuade him unused, âYou didnât even ask what favor I need, and you just agreed Arenât you afraid Iâll hurt you?â
Marcus, âWould you hurt me?â
Cornelia immediately shook her head. Even if she wanted to hurt him, she didnât dare to act.
He said. âTell me what you want me to doâ
âTake Skyler back to Riverton and keep Zavier away from her. Because only in this way could Skyler survive.â Cornelia knew she couldnât fight Zavierâs influence, so the only one who could help her was Marcus
Marcus, Dont worry, Ill handle this matter.â
Corneliaâs eyes turned even redder with gratitude, âThank you, President Hartley, youâre such a good person!â
He was just doing what a husband should do for his wife.
Cornelia wanted to accompany Skyler, and Dr. Dawson had to come too. With a car that could only fit four people, plus the driver, there was no seat for Marcus, so he acted as a temporary
driver,
Marcus had to come along because the snow was heavy, and the wind was strong. The road down the mountain was covered with thick snow, and even with anti-skid chains installed it was very dangerous. He didnât want to entrust Corneliaâs safety to anyone else.
The snow on the road was thick, and the wheels made a hissing sound as they crushed it, every sound was a reminder of how dangerous the downhill journey was.
Cornelia, sitting in the passenger seat, looked worriedly at Marcus. As the boss of the Hartley Group, he was taking such a great risk for his friendâs wife
He must know that if anything happened to him, the consequences would be severe.
Marcus noticed her gaze, âWhatâs wrong?â
