Chapter 151
âMarc, donât get excited. âDr. Dawson signaled the other doctors to leave In here to tell you whatâs going on
âGo aheadâ His tone was icy, as if to warn Dr. Dawson that he wouldnât be polite to her if she couldnât give a reasonable explanation
Dr. Dawson said, âHavenât you noticed that Cornelia has been acting weird since Skylerâs accident?â
Of course, Marcus had noticed. Cornelia didnât know Skyler very well but she was overly concerned about him, even more so than Zavier
Seeing that his mood had stabilized. Dr. Dawson continued, âIf Iâm not mistaken, I think Skylerâs incident triggered some bad memories for Cornelia
âBlood, so much blood, no no,â Cornelia suddenly cried out in fear from the hospital bed Her hands were flailing around unconsciously. âDonât grab me, donât grab me
Her reaction seemed to confirm Dr. Dawsonâs words
Marcus grabbed her flailing hands and pulled her into his arms. âDonât be afraid, Cornelia. Iâm here Nothing is going to happen.â
Marcus concern for Cornelia was beyond Dr. Dawsonâs understanding. She needed to pay more attention to Corneliaâs situation. âCorneliaâs father died in a car accident Maybe you can ask her grandma about the details. We need to find the root of her nightmares and solve the problem.â
Marcus gently patted Corneliaâs back, his voice as soft as if he were comforting a child. âDonât be afraid, Cornelia Iâm here. Nothing will happen.â
She was asleep and couldnât hear what he said.
Marcus thought for a moment, took out his personal phone, and texted Cornelia as Jeremy, âCornelia, donât be afraid of anything from now on. Iâll be your strongest supportâ
After typing the message, Marcus checked it one letter at a time, making sure it was correct before sending it.
Dr. Dawson was right there, witnessing Marcusâ actions. She wasnât sure if he had heard all she had said earlier. âMarc, why donât you tell Cornelia that youâre Jeremy?*
âBecause she doesnât like Jeremy at all.â Marcus answer was simple.
Dr. Dawson nodded, left the room, and almost bumped into Ayden, who was about to enter. His hair was wet, and he must have been out handling business. What have you been up to?â
Facing his biological mother, Ayden showed no emotion. âI went to look into Corneliaâs situation.â
Dr. Dawson had been by Marcusâ side and didnât see him make any calls. When did Marc ask you to look into it?â
Ayden replied, âBefore we left the mountain.â
Dr. Dawson sighed, âSo he noticed something was off with Cornelia and asked you to investigate early on. I guess I just wasted my breath.â
Ayden didnât say anything more, went straight into the room, and handed Marcus some photos. âPresident Hartley, Iâve found all the details you asked me to investigate. Corneliaâs father died in a car accident, and not only was she at the scene, but her father died protecting her. I think the problem youâre worried about lies here.â
Marcus took the photos, and each one was filled with blood.
In the pictures, the man lay in a pool of blood, his body almost crushed, but he still protected the little girl in his arms.
It was an ordinary fatherâs last effort to protect his daughter.
Marcus felt very uncomfortable and returned the photos to Ayden. âDestroy the photos and never mention this againâ
