Chapter 269
âWould my sister-inâlaw get jealous of me? Just because I give you a hug, sheâll get mad?â Briana was getting more and more curious about her unseen sister in law. âBrs, when will officially meet her?â
Marcus looked towards Comelia in the sunmom. âSoonâ
âWhen is soon?â Briana wanted to keep asking but didnât know how to phrase it âWhat do you think I should do to make Cornelia stay?â
Marcus responded, âDo you really need me to teach you how to make someone stick around?â
Bilans pouted, âItâs fine if you donât tell me how to make Comelia stay I just follow herâ
Before she could finish, Marcus interrupted her, âCome with me to the study on the third floorâ
Briana asked, âWhat for? Im not interested in your complex, hard to understand booksâ
Marcus replied. âJust follow me!
Reluctantly Briana did
On Comeliaâs side, Justin didnât ask her many questions. He just chatted with her while they drank coffee, about work, friends, even celebrities. But he never brought up the car accident.
Finally Comelia couldnât bear it anymore and asked him, âDoctor, donât you want to ask me about the accident?â
Justin chuckled. âIf you open up to me, it means youâve come to terms with it. As long as you stay positive, with a successful career and stable relationships, youâll soon move on from your past
Comelia bit her lip and smiled. âYouâre that confident I can move on? Arenât you worried everything today is just a facade?â
âMaybe I wouldâve been worried before, but after hearing you say that, Im not worried anymore Justin refilled Corneliaâs cup. âMs. Stewart, youâre someone who knows what you want and whatâs good for you. Once you come to terms, you wont get stuck in painful memoriesâ
*Thank you for your confidence in me, doctor. And thank you for what you said last night.â Cornelia sipped her coffee. She didnât usually drink coffee, but she could tell this was Patriciaâs good coffee just from the
aroma
Justin looked at Corneliaâs expression, âAre you blaming me, Ms. Stewart?â
Comella chuckled, âIâm sincerely gratefulâ
âI was just doing my job. Theres no need for formalities, Ms Stewartâ Justin checked the time. âLetâs end here today I prescribe some medication for you later. Follow the instructions and weâll see how it goes
*Dr. Terrel, do you charge per session or per hour?â Although Marcus had offered to pay for her treatment, Cornelia didnât intend for him to actually do so.
âI charge by the hour Weâve just talked for an hour, so that would be five hundred dollarsâ Justin usually charged patients by the second. This price might be steep for Cornelia and many ordinary people, but for Marcus. It was just a fraction He paid Justin much more than that
Justin had to admire Marcus for his foresight. Before his chat with Cornelia, heâd told him about the payment, instructing him to charge her a moderate fee
Justin figured Comelia should be able to afford five hundred dollars and wouldnât suspect the price was off.
