with me? feplied Briana,
Chapter 523
Comelia asked, âWhatâs wrong with him?â
Briana replied. âIâm not really sure whatâs up, I just heard from Dr. Dawson that heâs sick and in the hospital. Cornelia, would you mind coming with me to visit my brother at the hospital?â
That morning, Cornelia saw Marcus getting all cozy with Natalia at the Riverside Terrace Club, and then he got sick in the evening Was it because he usually kept his desires on a leash and let loose all of a sudden, his body just couldnât handle it?
If thatâs the case, Cornella thought Marcus deserved it.
But his wife, she was really getting the short end of the stick. He was out there messing around, and when his health took a hit, those women wouldnât be there for him. The burden of caring for him fell onto Dr Dawson and his wife.
The more Comelia thought about it, the more sickened she felt, âBri, Iâm currently at Southern Peak, and itâs not convenient for me to accompany you to visit President Hartley If I return to Riverton and President Harley is still in the hospital, visit him then.â
âYouâre at Southern Peak? Canât you come back tonight?â After asking, Briana didnât even let Cornelia answer, âThere are still train tickets from Southern Peak to Riverton. Itâs a quick ride. Cornelia, just hurry back. Iâll pick you up at the train station
Briana was so enthusiastic, it was kind of hard to say no to her. But every time Comela thought about Marcusâs actions this morning, she felt sick to her stomach. She didnât want to see him before she had a chance to adjust her mindset. And her going to the hospital in the middle of the night as an outsider would only cause trouble. âBr, I need to stay with my grandma, Iâm really sorry.â
Bnana nodded disappointingly, âAlnight then. Cornelia, you rest up, Iâll hang up now!
It was a shame, Cornelia was always worried about Jeremy, and she sounded like shit was on the verge of tears on the phone. But when she heard about Marcus being sick and in the hospital, she didnât seem worried or sympathetic at all, and wasnât willing to go with her to visit him.
Guess Cornelia didnât really care much about Marcus, and her brother needed to step up his game.
She wondered if Cornelia would regret not going to the hospital today when she finds out that Jeremy and Marcus are actually the same person.
After confirming that Jeremy was okay, Cornelia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she could get a good nightâs sleep, but as soon as she lay down, the scene from this morning kept replaying in her mind
-The messy room, the entwined coupleâ¦.
âAhh!â Cornelia smacked her forehead, telling herself over and over again, âCornelia, stop thinking about all that crap. Marcus is just your boss; his private life has nothing to do with you You just need to focus on doing your job.â
Thatâs right, some things you canât just forget by not thinking about them, the harder you try not to think, the clearer the images in your memory become. She could even hear the sounds of them in bedâ¦
Cornelia tossed and turned all night because of this, and didnât fall asleep until late into the night.
She didnât sleep well, was woken up by the alarm in the morning, and her eyes were super puffy.
Seeing her like this, the two elderly ladies were very worried, âNelly, is it because youâre not used to this bed, causing you to not sleep well?â
Cornelia couldnât say it was because she didnât sleep well due to her bossâs affair. She awkwardly nodded, âThatâs probably it.â
