Chapter 536
He Just got settled, and started chatting with Cornelia. Clearly, this girl was not his antidote, but rather the poison that could take his life.
Just as Dr. Dawson was full of gripes, Marcus calmly asked, âYou seem pretty upset with Cornelia?â
Dr. Dawson was taken aback. Was he a mind mader or something?
She awkwardly laughed. âComelia is so nice, how could I be upset with her?â
Marcus was stanng at his phone, not looking at her. He asked softly. âDid she call me while I was out?â
Dr. Dawson knew she couldnât hide it. She didnât dare to either, âShe called for âMarcus not âJeremyâ I answered for youâ
Marcus asked, âWhat did you tell her?â
Dr. Dawson said, âJust as you instructed, I didnât dare to tell her about your condition just told her you werenât available.â
âComelia is my wife!â After Marcus said that, he fell silent Dr. Dawson couldnât figure him out and was getting more anxious.
After a while, she cautiously asked, âMarc, if you have something to say, just spit it out. Donât make me guess.â
Marcus asked, âWasnât I clear enough?â
Dr. Dawson said. âMaybe I just didnât get what you were trying to say.â
Marcus said, âCornelia is my wife, the closest person to me by law. Not only does slje own half of my wealth, half of my life is hers too. Even if one day Iâm at deathâs door, the only person who can sign off on me giving up treatment is Cornelia
Dr. Dawson was shocked, âMarc, you were the one who asked me to keep your illness from Cornelia before you passed out. I did as you instructed.â
Marcus said, âI asked you to keep my condition secret. Did I ask you to be cold with her? You are my subordinates, but Cornelia is my wife.â
Dr. Dawson went pale and was speechless. She had always seen Marcus as her own son and thought he saw her as a mother. Even with their professional relationship, he was always respectful. She never thought he could say something se harsh
No, she had been around him for too long and had become arrogant. He was the one who put his own father in jail, and kicked his own mother cut of the Hartley family.
He was coldâhearted. How could she ever expect him to treat her like a mother?
After a long while, Dr. Dawson finally composed and tried to defend herself, âMarc, was just worried about you. Donât you think youâre being a bit too good to Cornelia?â
Marcus slowly looked up at Dr. Dawson.
His face was pale but his eyes were as sharp as ever, âCornelia is my wife. If Iâm not good to her, who should I be good to?â
Dr. Dawson said, âThatâs not what I meant.â
Marcus said, âPlease leave.â
Dr. Dawson didnât answer. She had been with Marcus for so many years, this was the first time he dismissed her so coldly.
He never treated her like this before. Never.
All because of Cornelia
Jayden, standing outside the room, saw Dr. Dawson walking out of the room in a daze. He was very worried and asked, âMom, are there any new issues with President Hartleyâs health?â
Dr. Dawson looked at him and said sadly, âMarc doesnât see me as his mother.â
