Chapter 558
âWhy the heck is this happening?â
Cornelia was puzzled. She was planning to call Dr. Lester in for a check, but noticed that her hand was firmly held by Marcus.
She tried to move slightly, but Marcus held her even tighter
âMr. Marcus, if youâre awake, cut the act, okay? Donât scare us like this,â Cornelia suspected Marcus was playing possum because she didnât understand how a comatose person could hold her hand so lightly
She extended her other hand and gently pinched the back of his hand. She used a certain amount of force, if he was pretending, he should have reacted
However, Marcus didnât respond at all, leaving Cornelia utterly disappointed.
As for why he suddenly opened his eyes, held her hand, and called her name, Cornelia, not being a doctor, couldnât understand. She needed to get Dr. Lester to check on him
right away.
Cornelia tried again to free her hand, but still to no avail. Even with all her strength, she couldnât break free from Marcusâ grip.
He hadnât woken up, then why was his grip so strong?
With no other options, all Cornelia could do was stay by his side, literally not moving an inch; she couldnât even go to the restroom.
Luckily, she hadnât drunk much water todayâ¦
Meanwhile, Zack and Abigail were still waiting in the parking lot. With Cornelia yet to return, they couldnât leave at ease.
They had wanted to go into the hospital, but were blocked by several burly men at the entrance.
Zack angrily said, âThis is a hospital, meant to serve patients. Who the hell are you to stop us?â
The men blocked the entrance, completely ignoring his complaints.
Abigail quickly dragged Zack away, âI noticed that weâve been waiting here for so long and aside from us, not a single person has gone in or out. I guess Marcusâ condition must be really bad, thatâs why theyâre so strict about letting outsiders in.â
Zack asked, âWhat the heck happened to Marcus?â
Abigail shook her head, âI have no idea. I just heard that tall guy say Marcusâ condition is serious.â
Zack said worriedly. âCould it be that Marcus is pretending to be sick just to keep Cornelia with him?â
Abigail shook her head and then nodded, âItâs possible. I read a novel once where the male lead got the female lead back by pretending to be sickâ¦â
Zack angrily interrupted Abigail, âWhat the hell! Youâre still thinking about novels? Novels are all made up, just fantasies created for girls like you. Thereâs not so much fairytale stuff in real life. What Iâm worried about now is that Marcus, knowing Cornelia wants a divorce, might do something drastic and harm her.â
Shaken by Zackâs words, Abigail quickly shook her head, âNo way, absolutely no way. Marcus would never hurt Nelly.â
Zack coldly said, âMarcus, that heartless bastard, could send his own father to jail. What else canât he do?â
