Chapter 574
Dr. Lesterâs eyes were as wide as saucers as he stared at him, âYou seriously donât know why I always carry this medication?â
Maybe Marcus had forgotten, but Dr. Lester dared not. One day, Marcus had called him in the middle of the night, telling him that Cornelia was allergic to peanuts and asked him to develop a medicine for it ASAP
He also emphasized that once it was made, he must have it with him at all times in case of emergencies.
But now, this little punk was doubting him!
Dr. Lester was miffed and muttered under his breath, âThis isnât like you, Marcus.â
Marcus had tested the medicine himself with no adverse reactions, âGive it to Cornelia first.â
Dr. Lester didnât want to deal with him anymore, but he turned to Cornelia and smiled, âCornelia, this medicine is very effective for peanut allergies. Keep it with you and if you accidentally eat peanuts, take one. Itâs potent, so one is enough. Donât overdo it.â
Cornelia chuckled, âThank you, Dr. Lester! Thank you, Marcus!â
Seeing Corneliaâs smile, Marcus was lost in thought again.
He wasnât a suspicious person. He always believed that if he had doubts about someone, he shouldnât keep them around. However, he just strangely started doubting Dr. Lester who had been with him for over two decades.
Dr. Lester said it wasnât like him, and it truly didnât match his usual behavior. Even he himself didnât understand why he would get flustered when it came to Cornelia.
âDrink lots of water for the next two hours. If nothing happens, you should be okayâ After giving his instructions, Dr. Lester didnât spare Marcus another glance, picked up his medical bag, and left.
Hmph, he had his pride too.
âMarcus, Cornelia, Iâll go clean out all the peanuts in the house. Donât worry, we wonât have them in the house anymoreâ Patricia wanted to give them some alone time and without waiting for their response, she dashed off.
In the study, only Cornelia and Marcus were left. For a moment, both were at a loss for words, making the atmosphere a bit awkward
Marcus felt as the husband, he should break the silence, so he said, âCornelia, if youâre feeling unwell, you have to tell me
Cornelia looked at him.
Marcus asked, âDonât you recognize me?â
Cornelia sniffed, whispering. âMarcus, were you testing the medicine for me just now?â
Marcus and Dr. Lesterâs conversation was cut short, but Cornelia could infer the whole story from the halfâspoken words.
The reason why Dr. Lester had the antiâpeanut allergy medicine was that Marcus had instructed him before, and Marcus had forgotten about it which led him to think there was something wrong with Dr. Lester carrying it.
Marcus had taken her medicine, not because he was being childish, but because he was testing it for her. Heâd been through so many dangers, public and private, that heâd worry someone might poison her.
He even dared to take the medicine he suspected! If Dr. Lester were really up to something, the medicine would be poison and heâd surely know the consequences!
Why would he be so reckless? Just because she was his wife?
