Chapter 912
Marcus gave a laugh, he looked like he was laughing, but his gaze was sharp and terrifying. âThe guy he wants to see is meâ
Comelia said, âThen Iâll go with you.â
Marcus gently patted her head, âGranny Rebeccaâs death has something to do with Brennen⦠Donât you blame me at all?â
Cornelia said, âIâve told you before, Brennen and you, you guys are totally different people. His screw-ups have nothing to do with youâ
Marcus said, âMy life was given by him. His blood is flowing in my bodyâ¦
Comelia cut him off, âSo what?â
So what! Her straightforward words clarified her stance, giving hirn endless strength and warmth, but he still felt uneasy. âSometimes, I feel the blood flowing in my body is filthy.â
Cornelia said, âYou canât think like that. Think about it, arenât there any similarities between your situation and mine? Youâre also a victim. Brennen should be the one to bear all the consequences of his sins, why should you take it for him?â
Marcus wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
Zack, who was closest to the door, quickly opened it. A stranger stood at the door, âWho are you? Who are you looking for?â
The man said, âIâm Hank, a friend of Comeliaâs father. I heard Granny Rebecca passed away, so I rushed back to say my goodbyes.â
Hearing the voice, Cornelia quickly ran over, âHank?â
Hank nodded, âNelly, when I met you, you were just a little kid. Itâs been so many years, do you still remember me?â
Seeing her fatherâs friend, Cornelia was very happy, âI have a picture of you with my dad, and I look at it often, so I remember you. Please come in.â Cornelia invited him in, Hank first mourned Granny Rebecca, âI remember Granny Rebeccaâs roast beef was so delicious, Iâve never had a chance to eat it again.â Cornelia said, âYou still remember how delicious my grandmaâs roast beef wasâ
âMy grandmother treated me like her own son. How could I forget.â Hank sighed, âI visited her before I left Rosenberg for Christmas.â
Looking at Granny Rebeccaâs photo, Hank wiped his tears, âThat day she mentioned you, said youâre working at a decent company in Riverton, that your superior treats you well. She told me a lot about you. At that time, I was in a hurry and couldnât spend more time with her. Didnât expect that would be our last goodbye. If I had known, I would have stayed longer.â
Cornelia said, âDonât be sad. My grandma would be happy to know you came to see her.â
Hank said, âNelly, youâve lost your only family, what will you do in the future? If you donât mind, you can consider me and my wife as your family. If you need any help, just let me know.â
Marcus coldly said, âSheâs not alone, she has me!â
Only then did Hank look at Marcus. Facing Marcusâ stern gaze, he felt a chill in his heart, âNelly, who is he?â
Cornelia pulled Marcus forward a bit, âJeremy, this is my dadâs good friend, Hank. Hank, this is my husband, Jeremy.â
