Chapter 955

The kid flashed a sweet smile at her grandma, “Grandma *

Hearing this, the grandma was thrilled, “Our little Nelly has started to speak, and the first word is grandma.”

The dad chimed in, “Apart from when she’s feeding or snoozing, Nelly practically spends her entire time with you. She must know how much you love her.” Cornelia then looked towards her dad. Although he was chatting with grandma, he wasn’t looking her way. He was massaging his wife’s shoulders and neck. She looked truly content, her face plastered with happiness.

As the woman’s face became clearer from a blurred smile, Clair’s annoying face suddenly appeared in front of Cornelia.

She shouted at grandma and dad, “I want a divorce! Hawthorne, did you hear me? I want a divorce!”

The dad, dejected, took a drag of his cigarette, “No! We vowed to stick together for life when we got married. I’m never divorcing you. Clair, you can forget about it

Clair, deaf to his words, covered her ears and yelled, “I don’t need you or this child! You can’t provide the life I want. I’m off to chase the life I desire. If you really love me, you should let me go. Why are you stopping me from seeking my happiness?”

Cornelia saw the light gradually fade from her dad’s eyes, “We vowed to spend our lives together, to raise Nelly together. Why are you breaking your promise?”

Clair retorted, “Was I not clear enough? Because you can’t give me the riches I want, I want to pursue a life that’s truly mine.”

Dad said, “Clair…”

Clair continued, “If you don’t let me go, I’ll end myself right here.”

Hearing this, the last glimmer of light vanished from dad’s eyes. He gave a faint smile, “Okay, I’ll sign. I’ll let you go.”

In the blink of an eye, Cornelia saw her dad lying in a pool of blood. The scene deeply shook Cornelia’s heart.

“Dad” She frantically rushed towards her dad in the pool of blood, but she couldn’t touch him. She could only watch as her dad turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing before her eyes, “Dad, dad…”

“Cornelia, Cornelia, wake up, you’re having a nightmare.” In a daze, Cornelia heard someone calling her name.

The voice was familiar and pleasing. She tried hard to open her eyes, but they wouldn’t budge, leaving her to be swallowed by darkness.

Marcus shouted, “Dr. Lester!”

Dr. Lester replied, I’m here. I’m here.”

Marcus said, “Cornelia just had a nightmare. I don’t know what she dreamt of, but I couldn’t pull her out of it”

Dr. Lester immediately examined Cornelia, “Her physical condition is fine, much better than yours actually. She’s just been emotionally shocked, and she hasn’t had a good rest these past few days. Let her rest tonight, she’ll be back on her feet by morning.”

Marcus said, “We can’t take her health lightly”

Dr. Lester responded, “I know”

He continued, “I think you need the rest more. You should take a break. We’ll take care of the girl next door.”

Marcus said, “You can leave now.”

Dr. Lester asked, “Did you not hear what I just said? Marcus, you have a family now, you can’t let your partner become a widow at such a young age. right?”
