    Chapter 149


    Steven nced at the door and then at Zavier’s trembling face, he basically understood “How did you


    let your wife end up like this?”


    “When a person has no way out, there’s nothing they can’t do Maybe death is better than living


    “Hannah sighed faintly, drawing everyone’s attention


    Steven shot her a sidelong nce, What about her family?


    Hannah’s face turned pale and she lowered her head, not saying another word. After all these years,


    this was still his only way


    After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened, and everyone’s hope, Dr. Dawson, emerged


    Zavier immediately tried to rush in, but Dr. Dawson quickly closed the door, “Skyler is fine, but the baby


    couldn’t be saved. She needs to be taken to the hospital for a cleaning procedure


    “As long as she’s okay Ill take her to the hospital now “Zavier’s goal was never the baby. It was just a


    means for him to tie Skyler down.


    Dr. Dawson stopped him, “Skyler doesn’t want to see you. Marc, Cornelia wants you to go in.”


    Zavier was furious, “My wife had a miscarriage, and you won’t let me in, but you let him in? What for?”


    Dr. Dawson didn’t say anything just staring at Marcus.


    “If you want to protect Skyler, keep quiet for now “Marcus patted Zavier’s shoulder and stepped into the


    room.


    As soon as he entered, the room was not only filled with a strong smell of blood, but he also saw


    Cornelia’s red and swollen eyes. She had definitely just cried.


    He didn’t understand why Cornelia, who had only met Skyler twice, cared so much about her.


    Cornelia hurriedly closed the door, ‘President Hartley, could you do me a favor?”


    Marcus nodded, “Sure”


    His response was quick and firm, leaving Cornelia’s prepared speech to persuade him unused, “You


    didn’t even ask what favor I need, and you just agreed Aren’t you afraid I’ll hurt you?”


    Marcus, “Would you hurt me?”


    Cornelia immediately shook her head. Even if she wanted to hurt him, she didn’t dare to act.


    He said. “Tell me what you want me to do”


    “Take Skyler back to Riverton and keep Zavier away from her. Because only in this way could Skyler


    survive.” Cornelia knew she couldn’t fight Zavier’s influence, so the only one who could help her was


    Marcus


    Marcus, Dont worry, Ill handle this matter.”


    Cornelia’s eyes turned even redder with gratitude, “Thank you, President Hartley, you’re such a good


    person!”


    He was just doing what a husband should do for his wife.


    Cornelia wanted to apany Skyler, and Dr. Dawson had toe too. With a car that could only fit


    four people, plus the driver, there was no seat for Marcus, so he acted as a temporary


    driver,


    Marcus had toe along because the snow was heavy, and the wind was strong. The road down the


    mountain was covered with thick snow, and even with anti-skid chains installed it was very dangerous.


    He didn’t want to entrust Cornelia’s safety to anyone else.


    The snow on the road was thick, and the wheels made a hissing sound as they crushed it, every sound


    was a reminder of how dangerous the downhill journey was.


    Cornelia, sitting in the passenger seat, looked worriedly at Marcus. As the boss of the Hartley Group,


    he was taking such a great risk for his friend’s wife


    He must know that if anything happened to him, the consequences would be severe.


    Marcus noticed her gaze, “What’s wrong?”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
