Chapter 544


    Chapter 544


    After parking in the hospital lot she sat quietly in her car, reying the past year she spent with Marcus


    in her head.


    To her, Marcus was an excellent superior. He respected and protected his team, and treated them well.


    She also respected and supported him if he was in danger, she’d risk her own life to save him. But she


    never imagined that he was Jeremy, her husband….


    After sitting for a while, Cornelia took a deep breath and got out of the car to head towards the inpatient


    department.


    Visiting hours were long over, but this hospital was owned by the Hartley Group Getting permission to


    visit was a breeze.


    From a distance, Cornelia spotted Dr. Dawson waiting for her at the entrance.


    She picked up the pace towards Dr. Dawson, “Evening, Dr. Dawson.”


    “Marc’s condition isn’t great. He really shouldn’t be seeing anyone. He made an exception for you, but


    try not to stay long,” Dr. Dawson said with a rather unfriendly tone.


    “Did I do something wrong. Dr. Dawson?‘ Cornelia asked.


    “What do you mean?” Dr. Dawson paused for a moment and said.


    “I feel like you’ve changed recently. You’re not the Dr. Dawson I knew. It’s almost like you have a beef


    with me”


    Some people were sneaky and can be dealt with. But the real tough ones were the straight shooters


    like Cornelia. She said what was on her mind, and was so upfront that it left people speechless


    Dr. Dawson looked a bit awkward, “Perhaps I’ve been on edge because of Marc’s illness. My tone was


    off, I apologize.”


    “We all work for President Hartley. We should respect and get along with each other. Only by doing so


    can we work better for him. Don’t you think?”


    “Of course Dr. Dawson led the way into the hospital, “Come, let’s go see Marc.”


    Marcus was staying in a VIP room. It was not just a room, but the whole 8th floor, which was pretty


    swanky.


    Dr. Dawson brought Cornelia straight to Marcus’s room, “You may go in.”


    Cornelia took a deep breath,posed herself, and knocked lightly on the door


    ‘Come in,” Marcus’s voice came from inside.


    Cornelia entered and saw Marcus sitting on the bed.


    He looked pretty good, didn’t seem sick at all. Why did Dr. Dawson say he was in bad shape?


    What she didn’t know was that to keep her from worrying, Marcus had the best and most expensive


    makeup artist touch him up before she arrived.


    Marcus looked at Cornelia, a hint of smile hiding behind his sses, “You’re here.”


    Cornelia nodded, not daring to meet his eyes, pretending to look around, “President Hartley, what


    happened to you?”This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Just a minor issue. Marcus gestured to the chair next to him, suggesting she sit, “Would you like


    something to eat or drink?”


    Cornelia shook her head, “No need to fuss.”


    Marcus noticed her looking around, avoiding his gaze. He guessed she might need a favor, but was too


    shy to ask, “Do you have something you would like to discuss with me? If so, as long as it’s within my


    capabilities, I’ll definitely help you out.”


    Cornelia thought for a moment, gathered her courage and looked at him, “President Hartley, what


    exactly is your rtionship with Jeremy?”
