    His hands wererge and good looking with slender fingers and well defined knuckles.


    Maybe because he’d just exerted some effort, the veins on the back of his hand were visible, looking a


    bit menacing


    Come pulled her hand away and sat back down. President Hartley, got something you wanna chat


    about?”


    After she sat down, Marcus let out a sigh of relief. “We don’t necessarily have to chat about anything,


    just sit with me for a bit if you find talking to the boring, you can just y with your phone.


    All he wanted was for her to be by his side. Just seeing her was enough, he didn’t dare to hope for


    anything more.


    Since he put it that way, Cornelia didn’t mind


    She took out her phone and messaged Jeremy on WhatsApp, “Jeremy!”


    Sure enough, Marcus’s phone on the side buzzed once.


    Cornelia then sent a second message, “We are…


    Marcus’s phone buzzed again.


    Then Cornelia sent a third message,


    She hoped that Marcus’s private phone would stop buzzing, but after her message was sent, Marcus’s


    phone buzzed again.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Herst hope was shattered by these three buzzes.


    Marcus casually picked up his phone and slowly replied, “Why are you still up sote? What’s up?”


    Cornelia looked at him, watching him pretend to be nonchnt. She wanted to see how long he would


    lie to her and how good his acting skills were.


    Cornelia replied, “My boss is sick and in the hospital, so I came to visit him. I was about to leave but he


    asked me to stay and chat for a bit, but I have no idea what to talk about. You think he’s got issues?”


    Marcus stared at her message,pletely absorbed in his phone, oblivious to Comelia’s expression,


    “A sick person needspany. You should stay with him.”


    Cornelia snickered and replied. “You’re so generous. If one day he needs me to share his bed, would


    you personally escort me to his bed?”


    Marcus was taken aback, “Why would you think that?”


    Cornelia didn’t want to talk anymore, nor did she want to stay with him any longer.


    She stood up again, “President Hartley, I’m leaving!”


    Almost instinctively, Marcus grabbed her again, “Cornelia…


    In a daze, the scene she saw that morning resurfaced in her mind, and the feeling of nausea came


    over her again. The nausea this time was stronger than ever before, causing her stomach to churn…


    “Ugh…” Cornelia yanked her hand back and dashed to the restroom.


    Without thinking. Marcus pulled the needle out of his hand and followed her, “Cornelia, what’s wrong?”


    The nausea made her want to vomit, but she couldn’t puke anything out. For a moment, she felt pain


    all over her body, making her tremble and break out in a cold sweat….


    “Dr. Dawson!” Marcus yelled, stretching out his arm to hold Cornelia tightly and quickly returned to the


    room, “Cornelia, where do you feel ufortable? Tell me right away!”


    His deep voice ovepped with the voice from that morning, as did his face. Wave after wave of


    nausea hit Cornelia, she struggled hard, “Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”


    Marcus didn’t let go of her, instead, he pushed her onto the bed where he had onceid, he said in a


    low voice, “Lie down and don’t move, I’ll have a doctor check you out


    right away”


    The bed was filled with his scent, a faint minty smell. She used to find this smell refreshing, but now


    she felt nauseous.


    That morning when he and Natalia were in bed, the room was also filled with this scent….
