Chapter 573
“Patricia, you gotta know this ain’t your fault, no need to beat yourself up” Cornelia thought Patricia had
no clue she was allergic to peanuts ‘cause she never told her and didn’t ask before eating. If she hadn’t
been so careless, none of this would ve happened
“Nelly, it’s not that I didn’t know I just forgot. Marc once told me you were allergic to peanuts and
warned me not to keep them around the house” Patricia was riddled with guill, wishing she could just
p herself silly
If anything happened to a good kid like Cornelia because of her negligence, she’d spend the rest of her
life wallowing in guilt and remorse
And what would Marc do if something happened to Cornelia? Patricia didn’t even dare to think about it
“Patricia, it’s okay Cornelia sneaked a nce at Marcus. She hadn’t told him about her peanut allergy
How did he know?
Not only did he remember, but he also specifically warned Patricia. Although he hadn’te clean
about his real identity, he had been taking care of her all along and even concocted a lie that he was
Jeremy’s friend.
Before, she thought he wanted to woo her only after knowing she was his wife. Otherwise, given
Marcus‘ aloofness towards the opposite sex, it would be impossible for him to give a woman the
impression that he was pursuing her.
Marcus had expressed his desire to live a good life with her more than once, under the guise of
Jeremy. Now, she knew he wasn’t just talking the talk, he was walking the
walk
Maybe, she could try to ept that Marcus was Jeremy

Maybe, as long as they worked hard together, no matter how far apart their status and identities were,
they could live a good life.
Thinking about this, Cornelia’s eyes reddened involuntarily.
Seeing her teary eyes, Marcus thought she was having an allergy, so he gently patted her back, “Are
you feeling bad?”
Cornelia shook her head, then nodded.
Marcus turned his head and shouted towards the door, “Dr. Lester, where the hell are you?”
His angry tone waspletely different from when he was talking to Cornelia.
Dr. Lester hurried over with his medical kit, “I’m here. I was just preparing the medicine for peanut
allergy. If the medicine wasn’t ready, mying would be futile, right?”
Cornelia didn’t want Dr. Lester to be reprimanded by Marcus because of her, so she quickly stepped in,
“Dr. Lester, don’t rush. I just had a few sses of water. I should be fine.”
Dr. Lester quickly checked her out, “You handled this so well, is it because you had frequent allergies
before?”
Cornelia nodded, “Every time I ate peanuts, I would have an allergic reaction. But my family didn’t
realize it was caused by peanuts. They thought I just hadmon skin allergies. It was only after I
nearly suffocated from a severe reaction that I was sent to the hospital by my grandmother, and it was
found out that I was allergic to peanuts. After that, my grandmother never let me eat peanuts again. But
I was still a kid then, didn’t know any better. Someone gave me some peanut candies. I didn’t know
they were peanuts, and I ate them like a dope, causing an allergic reaction. After it happened a few
times, as long as I didn’t eat too much, I could handle it myself.
“Right, you didn’t eat much today, and you managed it in time. The situation shouldn’t be too serious.
But with your peculiar constitution, you can’t afford to be careless.” Dr. Lester took out a red pill and
handed it to Cornelia, “This is a special medicine for peanut allergies, take it.”
Marcus took the pill and popped it in his mouth, “What’s the main ingredient in this medicine?”
Dr. Lester retorted, “Why aren’t you taking your medicine and instead stealing Cornelia’s? You’re an
adult, why are you acting so childish?
Marcus looked serious, “I’m asking you, what’s the main ingredient in this medicine?”
Dr. Lester listed the ingredients, “This is a specific treatment for peanut allergies.”
Marcus stared at Dr. Lester, his eyes icy. “Why are you carrying this medicine around?”
