    Chapter 864


    Cornelia gently ced her hand on his tightly gripped steering wheel and said softly, “No matter what


    happens, remember you’re not alone, I’ll always be there with you.”


    Her words filled Marcus with warmth and touched his heart, ‘Cornelia…”


    He didn’t have the guts to tell Cornelia the truth, worried she’d fall apart before they got home, worried


    she couldn’t handle such a blow. In the past, he was fearless, even towards death. But now, anything


    involving Cornelia, even the tiniest thing, made him anxious.


    This feeling of worry, born out of caring for someone, was both beautiful and painful…


    Cornelia, I’m always here.”


    Marcus paused for a moment, then said, “What you just said to me, is what I want to say to you. No


    matter what happens, remember you have me, and I’ll always be there with you, till the end of time!”


    Cornelia said, “We’ll always be there for each other. No matter what happens, we won’t part.”


    Marcus, “Okay”


    He stepped on the gas, hoping to get to their destination as soon as possible. If he couldn’t save


    Granny Reba’s life, he hoped Cornelia could see her onest time to lessen any regrets.


    Usually, this journey would take forty minutes, but today Marcus drove at full speed and arrived in half


    the time. Patricia was already waiting at the door. Seeing their car, she couldn’t help but cry, “Cornelia,


    hurry up, your grandma is waiting for you.”


    Cornelia was a bit confused, “Patricia, what are you talking about?”


    “Patricia…” Marcus didn’t let Patricia contínue. He immediately got out of the car, took Cornelia’s hand,


    and led her into the house.


    Cornelia seemed to realize something. She was a bit nervous and her steps were a bit shaky, but


    luckily Marcus was there to steady her.


    There was a crowd of people outside Granny Reba’s room. When they arrived, the crowd parted to


    let them through. Marcus led Cornelia through the crowd and smoothly arrived at Granny Reba’s


    bedside.


    Granny Luisa quickly made room, “Nelly,e here quickly, your grandma has something to say to


    you.”


    Cornelia finally saw her grandma. Granny Reba was lying on the bed, her face as pale as


    transparent paper and so thin it was just skin and bones. But she remembered that when she left a few


    days ago, Granny Reba was still healthy, still joking with Patricia. How could she have be like


    this in just a few days?


    “Grandma…” Cornelia sat next to Granny Reba’s bed, tightly gripping her hand, her voice trembling,


    “Grandma, where do you feel ufortable? Can you tell me, please?” “Nelly…” Granny Reba


    struggled to make a weak sound, only audible if the room was quiet enough and she listened carefully.


    Cornelia said, “I’m here…”


    “Marc…” Granny Reba made every effort, reaching out to Marcus, “Marc,e here too, I have


    something to say to both of you…”


    Marcus immediately stepped forward, his tall figure crouching in front of Granny Reba’s bed, “I’m


    here, go on, I’m listening…”


    Granny Reba grabbed his hand and ced it on Cornelia’s, “Marc, I’m entrusting Nelly to you. I


    hope you’ll always treat her well. If one day, you find a girl you like and want to divorce Nelly, please tell


    her directly. Don’t hide it, and don’t keep it from her. That’s the only way to minimize the hurt…”


    Marcus made a solemn promise, “I swear, I’ll treat Nelly well all my life, I’ll only love Nelly, and I’ll never


    like any other girl. I’ll never be irresponsible to her.”Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
