    Chapter 1135


    Jayden turned to Ben, “Did President Hartley send you?”


    Ben retorted, “What else?”


    Jayden asked again, “So, President Hartley predicted that Cornelia would call you if she couldn’t reach


    him. He really cares about her. But why did he keep it from Cornelia? Do you know why?”


    “How would I know what President Hartley is thinking? Ben looked up at the light on the ER door, “Is he


    in bad shape?”


    If it wasn’t that bad, Ben guessed Marcus wouldn’t have told him the truth, let alone have him rush to


    the Capital to deceive Cornelia with them.


    Jayden said, “I’m not sure about the specifics. But Dr. Lester has contacted top doctors both


    domestically and internationally. I believe they will find at way to treat President Hartley”


    Ben didn’t know how serious Marcus was, but he firmly believed Marcus would wake up. “Cornelia is


    smart. She will call again after a while. If President Hartley still hasn’t woken up by then, we won’t be


    able to keep it a secret. We need to think of a n in advance. We can’t let President Hartley’s strategy


    fail.”


    Jayden said, “Let’s discuss this after Dr. Lester is done.”


    Ben replied, “We have no other choice.”


    After ending the call, Cornelia was staring at her phone, not blinking. A momentter, Grandpa


    Augustine’s kind voice reached her, “Nelly, didn’t you like the food tonight?”


    There were only Steven, Hannah, Lucas, Rosie, and Cornelia at the table, a total of five people. They


    left after eating a bit, and Cornelia didn’t eat at all. But it wasn’t because of the food, but because


    Cornelia was not in the mood, “Grandpa Augustine, the food is great, Just that I don’t have an appetite


    tonight.”


    Grandpa Augustine sat down next to Cornelia, speaking earnestly, “You’re missing Marc after he’s just


    been gone a little while?”


    Cornelia replied, “Grandpa Augustine, it’s not what you think.”


    Grandpa Augustine asked, “Then what is it? Tell me, maybe I can help.”


    Cornelia replied, “It’s nothing.”


    Grandpa Augustine asked again, “Are you mad at him because he left without telling you?”


    Cornelia replied, “No.”


    Grandpa Augustine gently patted her head, “Nelly, even the closest couples are still two individuals.


    You can’t be together all the time like conjoined twins. Let Marc do his thing, and you live your life. You


    can’t rely on him for all your emotions. Do you understand?”


    Cornelia understood, but she still worried about him.


    Grandpa Augustine said, “He wants you to stay in the Capital for a few days, so have fun. I’ve arranged


    a few guides for you. You will definitely spend a great time here”


    Cornelia said, “Grandpa Augustine, I appreciate it, but it’s not necessary. I’m going back to Riverton


    tomorrow. I have my own work and other things to deal with.”


    Grandpa Augustine said, “Marc left you in my care, and he wants me to keep you in the Capital until he


    comes to pick you up. Nelly, you wouldn’t let me break my word, would you?”


    Cornelia didn’t know what to say.


    Grandpa Augustine continued, “That’s settled then. You’ll stay in the Capital. I’ve already told the kids,


    they’ll be here for the next few days to keep youpany.”

    Cornelia couldn’t refuse, so she agreed to stay.


    Grandpa Augustine said, “It’ste, you should get some rest.”


    Cornelia replied, “Okay”
