    Chapter 1389


    “Zack, chill out, let me exin things first.” Cornelia knew that once they found out she was back with


    Jeremy, they’d be pissed. She had nned to shoot them a text exining everything, but then


    Hannah came by and shepletely forgot about it.


    Zack said, “Go ahead. I’d love to see how you’re gonna defend that jerk.”


    Cornelia said, “Jeremy never betrayed me. The reason he acted that way was because he was


    seriously ill, he thought he was dying and that’s why he staged that drama with Tahlia, to push me


    away.”


    Zack said, “So he thinks he’s dying and that gives him the right to hurt you? Doesn’t he know how


    important he is to you? Doesn’t he know what matters to you the most?”


    Cornelia said, “What he did was wrong, but his intention was to protect me.”


    Zack retorted, “He ims to be protecting you, but all he’s really doing is hurting you. He’s only treating


    you this way because he knows you’re into him.” Zack, a big guy standing six feet tall, suddenly broke


    into tears.


    He wiped away his tears and said, “Cornelia, listen, no matter what his reasons were for hurting you,


    you can’t just forgive him easily, or he’ll do it again.”


    Abigail walked over with Hope in her arms, saw Zack crying, and couldn’t help butugh, “Cornelia,


    grab your phone and take a video. We should capture this hrious moment so we can tease himter.”


    Zack wiped away his tears and red at Abigail, “Abigail, do you have no conscience?”


    Abigail said. “I’ve just never seen you cry. If we don’t record this precious moment, I’ll definitely regret it


    later.”


    Zack was speechless.


    Cornelia alsoughed at their antics and said, “Both of you, sit down and let me exin properly.”


    After venting out all his frustration, Zack felt much better. He and Abigail sat down beside Cornelia’s


    bed, “Alright, shoot.”


    Cornelia told them everything she knew.


    After hearing it all, Zack said, “I want to have a word with Jeremy alone, is that okay?”


    Cornelia said, “His health isn’t great. You can’t bully him.”


    Zack said, “Are you kidding me? Even if he’s sick, he’s still Marcus. How could I bully him?”


    Cornelia said, “Anyway, be gentle when you talk to him. If he doesn’t want to talk about something,


    don’t push. In general, take care of him.”


    Zack was almost driven mad by Cornelia, “All you do is protect him.”


    Cornelia said, “He’s the father of my baby. If I don’t protect him, who will?”


    Zack said, “Fine, protect him all you want. If he makes you sad again, I’m not helping you anymore.”


    Even though he said that, Zack would never leave Cornelia hanging if she needed him.


    After getting Cornelia’s permission, Zack met Jeremy. Originally, he had prepared a whole bunch of


    criticisms for Jeremy, nning to give him a good lesson for Cornelia’s sake. But when he faced


    Jeremy, even though the guy didn’t do anything, Zack instantly felt defeated.


    Jeremy asked someone to pour him a ss of water and politely said, “Mr. Ruck, if you have


    something to say, just say it.”


    Zack noticed his left hand hanging in the air, and couldn’t help but ask with concern, “How’s your


    health?”


    Jeremy answered, “Thanks for your concern. I’m not in any serious condition now.”


    Seeing that he didn’t want to borate, Zack didn’t push further. He paused for a moment, then said,


    “Nelly told me, you didn’t betray her.”


    Jeremy answered, “Hmm.”


    Zack continued, “I told you before, Nelly is a sweet, innocent girl. When she married you, she chose


    you, and no matter if the road ahead is stormy or sunny, she’s willing to go through it with you. You


    shouldn’t think that pushing her away when you’re in trouble is the best way to protect her.”

    Jeremy answered, “I’ll remember that.”
