Chapter 1396

He could hardly believe his own eyes when he woke up and realized it was already afternoon. He had a good sleep and his spirits were much uplifted. Dr. Lester was thrilled to see Marc looking so refreshed, “Cornelia, Marc looks so much better today, all thanks to you?

Cornelia modestly replied, Dr. Lester, you’ve taken good care of him too”

Patricia also chimed in. Cornelia’s contribution is significant, but Dr. Lester also did a great job You both are heroes”

Dr. Lester said, ‘Let’s not argue over who contributed the most. Marc, come with me for a checkup”

“Sure,” Jeremy handed Hope back to Cornelia. Tll be right back. Patricia, stay here with Cornelia and Hope”

Cornelia said, “Don’t worry, just go and handle your matters”

Just as Jeremy and Dr. Lester left, an unexpected visitor showed up in Cornelias room. Patricia recognized him as the man who had always been trying to get close to Cornelia. His appearance set off alarm bells for Patricia She watched the newcomer like a hawk, fearing he would sneak away with Cornelia and Hope. But the man acted as if nothing was wrong, pulled up a chair and sat down by Cornelia’s bedside, “Heard you had the baby, so thought I’d come and see you”

Cornelia said, “Tharks.”

He glanced at Patricia before saying to Cornelia, T’d like to have a word with you alone. Can I ask Patricia to step outside for a moment?”

Before Cornelia could respond, Patricia was already up in arms, “Mr. Jarvis, what you have to say that I cant hear?” Patricia knew Jarvis was trying to get rid of her and she was having none of it.

Jarvis smiled, “Well, what I have to say to Cornelia is indeed not for your ears.”

Patricia said, “You Nelly, Marc asked me to stay here with you and Hope. You can’t ask me to leave.”

Cornelia smiled. ‘Patricia, it’s okay. Why don’t you take Hope to the living room?”

“But…”Patricia was reluctant to leave but didn’t want to make Cornelia uncomfortable. She left, glancing back every step of the way, fearing that Cornelia might be whisked away by Jarvis in a blink of an eye.

Although Patricia was gone, her gaze never left She pretended to care for the baby while keeping a watchful eye on the room through the window.

Cornelia said to Jarvis, “Patricia is gone now. What do you want to say?”

Jarvis looked at her seriously, 1 once proposed that you consider letting me be the father of your child. Now that the baby is born, have you given it any thought?”

Cornelia said in surprise. “Didn’t I refuse you?”

If she remembered correctly, she had clearly refused him when he brought this up. Why was he bringing it up again? Good thing Jeremy was off for his checkup, otherwise, he would be furious hearing this.

Jarvis said, “You did reject me, but what difference does it make? I hope you can reconsider me. After all, I am a very good choice”

Before he could finish, a cold voice interrupted from behind, “Did you think i was dead?”

Jarvis turned to meet Jeremy’s fierce gaze. He gave a slight smile, “What’s the difference between you being dead and not being here? Where were you when Cornelia was pregnant? Where were you when she had to go for prenatal check-ups? These past months, she’s been working her ass off till two or three in the morning. Where were you?”

Before Jeremy could respond, Cornelia jumped in, “He’s in my heart.”
