Chapter 188 

But today, he was truly terrified

When he heard through a phone call that Cornelia was in trouble, when he didn’t know who had taken her, when he couldn’t find her, an unprecedented panic soaked into his guts like poison, making him feel the suffocation of nearing death 

Cornelia, he croaked, tightening his grip around her, Trust me, I won’t let anyone hurt you again.” 

Marc, we’re here Dr. Dawson called out No response, so she continued, Marc, we’re at the hospital, let’s get Cornelia onto the stretcher.” 

The name Corneliajerked Marcus out of his thoughts, and he walked into the hospital carrying Cornelia 

The best doctors from all departments had gathered, all because Marcus had declared, 1f anything happens to her, you can all piss off.” 

The look in his eyes and tone of his voice as he spoke made everyone believe that if anything happened to Cornelia, they’d be out on their asses Some even thought Marcus might blow up the hospital 

Her blood was drawn, and the tests were run, all as quickly as possible, but results still took some time

During this time, Marcus stood by Cornelia’s bed, not taking a single step away

President Hartley, the test results are in,Dr. Dawson burst into the room, lab report in hand. The drug Eden gave Cornelia seems to be some kind of sedative, it can make people lose consciousness and forget everything after. If used excessively, it can even cause death. You got here just in time, Cornelia is safe now, she’s out of danger.” 

Dr. Dawson felt relieved, at least Cornelia was saved. But Marcus didn’t feel relieved at all

A good husband would never let his wife face such danger

You can leave now,” he said

As soon as Dr. Dawson left, Ayden came in President Hartley, Eden claimed it was because Cornelia took your assistant position, that’s why he held a grudge and wanted revenge. I’ve looked into it, the real reason is Eden pursued Cornelia and was rejected. He’s been giving Cornelia a hard time ever since, this assistant thing was just the spark.” 

He pursued Cornelia? He wishes Marcus scoffed. Continue to follow up on your side, and he must be severely punished by the law.” 

Understood,Ayden spoke again, Matt and Ryan from the Petersen family are here, do you want to see them?” 

Marcus didn’t speak any more.. Ayden understood and silently left the room

Meanwhile, far away in Calandria, Courtney received a phone call from Natalia Reese

She had just finished her yoga and was a bit tired, not really wanting to take the call. But considering it was midnight back home and Natalia never sleeps that late, she knew it must be urgent 

Sure enough, as soon as she picked up. Natalia said, “Courtney, I just heard from my brother, something big happened over at Marc’s.” 

Courtney took a sip of her lemonade before asking, What happened?” 

Natalia replied, Eden from the Petersen family kidnapped Marc’s wife in name. We don’t know the specifics, only that Marc is furious, he’s not even considering the whole Petersen family’s reputation 

The Petersen family’s reputation?Courtney chuckled, he didn’t even care about his own parentsreputation, let alone the Petersen family

Natalia continued Anyway, it’s serious, let me tell you, Courtney.” 

Got it. I’m a bit tired today, let’s talk more another time.” Courtney hung up the call, waved for Billy. Did that Eden guy you mentioned get anywhere?Billy responded, “Madam, I’ll try to find another way” 

Courtney asked, You’ve seen that woman. Tell me, how did a man like Marcus, who never shows emotion, get so enchanted by her?”
