Chapter 66 

They didn’t know how long it had been, but it felt like a century had passed when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ayden rushed in, President Hartley 

Following him was Dr Dawson 

Check on Cornelia first Marcus’s voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been scorched 

Di Dawson hurriedly took out two pills from her medical kit, Take these first.” 

Dr. Dawson was Marcus’s personal doctor and her medical kit was stocked with various precious medicines

She also carried the antidote for this kind of sedative, just in case Marcus was ever framed

Then, she walked over to Cornelia and was shocked by the numerous scratches on her body. Cornelia, how could you do this to yourself?” 

Dr. Dawson, you’re finally hereCornelia said with a smile before passing out in Dr. Dawson’s arms

They didn’t know she could only regain a little sanity through selfharm to prevent herself from falling into an abyss again

Cornelia had a long nightmare in which she was tied to a stake and roasted while people around her pointed and mocked her, calling her cheap and shameless

I’m not like that!she roared and screamed, but no one paid her any attention

In the blink of an eye, the stake turned into a cliff 

Familiar faces threw stones at her, yelling. You slut, go to hell!” 

Cornelia dodged the stones and slipped, falling once again into the abyss in her dream

Cornelia, wake up, you’re having a nightmare Amidst the insults, a gentle female voice called her name

The unfamiliar yet gentle voice woke Cornelia from her nightmare. Startled, she mumbled, Mom?” 

Dr. Dawson stroked her head, saying softly. Silly girl, if you miss your mom, just take a break and go home. Don’t suppress your feelings.” 

Dr. Dawson, it’s youCornelia immediately put on a standard smile, not wanting to mention her dream or her mother

Since Cornelia didn’t want to talk about it, Dr. Dawson didn’t ask further. She took a potion from her medical kit, You haven’t eaten in a day, drink this first

Cornelia only remembered being locked in a small room with Marcus, then everything went blank, Have I been asleep this long?” 

Dr. Dawson watched her drink the glucose, then rubbed her head again, Yes, how do you feel now?” 

Probably just weak from not eating, but everything else is fine.Cornelia thought of Marcus, What about President Hartley? Is he okay?” 

He’s fine, don’t worry Dr. Dawson said reassuringly, but thought, “With that kind of nasty drug, no one would come out unharmed!” 

But Marcus had instructed her not to tell Cornelia

The person who drugged them was ruthless, using ten times the normal dose. Dr. Dawson’s homemade antidote couldn’t completely neutralize the effects. The only way was to take her specially formulated medication and then receive a sedative injection, sleeping for an entire day

But Marcus would rather take multiple cold showers than be sedated. He said he was too busy and couldn’t sleep that long

He had many subordinates and not every issue required his personal attention. He could sleep for a day without causing any delays, but he was stubborn

It wasn’t until Marcus asked about Cornelia’s condition again that Dr. Dawson realized the reason that he insisted to stay awake was probably Cornelia

He worried about her, but didn’t want to come over and visit her
