After he finished his meal, he began to serve food onto her plate, "If there's something you want to eat, let me know. I'll get it for you."
Cornelia realized something, "Are you tasting my food for me? Are you worried that Zavier might poison it?"
Zavier was a madman. He could do anything without shocking anyone. Marcus wasn't afraid of him, but he didn't want Cornelia in danger.
Marcus handed Cornelia more food, "Eat up, don't overthink."
Cornelia lost her appetite. She looked at him, her eyes welling up with tears, "If he really did poison the food and you ate it, have you thought about what would happen to you?"
Marcus replied, "Aren't I fine right now?"
Cornelia said, "Jeremy, you can't do this anymore."
Marcus patted her head, "Alright."
Maybe there was no future for him and her anymore. In the future, even getting a glimpse of her might be a luxury.
Cornelia said, "When Zavier asks you for a drink later, be careful. Don't drink too much, it's bad for your stomach."
Marcus replied, "Sure."
"Cornelia." Skyler's clear and loud voice came from behind Cornelia.
Cornelia immediately turned around and saw Skyler, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. She immediately ran to Skyler and hugged her tightly, "Skyler, I'm so glad to see you again!"
Skyler hugged Cornelia back tightly, smelling her neck, "It feels so good to hug you again!"
Cornelia said, "Me too."
Skyler let go of Cornelia and looked at her up and down, "Cornelia, you look thinner than the last time I saw you. Your complexion is not good either. Has President Hartley been treating you badly?"
Cornelia said, "President Hartley has been good to me. Something happened at home."
