Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1135

Jayden turned to Ben, "Did President Hartley send you?"

Ben retorted, "What else?"

Jayden asked again, "So, President Hartley predicted that Cornelia would call you if she couldn't reach him. He really cares about her. But why did he keep it from Cornelia? Do you know why?"

"How would I know what President Hartley is thinking?" Ben looked up at the light on the ER door, "Is he in bad shape?"

If it wasn't that bad, Ben guessed Marcus wouldn't have told him the truth, let alone have him rush to the Capital to deceive Cornelia with them.

Jayden said, "I'm not sure about the specifics. But Dr. Lester has contacted top doctors both domestically and internationally. I believe they will find a way to treat President Hartley."

Ben didn't know how serious Marcus was, but he firmly believed Marcus would wake up, "Cornelia is smart. She will call again after a while. If President Hartley still hasn't woken up by then, we won’t be able to keep it a secret. We need to think of a plan in advance. We can't let President Hartley's strategy fail."

Jayden said, "Let's discuss this after Dr. Lester is done."

Ben replied, "We have no other choice."

After ending the call, Cornelia was staring at her phone, not blinking. A moment later, Grandpa Augustine's kind voice reached her , "Nelly, didn't you like the food tonight?"

There were only Steven, Hannah, Lucas, Rosie, and Cornelia at the table, a total of five people. They left after eating a bit, and Cornelia didn't eat at all. But it wasn't because of the food, but because Cornelia was not in the mood, "Grandpa Augustine, the food is great, just that I don't have an appetite tonight."

Grandpa Augustine sat down next to Cornelia, speaking earnestly, "You're missing Marc after he's just been gone a little while?"

Cornelia replied, "Grandpa Augustine, it's not what you think."
