Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1157

Cornelia's voice was soft and a bit innocent. Marcus heard it, but it took him a few seconds of silence before he whispered, "I miss you."

To Cornelia, this reply sounded like he was just going through the motions, as if he was reluctant. Just as Cornelia started feeling upset, Marcus' voice reached her ears again from the phone, "I really, really miss you!"

Cornelia, hearing this, was so happy that the corners of her mouth lifted up, revealing a bright smile, "I miss you too, so so so so much!"

She was telling him, her longing for him was double his, and her yearning for him was definitely much stronger than his for her.

Marcus' voice came again, this time with a hint of laughter, "Yeah, I know."

Cornelia whispered, "Don't always answer me with 'I know'. You need to respond to me."

Marcus responded, "Alright."

Cornelia said, "You have to take care of yourself. Don’t always be so immersed in your work that you forget to eat like before. It’s very cold over there, and you get cold easily, so you need to dress warmly and not catch a cold."

Before Cornelia could finish, she heard Marcus coughing. She immediately became worried, "Jeremy, did you not dress warmly and catch a cold? Is Dr. Lester with you? Give him the phone, let me talk to him."

Then, Cornelia heard Dr. Lester's voice, "Cornelia, you guessed right. Marc didn’t dress warmly, he even went out in the cold without proper clothing. This morning, he caught a cold and got a high fever, and the fever hasn’t subsided yet."

He continued, "You need to convince him to rest. He needs a good night's sleep; no work is as important as his health."
