Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1168

Cornelia texted: [Get your stuff together when you talk to me. You feel distant, like you're not chatting with your wife, but with just some run-of-the-mill friend.]

Seeing the message, Ben, who was impersonating Marcus, got so scared his hands started shaking. He almost dropped his phone. Frantically, he handed his phone to Dr. Lester, "I told you guys Cornelia is sharp. She easily spots things out of place. You didn't believe me. What do I do now? How do I reply?"

Dr. Lester replied, "She didn't straight up say you're not Marcus. What's there to be afraid of?"

Ben said, "Then you reply to her."

Dr. Lester said, "Fine, I will."

He quickly typed out a message on the phone.

[I don't mean to ignore you, I'm just busy with something. You rest first. I'll contact you when I'm done. Good night!]

After sending the message, Dr. Lester tossed the phone, "Problem solved."

Ben asked, "How exactly did you solve it?"

Dr. Lester replied, "Just wished her a good night!"

Ben was speechless.

Dr. Lester continued, "Marcus has been out cold for hours, we have no idea when he'll wake up. If Cornelia decides to call next time, we might not be able to keep up the charade."

Ben said, "Whatever will be, will be. Marcus will be fine."

Dr. Lester didn't say anything more. He knew that no matter what he said, Ben wouldn't understand the severity of Marcus' condition.

......

Unable to sleep after the chat with Marcus, Cornelia texted Tahlia: [Tahlia, I've got something important to tell you.]
