Cornelia was in such excruciating pain that her face turned pale and her body convulsed violently, sending Hannah into a panic.
"Nelly, Nelly, what's wrong with you?" Hannah asked.
Cornelia curled her body, tears dropping like a waterfall that wouldn't stop, quickly drenching her cheeks.
"It hurts, it hurts so much." Cornelia said.
Hannah asked, "Where does it hurt? I'm calling an ambulance."
Cornelia lifted her hand, placing it over her heart, "Here."
Seeing this, Hannah cancelled the emergency call she was just about to make, then picked up Cornelia's phone, "You silly goose, don't just bear the pain alone, let him know. I'll call Marcus for you right now."
Cornelia shook her head, "No. I've said it before. We're over, and I've said we should never contact each other again. I don't want to be that woman who can't let go, the one frowned upon."
Hannah said, "I'm not asking you to beg him to get back together. You need to tell him that you once loved him deeply, and he's the one who lost you."
"No." Intense pain seemed to want to devour Cornelia, but more than the pain, the inexplicable panic rising from the bottom of her heart scared her more. It was as if she was about to lose something very important in her life.
Hannah didn't know about the panic in Cornelia's heart. She picked up Cornelia's phone, slid it, then scanned it over Cornelia's face, and the phone was immediately unlocked. After unlocking, Hannah wanted to find Marcus's number from the contacts, but there were only a few familiar numbers in Cornelia's contacts.
Marcus's wasn't there at all.
Hannah took out her own phone, found Marcus's number, and used Cornelia's phone to dial, but the screen showed it couldn't be dialed.
