Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1339

Dr. Lester gripped Marcus's hand tightly, "Marc, I know Cornelia is here. Listen to me, your body is still healing, and it's not good for you to get too worked up. Can you try and chill out a bit?"

"Okay, I'll chill." Jeremy tried to calm himself, but the sight of that beautiful face on the screen made it impossible for him to stay cool. He started coughing violently again, as if he wanted to cough his guts out.

Dr. Lester was very worried, "Marc, do you even want to see Cornelia again? Let me tell you, if anything happens to you, who'll look after her and your kid? Do you really think another man could love her child like you do? If people start mocking your child for not having a father, who's going to protect her then?"

Mentioning this, Jeremy, who had been so agitated, instantly cooled down.

Dr. Lester quickly handed him some medicine, "You should take this first."

Jeremy didn't want to take it, but thinking of his wife and child, he swallowed it in one go.

Seeing him obediently take the medicine, Dr. Lester finally felt satisfied. He also saw the beautiful face on the computer, "Cornelia looks more and more beautiful. Especially her face, her skin is as smooth as a freshly peeled boiled egg."

Jeremy just finished coughing, his voice still seemed a bit weak, "Cornelia has always been beautiful. She's the most beautiful girl in the world."

Dr. Lester said, "She is beautiful, that's why there are so many men chasing her, especially Jarvis. That guy is handsome, wealthy, in shape, and most importantly he's always been in love with Cornelia, he's head over heels for her. So you need to get your act together, recover as soon as possible, and win Cornelia back. You can't let another man beat you to the punch."

Dr. Lester's intention was to motivate Jeremy, but to his surprise, Jeremy said, "As long as he treats her and the child well, I'm willing to step aside."

Dr. Lester was speechless. This was something the old Marcus would never say, and a thought he would never have.

Dr. Lester added, "You used to say that if you love someone, you want to make her happy yourself. Now you want her to be with someone else?"

Jeremy stared intently at Cornelia on the screen, "Don't disturb me. Let me be alone with Cornelia for a while."

Jeremy was avoiding the issue, but Dr. Lester wanted him to face it, "Marc, I know you love Cornelia, you feel that as long as she's happy, you're satisfied. But have you ever asked her, or even thought from her perspective, about what she really wants? If Cornelia wanted to be with Jarvis, why has she been refusing him so steadfastly after months of his pursuit? Even though she never says it, we all know that you're the only one in her heart. A few months ago, she was vomiting no matter what she ate, and she became skin and bones. You asked Dr. Terrel to treat Cornelia, and after seeing her, he told you the reason for her constant vomiting. She's always been very strong. It was only after she believed the lies Granny Luisa and Tahlia told her over the phone that she fell apart. Do you know what this means? It means you're more important to her than you think, and it shows how much she used to love you."

Jeremy said, "I just don't want her to care about me that much. I want her to hate me, not love me. Now my wish is simple, I just want to protect her and the child silently from afar."

Before, he didn't know if he could survive, he didn't dare to risk keeping her by his side, and had to push Cornelia away harshly. Only God knows how painful it was for him to put on a show, trying to drive her away.

When Cornelia's grandmother died, he saw firsthand how devastated Cornelia was, and her inner guilt and despair. He didn't dare to think about what would happen to Cornelia if he also left.
