Dr. Lester looked back at Granny Luisa, then at Marcus who lay on the bed unresponsive. "Granny Luisa, don't fret. Even though Marcus hasn't woken up yet, his vitals are stable." Dr. Lester said.
Hearing that Marcus' vitals were stable, Granny Luisa felt somewhat relieved.
Granny Luisa stepped into the room, her gaze falling on Marcus.
She said, "Marcus told me that Cornelia had found some clues and asked me to dash to the Capital to help him out immediately. I did as he wished, but I'm wondering, are we really minimizing the damage to Cornelia by doing this?"
Seeing the disappointed look on Cornelia's face, Granny Luisa realized she might have messed up. She was on the verge of spilling the beans to Cornelia, nearly brought her to see Marcus. But in the end, Granny Luisa decided to stick with Marcus' plan.
They had kept Cornelia in the dark for so long, they couldn't let their efforts go down the drain now.
Dr. Lester said, "I've tried to talk some sense into Marcus, but look at him now. His biggest fear is Cornelia seeing him in this state."
"Poor Cornelia." Granny Luisa sat by the bed, clasping Marcus' hand, "Marcus, Cornelia came looking for you just now, did you know?"
Marcus didn't respond to her. Granny Luisa squeezed his hand, "Cornelia is a smart girl. Zavier spoke to her today, probably spilled some beans she didn't know before. I guess she must know the real reason why you divorced her now. Cornelia is really upset. You need to wake up soon. We're all waiting for your guidance on how to comfort her. Marcus, please wake up soon. If you don't, what will happen to Cornelia and the baby?"
Granny Luisa wiped her tears away and continued, "You might not care about me. I'm already old, but you must think about your wife and child."
Regardless of what Granny Luisa said, Marcus showed no sign of waking up.
...
Cornelia returned to the Duran family, running into the butler who was looking for her.
