Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1396

He could hardly believe his own eyes when he woke up and realized it was already afternoon. He had a good sleep and his spirits were much uplifted. Dr. Lester was thrilled to see Marc looking so refreshed, "Cornelia, Marc looks so much better today, all thanks to you."

Cornelia modestly replied, "Dr. Lester, you've taken good care of him too."

Patricia also chimed in, "Cornelia's contribution is significant, but Dr. Lester also did a great job. You both are heroes."

Dr. Lester said, "Let's not argue over who contributed the most. Marc, come with me for a checkup."

"Sure," Jeremy handed Hope back to Cornelia. "I'll be right back. Patricia, stay here with Cornelia and Hope."

Cornelia said, "Don't worry, just go and handle your matters."

Just as Jeremy and Dr. Lester left, an unexpected visitor showed up in Cornelia's room. Patricia recognized him as the man who had always been trying to get close to Cornelia. His appearance set off alarm bells for Patricia. She watched the newcomer like a hawk, fearing he would sneak away with Cornelia and Hope. But the man acted as if nothing was wrong, pulled up a chair and sat down by Cornelia's bedside, "Heard you had the baby, so thought I'd come and see you."

Cornelia said, "Thanks."

He glanced at Patricia before saying to Cornelia, "I'd like to have a word with you alone. Can I ask Patricia to step outside for a moment?"

Before Cornelia could respond, Patricia was already up in arms, "Mr. Jarvis, what you have to say that I can't hear?" Patricia knew Jarvis was trying to get rid of her and she was having none of it.

Jarvis smiled, "Well, what I have to say to Cornelia is indeed not for your ears."
