Cornelia had a lot to say in her heart, she says whatever came to her mind, "You actually didn't have to come down the mountain tonight. Why take the risk?"
"Because I can't let you take the risk alone." Marcus wanted to say, but swallowed the words, "You know I used to be a race car driver."
"Thank you!" Cornelia was so grateful that she didn't know what else to say besides thank you.
She looked back at Dr. Dawson, who gave her a reassuring glance, "Skyler is already asleep. She's fine."
"Dr. Dawson, thank you too!" When Skyler was in danger, Cornelia thought of Marcus first because she knew wherever Marcus went, Dr. Dawson would follow.
Luckily, Dr. Dawson was really there tonight, or else it's hard to say whether Skyler could have woken up.
The way down the mountain was tough, and it took twice as long as usual to get down. Fortunately, they still managed to get Skyler to the hospital safely.
The surgery wasn't major, and Cornelia could have rested during the operation, but she insisted on staying outside the operating room, not wanting to leave for a second.
She was waiting, and Marcus kept her company while waiting.
After the surgery, Skyler needed to stay in the hospital for observation overnight.
Lying in bed with an IV drip, Cornelia rubbed Skyler's head, "Skyler, President Hartley has agreed to help me get you out of Zavier. Tomorrow, you can come with us to Riverton."
"Can I trust him?" Marcus was Zavier's good friend, and they had known each other since college. Skyler didn't believe Marcus would sincerely help her.
