"Ayden, thanks a bunch!" If he hadn't shown up just in time, Cornelia felt like she might've been in big trouble.
Ayden didn't pay her any mind and vanished into the night.
After Ayden left, Cornelia still needed to continue shopping.
She walked cautiously, scared of running into another stray dog.
Luckily, she didn't encounter any more danger and managed to buy the products she needed, then made it back to the hotel safely.
When Cornelia returned to the hotel, she saw Dr. Dawson waiting by her door, seemingly for quite some time.
She remembered that Dr. Dawson hadn't come with them, but now he was here too.
The mother and son duo were like two peas in a pod.
Dr. Dawson said with a smile, "Marc was worried about your injury and asked me to come check on you."
Cornelia invited Dr. Dawson into her room, "Sorry to trouble you again, Dr. Dawson."
As Dr. Dawson carefully examined Cornelia's wound, he said, "You were really quick on your feet this time, saving Marc. If he'd been hurt, the consequences could've been severe. From now on, don't be shy with me. If you want me or my son to do something, just say the word."
Cornelia asked, "Dr. Dawson, when did you guys get here?"
When Dr. Dawson first met Cornelia, she thought she was a great girl, and she even saved Marcus. So, she didn't treat her like an outsider at all, "Our mission is to serve Marc. Wherever he goes, we follow."
Cornelia understood that they had been with Marcus all along, just out of sight.
