Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 352

Briana chuckled, "We don't have to be stiff and serious all the time, you know. She's your wife, not some random woman. What's the big deal in helping her change into her nightgown?"

"Just because Cornelia is my wife doesn't mean I can take liberties when she's unconscious," Marcus explained, turning to shut the window. "You help her change, and stay here with her. Don't leave."

By the time Marcus came back upstairs, Briana had already changed Cornelia into her nightgown. Briana was nodding off by the side of Cornelia's bed, her head slowly drooping down.

Marcus gave her a gentle nudge, "You can go to sleep now."

"I have to wake up early tomorrow," Briana got up, rubbing her eyes and headed out. She bumped into the door frame on her way out, making Marcus shake his head in disbelief.

His wife, Cornelia, was only slightly older than Briana, but she was much more mature and sensible.

Marcus sat quietly by the bed, just watching her.

He wasn't even sure why, but just watching Cornelia made him feel calm. It felt like he'd taken a chill pill. He'd never had this kind of strange yet incredibly enjoyable experience before.

"Grandma," Cornelia suddenly wept in her sleep, murmuring, "You have to get better. You can't leave me. If even you don't want me, I'll be all alone."

Even though this wasn't the first time he'd seen Cornelia so distressed in her sleep, it still broke Marcus' heart.

He slid into bed next to her, pulling her into his arms and gently patting her back like you would with a child. "Don't be scared. Grandma will get better. She won't leave you. And don't forget, you have me. I'll always be with you."

"Grandma, you have to keep your promise," her furrowed brow slowly relaxed and her face gradually regained its calmness.

"Alright. Grandma promises," he agreed. Last time she had fainted, she had called him “Dad,” and now she was calling him “Grandma.” No telling what she'd call him next time.
