Hearing Cornelia's stern words, Dr. Dawson sobered up a bit, "Cornelia, I'm not blaming you. I'm just worried if Marc continues like this, his stomach ailment will only get worse. I hope you can try to persuade him in the future."
Inside, Cornelia was actually feeling a bit guilt-ridden because it was indeed her lack of intervention that led to Marcus eating all those foods he usually wouldn't touch, "I'll be more careful in the future."
Dr. Dawson said, "Thank you."
After a moment of silence, Cornelia said, "Actually, there's one way to keep Marcus in line and stop him from eating the wrong things."
Dr. Dawson asked, "What's that?"
Cornelia said, "Have his wife persuade him. He cares a lot about her. If she says something, he'll definitely listen."
Dr. Dawson said, "Then please do your best to persuade him."
Cornelia was speechless.
And so the conversation ended.
Throughout the journey, everyone was quiet until they arrived at Riverton. As the plane landed, Dr. Dawson went back into the cabin.
Once the plane had come to a halt, Marcus and Dr. Dawson emerged. Cornelia immediately looked towards Marcus, "President Hartley, are you feeling better?"
"Why would there be something wrong with me?" Marcus glared at Dr. Dawson, clearly blaming her for poking her nose into his business.
Dr. Dawson explained, "I was just hoping Cornelia could persuade you, to take better care of yourself."
Then, she whispered, "You're not single anymore. You have a wife. You may neglect your health, but do you really want to make her a widow at such a young age?"
Cornelia felt a chill hearing this.
