Briana was pissed off, "Why can't he call Cornelia back? She's his wife. He might be caught up with stuff, but what's more important than his wife?"
Dr. Dawson replied, "Marc is in the hospital. He's not well."
Briana was shocked, "What happened to my brother? Is it serious?"
Knowing Marc, he would've definitely called Cornelia back if it wasn't serious.
"He's in a coma right now," Dr. Dawson replied.
Upon hearing this, Briana was anxious, "I'll go explain to Cornelia. Which hospital are you in? I'm coming now."
"No need for you to come. I'm here with Marc. And don't tell Cornelia, Marc doesn't want her to know," said Dr. Dawson.
This made Briana even more furious, "My brother is lying unconscious and you didn't inform us. I didn't blame you for that. Now I want to see him, and you're stopping me? Do you think you're closer to him? Let me tell you, Cornelia is the closest person to my brother. They're legally married, and no matter what happens, you should tell her."
Dr. Dawson replied coldly, "Now you remember that you're the closest ones to Marc? How many dangers has he faced these years, do you know? Who was with him when he was in danger, do you know? We were the ones who always stood by his side, protecting him!"
With that, Dr. Dawson hung up.
Briana, listening to the busy tone, felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint what. Now wasn't the time to ponder though. She needed to placate Cornelia and not let her worry.
So, she immediately called Cornelia back, "Cornelia, I just spoke to Jeremy's colleague. He told me Jeremy didn't reply because his phone was stolen and he hasn't had a chance to replace it yet."
