After parking in the hospital lot, she sat quietly in her car, replaying the past year she spent with Marcus in her head.
To her, Marcus was an excellent superior. He respected and protected his team, and treated them well.
She also respected and supported him. If he was in danger, she'd risk her own life to save him. But she never imagined that he was Jeremy, her husband...
After sitting for a while, Cornelia took a deep breath and got out of the car to head towards the inpatient department.
Visiting hours were long over, but this hospital was owned by the Hartley Group. Getting permission to visit was a breeze.
From a distance, Cornelia spotted Dr. Dawson waiting for her at the entrance.
She picked up the pace towards Dr. Dawson, "Evening, Dr. Dawson."
"Marc's condition isn't great. He really shouldn't be seeing anyone. He made an exception for you, but try not to stay long," Dr. Dawson said with a rather unfriendly tone.
"Did I do something wrong, Dr. Dawson?" Cornelia asked.
"What do you mean?" Dr. Dawson paused for a moment and said.
"I feel like you've changed recently. You're not the Dr. Dawson I knew. It's almost like you have a beef with me."
Some people were sneaky and can be dealt with. But the real tough ones were the straight shooters like Cornelia. She said what was on her mind, and was so upfront that it left people speechless.
Dr. Dawson looked a bit awkward, "Perhaps I've been on edge because of Marc's illness. My tone was off, I apologize."
"We all work for President Hartley. We should respect and get along with each other. Only by doing so can we work better for him. Don't you think?"
