Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 553

"The sound of a man's voice echoed behind Cornelia, 'President Hartley didn't suffer any trouble after you left. It was actually when you were here that he experienced many things his body couldn't bear.'

"So, are you blaming me?" Cornelia turned sharply to look at Ayden, her gaze piercing, "Don't try to push all the problems onto me."

If she had really done something wrong, it was that she shouldn't have come to Marcus seeking the truth. If she pretended to know nothing, then there wouldn't be any problems.

Ayden completely ignored her and said, "President Hartley lay in the ICU for two days, and only stabilized tonight. He just woke up not long ago, and you came. You didn't notice that he wasn't feeling well because President Hartley knew you were coming, so he had someone put on makeup to not worry you. You just quarreled with him and even hit him, which may have hurt him. Most importantly, you said some things that made him feel sad..."

Every word Ayden said seemed to be blaming Cornelia, as if everything that happened to Marcus in the ICU was all her fault.

It was like many years ago when her father died in the car accident, and many people blamed her, saying that she brought bad luck and that her existence led to her parents' divorce and her mother's misfortune.

Those voices said that if it weren't for her, her mother wouldn't have left Rosenberg, and her father wouldn't have died in the car accident...

At that time, she was still young and couldn't judge right from wrong. She believed those lies, and now every time she thought about it, she still blamed herself.

Only her grandmother told her more than once that everyone's life was their own choice, her mother leaving was her mother's choice, her father's car accident was fate's arrangement, and those things had nothing to do with her...

It was her grandmother's gentle voice that helped Cornelia, who was deeply immersed in self-blame, find herself again.
