Cornelia asked, "I got a feeling he's mad at me?"
Dr. Lester replied, "How can that be?"
Cornelia was unsure if he would take her advice, but she still wanted to give it a shot. His well-being was the top priority at the moment. "Let me try to talk to him." Cornelia said.
So moved, Dr. Lester grabbed Cornelia's hand tightly, and exclaimed, "Cornelia, you're a real lifesaver."
Cornelia gently pulled her hand back, "Dr. Lester, you are welcome."
"Nelly, Nelly!" Patricia hurried toward Cornelia, her face full of a gentle smile, "I learned a new recipe, would you taste it for me tonight?"
Cornelia responded with a brilliant smile, "Sure."
Patricia took her hand and led her toward the house, "Come, let's go inside. Tell me what you'd like to eat or drink and I'll whip it up in a jiffy. You can also give me a ring before you come next time. Let me know what you fancy and I'll have it ready."
Dr. Lester wasn't pleased, "Patricia, don't just focus on food and drinks. Let Cornelia speak to Marc first."
"What happened to Marc?" Patricia was so focused on Cornelia that she didn't notice Marcus's unusual behavior. As soon as she heard that Cornelia was here, she rushed over.
Dr. Lester said, "Marc's health is deteriorating and he's not cooperating with the treatment. If this continues, his life may be in danger. I hope Cornelia can help talk to him."
Patricia agreed, "Alright, Nelly, you go speak to Marc first. I'll prepare some fruit and snacks to bring up."
Cornelia felt a bit of pressure, "Patricia, prepare some fruits. I'll bring it up to him. He wanted me to look after him for $500 a day. I can't just do nothing, right?"
Patricia was stunned.
$500 a day! What the heck was Marc up to?
