Ugh, he thought that by not visiting her, no one would notice how worried he was about her?
When Dr. Dawson arrived yesterday, Cornelia felt dizzy and leaned against her in a faint. Dr. Dawson quickly gave her medication to help her feel better.
But this girl Cornelia was super guarded. Even when she was unconscious, she was still clenching her teeth tight, and there was no way to get the antidote into her mouth.
It wasn't until Marcus kept calling her name softly that she finally loosened her jaw.
At this moment, Dr. Dawson couldn't help but shiver when he recalled the look in Marcus's eyes as he saw the scars on Cornelia's arm.
Dr. Dawson had been with Marcus for so many years. She had seen him stay calm and collected even when he was almost killed in an ambush. But she had never seen him like this before.
"Dr. Dawson, where am I?" Cornelia finally realized that she was in a completely unfamiliar room. It was huge but sparsely furnished, and it didn't look like anyone lived there regularly.
Dr. Dawson replied, "This is another house Marc has in Blueshell Mansion."
"Is President Hartley at the office?" Cornelia remembered that today was Tuesday. "Crap, I still have to go with him to sign a contract."
Cornelia wanted to get out of bed, but Dr. Dawson held her down, "It's already nighttime. What contract are you going to sign? Just focus on getting better, and we'll deal with everything else later."
Cornelia didn't want to be a burden and stubbornly said, "I'm fine, really."
"You wanna try getting up and jumping around a bit to see how fine you are?" Dr. Dawson was getting a headache with this stubborn girl. "Let me take a look at your arm first."
Dr. Dawson had already treated Cornelia's arm last night, and since she was young and had a fast metabolism, the wound had already scabbed over. "I'll give you another tube of this medicine. Remember to apply it every day so you don't end up with a scar." Dr. Dawson said.
Cornelia nodded, "Okay."
Dr. Dawson packed up the medicine box, "Alright, I'll go prepare some food. You can wash up and then come out and eat."
