When Marcus heard that Granny Rebecca had fallen into a coma, one of the main reasons being that she was poisoned, he immediately started to investigate.
He quickly sussed out who had poisoned her - it was indeed someone he had arranged to be by Granny Rebecca's side.
The culprit confessed that she had no choice but to poison Granny Rebecca as her family was held hostage and she was under severe threat.
Marcus knew instantly who was behind this.
At that moment, various images of Cornelia's possible reactions upon finding out about Granny Rebecca's poisoning flashed through his mind. He envisioned her blaming him, getting angry with him, and even cutting ties with him...
He thought of a million possibilities but never imagined that Cornelia would run over to him, hugging him, telling him that it wasn't his fault. She was always so kind and considerate, like a little sun lighting up his world, bringing him warmth.
Cornelia didn't know how stirred Marcus was inside. She looked at him and continued, "The person who did it is not you. Even if he is your father by blood, you shouldn't bear the blame for his actions."
Marcus was overwhelmed with emotions. It took all his self-discipline not to pull her into his arms and kiss her. "If..."
Before he could finish, Cornelia interrupted, "No ifs. We’ll face it together."
Marcus felt his heart pounding uncontrollably. "Cornelia..."
She looked at him with bright eyes, "Now, can you tell me how that person might come at you?"
