Cornelia shook her head. "No, it's not your fault."
Granny Rebecca took a long pause after each sentence, but she still tried hard to express her thoughts, because she knew that if she didn't say it now, she wouldn't have the chance anymore.
"I know, you agreed to get married to put my mind at ease. But I want you to understand, I didn't want you to get married for my own peace of mind. I just hoped you could find someone to rely on, someone who could take care of you in my place.
“Marc is the grandson of my best friend, Luisa. When he was little, Luisa used to talk about him a lot. I trusted Luisa, and I believed her grandson must be a good kid, so I agreed to you two being together.
“I've always been very cautious about your marriage, I didn't want you to get married just to fulfill a task, I just wanted you to be happy. I wanted to see your child, not because I really wanted to see this baby, but because I was worried that after I left, you wouldn't be able to hang in there. If you had a child, you'd have something to hold on to.
“But now it's different, you have not only me, but also your husband, Granny Luisa, Briana, and Patricia. I'm at ease."
Upon hearing these words, Cornelia was already crying her eyes out. "No matter how good they are, or how much they love me, they can't replace you. If even you don't want me, how am I supposed to live?"
"No one can accompany anyone forever. I can't accompany you forever either, I just hope you can be happy." Before she could finish her words, she slowly closed her eyes.
She left this world forever, leaving her most cherished Nelly behind.
"Granny, don't go! I beg you, don't go!" Cornelia held Granny Rebecca's body and sobbed loudly.
"Granny, you said you wouldn't leave me! You said you'd help me take care of the baby! I'm already trying to have a baby. Your wish will soon be fulfilled. You can't leave me."
"Cornelia!" Marcus pulled Cornelia up and held her tightly in his arms. "Granny Rebecca is gone. You need to be strong."
"Marcus, you're Marcus, right?" Cornelia grabbed his hand like a madwoman. "You know a lot of powerful people. They can surely save my granny, right? I beg you, whatever you ask me to do, as long as you can bring my granny back."
Marcus said firmly, "Cornelia, Granny Rebecca is gone."
However, Cornelia's sanity had already collapsed. She wouldn't listen to anyone's persuasion. She screamed like a wild beast out of control, "I know you can save her, you must have a way. You're so powerful, and you can definitely save my granny. I beg you. Please save my granny..."
If she kept going like this, she would definitely lose her mind.
Having no other choice, Marcus called the doctor, "Inject her with a sedative, now!"
