"Marcus, I'm begging you! Please, save my granny!" Cornelia clung to Marcus, gripping him so tightly her fingers were contorting.
At this moment, Marcus was her lifeline, her buoy in the raging sea. She believed that if he wanted to, he could surely bring Granny Rebecca back from the brink.
Marcus wanted to save Granny Rebecca too, but even with all his wealth and power, he was just as helpless as anyone else when it came to life and death.
"Cornelia..." He held her waist, repeating her name over and over again, hoping to bring her back to her senses, but to no avail.
Dr. Lester was also there, "Marc, Cornelia is in a dangerous state. We need to give her a sedative right away to calm her down, or the consequences could be serious."
Marcus ordered, "Watch the dosage. Don't harm her."
"Don't worry, I'll just let her sleep for a while. She'll be fine when she wakes up." With Marcus' permission, Dr. Lester promptly administered a sedative to Cornelia.
The drug took effect quickly, and Cornelia gradually calmed down. Moments later, her eyes closed and she collapsed into Marcus' arms.
After carrying her to her bedroom on the third floor, Marcus went downstairs to deal with Granny Rebecca's affairs...
Granny Luisa's eyes were red, and she was in a terrible state. As soon as she saw Marcus, tears began flowing again, "Marc, Marc, what about Nelly..."
