Cornelia was still a bit on edge, "I need to wait for Natalia to wake up. If she wakes up not knowing where she is, she'd surely freak out."
Marcus said seriously, "I’ll have someone take care of her. You need to rest first."
Because of Marcus's firm attitude, Cornelia had no choice but to take his advice. She drank some glucose water and went back to her room to rest.
Not having slept for two straight nights, as soon as she laid down, Cornelia fell asleep almost immediately. But her sleep was anything but peaceful.
She dreamt of her grandma again. In the dream, her grandma was wearing reading glasses, needle in one hand and thread in the other, trying to thread the needle. But her hand was shaking so badly that she just couldn't do it.
Cornelia moved closer to her grandma and said, "Grandma, let me thread the needle for you."
But it was like her grandma couldn't hear her at all. She rearranged the thread and tried to thread the needle again, but her hand was shaking even more.
Looking helpless, her grandma looked up and said, "Hawthorne, my hands are shaking too much, can you come help me thread the needle?"
Following her grandma's gaze, Cornelia saw her dear father. Her father smiled at her grandma and said, "Mom, just give me a minute. I need to help Clair turn over."
Cornelia noticed a woman laying next to her father. She tried hard to see the woman's face clearly, but no matter what, she just couldn't.
The woman's stomach was very big.
