Chapter 544 

After parking in the hospital lot she sat quietly in her car, replaying the past year she spent with Marcus in her head

To her, Marcus was an excellent superior. He respected and protected his team, and treated them well

She also respected and supported him if he was in danger, she’d risk her own life to save him. But she never imagined that he was Jeremy, her husband…. 

After sitting for a while, Cornelia took a deep breath and got out of the car to head towards the inpatient department

Visiting hours were long over, but this hospital was owned by the Hartley Group Getting permission to visit was a breeze

From a distance, Cornelia spotted Dr. Dawson waiting for her at the entrance

She picked up the pace towards Dr. Dawson, Evening, Dr. Dawson.” 

Marc’s condition isn’t great. He really shouldn’t be seeing anyone. He made an exception for you, but try not to stay long,” Dr. Dawson said with a rather unfriendly tone

Did I do something wrong. Dr. Dawson?Cornelia asked

What do you mean?Dr. Dawson paused for a moment and said

I feel like you’ve changed recently. You’re not the Dr. Dawson I knew. It’s almost like you have a beef with me” 

Some people were sneaky and can be dealt with. But the real tough ones were the straight shooters like Cornelia. She said what was on her mind, and was so upfront that it left people speechless 

Dr. Dawson looked a bit awkward, Perhaps I’ve been on edge because of Marc’s illness. My tone was off, I apologize.” 

We all work for President Hartley. We should respect and get along with each other. Only by doing so can we work better for him. Don’t you think?” 

Of course Dr. Dawson led the way into the hospital, Come, let’s go see Marc.” 

Marcus was staying in a VIP room. It was not just a room, but the whole 8th floor, which was pretty swanky

Dr. Dawson brought Cornelia straight to Marcus’s room, You may go in.” 

Cornelia took a deep breath, composed herself, and knocked lightly on the door 

Come in,Marcus’s voice came from inside

Cornelia entered and saw Marcus sitting on the bed

He looked pretty good, didn’t seem sick at all. Why did Dr. Dawson say he was in bad shape

What she didn’t know was that to keep her from worrying, Marcus had the best and most expensive makeup artist touch him up before she arrived

Marcus looked at Cornelia, a hint of smile hiding behind his glasses, You’re here.” 

Cornelia nodded, not daring to meet his eyes, pretending to look around, President Hartley, what happened to you?” 

Just a minor issue. Marcus gestured to the chair next to him, suggesting she sit, Would you like something to eat or drink?” 

Cornelia shook her head, No need to fuss.” 

Marcus noticed her looking around, avoiding his gaze. He guessed she might need a favor, but was too shy to ask, Do you have something you would like to discuss with me? If so, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll definitely help you out.” 

Cornelia thought for a moment, gathered her courage and looked at him, President Hartley, what exactly is your relationship with Jeremy?”
