Chapter 101
Granny Luisa “Alright, here we go, you go back.”
“Goodbye, grannies!” Cornelia Stewart reluctantly watched the car slowly drive away, not taking her eyes off it for quite a while.
Deep down, Cornelia knew that Granny Rebecca and Granny Luisa were going to Southern Peak not because they wanted to spend Jeremy Artis’s money, but because they didn’t want to cause her trouble and affect her work.
Not far away, an ordinary business car was parked, with Marcus Hartley sitting inside.
Seeing Cornelia’s dispirited look, he lit a cigarette, snuffed it out without taking a puff, pushed the car door open and walked towards her “Cornelia ”
Cornelia was startled by her name being called suddenly. Seeing it was him, she was puzzled but still managed to put on her standard smile. “President Hartley, why are you here? Where do you feel unwell to see a doctor?*
Marcus: “Just passing by What about you?”
Bumping into her twice in one day while passing by seemed too much of a coincidence, so much so that Cornelia couldn’t believe it.
Did he have some purpose for her?
It wasn’t that Cornelia thought too highly of herself, but his behavior was indeed suspicious. She decided to be cautious. I’m also just passing by and getting ready to go home. Goodbye. President Hartley.”
As she finished speaking and was about to leave, Marcus stopped her. “Thaven’t had dinner yet. Let’s have dinner together?”
Even inviting her to dinner, President Hartley was really acting strange today. She apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry, President Hartley, but I already have plans with my friends
“Nelly, why are you standing outside in the cold wind?” Zack Ruck and Abigail Young had just arrived at the hospital when they saw Cornelia talking to a man by the roadside. They couldn see the man’s face as his back was facing them.
The two of them arrived just in time. Cornelia hurriedly went up to them and said, “I told you guys to wait for me at the restaurant. Why did you come here?”
Zack didn’t catch her hint, shaking the thermos in his hand. “Abby and I got off work early today and made some soup especially for Granny Rebecca
Cornelia: “Granny Rebecca won’t be able to enjoy it
The two of them were shocked. “What did you say?”
Cornelia realized her words were misleading and quickly explained, “Granny Luisa took Granny Rebecca to Southern Peak to recuperate”
Abigail “Granny Luisa took Granny Rebecca to recuperate? You and that Jeremy guy are already divorced, why are they still so kind?”
Cornelia shrugged helplessly. “We didn’t get divorced.”
Abigal “Why not?”
Cornelia: “He changed his mind
Abigail shouted angrily. That man insisted on divorce when you were most vulnerable, and now he doesn’t want to anymore, he even took Granny Rebecca to Southern Peak to recuperate. He must have no good intentions”
Zack nodded, “Yeah, that guy must be up to no good.”
At this point, Marcus, who was being scolded right in front of him, felt gloomy inside.
