Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251

“Even a three-year-old kid knows what's important, at least they know to follow instructions.’ Even when drunk, Cornelia remembered that Marcus never gave his health a second thought.

"Look at him! No matter how much I nag, he never learns to take care of himself. Always putting work above food and rest.’ Cornelia's voice was getting angrier, "I've told him over and over again, he's not made of steel! He's a flesh and blood human being. He can get sick. He can feel pain."

"You're absolutely right." Ben said, "No matter how powerful President Hartley is in the business world, no matter how strong his business skills are, he's just a flesh and blood human being like us when facing illness. He can get sick, feel pain, he...

Suddenly, Ben stopped talking. Over the phone, his heavy breathing and a low growl like a small animal, as if he was trying hard to hide some emotion.

Cornelia was drunk, too. If she hadn't been, she would have noticed something different about Ben. Not knowing what was going on with Ben, a drunk Cornelia kept mumbling, "Ben, you have to know that Marcus was seriously shot once. Because he didn’t get appropriate treatment in time, he was left with some after-effects. This illness makes his hand always cold, sometimes even as cold as ice. You have to remind him, especially when the weather is cold, to keep himself warm and not to freeze."

Ben was with Marcus for many years and was present when Marcus was injured. Being a part of it, he knew better than Cornelia how serious Marcus's injury was, and he understood how dangerous the whole thing was.

But so many years had passed, he seldom saw Marcus feeling unwell, so he thought Marcus's wounds had healed.

Only recently, he found out that Marcus's condition was much more serious than what he saw.

Ben suddenly said very seriously, "Cornelia, you are the best girl I have ever met. If President Hartley could hear what you said, I think he would be very happy."
