Dr. Lester nodded and said, "Marcus feels like his days are numbered. He's scared shitless that Cornelia would get hurt when he kicks the bucket, so he's got everything sorted out for her in advance."
Granny Luisa burst out, "That's bollocks!"
Dr. Lester was left speechless.
Granny Luisa continued, "He didn't even ask Cornelia what she wanted, just made the call for her. Does he think he's being noble doing this? It's not noble; it’s selfish."

Granny Luisa said, "He's the kid I raised, my hope, my everything..."

Even if Dr. Lester wouldn't help, Granny Luisa knew she could find Marcus if she tried. It would just take some time.
She feared it might be too late by then.
