Chapter 574
Dr. Lester’s eyes were as wide as saucers as he stared at him, “You seriously don’t know why I always carry this medication?”
Maybe Marcus had forgotten, but Dr. Lester dared not. One day, Marcus had called him in the middle of the night, telling him that Cornelia was allergic to peanuts and asked him to develop a medicine for it ASAP
He also emphasized that once it was made, he must have it with him at all times in case of emergencies.
But now, this little punk was doubting him!
Dr. Lester was miffed and muttered under his breath, “This isn’t like you, Marcus.”
Marcus had tested the medicine himself with no adverse reactions, “Give it to Cornelia first.”
Dr. Lester didn’t want to deal with him anymore, but he turned to Cornelia and smiled, “Cornelia, this medicine is very effective for peanut allergies. Keep it with you and if you accidentally eat peanuts, take one. It’s potent, so one is enough. Don’t overdo it.”
Cornelia chuckled, “Thank you, Dr. Lester! Thank you, Marcus!”
Seeing Cornelia’s smile, Marcus was lost in thought again.
He wasn’t a suspicious person. He always believed that if he had doubts about someone, he shouldn’t keep them around. However, he just strangely started doubting Dr. Lester who had been with him for over two decades.
Dr. Lester said it wasn’t like him, and it truly didn’t match his usual behavior. Even he himself didn’t understand why he would get flustered when it came to Cornelia.
“Drink lots of water for the next two hours. If nothing happens, you should be okay” After giving his instructions, Dr. Lester didn’t spare Marcus another glance, picked up his medical bag, and left.
Hmph, he had his pride too.
“Marcus, Cornelia, I’ll go clean out all the peanuts in the house. Don’t worry, we won’t have them in the house anymore” Patricia wanted to give them some alone time and without waiting for their response, she dashed off.
In the study, only Cornelia and Marcus were left. For a moment, both were at a loss for words, making the atmosphere a bit awkward
Marcus felt as the husband, he should break the silence, so he said, “Cornelia, if you’re feeling unwell, you have to tell me
Cornelia looked at him.
Marcus asked, ‘Don’t you recognize me?”
Cornelia sniffed, whispering. “Marcus, were you testing the medicine for me just now?”
Marcus and Dr. Lester’s conversation was cut short, but Cornelia could infer the whole story from the half–spoken words.
