Chapter 867
“Marcus, I’m begging you! Please, save my granny!” Cornelia clung to Marcus, gripping him so tightly her fingers were contorting.
At this moment, Marcus was her lifeline, her buoy in the raging sea. She believed that if he wanted to, he could surely bring Granny Rebecca back from the brink. Marcus wanted to save Granny Rebecca too, but even with all his wealth and power, he was just as helpless as anyone else when it came to life and death. “Cornelia…” He held her waist, repeating her name over and over again, hoping to bring her back to her senses, but to no avail.
Dr. Lester was also there, ‘Marc, Comelia is in a dangerous state. We need to give her a sedative right away to calm her down, or the consequences could be serious.” Marcus ordered, “Watch the dosage. Don’t harm her.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll just let her sleep for a while. She’ll be fine when she wakes up.” With Marcus’ permission, Dr. Lester promptly administered a sedative to Cornelia. The drug took effect quickly, and Cornelia gradually calmed down. Moments later, her eyes closed and she collapsed into Marcus’ arms.
After carrying her to her bedroom on the third floor, Marcus went downstairs to deal with Granny Rebecca’s affairs…
Granny Luisa’s eyes were red, and she was in a terrible state. As soon as she saw Marcus, tears began flowing again, “Marc, Marc, what about Nelly…
“Don’t cry, let me go find Granny Rebecca’s doctor and get to the bottom of things.” Marcus remembered that just the day before yesterday, when he and Cornelia were out, Granny Rebecca was fine.
He had spoken to her doctor before leaving, who had told him that Granny Rebecca was recovering quickly and her physical and men tal states were good. Something must have gone terribly wrong when someone who was good in every way suddenly died, and he had to figure out what went wrong and gave Cornelia an explanation.
“You don’t need to go find the doctor. I know what happened.” Granny Luisa gestured towards the door, where a man in his fifties was kneeling.
That was John, who had been driving for Granny Luisa for decades. Both the Artis family and the Hartley family treated him like family.
But now, John was kneeling upright, radiating a sense of resolve.
“I trusted him, that’s why I let him near Granny Rebecca. But he added something to her medicine, causing her condition to worsen suddenly. Even the doctors couldn’t save her.” Granny Luisa revealed.
Marcus had entrusted Granny Rebecca to his most trusted people, thinking that she would be safe. He hadn’t expected that the danger would come from someone who had been with them for decades.
Marcus stepped forward and looked down at John, “When did Brennen Hartley get to you?”
John, who had seemed unafraid of death, became agitated at these words, “Marc, I hate Brennen as much as you do. How could I ever be used by him?”
Marcus replied emotionlessly, “Are you going to confess, or should I have someone interrogate you?”
