Chapter 1160
Having wrapped up the conversation, Marcus waved his hand dismissively, “You go ahead and do your thing.”
“Alright.” Gloom replied.
When he left, Dr. Lester let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Marcus could finally have a proper rest. But the next
second, Marcus’ phone started to buzz
again.
Dr. Lester said. “Marc, can you just switch off your phone? No job is more important than your life, man.”
Marcus didn’t even bat an eyelid, he just picked up the call.
Dr. Lester had no idea who was on the other end of the line. He only heard Marcus say, “Yeah, make sure she gets
the hang of things in no time. I have more plans when I get back.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that said, Marcus ended the call.
Dr. Lester asked, “Can you finally lie down and rest now?”
Marcus asked, “Did the folks you reached out to arrive yet?”
Dr. Lester answered, “Everyone is scattered around the world. I told them to fly over here ASAP, but it’s gonna take
at least a couple of days to get everyone together.”
Marcus didn’t care about the time, “How sure are you that you can cure me?”
Dr. Lester replied, “1…”
It was not that Dr. Lester was unwilling to answer, but even though he was hailed as a miracle doctor, he had no
confidence he could cure Marcus. Last night, he took Marcus to the hospital for a full body check-up, but the
frightening thing was they couldn’t find anything wrong.
The poison was slowly corroding his body, but there were no visible signs of internal damage. By the time the
damage was discovered, his organs would burst instantly, leaving only a thin layer of skin, and death was the only
path left.
What Marcus was most worried about was Cornelia, “You have to take good care of Cornelia”
Dr. Lester grumbled, “Why don’t you take care of Cornelia yourself? Who would look after your wife?”
“Cornelia’s parents passed away a long time ago. She was brought up by Granny Rebecca. Despite her carefree
outward appearance, she’s actually pretty sensitive inside. If she finds out about my condition, she’ll definitely lose
it. Marcus said.
“Do you think you can keep this from her forever?” Dr. Lester asked.
“Even if I can’t, I must. No accidents can happen. Marcus said.
Dr. Lester suggested, “But from what I see, Cornelia is very brave. She would definitely want to fight this illness with
you instead of being kept in the dark.” Marcus didn’t say anything more. He knew very well how much Cornelia
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmvalued love and loyalty. It was precisely because she was so loyal and loving that he couldn’t tell her. Granny
Rebecca’s death had already dealt a huge blow to Cornelia. Even with Marcus by her side, she had almost broken
down a few times.
If she were to watch him leave this world without being able to do anything, he was sure that she would lose her
mind. Marcus would never let such a thing happen.
Dr. Lester added, “If you don’t want to tell her, I respect your decision. For now, you need to rest and cooperate
with the treatment. We have to believe that miracles can happen’
Marcus gave a weak smile and closed his eyes, “Will there really be a miracle?”
Dr. Lester nodded firmly, “Yes! There definitely will be!”
He was not just talking to Marcus, but also reassuring himself. He was telling himself that he had to find a way to
save Marcus.
But by then, Marcus could no longer hear him. After lying down, he slipped into a state of unconsciousness.
