Chapter 1135
Jayden turned to Ben, “Did President Hartley send you?”
Ben retorted, “What else?”
Jayden asked again, “So, President Hartley predicted that Cornelia would call you if she couldn’t reach him. He
really cares about her. But why did he keep it from Cornelia? Do you know why?”
“How would I know what President Hartley is thinking? Ben looked up at the light on the ER door, “Is he in bad
shape?”
If it wasn’t that bad, Ben guessed Marcus wouldn’t have told him the truth, let alone have him rush to the Capital to
deceive Cornelia with them.
Jayden said, “I’m not sure about the specifics. But Dr. Lester has contacted top doctors both domestically and

Ben didn’t know how serious Marcus was, but he firmly believed Marcus would wake up. “Cornelia is smart. She will
call again after a while. If President Hartley still hasn’t woken up by then, we won’t be able to keep it a secret. We
need to think of a plan in advance. We can’t let President Hartley’s strategy fail.”
Jayden said, “Let’s discuss this after Dr. Lester is done.”
Ben replied, “We have no other choice.”
After ending the call, Cornelia was staring at her phone, not blinking. A moment later, Grandpa Augustine’s kind
voice reached her, “Nelly, didn’t you like the food tonight?”
There were only Steven, Hannah, Lucas, Rosie, and Cornelia at the table, a total of five people. They left after
eating a bit, and Cornelia didn’t eat at all. But it wasn’t because of the food, but because Cornelia was not in the
mood, “Grandpa Augustine, the food is great, Just that I don’t have an appetite tonight.”
Grandpa Augustine sat down next to Cornelia, speaking earnestly, “You’re missing Marc after he’s just been gone a
little while?”
Cornelia replied, “Grandpa Augustine, it’s not what you think.”
Grandpa Augustine asked, “Then what is it? Tell me, maybe I can help.”
Cornelia replied, “It’s nothing.”
Grandpa Augustine asked again, “Are you mad at him because he left without telling you?”
Cornelia replied, “No.”
Grandpa Augustine gently patted her head, “Nelly, even the closest couples are still two individuals. You can’t be
together all the time like conjoined twins. Let Marc do his thing, and you live your life. You can’t rely on him for all
your emotions. Do you understand?”
Cornelia understood, but she still worried about him.

guides for you. You will definitely spend a great time here”
Cornelia said, “Grandpa Augustine, I appreciate it, but it’s not necessary. I’m going back to Riverton tomorrow. I
have my own work and other things to deal with.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Marc left you in my care, and he wants me to keep you in the Capital until he comes to
pick you up. Nelly, you wouldn’t let me break my word, would you?”
Cornelia didn’t know what to say.
Grandpa Augustine continued, “That’s settled then. You’ll stay in the Capital. I’ve already told the kids, they’ll be
here for the next few days to keep you company.”
Cornelia couldn’t refuse, so she agreed to stay.
Grandpa Augustine said, “It’s late, you should get some rest.”
Cornelia replied, “Okay”
