Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1073

Marcus said, "I'm fine."

Marcus said he was okay, but Cornelia didn't buy it.

She wolfed down her food, "Regardless, I want Dr. Lester to check you out, just so I can breathe easy."

Marcus grabbed Cornelia's hand, holding it tightly, "Cornelia, I suddenly fancy a movie, would you join me?"

Cornelia pulled out her phone, "Let me call Dr. Lester first. Once he gives you the green light, I'd watch a million movies with you."

Marcus knew Cornelia was as stubborn as a mule, so he just nodded in agreement.

When they got home, Dr. Lester showed up in no time. Throughout the check-up, Cornelia stood by Marcus' side, her eyes filled with worry.

Marcus gave Dr. Lester a look and he immediately caught on, turning to Cornelia, "Cornelia, Marc's just got some minor issues. As long as he eats right and stays off the booze, he'll be just fine."

Cornelia said, "That's reassuring."

Dr. Lester asked, "Could you fetch him a glass of water?"

Cornelia said, "Right away."

As soon as Cornelia left, Dr. Lester's face fell. He gripped Marcus' wrist anxiously, "Marc, what on earth is wrong with you? Why is your pulse suddenly so slow?"

In all his years of practice, Dr. Lester had never seen anything like it. He freaked out.

Marcus said, "I'll fill you in later. For now, we have to keep Cornelia in the dark."

Dr. Lester said, "Marc, your life is what matters most. Everything else is secondary."

Marcus said, "If you want to swear, do it at home. I'm fine here. You can go."

Dr. Lester wanted to say more, but Marcus told him to keep it from Cornelia, so he left, "I'm going. Remember what you said, or else I..."

Marcus gave him a cold look, "Or else what?"

Dr. Lester felt a chill, didn't dare to say another word, and left with his medical bag.

Cornelia took Dr. Lester's word for it. If he said Marcus was okay, she felt a bit more at ease. She handed Marcus a glass of water, "Here, have some water. After you finish, we can start the movie. Any favorites?"

Marcus didn't really care about the movie. He cared more about who he was watching it with, "Anything's fine."

Cornelia said, "I'll set up the projector, and then we can pick a movie together."
