Steven glanced at the door and then at Zavier's trembling face, he basically understood, "How did you let your wife end up like this?"
"When a person has no way out, there's nothing they can't do. Maybe death is better than living." Hannah sighed faintly, drawing everyone's attention.
Steven shot her a sidelong glance, "What about her family?"
Hannah's face turned pale, and she lowered her head, not saying another word. After all these years, this was still his only way.
After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened, and everyone's hope, Dr. Dawson, emerged.
Zavier immediately tried to rush in, but Dr. Dawson quickly closed the door, "Skyler is fine, but the baby couldn't be saved. She needs to be taken to the hospital for a cleaning procedure."
"As long as she's okay. I'll take her to the hospital now." Zavier's goal was never the baby. It was just a means for him to tie Skyler down.
Dr. Dawson stopped him, "Skyler doesn't want to see you. Marc, Cornelia wants you to go in."
Zavier was furious, "My wife had a miscarriage, and you won't let me in, but you let him in? What for?"
Dr. Dawson didn't say anything, just staring at Marcus.
"If you want to protect Skyler, keep quiet for now." Marcus patted Zavier's shoulder and stepped into the room.
As soon as he entered, the room was not only filled with a strong smell of blood, but he also saw Cornelia's red and swollen eyes. She had definitely just cried.
He didn't understand why Cornelia, who had only met Skyler twice, cared so much about her.
Cornelia hurriedly closed the door, "President Hartley, could you do me a favor?"
He was just doing what a husband should do for his wife.
Cornelia wanted to accompany Skyler, and Dr. Dawson had to come too. With a car that could only fit four people, plus the driver, there was no seat for Marcus, so he acted as a temporary driver.
Marcus had to come along because the snow was heavy, and the wind was strong. The road down the mountain was covered with thick snow, and even with anti-skid chains installed, it was very dangerous. He didn't want to entrust Cornelia's safety to anyone else.
The snow on the road was thick, and the wheels made a hissing sound as they crushed it, every sound was a reminder of how dangerous the downhill journey was.
Cornelia, sitting in the passenger seat, looked worriedly at Marcus. As the boss of the Hartley Group, he was taking such a great risk for his friend's wife.
He must know that if anything happened to him, the consequences would be severe.
Marcus noticed her gaze, "What's wrong?"
