Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 261

The screeching brake sounds, the crash, the vivid red blood and the person lying in it. Every frame of the video was giving Cornelia a real kick in the guts.

She couldn't figure out why watching a car crash video was making it hard for her to breathe, as if she was choking.

Justin thought it was prime time to pop the question, “Ms. Stewart, are you feeling sick watching this video? Does it remind you of anything?”

Cornelia shook her head violently, not wanting to admit how uncomfortable the video made her feel. However, bloody images popped up uncontrollably in her mind.

Justin insisted, “Ms. Stewart, take a closer look at this video, it might jog your memory of something you'd rather forget.”

“Do I have to watch this because you want me to? Do I have to remember because you want me to? Mr. Hartley, you guys keep watching, I need some fresh air.” Cornelia got up, all worked up, wanting to escape from the suffocating place, but was grabbed by Marcus.

“Cornelia,” his deep voice called her name, and he looked at her tenderly, “I’m here, don’t be scared. Speak your fears and we’ll take them on together.”

“Mr. Hartley, what the hell are you talking about?” Cornelia jerked her hand away, “What’s this ‘I’m here, so you don’t have to be scared’ crap? What’s this ‘speak your fears and we’ll solve them together’ nonsense? You're my boss, not my husband. Do you think it's appropriate to say things like that?”

Marcus didn’t say anything.

So much blood, and her father's weak but unwavering voice, “Nelly, close your eyes, forget everything that happened today, and live well in the future.”

"Daddy, you can't leave me." Cornelia reached out, trying to grab her father's hand, but was held tightly by a warm, large hand. "Cornelia, don’t be scared, I’m always here."

The voice was deep and powerful, like a massive comfort.

Her father's loving and gentle face seemed to appear in front of her, Cornelia didn’t hesitate to throw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, "Daddy, I’m sorry! If it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't have been hurt, I’m sorry! I’m sorry."
