Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 269

"Would my sister-in-law get jealous of me? Just because I give you a hug, she'll get mad?" Briana was getting more and more curious about her unseen sister-in-law. "Bro, when will I officially meet her?"

Marcus looked towards Cornelia in the sunroom, "Soon."

"When is soon?" Briana wanted to keep asking but didn't know how to phrase it. "What do you think I should do to make Cornelia stay?"

Marcus responded, "Do you really need me to teach you how to make someone stick around?"

Briana pouted, "It's fine if you don't tell me how to make Cornelia stay. I'll just follow her."

Before she could finish, Marcus interrupted her, "Come with me to the study on the third floor."

Briana asked, "What for? I'm not interested in your complex, hard-to-understand books."

Marcus replied, "Just follow me."

Reluctantly, Briana did.

On Cornelia's side, Justin didn't ask her many questions. He just chatted with her while they drank coffee, about work, friends, even celebrities. But he never brought up the car accident.

Finally, Cornelia couldn't bear it anymore and asked him, "Doctor, don't you want to ask me about the accident?"

"I was just doing my job. There's no need for formalities, Ms. Stewart." Justin checked the time, "Let's end here today. I'll prescribe some medication for you later. Follow the instructions and we'll see how it goes."

"Dr. Terrel, do you charge per session or per hour?" Although Marcus had offered to pay for her treatment, Cornelia didn't intend for him to actually do so.

"I charge by the hour. We've just talked for an hour, so that would be five hundred dollars." Justin usually charged patients by the second. This price might be steep for Cornelia and many ordinary people, but for Marcus, it was just a fraction. He paid Justin much more than that.

Justin had to admire Marcus for his foresight. Before his chat with Cornelia, he'd told him about the payment, instructing him to charge her a moderate fee.

Justin figured Cornelia should be able to afford five hundred dollars and wouldn't suspect the price was off.
