Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 362

He knew Marcus was in a funk lately, but there didn't seem to be anything physically wrong with him.

Dr. Dawson couldn't spill the beans that Marcus had asked him to check up on Cornelia. He said, "Just a routine check-up. I'll go find President Hartley first, you keep on truckin'."

Ben replied, "President Hartley is in the loo. You'll have to hang tight for a bit."

Dr. Dawson responded, "Alright."

Cornelia walked into the bathroom. She looked in the mirror and saw that her nose was swollen and as red as a beet. It looked pretty gnarly.

The bump initially only made her nose a bit red. How did it swell up so fast?

If she showed up looking like this for Marcus’ client meeting, it would definitely taint the Hartley Group’s image, something Marcus wouldn’t stand for.

She needed to stop the bleeding and figure out a way to reduce the swelling ASAP. She couldn't afford to drop the ball now.

Cornelia bent down to wash her nose, but the bleeding wouldn't stop. No matter how much she tried to clean it, it still looked pretty gruesome.

With no other option, Cornelia resorted to an old trick from her childhood. She rolled up two tissues and shoved them up her nostrils to stop the bleeding.

Suddenly, the bathroom door was flung open, scaring her so much that she smeared blood on her face. She looked like a mess, but there was something kind of adorable about it.

Dr. Dawson instantly attended to Cornelia's bleeding nose, "It's just a swollen nose that's bleeding a bit; she won't die."

"Why don't you give yourself a nose bump and see how it feels?" Marcus retorted angrily, as if he was about to blow a fuse.

Dr. Dawson was at a loss for words.

Cornelia looked at Dr. Dawson sympathetically. The poor guy was dragged into this.

Dr. Dawson managed to stop Cornelia's bleeding. He stuffed two pieces of medicated cotton up her nostrils, and applied some swelling reduction cream on her nose, "Cornelia, take the cotton out in about half an hour. I used the best anti-swelling cream on your nose, but it might still take a few days to go down. But don't worry, it'll be alright in a few days and won't leave a scar."
