After getting on the train, Cornelia whipped out her phone and pinged Jeremy a text, "Hey Jeremy, I'm on the train to Southern Peak. Got any messages for grandma?"
In this age of instant communication, you can say whatever you want via video chat.
Cornelia was just looking for an excuse to chat with Jeremy and build a rapport. Jeremy didn't seem like the chatty type. He hardly ever initiated contact, and it was mostly her reaching out.
Cornelia didn't have a problem with Jeremy being a bit of an introvert. She was just worried that he might find her annoying if she kept reaching out.
After sending the text, Cornelia began to wait patiently.
One minute passed...
Five minutes passed...
Ten minutes went by, and Jeremy still hadn't replied. But Cornelia kept her cool.
She hadn't expected to reach Southern Peak by train and still not have a reply from Jeremy.
Dr. Dawson regained her composure at his shout.
Ayden's horrendous scar nearly ruined his face. Jayden could never forget about it, but what did it have to do with anything now, "What does Ayden's scar have to do with anything?"
Dr. Dawson finished her cigarette, then said slowly, "I remember Marc was less than eighteen that year. He took over The Hartley Group for less than two months, and everything was in chaos inside and out.”
