Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 536

He just got settled, and started chatting with Cornelia. Clearly, this girl was not his antidote, but rather the poison that could take his life.

Just as Dr. Dawson was full of gripes, Marcus calmly asked, "You seem pretty upset with Cornelia?"

Dr. Dawson was taken aback. Was he a mind reader or something?

She awkwardly laughed, "Cornelia is so nice, how could I be upset with her?"

Marcus was staring at his phone, not looking at her. He asked softly, "Did she call me while I was out?"

Dr. Dawson knew she couldn't hide it. She didn't dare to either, "She called for 'Marcus', not 'Jeremy'. I answered for you."

Marcus asked, "What did you tell her?"

Dr. Dawson said, "Just as you instructed, I didn't dare to tell her about your condition. I just told her you weren't available."

"Cornelia is my wife!" After Marcus said that, he fell silent. Dr. Dawson couldn't figure him out and was getting more anxious.

After a while, she cautiously asked, "Marc, if you have something to say, just spit it out. Don't make me guess."

Marcus asked, "Wasn't I clear enough?"

Dr. Dawson said, "Maybe I just didn't get what you were trying to say."

Marcus said, "Cornelia is my wife, the closest person to me by law. Not only does she own half of my wealth, half of my life is hers too. Even if one day I'm at death's door, the only person who can sign off on me giving up treatment is Cornelia."

Dr. Dawson was shocked, "Marc, you were the one who asked me to keep your illness from Cornelia before you passed out. I did as you instructed."

Marcus said, "Please leave."

Dr. Dawson didn’t answer. She had been with Marcus for so many years, this was the first time he dismissed her so coldly.

He never treated her like this before. Never.

All because of Cornelia.

Jayden, standing outside the room, saw Dr. Dawson walking out of the room in a daze. He was very worried and asked, "Mom, are there any new issues with President Hartley's health?"

Dr. Dawson looked at him and said sadly, "Marc doesn't see me as his mother."
