Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 558

"Why the heck is this happening?"

Cornelia was puzzled. She was planning to call Dr. Lester in for a check, but noticed that her hand was firmly held by Marcus.

She tried to move slightly, but Marcus held her even tighter.

"Mr. Marcus, if you're awake, cut the act, okay? Don't scare us like this," Cornelia suspected Marcus was playing possum because she didn't understand how a comatose person could hold her hand so tightly.

She extended her other hand and gently pinched the back of his hand. She used a certain amount of force; if he was pretending, he should have reacted.

However, Marcus didn't respond at all, leaving Cornelia utterly disappointed.

As for why he suddenly opened his eyes, held her hand, and called her name, Cornelia, not being a doctor, couldn't understand. She needed to get Dr. Lester to check on him right away...

Cornelia tried again to free her hand, but still to no avail. Even with all her strength, she couldn't break free from Marcus’ grip.

He hadn't woken up, then why was his grip so strong?

With no other options, all Cornelia could do was stay by his side, literally not moving an inch; she couldn't even go to the restroom.

Luckily, she hadn't drunk much water today...

...

Zack said worriedly, "Could it be that Marcus is pretending to be sick just to keep Cornelia with him?"

Abigail shook her head and then nodded, "It's possible. I read a novel once where the male lead got the female lead back by pretending to be sick..."

Zack angrily interrupted Abigail, "What the hell! You're still thinking about novels? Novels are all made up, just fantasies created for girls like you. There's not so much fairytale stuff in real life. What I'm worried about now is that Marcus, knowing Cornelia wants a divorce, might do something drastic and harm her."

Shaken by Zack's words, Abigail quickly shook her head, "No way, absolutely no way. Marcus would never hurt Nelly."

Zack coldly said, "Marcus, that heartless bastard, could send his own father to jail. What else can't he do?"
