Granny Luisa went on, "I used to think of you as family, because you were diligent and loyal. But now, you've made decisions on your own, supposedly for the Hartley family's benefit, but you've actually hurt our real family. You're no longer fit to be one of us."
"Granny Luisa, you once said you'd always consider me family. You can't go back on your word!" John looked at Granny Luisa, wishing she could take back those hurtful words.
But his hopes were dashed. Granny Luisa didn't retract what she just said, but hit him where it hurt, "You know you were only considered family, not real family. Cornelia and her grandma are our real family."
"Granny Luisa, I don't get it. Why are they your family and I, who have been with you for over twenty years, am now an outsider?" John looked at Granny Luisa. "Granny Luisa, tell me!"
Granny Luisa stated sternly, "Because Cornelia is Marc's wife! She is the woman he will spend his life with!"
"She's not worthy! She's not worthy! I regret not killing her..." John began to yell like a madman, "Why? Why did it turn out like this? It's all that woman's fault. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have ended up like this."
Granny Luisa said, "You made a mistake, and you want to pin it on someone else."
Marcus didn't want to hear his crap, "Ayden, take him away."
Ayden, "Yes, sir."
After dealing with this issue, Marcus felt even more restless.
......
Around 11 o'clock at night, Cornelia woke up after sleeping for a full ten hours. She opened her eyes and saw Marcus sitting by her bed.
Marcus gently cupped her face and kissed her forehead lightly, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Cornelia turned and snuggled into his arms, rubbing her face against him, "Marcus, I just had a long and scary nightmare. I dreamt that my grandma suddenly got seriously ill, that she called you and me together and said a lot of things, that she was leaving me... I was almost in tears..."
She patted her chest lightly, "Thankfully it was just a dream... But it felt so real it scared me. My chest still hurts."
