Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 874

Cornelia didn't respond, but Marcus knew she had heard him. After he had said his piece, he left Granny Rebecca's room, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him for Cornelia.

As he stepped outside, he saw Abigail and Zack eavesdropping at the door. Those two really took after Cornelia in some ways. "Go wait in the living room. Quit snooping around here."

"But Nelly's in there all by herself, we can't just leave her," Abigail said.

"Trust her," was Marcus' reply.

Abigail and Zack wanted to stick around, but seeing Marcus' confidence made them decide to follow him to the living room.

...

After Marcus left, Cornelia went over to Granny Rebecca's bedside, carefully taking her hand. "Granny..."

As she called out to her grandmother, she couldn't help but cry. Her heart ached as if it was being carved out, making it hard for her to breathe. It took her some time to calm herself down before she could continue. "Granny, it's been a while since we had a proper chat. Let's talk today."

Granny Rebecca's hand was cold and stiff, but Cornelia held it against her face. "Granny, are you upset with me for not having a baby like you wanted? Granny, I've been trying to get pregnant. If you could wake up, you'd be holding my baby in a few months."

But no matter what Cornelia said, Granny Rebecca didn't respond. Cornelia knew her grandmother couldn't respond anymore, but she still held out hope for a miracle, hoping Granny Rebecca could come back to life.

"If I knew then that even unsaid wishes won't come true, I would have told you, so that you would know how important you are to me. Granny, I'd give up everything just to have you wake up and be with me.”

If possible, Cornelia would trade everything she owns for her grandmother's life. But she knew that even the most precious thing in the world couldn't bring her grandmother back.

The clearer she realized this, the more it hurt.

She had to suppress her pain, so she could continue talking to her grandmother. "Granny, I know you've been blaming yourself for me being framed. You think it's your fault for not protecting me, leading me to be left without a home."
