Marcus gave a laugh, he looked like he was laughing, but his gaze was sharp and terrifying, "The guy he wants to see is me."
Cornelia said, "Then I'll go with you."
Marcus gently patted her head, "Granny Rebecca's death has something to do with Brennen... Don't you blame me at all?"
Cornelia said, "I've told you before, Brennen and you, you guys are totally different people. His screw-ups have nothing to do with you."
Marcus said, "My life was given by him. His blood is flowing in my body..."
Cornelia cut him off, "So what?"
So what! Her straightforward words clarified her stance, giving him endless strength and warmth, but he still felt uneasy, "Sometimes, I feel the blood flowing in my body is filthy."
Cornelia said, "You can't think like that. Think about it, aren't there any similarities between your situation and mine? You're also a victim. Brennen should be the one to bear all the consequences of his sins, why should you take it for him?"
Marcus wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
Zack, who was closest to the door, quickly opened it. A stranger stood at the door, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
The man said, "I'm Hank, a friend of Cornelia's father. I heard Granny Rebecca passed away, so I rushed back to say my goodbyes."
Cornelia said, "Don't be sad. My grandma would be happy to know you came to see her."
Hank said, "Nelly, you've lost your only family, what will you do in the future? If you don't mind, you can consider me and my wife as your family. If you need any help, just let me know."
Marcus coldly said, "She's not alone, she has me!"
Only then did Hank look at Marcus. Facing Marcus' stern gaze, he felt a chill in his heart, "Nelly, who is he?"
Cornelia pulled Marcus forward a bit, "Jeremy, this is my dad's good friend, Hank. Hank, this is my husband, Jeremy."
