Chapter 772
She blinked her sleepy eyes and rubbed her groggy head, momentarily forgetting where she was. It wasn’t until she
lifted her head and saw Marcus clearly that she recalled, “President Harlley…”
Marcus, “Your grandma woke up and wants to talk to me alone. You take a break, I’ll go see her.”
“I’m her granddaughter, why is it that the first person she wants to see when she awakes isn’t me? Doctor, are you
getting things mixed up?” Her grandmother woke up, and the first person she wanted to see was not her. She was
reluctant to believe this fact, but she said, “Whatever, I’m coming with you to see her.”
Marcus could only oblige, “Alright.”
Cornelia insisted on accompanying Marcus to her grandma’s ward. She was taken aback by how much her

“Grandma…” A lump formed in Cornelia’s throat as she buried her head into her grandma’s chest, “Grandma, do
you feel any discomfort? Is there anything you want to eat? If you feel unwell, you must tell me. And if there’s
anything you want to eat, you must tell me too. I remember you love grilled pork belly, once you’re better, I’ll
personally make it for you, okay?”
Before her grandma could respond, Cornelia had already babbled on.
Her grandma struggled to lift her hand and pat her head, “Nelly, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
This girl had always been like this since childhood, the more nervous she was, the more she talked. She used her
constant chatter to
mask her emotions.
Cornelia, “I know you’ll be fine. I’m not worried.”
“Good, good, you’re not worried.” Granny Luisa chuckled, “You go out first, I need to talk to Marc in private.”
Cornelia, “Grandma, I’m your granddaughter. What do you have to say to him alone that I can’t hear yet?”
Granny Rebecca, “Many, many things that you can’t hear.”
Cornelia, “No, I want to.”
Cornelia was not an unreasonable child. She’d been sensible since she was little. She was being disobedient today,
refusing to leave, because she was still worried and scared. She was afraid that once she left, she would miss
important news. She was afraid that her grandma was hiding something from her, afraid that her grandma was
unwilling to tell her the truth.

Granny Rebecca smiled, “You’re married now, your husband is here, and you’re still acting like a child. Aren’t you
afraid he’ll laugh at you?”
Cornelia, “He won’t.”
“Nelly…” Granny Rebecca called Cornelia’s name and stroked her face again, “Grandma doesn’t have any big
wishes now, just hoping you and Marc can have a baby soon.”
Cornelia, “Grandma, don’t rush, we’ll have a baby eventually.”
Or perhaps they won’t. After all, Marcus had health issues and it was uncertain whether he can be treated in the
future. But Cornelia can’t
say this.
They were still young, not in a hurry, but Granny Rebecca was. Her health was deteriorating, and after this sudden
fainting spell, she thought she may not live to see their child. If she can’t see their child, there were some things
she must say now. If she didn’t say them now, she may never get the chance.
