Chapter 1183
Cornelia snapped back to reality, hastily tearing off Marcus’ sleeve to bandage his wound. Luckily, Zavier didn’t get
the chance to fire a second shot. Ayden was the first one to rush in and subdue Zavier, followed by the airport
security, who managed to control the situation and set up a cordon. Thankfully, Dr. Lester was also there, he
immediately took out his medical kit and treated Marcus’ wound
Marcus wasn’t seriously injured, just a few scratches on his skin, but Cornelia was teary-eyed with worry. “Jeremy,
you big dummy! Don’t you realize how dangerous it was? You could have been killed if that bullet was off by just a

Cornelia kept scolding Marcus for being a fool, her eyes filled with tears.
Marcus pulled her into his arms with his unharmed hand, “Silly girl, it’s because you’re my wife. I’ve heard people
say, ‘the husband should take care of his wife”
Cornelia mumbled, “That’s old-fashioned.”
Marcus shook his head, “I don’t think it’s old-fashioned, A husband should be able to withstand any danger. Even if

Cornelia said with emotion, “You can’t be so reckless in the future.”

Austin drove them straight back to Celestial Chateau.
Cornelia was tired and fell asleep in Marcus’ arms during the ride.

leaning towards her.
His lips just happened to land on hers, and Cornelia took the opportunity to kiss him.
Marcus propped himself up, not allowing her to get her way, “I haven’t showered yet.”
Cornelia tugged at his shirt, her hand quickly slipping inside, “How about we shower together?”
Why would Marcus have a reason to say no?
