Chapter 1298
Hannan had racked her brains, thinking of anyone she knew who could confirm the news, but she was at a loss.
Then it hit her. She turned to the man at her side. “Steven, did you see the news about Marcus?”
Steven responded nonchalantly, “Yeah, I saw it’
Hannan asked, “He was your good friend. He’s gone now. Aren’t you even a bit sad?”
Steven replied. If being sad could bring him back, I’d be miserable. But it can’t.”
Hannah was left speechless.
Steven continued. “Are you worried about how Cornelia will take the news of Marcus’ death?”
Hannah nodded.
Steven said, “That woman’s got a heart as hard as a rock. She was the one who wanted a divorce from Marcus. Do
you think someone like her would be upset about his death?”

Steven tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry about her. She won’t be affected by Marcus’ death. She’ll be just fine.”
Hannah disagreed with Steven’s view. She held her phone in her hand, wanting to call Cornelia to ask about the
situation, but she didn’t have the courage to dial
Meanwhile, Grandpa Augustine had also seen the news about Marcus’ death.
He was pacing nervously in his room, wondering whether he should tell Cornelia about it.
Comelia was in the study, writing a script.
She would always get distracted by her phone while writing, so she had deliberately left it outside. There was also
no internet in the room.
She was still unaware of what had happened to Marcus.
After much thought, Grandpa Augustine went to the study, “Cornelia, you’ve been sitting all morning. You can’t go
on like this. Now that you’re pregnant, you need to exercise more.”
Comelia looked up at Grandpa Augustine and smiled, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I set a timer. I get up and walk around
every hour.” Grandpa Augustine said, “Let’s go have lunch then. I asked the chef to make your favorite dishes
today.”
Upon hearing that she could eat her favorite food, Cornelia’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Grandpa Augustine had arranged for a special nutritionist to strictly
control her diet.
It had been a while since she had eaten food she truly enjoyed.
While others felt miserable during pregnancy, Cornelia was different. She didn’t know if it was because she was in
good health, but she experienced almost no discomfort during her pregnancy, apart from feeling tired easily.
Abigail always said that the baby inside her must know she was having a tough time alone, so it was very
understanding and didn’t cause any trouble. A good little baby.
Hearing about the delicious food, Cornelia stopped working on her script.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe closed her notebook, “All right, let’s go eat.”
Grandpa Augustine gently stroked her head, “Cornelia…”
Cornelia asked, “Grandpa, is there something you want to say?”
Grandpa Augustine asked, “Do you really not have any feelings for Marcus anymore?”
Cornelia laughed, “Grandpa, what do I have to do to make you believe me? Do I need to swear an oath?”
Grandpa Augustine told her, “Marcus had an accident.”
Cornelia paused slightly, “What happened?”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Let’s eat first. I’ll tell you after we finish.”
Cornelia said, “Grandpa, it’s not fair to make someone curious and then not tell them.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “He…”
Cornelia said, “Grandpa, just say it. Whatever happened to him, it’s none of my business. I’m just listening.”
Cornelia’s tone was calm, her expression normal. Seeing this, Grandpa Augustine thought that perhaps she really
didn’t care about Marcus anymore.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Marcus is gone.”
