Dr. Lester quickly shot Cornelia up with a tranquilizer, figuring she should be right as rain once she woke up. Marcus
held Cornelia in a tight grip, not saying a word, but everyone there could tell how much he cared for her.
Dr. Lester said. “Marc, Comelia will be fine. You can take her back to your room to rest

Yolanda responded, “Yes, sir

Cornelia was speechless When she asked him who the new assistant was last night, he didn’t answer Was it to
surprise her? Tahlia got approval from both Yolanda and Marcus in such a short time, Cornelia was happy for her,
