Chapter 262
Marcus caught her as she collapsed into his arms, gently patting her back, “Nelly you didn’t do anything
wrong, and you don’t need to apologize Forget the past and live your life, okay?”
‘No, I don’t want to understand. I just want you back Cornelia cried out non–stop, her body trembling
like a wounded animal
Marcus held her close, trying to comfort her. But it was useless She was trapped in a terrifying world,
lost within her own mind
In her haze, Cornelia was transported back to her childhood, back to the scene of the car accident Little
Cornelia lay in a pool of blood, watching helplessly as her father, also in a pool of blood, slowly closed

“Dad” Comelia coughed up blood, then lost consciousness
“Comelia” Marcus watched in horror as Cornelia fainted in his arms. His sharp gaze turned to Justin.
“Why is she like this?”
Justin promptly explained, “Mr Hartley, don’t worry. All her reactions are within my expectations Ineed
to awaken her deepest fears, so she can bravely face reality. Only by confronting it can we completely

the thom in her heart”
Marcus understood, but seeing Cornelia in pain still worried him if he could, he’d take on her pain, “Is
there anything we can do to lessen her suffering?”
“Mr Hartley. Thave some sedatives here” Justin took out a bottle of pills from his bag “Give her half a
pill first, and let her sleep. If she still remembers the accident when she wakes up, the rest of the
treatment should be much easier”
“Remember what I said Marcus picked up Cornelia and brought her to the second floor, setting her
down in her old bedroom.
Instead of giving her the pill right away. Marcus called for Dr. Dawson. “Check this pill, see what’s in it
He was extremely cautious. If the pill didn’t come from Dr. Dawson, he wouldn’t take it. And he wouldn’t
let Cornelia take anything from anyone else either.
After sniffing the pill and running some tests, Dr Dawson told Marcus, “Marc, this is a sedative. It has

Relieved, Marcus broke the pill in half and pushed it into Cornelia’s mouth, “Comelia, good girl, take the
medicine. You’ll feel better”
Perhaps the pill was bitter. As soon as Marcus put it in her mouth, Comelia spit it out
Marcus frowned ‘Get some water”
Dr Dawson quickly handed over a glass of water. Marcus tried to feed Comelia the pill with the water,
but she clenched her teeth, refusing to swallow
In desperation, Marcus tried an old and simple method. He took a sip of water, then gently kissed
Cornelia, giving her the water mouth to mouth
Feeling the water, Cornelia instinctively opened her mouth. Marcus quickly pushed the pill into her
mouth, then gave her a big gulp of water, successfully making her swallow the pill.
