Chapter 864
Cornelia gently placed her hand on his tightly gripped steering wheel and said softly, “No matter what happens,
remember you’re not alone, I’ll always be there with you.”
Her words filled Marcus with warmth and touched his heart, ‘Cornelia…”
He didn’t have the guts to tell Cornelia the truth, worried she’d fall apart before they got home, worried she
couldn’t handle such a blow. In the past, he was fearless, even towards death. But now, anything involving Cornelia,
even the tiniest thing, made him anxious.
This feeling of worry, born out of caring for someone, was both beautiful and painful…
Cornelia, I’m always here.”

happens, remember you have me, and I’ll always be there with you, till the end of time!”
Cornelia said, “We’ll always be there for each other. No matter what happens, we won’t part.”
Marcus, “Okay”
He stepped on the gas, hoping to get to their destination as soon as possible. If he couldn’t save Granny Rebecca’s
life, he hoped Cornelia could see her one last time to lessen any regrets.
Usually, this journey would take forty minutes, but today Marcus drove at full speed and arrived in half the time.
Patricia was already waiting at the door. Seeing their car, she couldn’t help but cry, “Cornelia, hurry up, your
grandma is waiting for you.”
Cornelia was a bit confused, “Patricia, what are you talking about?”
“Patricia…” Marcus didn’t let Patricia contínue. He immediately got out of the car, took Cornelia’s hand, and led her
into the house.
Cornelia seemed to realize something. She was a bit nervous and her steps were a bit shaky, but luckily Marcus was
there to steady her.
There was a crowd of people outside Granny Rebecca’s room. When they arrived, the crowd parted to let them
through. Marcus led Cornelia through the crowd and smoothly arrived at Granny Rebecca’s bedside.
Granny Luisa quickly made room, “Nelly, come here quickly, your grandma has something to say to you.”
Cornelia finally saw her grandma. Granny Rebecca was lying on the bed, her face as pale as transparent paper and
so thin it was just skin and bones. But she remembered that when she left a few days ago, Granny Rebecca was still
healthy, still joking with Patricia. How could she have become like this in just a few days?
“Grandma…” Cornelia sat next to Granny Rebecca’s bed, tightly gripping her hand, her voice trembling, “Grandma,
where do you feel uncomfortable? Can you tell me, please?” “Nelly…” Granny Rebecca struggled to make a weak

Cornelia said, “I’m here…”
“Marc…” Granny Rebecca made every effort, reaching out to Marcus, “Marc, come here too, I have something to
say to both of you…”
Marcus immediately stepped forward, his tall figure crouching in front of Granny Rebecca’s bed, “I’m here, go on,
I’m listening…”
Granny Rebecca grabbed his hand and placed it on Cornelia’s, “Marc, I’m entrusting Nelly to you. I hope you’ll
always treat her well. If one day, you find a girl you like and want to divorce Nelly, please tell her directly. Don’t hide
it, and don’t keep it from her. That’s the only way to minimize the hurt…”
Marcus made a solemn promise, “I swear, I’ll treat Nelly well all my life, I’ll only love Nelly, and I’ll never like any
other girl. I’ll never be irresponsible to her.”
