Marcus held Cornelia tight, about to tell her that this was no dream, but he couldn’t bear to shatter her
illusion, hoping she could savor a few more minutes of joy. Cornelia lifted her head from his chest,
saying, “I need to see my grandma. If I don’t see for myself that she’s okay, I won’t be able to rest
easy.”
Marcus held her tighter, unwilling to let her go. “Cornelia, don’t.”
Cornelia gave him a smile, planting a kiss on his cheek. “I’m just going to check on my grandma. Once
I see she’s fine, I’ll come back and we can cuddle in bed. What’s got you all worked up?”
But Marcus still wouldn’t let go, “Cornelia…”
She raised a hand to his face, gently pinching his cheek and smoothing his furrowed brow. “Tell me,
what’s bothering you? We’re husband and wife, we need to talk about things. You can’t keep secrets
from me.”
Cornelia’s calmness only added to Marcus’ worries. He knew that sooner or later, she would find out
that her grandma had passed away. This wasn’t her dream. But he preferred to break the news himself
rather than have her hear it from someone else. “Cornelia, this is not a nightmare. Granny Rebecca
has passed away.”
Cornelia immediately flared up. “What the hell are you talking about! I’m warning you, even as a
couple, there are certain things you can’t just spout off. If you keep talking rubbish, I’m going to be pis
sed.”
Marcus knew she was in denial, refusing to accept that Granny Rebecca was gone. She thought
everything happening was just a dream. She convinced herself that once she woke up, all the bad
things would be gone, and that her grandma would still be there, nagging her to have kids with a smile.
Marcus said, “Cornelia, denial won’t solve anything. You have to face the fact that Granny Rebecca is
gone.”
Cornelia quickly pushed him away, jumped out of bed, and ran out. “Marcus, I’m warning you, stop
saying these things. This is just a nightmare, and I’m going to go check on my grandma.”
She ran so fast she didn’t even put on her shoes, stepping directly onto the cold marble floor and
heading downstairs. Marcus quickly picked up her shoes and chased after her.
At eleven o’clock at night, the house staff were usually off duty, but tonight, all the lights in the mansion
were on and everyone was bustling around. Seeing Cornelia, they all gave her sympathetic looks.
The staff was busy late into the night, and there were some people Cornelia didn’t recognize. Even
Zack and Abigail were there. When they saw Cornelia, they immediately came over. “Why are you
running around barefoot on such a cold floor?”
Cornelia asked, “What are you guys doing here?”
Abigail said, “Marcus called us to come and keep you company.”
Comelia pushed them away. “You guys should go home. I don’t need company. I need to be with my
grandma.”
They all knew Cornelia well and that she was in denial. They had seen how severe her denial could be,
so this time, they wouldn’t let her escape.
Zack said, “Nelly, we all know how important your grandma was to you. Her sudden passing is hard to
accept. But she’s gone, and that’s a fact you can’t deny.”
