Chapter 26 “Ayden, thanks a bunch!” If he hadn’t shown up just in time, Cornelia felt like she might’ve been in big trouble. Ayden didn’t pay her any mind and vanished into the night. After Ayden left, Cornelia still needed to continue shopping. She walked cautiously, scared of running into another stray dog Luckily, she didn’t encounter any more danger and managed to buy the products she needed, then made it back to the hotel safely. When Cornelia returned to the hotel, she saw Dr. Dawson waiting by her door, seemingly for quite some time. She remembered that Dr. Dawson hadn’t come with them, but now he was here too.
The mother and son duo were like two peas in a pod Dr. Dawson said with a smile, “Marc was worried about your injury and asked me to come check on you” Cornelia invited Dr. Dawson into her room, “Sorry to trouble you again, Dr. Dawson” As Dr. Dawson carefully examined Cornelia’s wound, he said, “You were really quick on your feet this time, saving Mare. If he’d been hurt, the consequences could’ve been severe. From now on, don’t be shy with me. If you want me or my son to do something, just say the word.”
Cornelia asked, “Dr. Dawson, when did you guys get here?” When Dr. Dawson first met Cornelia, she thought she was a great girl, and she even saved Marcus. So, she didn’t treat her like an outsider at all, “Our mission is to serve Marc. Wherever he goes, we follow.” Cornelia understood that they had been with Marcus all along, just out of sight. Dr. Dawson treated Cornelia’s wound again and noticed the products she bought, “Your period started?” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Cornelia nodded, “Yeah, it came early by almost two weeks.” Dr. Dawson previously thought Cornelia’s pale face was due to her arm injury, but now she realized the real reason, “It’s your first time in a high-altitude area, your body might not be used to it yet, causing your
period to be irregular. I’ll prescribe you some pain relievers, but don’t take too many.” Cornelia nodded, her arm and stomach both aching so much that she didn’t have the energy to speak. Dr. Dawson poured her a cup of hot water. “You take the medicine first, then try to rest as soon as possible. If you still feel unwell, don’t hesitate to find me.” “Okay…” After taking the medicine, Cornelia, clutching her stomach, listlessly crawled into bed. ‘Rest well. Dr. Dawson tucked her in and left the room. Exiting Cornelia’s room, she addressed the right side of the balcony, “Cornelia’s injury is stable. Her pallor might be from the scare from the stray dog earlier, and discomfort from her menstrual cycle In the darkness, Marcus slowly emerged, “Since when do I need to know about my assistant’s period?” Dr. Dawson replied, “Consider it me being nosy” It was actually someone who saw Cornelia’s pale face and asked Ayden to follow her, then called Dr. Dawson to wake him up, but now he was playing dumb. Marcus said, “You worked hard tonight.” Dr. Dawson replied, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll stay by her side until dawn to ensure her safety.” Ayden also arrived, his face devoid of emotion, stating, “President Hartley, I’ve confirmed that the landslide resulted from the villagers setting off fireworks, not an intentional attack on you” Marcus didn’t say anything else, lit a cigarette, and gazed at Cornelia’s door
