Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 823

Chapter 823

Comelia didn’t even dare to voice her suspicion, it was such a monstrous thought. If someone had even an ounce of

sympathy left in them, they couldn’t possibly do such a thing to their own child

Cornelia desperately wanted Marcus to deny it, to tell her that she was mistaken, but instead, he nodded heavily

Comelia’s faith crumbled instantly, she could practically hear her heart shattering “So..”

“So I had him thrown in jail Marcus suddenly laughed, a cold, ruthless gleam in his smile. “If he dares to hurt

anyone I care about again, I won’t hesitate to chuck him back

in.”

“I’ll support you no matter what,” Cornelia said

That was all he needed to hear! That was exactly what Marcus wanted.

“He went after Bri when she was just a kid,” he continued. “That little thug locked her up in a cramped, dark room

The bastard didn’t even stop. Instead, he chucked a bunch of snakes in there with her Left her there for two days…

These were the things Marcus knew about. There were still things he didn’t know, things Briana was too scared to

mention even now.

Comelia reached out carefully pressing his large hand against her unswollen cheek. “Can we help Bri get through

this nightmare together?”

“Yeah,” he replied, the word rough and warm as it rolled off his tongue.

Cornelia turned her head, pressing a light kiss to the back of his hand. Marcus was surprised by her action, but he

quickly leaned in, seeking her lips, and kissing her softly.

Just as their lips met, there was a knock at the door. Cornelia tried to pull away in a panic, but Marcus quickly

caught her waist, pulling her back into his strong arms.

The kiss continued, sweet and gentle.

And the knocking continued. “Marc, Dr. Lester brought some anti–swelling meds. You should apply it on Nelly’s

face.”

The voice made Marcus let go of Cornelia. He gently touched her injured face, hardly daring to apply pressure.

“Does it hurt? Let me apply the medicine.”

“It doesn’t really hurt anymore.” Cornelia said

Marcus fetched the medicine from the door. He asked Cornelia to sit on the bed, squeezed some ointment on her

face, and gently spread it evenly with his finger. “You can’t be reckless like today. If you can’t fight, hide. You can’t

get hurt again.”

“I wanted to hide” Cornelia said. “But if I did, he would’ve hurt Bri. She is your sister, how could I let her get hurt?”

Before, Marcus always felt that Cornelia cared for Briana way more than him. From her words, he realized that part

of why she cared for Briana was because Briana was his sister. In other words, if Briana wasn’t his sister, she

wouldn’t be treated as she was now.

Without thinking. Marcus leaned in and kissed Cornelia again. The kiss lasted for a long time, until Cornelia felt a bit

dizzy

Their moment was interrupted by a phone call. The caller ID showed Hannah. Cornelia answered at once,

‘Hannah…”

“Hannah,” she said, “Can we go out for a drink? Just the two of us, no one else.”

Hannah sounded down, and Cornelia nodded. “Sure, where are you? I’ll come find you right now”
