Chapter 10

Dr. Dawson was busy mixing up some topical meds, while Cornelia was busy applying them to Marcus.

She was super focused and serious about it. Even though she had never been this close to a guy before, she didn’t feel awkward since. he was her patient.

Marcus’s face turned slightly red, but luckily, his redness from the severe allergy made it hard for others to notice his uneasiness.

After being married for over a year, he had only seen his wife on the day they registered their marriage. He had never been in such close. proximity to a girl before, so he felt a bit awkward and unsure of what to do.

After Cornelia left, Dr. Dawson couldn’t help but blurt out, “Marc, Cornelia seems like a great girl.”

Marcus, “You want her to be your daughter–in–law?”

Dr. Dawson went silent.

She didn’t even know why she had said that..
