Chapter 712

Cornelia and Marcus were strolling in the yard. The weather today was blistering hot, and even as night fell, stepping out of an air–conditioned room felt like walking into a heatwave.

Marcus, who usually didn’t sweat much, was dripping sweat after only a few steps. In no time at all, his shirt was soaked through. “Cornelia…”

Cornelia quickly helped him sit on a stone bench nearby. It was then she noticed that Marcus looked off. His face and neck were flushed. “Does heatstroke make you feel weak and unable to walk?
