“Cordelia? What’s the matter?” Annie looked at her. “Why are you spacing out?”

Cordelia snapped out of her trance and forced a smile. The more she listened to Annie, the more astonished she was.

She suddenly remembered what Marcus had asked her in the hospital ward. She had casually said that she hoped these people would never appear before her again, and Marcus’ “Got it” seemed to still echo in her ears.

Cordelia sucked in a deep breath and shook her head. How was that possible? How could Marcus have such an ability? It must be a coincidence!

“Cordelia, you’re here!” Another coworker rushed over anxiously.

“I finally found you. Why didn’t you bring your phones when you’re out here to talk?”

Cordelia was stunned. “Did something happen?”

“Someone’s here for you!” Her coworker pointed downstairs. “At the first floor’s lobby. The handsome young chap claimed to be your younger brother. He called you many times, but you didn’t answer! He looks quite anxious. Hurry and go have a look!”

Cordelia’s heart lurched up to her throat as it thumped.

Carter was a sensible child. Even if he was greatly wronged, he would not come to her workplace for her. Now that he was here in such a hurry, there was only one possibility…

“Carter!” Cordelia rushed downstairs. “What’s wrong? Did mom get worse?”
