Chapter 1307
Cornelia couldn’t keep anything down. The doctors had to hook her up to an IV to keep her body functioning. This went on for two days, Cornelia kept throwing up whatever she tried to eat. She just couldn’t get the nutrients she needed from food.
Everyone knew that if Cornelia didn’t start eating soon, not only would her unborn baby be at risk, but her own life would be in danger too.
Grandpa Augustine and his gang tried everything but nothing worked. So, he sent for Zack and Abigail from Riverton to the Capital, hoping they could help.
In just a few days, Cornelia had become frail. Zack and Abigail were heartbroken seeing her like this. Especially Abigail, she was so upset she started crying, “Comelia, what the hell happened to you?
Cornelia was lying in bed, looking really off because she’d been surviving on IV fluids for the past two days. Her voice was weak, “Abby, Zack, what brings you here?”
Abigail wiped her tears away, then snapped, “What brings us here? If we didn’t come now, the next time we see you might be your and your baby’s funeral.”
It was harsh, but it was the truth.
Comelia forced a smile, “I’m sorry! I’ve made you worry again.”
Zack was both worried and angry, “Stop talking nonsense.”
Abigail hit him, “Keep it down. Don’t scare Cornelia.”
Zack said, “Cornelia, you’ve been through a lot these years. You’ve survived the hardest times. Now everything’s getting better, even if you don’t work for the rest of your life, you won’t have any problems. But look at what you’re doing? When did you become so stubborn? You’re hurting yourself over a man who’s not worth it.”
Cornelia said, “I’m not hurting myself over a man. I want to live, but…”
Cornelia knew better than anyone how precious life was. She knew that life was a one-time deal, no do-overs. She wanted to live, have her baby, and see the future with him. But for some reason, she just couldn’t eat. It was like her appetite was out of control, and she couldn’t manager her own digestive system.
Zack said, “Don’t leave us hanging. If you have any worries or concerns, tell us. We’ll help you.”
Comelia said, “Zack, Abby.”
Abigail grabbed her hand tightly, “Cornelia, speak up.”
Cornelia felt a little cold, she pulled her blanket up, then said, “I remember when I was very young, a fortune teller pointed at me and told my father that I would bring disaster. He told my father to get rid of me as soon as possible, or everyone around me would get hurt because of me.”
Abigail said, “You’re so silly, how could you believe that fraud?”
Cornelia smiled weakly, “Right, we didn’t believe him. My dad even chased him away with a broom. Three days later, my dad had a car accident when he was driving a taxi and left me.”
Zack and Abigail tried to comfort her, “Those were just coincidences, don’t overthink it.”
Cornelia said, ‘I’m not overthinking, just reviewing what happened over the years. My father, my mother, my grandma, they all died under abnormal circumstances. Can you still say that I didn’t bring disaster?”
Abigail responded, “If you really brought disaster, how come Zack and I are still safe and sound?”
Comelia said, “So, you’d better stay away from me in the future. My family members all died because of me. They’re all gone. You two might be next.”
