Hearing this, Mark slightly opened his eyes.
Cecilia then helped him take off his coat.
She searched his coat pockets for the medicine bottle. Instead, what she found were a few candies, which were her favorites.
She stared at them for a long time as a million thoughts began racing in her mind.
Meanwhile, Mark felt as though the world around him was spinning.
He gave her hand a slight squeeze as he lethargically looked up at her.
“Cecilia, is there a chance for us to go back in the past? You can call me Uncle Mark, like you used to, and I can treat you as my little girl.”
Even now that Cecilia was a mature woman, Mark still treated her as a little girl.
After saying that, Mark no longer had the energy to listen to her answer. Although his mind was only half-lucid, he still stubbornly held on to her hand. It was as though he was afraid that the moment he let go, all the warmth that he had worked so hard to build would dissipate into thin air.
The light around them was dim.
Cecilia had chosen this crystal chandelier herself-one produced in Ypsila and worth two million dollars.
She liked it very much because of its shiny and gorgeous appearance.

She thought it would look nice at home.
Although some things remained constant, the same could not be said about people.
She met his pleading eyes and stared at him in silence. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t bring herself to answer him.
After a while, Peter arrived with the doctor.
When Cecilia opened the door, she was somewhat embarrassed.
Thankfully, Peter broke the awkwardness first by saying, “Thank you.
He needs to preserve his health, but he’s clearly not taking care of himself!”
Cecilia forced a smile.
It was obvious that this doctor was completely dedicated to Mark.
After taking Mark’s temperature and performing a thorough physical exam, the doctor remarked, “It’s not that serious. Two injections should be enough to bring down his fever. However, that doesn’t change the fact he needs to be more careful in the future.”
After that, Peter helped Mark up and led him to his bedroom.
There, the doctor gave Mark an injection.
