Most folks with mental health issues typically didn't admit they got a problem, mainly because lots of them didn't even realize they had got one.
At this point, Marcus couldn't tell if last night's therapy did any good for Cornelia. He had to be harsh, "Cornelia, you gotta understand, people with mental health issues ain't cut out for the job of being my personal assistant."
"President Hartley, have I messed up at work or something?" Cornelia gripping her hands tightly, "If you want to fire me, just say so. No need to beat around the bush."
As Cornelia's face gradually turned pale at his words, Marcus thought she might have gotten her memory back. He gently patted her shoulder, his tone softening, "Cornelia, only by facing your past can you truly move on. And only when you've moved on, can you start a new life. I reckon that's what your dad would've wanted."
His voice was always deep and strong, like a shot of good medicine straight to Cornelia's heart. Tears trickled down her face, "Can I really let go? Would dad blame me?"
It was the first time Marcus had seen her cry since he'd known her. Her tears fell onto the back of his hand, searing his heart and leaving him at a loss, "Cornelia, don't cry."
"But my dad, he was trying to protect me. His first instinct wasn't to save himself, but me. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have died. It should've been me," Before last night, Cornelia didn't know she'd forgotten some things. She remembered her dad dying in a car accident, but she had forgotten that she was in that car too.
She had also forgotten that she watched her dad take his last breath.
What she remembered even less was that, before he died, her dad shielded her with his body and told her to forget the car accident and live a good life.
