Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 261

“Why did I suddenly feel a bit sleepy? I wanted to go to sleep, Marina murmured as she closed her

eyes.

Noticing her timid expression, Simon could not help but smile even more widely.

However, he refrained from disturbing her and tidied up her blanket. Leaning down, he gently kissed

her forehead.

“Rest well. I’ll be outside. If you need anything, remember to call me,” Simon reassured her.

*Go away. I want to sleep. Don’t disturb me,” Marina dismissed him with closed eyes.

Chuckling lightly, Simon teased, “You, heartless little girl,” before leaving the room.

As soon as the door closed. Marina, who had been pretending to be asleep, could not resist opening

her eyes.

However, it seemed she opened her eyes a little too late. She only caught a glimpse of a small part of

Simon’s attire as he exited the room.

When his figure completely vanished from the doorway, Marina withdrew her gaze and shifted her

attention to the ceiling.

She pondered to herself, “Once my injury heals… I should have fully recovered in about another half

month. By then, it will be close to my grandfather’s birthday. I recall Simon mentioning that he would

propose to me formally during the birthday banquet. Hopefully, everything will be fine by then…”

Marina unconsciously bit her lower lip and suddenly recalled the night in Solemwood.

That night, she had been drugged, and her consciousness was hazy.

However, she still retained some vague memories of what had happened.

She remembered the sensation of Simon’s strong and powerful arms, his slender waist, and his deep

breaths when he was emotionally moved. “Hmm… I shouldn’t dwell on it. I shouldn’t!” she scolded

herself internally.

Marina pulled the blanket over her head, feeling that if she continued down that train of thought, she

a per vert.

In the subsequent days, Marina continued to recuperate under Simon’s care. It was like living in a fairy

tale, where everything was catered to her needs.

Furthermore, she had a special human pillow to cuddle with each night, making her reluctant to leave

his warm, comforting embrace.

Three days later, Yenny noticed something amiss. Despite changing the bandages regularly, there

seemed to be no improvement in his condition.

It was not due to the pain he felt but the lack thereof. He felt no pain at all, which raised Yenny’s

concerns. As a result, he summoned his private doctor to examine his hand.

“My hand used to ache a bit after applying the medicine, but these past two days, I haven’t felt any pain

at all. What’s even more concerning is that my flexibility has significantly decreased compared to

before,” Yenny shared with a sense of worry, glancing at the doctor in front of him.

“Mr. Pembroke, please don’t worry. Since your hand is in a cast, your mobility will be limited. Let me

examine it first.” The personal doctor carefully removed the cast from Yenny’s hand, cleaned the

ointment off, and conducted a brief assessment.

To the doctor’s astonishment, he discovered that Yenny’s hand had experienced a notable reduction in

sensitivity, causing tlie doctor’s eyebrows to furrow instantly.

Yenny keenly noticed the change in the doctor’s demeanor and asked, “Is this condition normal?”

*Mr. Pembroke, I believe it would be best for you to undergo a comprehensive examination at the

hospital. We lack the necessary equipment here, and it’s challenging for me to make a definitive

judgment, the doctor stated, his words expressing urgency.

Upon hearing this. Yenny promptly got into the car and accompanied the doctor to the hospital.

After the examination results were available, the doctor was taken aback and hurriedly relayed the

findings to Yenny.

“Mr. Pembroke, based on our examination results, your hand’s nerves have sustained some damage.

In severe cases, your hand may lose its autonomy in the future,” the doctor reported.

Upon hearing this, Yenny’s expression immediately darkened, and he swiped the documents off the

doctor’s desk in

frustration.

Yenny’s assistant quickly interjected, “How is this possible? During the previous examination, the

doctor said that Mr. Pembroke’s arm only had some minor fractures and would recover within two days

of wearing a cast. Did you make a mistake somewhere?”

“This is not a mistake. I have conducted several examinations, and the results are consistent,” the

doctor’s voice trembled slightly.

“Then, is there any treatment for this? Since you have identified the problem, immediate treatment

should be pursued!” the assistant urged.

“Well… The doctor hesitated, his voice faltering.

“What’s with your reaction? Can it be treated or not?” Yenny’s gaze bore into the doctor, piercing like a

knife.

The doctor’s legs almost gave way, and he stammered an apology.

“How could you not know? Haven’t you already received the examination results?” The assistant’s face

paled as these words. escaped his lips.

“Our results have revealed indications of nec rosis in Mr. Pembroke’s hand nerves, but we are unable

to determine the cause. We are currently narrowing down the potential reasons,” the doctor explained.

“Because there are many reasons that could result in this condition. We’re still screening the

possibilities.” Doctors were most afraid of communicating with family members.

The most daunting aspect of being a doctor was communicating with patients of such high status and

standing.

“How long will it take?” Yenny fixedly stared at his left hand.

“We cannot guarantee the duration of this process, but we assure you it will be as expedient as

possible, the doctor raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“As soon as possible? How soon is that? Do you expect me to wait until my hand is completely useless

before you come up with a treatment plan? Yenny clenched his teeth.

You see, the realm of medicine is an extensive and enigmatic process. In fact, numerous known

diseases defy cure, let alone this particular illness where the cause eludes us.

“We spend so much money yearly to hire you as a private doctor, and all you can say is sorry?!” The

assistant appeared prepared to engage in a physical confrontation.

“I… I will do my utmost to find a solution expeditiously and exert every effort to save Mr. Pembroke’s

hand…” The doctor’s back was already drenched in sweat.

“If my hand cannot be saved, then I’ll render both of your hands useless. Not only you, but your family

won’t escape either!” Yenny maintained a calm and composed voice as he looked at the doctor before

him.

There was no emotional fluctuation on his face, not even a hint of gravity in his voice. However, his

gaze made the doctor

feel like he was descending into hell.
