Chapter 122 Very naughty

Renee hadn’t considered it before, but Marcelo’s question made li realize her actions, like her gentle nudge and whisper, were driven by guilt.

Today, Marcelo’s personal bodyguard team had been searching for Marvin, who was rushed to the hospital in Marcelo’s private jet.

Marcelo’s connections had been vital in ensuring secrecy and medical care.

Renee realized she had involved Marcelo in the Hill family’s affairs by using his resources to find Marvin. Now, by suggesting he leave alone, she felt like she was using Marcelo and then casting him aside.

Marcelo let out a mocking laugh. “Aren’t the doctors, nurses, and my bodyguards here to help? Come on, what’s the point of you staying here if you can’t assist with the surgery?”

“Why do you want me to come back? Can’t you sleep without me for one night.“Renee shot back.

The car fell into a brief silence.

His response was unexpectedly direct.

Renee, her eyes blinking and hands clenched, felt a surge of guilt. She avoided his gaze. “I’m sorry.I’ll be home tomorrow.I really need to stay with Sarah.Please understand.”

The surgery for Marvin lasted six hours, ending late into the night as the operating room lights finally turned off.

When the doors opened,Sarah quickly approached the doctor. “How is the patient?”

“The patient is out of danger for now. He’ll wake up after the anesthesia wears off. However, his head injury is severe and requires close monitoring.”

“Thank you. Thank you for your efforts.” Sarah’s tension eased at last.

She would be deeply indebted to Marvin if he didn’t make it through.
