Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 126 At the palm of her hands

Renee was speechless.

She wondered if Marcelo came here with the intention of starting a fight.

Before the verbal confrontation escalated, Renee hastily explained, “Do you know the relationship between me and Sarah? Sarah is the lady inside.”

The crew–cut man hesitated for a moment and then said respectfully, “Miss Hudson, please come in.”

Renee was surprised. She was just a friend of Sarah’s, yet she was treated with such respect. It was evident that Marvin’s subordinates held Sarah in high regard.

Inside the ward, Marvin lay with bandages on his head, his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. However, even in slumber, he clutched Sarah’s hand tightly, as if afraid she might slip away.

“Uh…What happened?” Renee asked quietly. “You two…”

Sporting a helpless expression, Sarah even succumbed to a bit of emotional breakdown. “Marvin’s memories are in disarray and I got stuck with him.”

Ironically, Marvin remembered all his subordinates clearly, but he treated Sarah as his possession.

“What’s going on?” Renee whispered, careful not to disturb the sleeping Marvin.

“The doctor said he suffered a head injury with internal swelling. It might resolve after the swelling goes down.” Sarah sighed.

Yet, the doctor couldn’t predict when that would be.

Renee, at a loss, inquired, “What’s the plan now? His men are outside. Are you going to hand him over?”

Sarah was pondering the same thing.

However, Marvin was reluctant to leave. His loyalty to her was evident, his men clearly wary of her departure. “Mr. King, please withdraw your guards. Marvin’s team will ensure his safety, “Sarah stated firmly. “Thank you for your help these past days. I’m sorry for troubling you and I really appreciate what you’ve done.”

Marcelo gave a cursory nod.

He was involved solely for Renee’s sake.

“And what about you?” Renee asked, concerned.

“We’ll see how it goes, “Sarah sighed. “Repaying a debt, especially one tied to safety, is complicated.”

She couldn’t fathom why Marvin, who had saved her life, wouldn’t let her leave, despite not knowing him well enough.

Marcelo’s gaze lingered on Marvin. Even in sleep, Marvin seemed alert, like a hunter poised to strike.

It seemed almost absurd.
