Chapter 221 Not pregnant

Her words unraveled a mystery that had puzzled Renee since childhood. It turns out Naomi never loved her unconditionally. She was just like Rocco and Grace.

Now, she understood that she had been nothing more than a pawn for her Naomi, a means to secure wealth and prestige for the Hudson family.

It became clear why she always favored Catherine when their interests clashed.

Taking a deep breath, Renee tried to soothe her aching heart.

For a brief moment, an uncomfortable silence hung between them.

Naomi closed her eyes, as if she had used up all her strength fighting her illness.

“Renee, please don’t be mad at me…” Her words were muffled again by a relentless cough. “I did things I

didn’t want to do. That man threatened our lives if I didn’t comply!”

The door to the hospital room squeaked open.

Renee stepped out slowly, her gaze lost in the void.

Marcelo hurried to her side, his heart racing with worry.

“Baby, what’s wrong?”

For the first time, he used the term “baby” in front of others.

He catered to her every need, hoping to cheer her up.

He looked at her, his eyes filled with concern.

Bending down to meet her gaze, he saw her tears start to fall.

She rushed into his embrace, sobbing.

He gently stroked her hair, trying to offer some comfort.

Suddenly, a loud alarm sounded from Naomi’s room.

Doctors and nurses rushed in.

Minutes later, they emerged with grim faces to deliver the devastating news to Renee.

“The patient took off her oxygen mask and has passed away. We’re deeply sorry.”

Renee lifted her head, her tears flowing freely.

Rocco and Grace went to claim Naomi’s body from the hospital after they got a notice.
