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 nket. 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 toote. She only caught a glimpse of a small part of


    Simon’s attire as he exited the room.


    When his figurepletely 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 nket over her head, feeling that if she continued down that train of thought, she


    would start feeling like


    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,forting embrace.


    Three dayster, Yenny noticed something amiss. Despite changing the bandages regrly, there


    seemed to be no improvement in his condition.


    It was not due to the pain he felt but theck 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 decreasedpared to


    before,” Yenny shared with a sense of worry, ncing 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 aprehensive examination at the


    hospital. Weck 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 apanied the doctor to the hospital.


    After the examination results were avable, the doctor was taken aback and hurriedly ryed 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 exined.


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


    possibilities.” Doctors were most afraid ofmunicating with family members.


    The most daunting aspect of being a doctor wasmunicating 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 ispletely useless


    before youe up with a treatment n? 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 particr 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 andposed 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.
