Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 276

Then you can just talk to him nicely. Why are you being so aggressive? Don’t tell me you want to compete with me and see who can be more aggressive!” Marina glared at Jaord angrily.

She stood firmly on Simon’s side.

“I think you’re being incredibly foolish. You’re so charmed by him that you can’t think straight. Look at what you’re saying. Is that something a sane person would say?” Jaord was so angry that his chest rose and fell.

“So what if I am? Do you have a problem with that?” Marina looked at him threateningly.

Jaord immediately stopped talking.

“My nephew wasn’t even three when his father disappeared, and his mother died six months later.”

“In the beginning, he cried almost all day and night.”

“He refused to eat or sleep. He was always asking for his parents.”

I’ve tried everything I could think of, but I just couldn’t calm him down.”

“After that, he fell seriously ill and had a high fever.”

“After he recovered, he forgot those memories. It was only then that he began to grow up like a normal child.”

“All these years, I’ve never told him about his parents.”

“He doesn’t know that his father is still alive.”

“It’s probably because I spoil him too much and think he lost his parents when he was young, so I’ve never been very strict with him.”

“So, because of that, he has become somewhat ignorant and inexperienced. Moreover, he lacks the sense of responsibility that a man should possess.”

“Even though I don’t fully understand the concept of deep consciousness that you’re talking about, I do understand that it’s very risky to transfer your consciousness into someone else’s mind.”

“Consider it my selfishness as an uncle. That child is already very pitiful. Let me take responsibility for these things for him.”

Simon explained with a cold expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a strange silence.

Everyone’s eyes fell on him.

A complicated expression appeared in Marina’s eyes.

Jaord moved his lips and only spoke after a long while.

“As a bystander, I do admire your sense of self–sacrifice.”

“But as a doctor, I still hold my original opinion”

“This treatment is indeed very dangerous. I can’t deny that.

“But because of the danger involved, I suggest we allow the person with the strongest connection to Edward to enter his

consciousness.”

“Even though Edward is in a coma, his subconscious remains active.”

“For instance, imagine the person you care about the most is in immediate danger right before your eyes, and you find yourself in a desperate situation.”

“But at that moment, you will still be able to unleash your limitless potential.”

“Because human potential is immeasurable.”

“I can’t guarantee that Edward will save you when you’re in danger, but I can assure you that when his son is in danger, he will definitely risk his life to save him.”

“Please take some time to carefully consider my suggestion. If you cannot agree, I will not proceed with the treatment.”

Jaord left after saying that.

The room fell silent.

Marina walked up to Simon and gently held his hand.

She didn’t say anything and just quietly accompanied him.

It was as if she wanted to give him some strength in this way.

Jaord and Simon disagreed.

Therefore, the treatment could only be temporarily interrupted.

In Simon’s study.

Simon had been staring at the document in front of him for a long time.

In fact, he had been sitting here for almost an hour.

However, he didn’t even turn a page of the document in front of him.

Marina let out a long sigh and walked

up

to him.

She sat on his lap.

Simon, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality.

He wrapped his arms around Marina’s waist.

“Why? Are you tired?” Simon asked in a low voice.

Marina shook her head, then reached out and gently placed her hand on Simon’s tightly furrowed brow.

“Actually, I also agree with Jaord’s suggestion,” Marina said gently, only speaking after she had smoothed out the crease between Simon’s eyebrows.

When Simon heard this, he subconsciously wanted to say something.

But Marina didn’t give him a chance and spoke again.

“Don’t dismiss me so quickly. Let me share my opinion first.”

Simon looked at Marina in front of him and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Then, he waited for her to finish her sentence.

“Actually, I understand how you feel. As an older person, I really cannot bear to see a younger person take such a risk.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“I’ve also had a few encounters with Robert. I won’t deny that you mentioned that he can be a bit spoiled.”

“After all, if he wasn’t such a spoiled child, I wouldn’t have beaten him up and sent him to the hospital the first time we met.

“But you said he was irresponsible. That’s a little hard for me to admit.”

“He’s the young master of the Hernandez family, your biological nephew.”

“Even though I beat him so badly, he didn’t cry and ask you to avenge him, did he?”

“He knew he was in the wrong, so even though he was in the hospital for over half a month, he didn’t make a single complaint.”

“And when he saw me later, he didn’t hold any grudges against me for what I had done to him.”

“How can a child like that be irresponsible?”

After Marina had finished speaking, a flicker of emotion crossed Simon’s face.

“He grew up with you, and you protected him from all threats and removed all obstacles for him.”

“But he is a Hernandez. He shares the same bloodline as you.”

“I believe that he is definitely not a weak and incompetent person.”

“And this is his best chance to mature.”

Marina played with Simon’s hand as she spoke.

Then, she gently intertwined her fingers with his, their hands joining together.

“Simon, you can’t protect him forever. It’s time for him to learn and become an adult now.”

“And we have to learn to let go.”

Let go?

When Simon heard this word, his lips could not help but tighten.

“And most importantly, I will always be by your side!”

“You won’t be alone anymore. I will always be with you!” When Marina said this, her expression was extremely firm.

After hearing this, the emotions in Simon’s eyes became especially intense.

“Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, I won’t leave you alone.” Marina looked at him with a smile.

Simon gritted his teeth and pulled Marina into his arms.

He hugged her tightly.
