Chapter 516

Marcus squinted, his contemplation evident.

“Are you implying only Leon possesses the expertise?” Marcus inquired.

Derek lowered his gaze, conceding, “I'll continue the search for another suitable doctor.”

Leon and Marcus found themselves at opposite ends of the spectrum. Should Leon's concurrence be obtained, Marcus would be

compelled to make substantial concessions.

It might necessitate Marcus to relinquish his position as the head of the Thomas Group.

Marcus might find himself begging Leon.

With a cigarette poised in his fingers, Marcus refrained from smoking, allowing the tendrils of smoke to dissipate as he placed it

“This morning, the attending physician emphasized the urgency due to potential complications,” Derek responded.

The room became suffused with an acrid cloud.

“What do you reckon her course of action would be if her grandmother died?”

Marcus questioned.

“You possess a deeper understanding of Mrs. Thomas than |,” Derek affirmed.

“Following the demise of her mother, Mrs. Thomas was nurtured by her grandmother, a relationship she holds in profound

Derek's unease was palpable.

Derek's intuition led him to believe that Marcus held genuine concer for Millie, as exemplified by his acquisition of the costly

“Is she fundamentally good or ill?” Marcus probed.

Derek grappled with his response to the enigmatic question.

He recognized the intricate nature of Marcus’ queries.

He covertly engaged with the Brown family’s servants for information.
