Chapter 742 Can a Person Who Plays the Third Wheel Be Good-Hearted? "Penelope, I only have these two requests. I don't expect anything else. This shouldn't be hard for you, right? Your hatred forshould slowly fade away with my death." Penelope looked at him. "Your surgery isn't that dangerous. Why do you have to be so pessimistic?" "Because life is full of surprises; no one knows what will happen in the next second," Brent replied. "I need to settle my affairs in case I die, so I don't leave any regrets." "If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do." "Actually," Brent sighed, "Penelope, I feel like someone likeis better off dead than alive. I'm useless and only a burden to you all. I'd rather the surgery go wrong and I just leave, resolving the grudges between us and your mom, ending everything here and now." If he really died, Penelope would definitely help him with the two things he asked for.
If he survived, it would be difficult.
Especially letting Debra go.
Penelope replied, "I can agree to your first request. But the second one, I can't promise you." "Why?" Brent was shocked and sat up in bed, only to fall back heavily due to weakness. "Debra hasn't committed any unforgivable sins. Why won't you let her go?" "She is very likely the culprit who kidnappedyears ago," Penelope answered. "Until the matter is thoroughly investigated and her suspicion is cleared, I won't let her go!" Brent was stunned and looked at Debra. "How did you get involved in this?" "How would I know?" Debra quickly replied. "She insists on thinking that way. What can I do? I only have my words, and they don't seem to clear things up!" Debra was extremely flustered. No matter how hard she tried to stay calm, her panic was evident.

"Yeah, I'm not afraid." Brent frowned.
"See?" Penelope didn't need to explain further. "Do you think she's feeling guilty?" "Debra, do you have anything to do with Penelope's disappearance years ago?" Debra denied it without thinking. "No!" Brent still chose to believe her.
If she said no, then it was no.
"Penelope, I think there might be smisunderstanding," Brent said. "Debra is just a bit spoiled and has a bad temper, but she isn't a bad person at heart." Penelope found it amusing.
Someone who beca homewrecker wasn't a bad person at heart? If she was a good person, could she do something to destroy someone else's marriage? Forget it, not worth discussing.
"Did you callhere just to tellthis?" Penelope changed the subject. "Are you done?" Brent nodded.
"Then letask you, if your surgery is successful and you survive, how will you arrange your life afterward?" "I'll leave with Debra," Brent replied. "If she's still willing to follow me."

"Then I'll leave alone. Debra can do whatever she wants." Penelope looked at Debra with a smile. "Look at that, Brent is in such a miserable state, but he's still thinking about you. If he dies, he wants to secure smoney for you to ensure your retirement. If he lives, he wants to take you wherever he goes. His love for you is real!" Even though Brent saw through Debra's true nature, knowing she only loved his power and money and not him as a person, he still took care of her in every way.
If this wasn't true love, what was? If Brent weren't her father, if he hadn't cheated and betrayed his marriage, hurting Nicole, Penelope would have applauded this love! How rare! In this restless society, who else would think so much about another person? Debra didn't expect Brent to care so much about her.
She had always seen Brent as her support.
So when she was young, she used every means to capture his heart, staying by his side as his secret lover, giving birth to his daughter, and always maintaining a gentle and considerate image.
She knew what Brent liked about her, and she acted and pretended to be that way. Until now, Debra finally dropped the act and showed her true colors.

If Brent regained his power or even slightly improved his situation, he would leave her without hesitation. She underestimated his feelings! Debra felt a complex mix of emotions! She looked at Brent. "Do you really lovethat much?" "At this age, what's the point of talking about love? As long as you're doing well." Penelope watched coldly.
"I really don't know what you have that's worth Brent's concern," Penelope said, "Xque lucky. Many people never meet a soulmate in their lifetime, even though you bechis mistress." Debra lowered her head. "If he truly loved me, he wouldn't have keptas the other woman for over twenty years!"
"That's because he didn't have the ability. He had to rely on Nicole's family in every way. But he was m planning to give yo you a proper status.
Unfortunately, Isabella ruined everything, and you missed your chance." With that, Penelope turned and walked out. "Alright, you two can sort out your own mess." "Penelope!" Brent tried to call her back. "Where are you going?" "Do I need to report my schedule to you?" "You're going to see your mom, right?" Brent said. "You're already at the hospital; you wouldn't just cto see me." Penelope didn't look back. "Yes, I'm going to talk to her." Although they were in the shospital, Brent and Nicole's treatments were vastly different.
Nicole stayed in a high-end ward, in a private area, with caregivers andm head n nurses, receiving meticulous and comprehensive care. And Brent? He received the streatment as an ordinary person, having to do everything himself.
Moreover, Brent and Debra couldn't enter Nicole's ward. They couldn't even step into that building! It was nearly impossible for them to see Nicole! In Penelope's view, they were just returning to their original social circles.
