Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 496

Marina did not sleep well.

In her dream, she felt that she was haunted by many demons and monsters.

She vaguely saw Jessica.

Jessica looked like she wanted to say something to her.

However, Marina could not hear her voice.

She wanted to follow Jessica, but the distance between the two of them remained.

In the end, she could only watch Jessica’s figure disappear from her eyes.

“Jessica!” Marina was woken up while shouting Jessica’s name.

Simon, who had been by her side, hurried forward.

“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Marina was still in a daze.

Her lips were slightly parted as she panted heavily.

Seeing her like this, Simon did not ask any more questions.

He immediately turned around and poured a glass of warm water for Marina.

“Drink some water.”

After drinking a cup of warm water, Marina felt her consciousness returning a little.

“How long have I been asleep?” Marina asked as she handed the cup to Simon.

“It’s been almost a day,” Simon said slowly.

“A day?” Marina did not expect to sleep for so long.

“You’ve been too tired recently. I didn’t have the heart to wake you up when I saw you sleeping soundly. I didn’t expect you to have a nightmare.” Simon suddenly felt that he should have woken her up earlier.

Marina raised her hand and pinched her glabella which was still a little swollen and painful.

Then, she asked in a deep voice, “How’s Peter doing?”

“My men have been following him. He’s been searching for Jessica at sea. So far, no one has found any traces of him,” Simon explained.

When Marina heard this, her anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

“How long have we been here?” Marina asked again.

“It’s been almost twenty days.”

Twenty days?

The best resuscitation time was in three days.

A week was already the limit.

If Jessica was fine, she would definitely think of a way to reach them as soon as she woke up.

But twenty days had passed.

They didn’t find any clues about Jessica.

Jessica did not contact them either.

Was there really no miracles?

Would Jessica end up just like Lambert?

If that was the case, then Peter…

Just as Marina was worried sick, the phone by her side suddenly rang.

It was Simon’s phone ringing.

The caller ID was Gavin.

Simon immediately picked up.

11.426

“Mr. Hernandez, Mr. Moore’s situation doesn’t seem right. We wanted to bring him back, but he refused our approach and even injured our people!”

On the other end of the line, Gavin’s tone was especially serious.

“Where are you guys now?” Marina, who was beside Simon, heard Gavin’s voice.

“I’ll send the location over now.” Through the phone, Marina could hear the commotion on the other side.

As soon as the call ended, Marina received a new message.

It was a location.

“Let’s go now!” Marina said without any hesitation.

She stood up and walked toward the door.

Simon followed her quickly.

When the two of them arrived at their destination, Gavin and his men were grappling with Peter.

However. Peter’s eyes were bloodshot, and there was a hint of bloodlust on his face.

It seemed like he had lost his mind.

On the other hand, Gavin was afraid of hurting him, so he was overcautious when taking action.

There was already a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and they could not use weapons.

Quite a number of Gavin’s men had been knocked down.

Even Gavin himself was injured.

“What’s going on? Why did Peter suddenly lose control?” Marina quickly walked to Gavin’s side.

“We don’t know what’s going on either. We’ve been following Mr. Moore for the past few days and accompanying him to find Mrs. Campbell’s whereabouts.

“He was fine before this, but half an hour ago, Mr. Moore suddenly said that his head hurt a little. Then, he was about to lose

1. it.

“The people on our side are no match for him at all. I was afraid that it would cause other chaos, so I called you guys,” Gavin quickly explained.

Meanwhile, Peter seemed to have noticed the commotion on Marina’s side.

He immediately raised the man in front of him and smashed him to the side.

Then, he quickly rushed toward Marina and the others.

Simon immediately protected Marina behind him and then attacked Peter with all his might.

However, with Peter’s comprehensive improvement in all aspects of his body, it was a little too difficult to tangle with him.

Even Simon could not gain the upper hand in a short period of time.

Certainly, Marina would not allow herself to stand by and watch. She immediately joined the battle.

“Your body hasn’t recovered yet. Don’t come over!” Simon said in a deep voice.

“In his current state, you can’t bring him under control. The two of us working together might have a shot.” Marina said in a firm tone.

Simon, who still wanted to say something to persuade Marina, gave up when he saw Marina’s expression. He knew that nothing he said could change her decision. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Hence, he pursed his thin lips and did not say anything else.

With Marina’s involvement, the situation of the battle was slightly reversed.

In addition, the two of them had a tacit understanding. With exquisite cooperation, they finally managed to subdue Peter.

Marina immediately found an opportunity and struck the back of his neck.

Peter immediately fainted.

“Hurry up and bring him back!” Marina panted as she looked at Gavin beside him.

“Yes!” Gavin replied and immediately stepped forward.

“Are you alright?” After Peter was taken away, Simon looked at Marina worriedly.

Marina shook her head.

“It’s probably because my body hasn’t fully recovered that my physical fitness feels much worse.”

If it was in the past, she wouldn’t have tried so hard.

“I’ll bring you back to rest. Simon supported Marina’s body.

“Alright…” Marina nodded, leaning against Simon.

They made it back to the hotel.

As soon as they were back. Marina carefully examined Peter again.

The results of the examination showed that there was nothing wrong with Peter’s body.

So why did he lose control of himself?

Marina pinched the part between her eyebrows as she looked at Peter on the bed.

For safety reasons, Marina had his hands and feet tied up.

This way, when he woke up, even if he lost control, they would be able to control him.

And Marina had been staying by his side the entire time.

It was not until midnight that Peter woke up.

Seeing him wake up, Simon immediately pulled Marina behind him.

He looked warily at Peter in front of him, ready to defend at any time.
