Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 288

“In theory, that’s about right.” Before Simon Hernandez could speak, another voice sounded.

Marina Bailey turned around and saw Jarod Wendell coming out of the elevator.

“What do you mean by in theory?” Marina understood the underlying meaning in his words.

“Because of his nephew. I don’t know if there will be a next time. Jarod gave a sigh.

“What do you mean? Did something happen?” Marina’s gaze landed on Simon.

When she saw Simon coming out of the room just now, she noticed his demeanor was a little off– color.

Marina thought that it was because Simon did not manage to wake his brother Edward up that he was in such a state,

However, now, it seemed that it was not just because of Edward’s matter.

“His nephew is injured.” Jarod glanced at Simon and spoke on his behalf.

“Injured? How did he get injured? Weren’t all of you keeping watch in that place?” When Marina heard this, her tone became

somewhat anxious.

“It’s true that we were keeping watch in the place. I’ve already told you guys before. Things like entering other people’s consciousness are filled with all kinds of danger.

“His nephew was doing quite well at first, but just as he was about to succeed, for some reason, he was bewitched again.

“It wasn’t easy for me to pull him out, but because he stayed in his father’s consciousness for too long, he’s still unconscious right now.”

After Jarod finished speaking, Marina instantly frowned.

“It shouldn’t be a big issue, right?” Marina asked.

I’m not too sure about that now. We’ll only know when he wakes up,” Jarod said.

After Marina heard this, she turned her gaze to Simon again.

“Don’t worry. He will definitely be fine.” Marina stepped forward and held Simon’s hand.

“If only I had gone… instead…” Simon whispered.

“Hah! Who do you think you are? A god? Fortunately, it was your nephew who went in this time. If it had been you, I might not have been able to pull you out.”

Jarod’s sharp cars overheard Simon’s words, so he took the opportunity to mock him.

After all, this fellow was Marina’s lover.

Mocking him was equivalent to mocking Marina.

How could Jarod let go of such a good opportunity?

“Can you not talk so much?” Marina gave Jarod a warning look.

I’m just explaining his ignorance to him in layman’s terms.” Jarod gave a disdainful snort.

Then, he glanced at the grim–faced Simon.

“We didn’t really end up with nothing this time. When I woke your nephew up, I could clearly feel that the consciousness of your brother was trying to expel your nephew outside.

In a certain sense, half of his life was saved by his father.

“Besides, there are already some fluctuations in your nephew’s consciousness. I’ll check again later to see how he is doing.

“If his body is recovering well, we should be able to wake his father up if we go in again,” Jarod explained.

Of course, this was not because Jarod was afraid of Marina Bailey.

He just did not want others to misunderstand that he was incompetent.

“We’ll talk about it when he wakes up,” Simon replied in a low voice.

Robert Hernandez slept for three days.

When he woke up on the fourth morning, the room was filled with people.

When Robert saw Simon, a trace of guilt immediately flashed across his face.

“Uncle Simon, I’m sorry. This time… I failed again… Robert had just woken up, and he sounded like he was choking back his

tears.

If one listened carefully, one could even discern some hidden worries in the midst of his words.

Robert was afraid.

He was afraid that Simon would not let him enter his father’s consciousness again.

However, Simon only said gently. You don’t have to apologize to me. You did very well.”

…Huh?” Robert had never been praised by his Uncle Simon before.

Now that he heard this praise, he didn’t quite know how to react.

“Jarod has already said that once you recover and enter your father’s consciousness again, you should be able to wake him. up.” Simon added.

“Uncle Simon, are you still willing to let me enter again?” Robert’s eyes lit up at once when he heard this.

“Why not?” Simon asked calmly in return.

“Because… I failed again, Robert said, his voice gradually getting softer toward the end.

“Who said you failed? You’ve only succeeded halfway. The remaining half will be completed after you recover.” Simon enunciated each word clearly.

“Alright! I will definitely get better soon!” Robert’s eyes had become a little red–rimmed.

“Mm–hmm, Simon replied in a low voice.

Thereafter, Simon did not disrupt Robert’s rest anymore.

He turned around and left the room.

All this while, Marina was tagging along right behind Simon.

Her gaze was fixed squarely on him all this while.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Simon felt a little awkward under her stare.

“I just didn’t expect you to agree to let Robert enter his father’s consciousness again.” Marina even thought that Simon would use his status as an elder to intimidate Robert and stop him from trying again.

Then she thought Simon would enter Edward’s consciousness in his nephew’s place.

After all, although Simon didn’t say it out loud, he still doted on his nephew.

“Didn’t you tell me that people have to learn to let go?” Simon gave Marina a glance casually.

“Not bad. You did well!” Marina was all smiles.

“Since you think I did well, can you tell me a little about your side?” Simon’s expression changed slightly.

“My side? What… about my side?” Marina was surprised.

I’ve noticed that you haven’t been yourself since you came back. Did something happen?” Simon held Marina’s hand and headed straight to the study.

After sitting on the sofa, he pulled her into his arms.

The distance between the two of them was instantly reduced to the minimum.

As she breathed in the chilly fragrance emanating from Simon’s body, Marina’s vaguely throbbing migraine seemed to case

a lot.

Hence, she simply buried her head in his shoulder.

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to tell me?” As he looked at Marina’s expression, Simon raised his hand and soothed her back.

Marina, who was lying in his arms, shook her head.

“Then what happened?” Simon was very patient. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Even his voice was extremely gentle.

“I just don’t know… how to tell you.” Marina’s voice was a little muffled.

“There’s no hurry. You can always tell me after you have thought it through. I’ll always be by your side anyway,” Simon whispered into Marina’s car.

Marina felt as if her heart was instantly filled to the brim with something.

The somewhat restless emotions she had earlier gradually calmed down at this moment.
