Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 427

to Marina.

“I have no appetite now.” Marina shook her head and refused.

“It’s just a glass of milk and won’t take much time. If you can’t finish it, at least have a few sips.

“Be good. When was the last time you ate something? At least drink some milk to fill your stomach.” Simon gently helped Marina up

Unable to dissuade him, Marina could only lower his head and take a few sips.

Before she was halfway through. Marina had already had enough.

Simon did not insist. He simply turned around and put the cup in his hand aside.

Then, he gently patted Marina’s back.

“Rest for a while if you’re tired. Just know one thing. That I’ll always be by your side, Simon whispered in Marina’s car.

During this period, Simon kept repeating this sentence. “I will always be by your side.”

Because he knew that the current Marina was in a very fragile state.

He had to keep reassuring her he would be around so she would not feel anxious. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Soon, Marina’s breathing became stable.

And Simon knew the medicine he had added to the milk was taking its effects.

He only lowered his head to look at her before gently placing her on the bed.

Then, he carefully covered her with the blanket.

Marina’s body was about to reach its limit.

If she did not rest now, her body might really collapse later.

However, Marina was afraid to cut herself any slack.

Hence, Simon had no choice but to put something in her milk to help her sleep.

He hoped it would help her to have a good sleep.

After confirming that Marina was sound asleep, Simon strolled out of the room with light steps.

Outside the room, Gavin was still waiting for him.

The two of them went to the living room as usual.

“What news do you have? Simon asked in a low voice.

“We’ve found the Nighthawks‘ stronghold, Gavin replied.

Simon’s expression changed when he heard what Gavin said.

Then, he instructed in a deep voice, “Bring more people over. You must find out the reason behind this.”

“Yes!” Gavin immediately replied.

Marina slept soundly.

She did not have those strange dreams.

Nor did she dream of Lambert and Peter.

It was as if she was lying on the surface of the water.

It was warm and comfortable.

When she opened her eyes, she was still in a daze.

It was not until she wanted to move her body that she realized someone was hugging her tightly.

She looked up and saw Simon’s sleeping face.

From her angle, she could see the stubble on his chin.

There were also dark circles under his eyes.

Marina reached out slowly and gently stroked the corner of his eyes.

She was not in her best condition during this time.

However, Simon did not say anything and merely stayed by her side.

If she did not sleep, he would not sleep either.

He had been doing so many things for her without a word.

What a fool.

“Hey, are you awake?” Simon’s voice pulled Marina back from her straying thoughts.

“Did I wake you up?” Marina asked apologetically.

“No, I’m already up.” Simon denied in a low voice. Then, he closed his eyes and kissed Marina on her forehead.

“What time is it?” The curtains in the room were drawn.

And Marina could no longer determine the time based on the light outside.

Simon slowly opened his eyes and turned around to pick up his phone.

“It’s still early. If you’re tired, you can sleep a little longer.”

Marina looked up at his phone

It was only five o’clock in the morning.

It was still early.

But then, Marina suddenly flinched.

“When I fell asleep last night, it should have been in the afternoon, right?”

“So I slept from yesterday afternoon to this morning?” Marina was a little surprised.

“You’re just too tired.” Simon did not think much of it.

He had actually thought that Marina would sleep a little longer.

“No, I can’t sleep anymore. I still have a lot of things to do.” Marina prepared to get down from the bed.

However, as soon as she got up, Simon pulled her back onto the bed again.

“You don’t have to worry. Gavin has already settled the matter with Nighthawks. How could Simon not know what Marina was thinking?

“What did you say?” Marina was stunned.

“While you were sleeping. I asked Gavin to make a trip, Simon said.

“Did he find anything?” Marina asked anxiously.

After all. Nighthawks had kidnapped Sharon.

And Sharon was like Lambert’s shadow, always following him everywhere.

The people from Nighthawks might know something.

“There aren’t any useful clues. The Nighthawks said they picked up Sharon by the sea.”

“They thought she was just a stowaway. They found her quite good–looking, and brought her back.” Simon explained.

“Is that all?” Marina could not help but look a little dejected when she heard that.

She had painstakingly uncovered a clue, hoping that it would be useful. But that was it?

“However, the staff in charge of taming Sharon said that Sharon kept iterating some words,” Simon added.

“What did she say?” Marina felt another glimmer of hope.

“That person doesn’t know Calirinan, so she could not describe it well. She only remembered a few vague pronunciations.”

“She believed Sharon mentioned something about a ship or a master,” Simon told Marina everything they had found out.

“Master. That was how Sharon always called Lambert.”

“Ship? Like a cruise ship?” Marina frowned.

“I’m not too sure about that. I think it might be a boat. After all, they had found Sharon on the beach.”

“So was Lambert. Something might have happened to them at sea.” Simon did not say too much about Lambert.

He did not want Marina to get sad again thinking about Lambert.

“Then let’s go out to sea!” Marina exclaimed.

“I’ve already sent someone there. But I did not find any clues.” Simon looked a little apologetic.

Marina looked crestfallen upon hearing what Simon said.

Still no clues?

Boat?

What was Lambert doing on a boat?

What was he trying to do?

Was he going to make a deal?

If he was making a deal, then there must be another party involved.

“I thought of something.” Marina’s mind suddenly lit up.

She immediately jumped out of Simon’s arms.

She got down the bed speedily and sat in front of her computer.

Her fingers danced on the keyboard.

Simon followed her and got down from the bed, too.

However, he kept quiet so as not to distract Marina. He just stayed by her side without a word.
