Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 287

Marina Bailey’s lips moved. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that she could not say a single word. ·

She could only stare blankly at the woman in front of her.

The emotions in Marina’s eyes swayed violently.

“Marina, don’t be fooled by her. She’s not Chrislyn Neil!” When he saw Marina looking so lost, Alfredo Garcia hurriedly called out to her.

Only then did Marina pull herself together a little at this point.

She lowered her head and looked at Chrislyn’s hand, which was still holding her hand tightly.

Even this touch… felt so familiar…

“Marina, only you can help me. I beg you. Please help me… Chrislyn’s eyes were red–rimmed, but she tried her best not to

cry.

However, Marina did not speak for a long time.

She simply stared at Chrislyn without blinking.

“Marina, didn’t you say that you would always protect me?

“Didn’t you say that.. you would always stand on my side?” As Chrislyn looked at Marina’s reaction, her tears began gushing even more profusely.

These two questions only made Marina’s heart shudder violently.

These words were indeed what she had said to Chrislyn.

Morcover, Marina had said this in private to Chrislyn.

At that time, no one else was present.

What Chrislyn said was almost exactly the same words that Marina had said back then.

What… exactly was going on?

As Marina stood there in a daze, Alfredo Garcia suddenly rushed up from the side and pushed Chrislyn away.

“Stop using these lies that can be torn apart with just one poke to confuse others. Get out now!” Alfredo was very agitated.

Then, he started to congh repeatedly.

Toward the end, he coughed so hard that he could not even stand straight.

“Mr. Garcia!” When Marina saw this, she came back to her senses and hurriedly went up to support the elderly man’s body.

“Leave… Make her leave… Alfredo was almost out of breath at this moment.

Nonetheless, he still gritted his teeth and glared at Chrislyn opposite him.

… Leave first.” Marina struggled internally for a while before saying this to Chrislyn.

Chrislyn’s eyes became even more red–rimmed.

Tll go look for you,” Marina added after that.

When Chrislyn heard that, her eyes lit up at once. “Then I’ll wait for you at the usual place.”

After saying that, she looked at the villa in front of her reluctantly.

Eventually, Chrislyn turned around and left.

Chrislyn’s final phrase “at the usual place” made Marina’s heart tremble vehemently.

The usual place…

Chrislyn even knew the usual place.

Could it really be….

Just as this thought popped into Marina’s mind, Alfredo grabbed her hand.

“Don’t be fooled by her. She’s not Chrislyn Neil!”

Alfredo’s tone was extremely certain and it also made Marina snap out of her earlier reverie slightly.

“Mr. Garcia, I’ll help you back to rest first.”

When she saw how agitated Alfredo was, Marina did not bring up this topic again.

Alfredo was downright incensed just now. After returning to his room, he took his medicine and fell asleep right away.

However, Marina’s emotional turmoil had not subsided yet.

The main reason was that what happened earlier was really a little too shocking.

“Miss Bailey, I still have to give you a piece of advice. You must not go and meet that woman.

“You should know that our Mr. Garcia is not a heartless person. He must have his reasons for not letting our Mr. Jeffery get together with Chrislyn.

“Mr. Jeffery has been holing himself up in an alley house all these years because of Chrislyn Neil’s death.

“But just as he was about to let go of the past and come out of the alley house, Chrislyn Neil reappeared.

“How can there be such a coincidence in this world?

“Why did she appear at this time, of all time? Don’t tell me you also bewitched?” The butler looked at Marina worriedly.

“Tell Mr. Garcia not to worry. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly,” Marina said after calming herself down.

“There’s no need to investigate. Just pretend that you didn’t see that woman tonight. She died a long time ago!” The butler enunciated each word clearly.

Marina could not help furrowing her brows.

She didn’t accede to or reject the butler’s plea.

The butler looked even more worried when he saw Marina’s reaction.

“Miss Bailey, you must believe me. You must not go and meet that woman!” the butler repeated his plea.

“Got it. Go up and take care of Mr. Garcia first,” Marina finally replied.

“Mm–hmm.” When he heard Marina’s affirmative reply, the butler’s face relaxed at last.

In the car.

On the way back, Marina remained silent throughout.

She sat quietly in the back seat, staring intently at her hand.

This was the hand that Chrislyn held just now.

That feeling was exactly the same as when Chrislyn held Marina’s hand in the past.

She suddenly understood a little why Jeffery Garcia was so persistent.

He was even willing to risk his life.

After all, even Marina was starting to doubt her earlier judgment.

When the car stopped in front of Simon Hernandez’s villa, Marina was still lost in thought.

Oscar, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, gave her a gentle reminder.

“Miss Bailey, we’re here.”

Only then did Marina raise her head.

“Alright, you can go back first. Help me keep an eye on the Garcia family. Also, thoroughly investigate when that Chrislyn Neil appeared. Marina quickly pulled herself together.

“Yes, Miss!” Oscar immediately answered.

After issuing all the instructions, Marina opened the car door and got out..

As soon as she entered the villa, she headed straight for the basement.

Edward Hernandez’s door was still tightly shut. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Marina could not help furrowing her brows.

Wasn’t it over yet?

That shouldn’t be the case. She had been gone for a long time.

Just as Marina was about to push open the door and enter, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was Simon Hernandez.

When he saw Marina outside the door, he immediately adjusted the emotions on his face. “You’re back.”

“Mm–hmm. How’s the situation on your side?” Marina asked.

“Let’s go up fir, Simon said after a moment of silence.

From his expression, Marina could tell that the test had probably failed again this time.

After reaching the living room upstairs, Simon then explained the situation to Marina.

Just as she had guessed, Robert Hernandez still failed this time.

“However, Jarod Wendell said that although he did not succeed in waking up Edward this time, Edward’s brain waves are clearly much more active than before. In other words, he has shown some early signs of regaining consciousness,” Simon further elaborated.

“If that’s the case, will we succeed if we try again?” Marina asked.
