Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 329

However, by the time the elderly couple regained their senses, Yenny and Jessica had already

vanished.

Yenny did not leave the market as originally planned.

Instead, he found a secluded place and took out the antidote from the bag.

After opening it, he directly poured it into his mouth.

He didn’t care whether it was poison or not anymore.

All he wanted was to quickly alleviate the discomfort he was feeling.

He really couldn’t endure it anymore!

However, just as he was about to drink the antidote, Jessica, who had been silently waiting, seized the

opportunity and turned her head, running away to the side.

“Stop right there!” Yenny hurriedly went forward to chase after her.

After all, he still needed Jessica to escape from this situation.

Jessica hadn’t eaten anything in the past few days, and she was in pain from the kick she received

from Yenny earlier.

Her whole body ached severely.

She ran in a stumbling manner, but she didn’t stop for a moment. She desperately headed towards the

crowd.

She couldn’t afford to stay by that man’s side and wait for her doom.

She couldn’t let him continue to threaten Marina.

She had to escape at all costs!

Jessica ran forward with an unwavering belief. She kept pushing her body to the limit.

She kept running until her vision blurred, and her ears filled with a buzzing sound, yet she didn’t stop.

Just as she was about to exhaust her strength, she suddenly collided into a soft embrace.

Instinctively, Jessica lifted her head and saw Marina’s worried eyes.

“Jessica, are you okay?” Marina looked at Jessica with deep concern.

“Marina?” Jessica could hardly believe what she was seeing.

“It’s me. I’ve come to save you,” Marina spoke with a calm tone. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing those words, Jessica’s previously held belief crumbled in an instant.

She then collapsed to the ground.

“Jessica!” Marina quickly supported Jessica.

Then, without another word, she carried Jessia towards the exit.

Since Oscar and Lee were already after Yenny, there was no need for her to intervene.

Marina anxiously sent Jessica to the hospital.

By the time Peter arrived at the hospital, Jessica had just finished her examination.

She was sitting by the bedside, looking at Marina with a worried expression on her face.

“Marina, have you caught that person? He used me to threaten you, right?”

“The person has been captured, don’t worry. He can’t do anything to harm me, Marina soothingly

reassured her.

“That’s good. That man seemed mentally unstable, and I was particularly worried that he would use me

to blackmail you into doing something bad, Jessica said, finally feeling relieved.

“It’s my fault that you suffered,” Marina’s voice carried a hint of apology.

Ever since she learned that Jessica had been taken away by Yenny, she had been afraid that the

events of the past would repeat themselves.

Even though she knew that Chrislyn’s appearance was just a plot, their past experiences were real.

She didn’t know why, but during her period of amnesia, she became friends with Jessica.

It was not until she regained her memory that she understood why.

It was because, at that time, Jessica resembled their initial acquaintance, Chrislyn.

She was vulnerable and pitiful yet incredibly kind–hearted.

Jessica’s personality must have struck a chord deep within Marina’s heart.

This was the reason why they became friends.

Therefore, she was genuinely afraid that something would happen to Jessica, especially because of

her.

“You don’t have to apologize. We’re friends, right? Besides, you’ve helped me so much before. I

haven’t suffered any harm, so please don’t burden yourself.”

Jessica didn’t feel at all that Marina had caused her any trouble.

Instead, she was a little happy.

The kidnapper had targeted her to threaten Marina.

It meant that he acknowledged her significance by Marina’s side.

It was as if Marina’s concern for her had become known to everyone.

Upon hearing Jessica’s explanation, Marina couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“What kind of logic is that?” Marina expressed her helplessness.

“I’m telling the truth. If you didn’t care about me at all, they wouldn’t have kidnapped me to threaten

you.

“In that case, you have been too good to me,” Jessica said, hugging Marina’s hand.

“Alright, stop spouting nonsense. You should lie down and rest.” Marina’s heavy heart was relieved by

Jessica’s nonsense.

“Okay, Jessica replied. Looking at Marina, who had started smiling again, she obediently prepared to

lie down.

However, at that moment, someone pushed open the door of the ward.

Then, Peter rushed in anxiously.

As soon as he saw Jessica lying on the hospital bed, he immediately squeezed past Marina and held

Jessica’s hand tightly.

“Jessica, are you okay? Are you injured? How severe is it? What did the doctor say? Will there be any

sequelae?” Peter bombarded Jessica with questions.

Jessica didn’t know which question to answer first.

Meanwhile, Marina, who had been squeezed to the side, suddenly realized something she had

overlooked before.

She only stared at Peter in front of him.

Meanwhile, Jessica desperately tried to signal Peter with her eyes, urging him to let go of her hand.

But Peter, who had been worried all this time, couldn’t get Jessica’s signal at all.

He thought that Jessica was feeling unwell.

He quickly said, “Are your eyes not feeling well? Then I’ll go find a doctor for you now.”

Peter stood up as he spoke.

When he turned around, he saw Marina standing in front of him.

The air instantly fell silent.

“Marina? What are you doing here?” Peter quickly forced a smile.

“I’ve been here since you bumped into me just now,” Marina replied slowly, emphasizing each word.

“Oh? Did I… bump into you just now? I’m really sorry… I… didn’t see you…” Peter’s eyes showed a

hint of panic.

“I know. The way you were just now, it seems like you couldn’t see anyone except Jessica,” Marina

crossed her arms and stared at him with deep intensity.

Peter instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

He had indeed been overly worried just now.

So much so that he did not notice Marina at all.

“Tell me, when did this happen?” Marina’s gaze circled around Peter and Jessica.

“When did this… I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” Peter glanced at Jessica from the corner of

his eye.

Marina’s dark eyes narrowed instantly.

“Come out with me!” Marina turned around and walked out of the door.

Her departing figure clearly carried a hint of anger.

Oh no, oh no.

Marina was angry.

Peter’s head hung low, and he resigned himself to his fate and followed Marina behind.

“Peter…” However, Jessica, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly called out to him.
