Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 283

“T…” Robert stuttered and was at a loss as he did not know how to provide an explanation as to what had happened.

All that Robert could do was lower his head

After a short while, Robert said, ‘Allow me to enter once more. This time, I will definitely complete the mission!”

With furrowed eyebrows, Jarod exclaimed, “Even if I let you enter ten times, it’s going to be in vain if you could not figure out your mistakes!TM

“I know what I had done wrongly previously. I won’t fall into those fake illusions anymore. I will definitely succeed, just like before!” Robert explained anxiously.

“No!” Jarod refused immediately without any hesitation.

I’m sorry about what happened, and I admit that it’s all my fault. I was not fully prepared just now. After what I had gone through earlier. I’ve gained experience and I will never make the same mistake again!” Robert reassured Jarod frantically.

Jarod frowned when he heard the pleading tone in Robert’s voice.

“Auntie Marina, please help me. I assure you that I will not behave in the same manner that I had done. Just now. I. I just couldn’t help myself and give in for a little bit. Auntie Marina, it really took a long while for me to be able to see that my father had returned. I can’t lose him again!” Robert’s voice was a little choked as he pleaded.

Hearing what Robert had said, Marina felt a little sorry for him.

Marina turned to look at Jarod who was standing in front of her.

The unspoken warning in Marina’s eyes was obvious from her gaze.

“Why are you staring at me like that? I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let Robert enter. It’s just that Robert had just gone in once and is still emotionally unstable. If Robert enters again immediately, it’s very likely that Robert won’t be able to come out of the other party’s consciousness.” Jarod explained.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Marina asked with a frown.

“I just want to teach Robert a lesson. I’ve already reminded Robert repeatedly to wake up immediately after hearing the bell.

“However, Robert turned a deaf ear to my advice. Robert completely ignored the bell and did not follow my instructions.” Jarod snorted.

Marina opened her mouth as she wanted to say something, but Robert stopped her.

“Auntie Marina, all of this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Jarod. You don’t have to blame him!”

Hearing Robert’s words, a glint flashed in Marina’s eyes as she found it weird.

“Robert’s really grown up so much in such a short period of time.

“Robert doesn’t want his family to stand up for him now, unlike what had happened in the past.” Marina thought to herself.

Since the person who was being scolded had no objections, Marina naturally wouldn’t have any objections either.

Hence, Marina bit back on the words that she wanted to say

Seeing that Marina did not intend to pursue the matter, Robert heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, Robert raised his head to look at Jarod and asked, “How long do I need to wait until I can try again?”

“The earliest would be at least three days later, Jarod replied.

“So long?” Robert couldn’t help but frown after he heard what Jarod had said.

“This is why I had reminded you repeatedly before. If you fail once, we have to wait for three days.

“Try

you fail again next time, we’ll have to wait six days. After that, we’ll have to double it in turn.

This is because the more you enter, the more easily you will lose your way. That’s why we need more time to stabilize your mental state.

“However, with your father’s current health condition, he would not be able to withstand going through this for a couple of times more. So, you’d better wake him up the next time you try. If not, your father might just leave us in his sleep. Jarod commented flatly without any emotions.

After all, Jarod was not related to Edward in any way.

In Jarod’s eyes, Edward was no more than a research subject to him.

In any case, Jarod had already done everything he could.

Jarod had also explained everything to the best that he could and was certain that he did not miss any important points.

If the other party didn’t listen to him and failed the mission, Jarod wouldn’t feel guilty at all.

“I understand!” Robert replied dully. After hearing what Jarod had said, Robert’s face fell.

“Alright Robert, you should go back and take a rest. For the next three days, you have to try your best to ensure that your body is in a relaxed state.

“Don’t think about anything, and don’t strain your brain unnecessarily.

“Apart from eating every day, sleep whenever you can. This way, you can recover and ensure that your mental state is back to normal as quickly as possible.” Jarod instructed.

“Okay!” Robert nodded solemnly.

Then Robert slipped out of the hospital bed.

However, as soon as Robert’s feet touched the ground, both of his legs gave way and Robert nearly fell down.

It was Simon who quickly caught Robert and prevented him from falling to the ground.

“What happened to Robert?” Marina quickly asked after she observed Robert’s condition.

Marina felt that she would be able to provide some form of help if there was any issue that arose.

However, in this case, Marina did not know anything and could not offer any help.

“As I’ve said before, the time that passes in a person’s consciousness is different from how time is passing outside.

“We might feel that only two hours have passed. But to Robert, it might have been two months, two years, or even twenty years for him.

“Robert has just woken up, but the consciousness in his mind hasn’t fully awakened yet. Therefore, Robert’s consciousness is telling him that he might have been lying down for two years.

“That’s why Robert’s muscles are a little atrophied, and he was not able to stand firmly on his feet.

“But all of you don’t have to worry. When Robert’s consciousness slowly wakes up, these symptoms will disappear.” Jarod explained in detail.

When Marina heard that Robert would be fine, she nodded her head in relief.

Simon helped to support Robert’s weight and accompanied him to the living room.

When Robert sat on the sofa, he finally felt a little more comfortable.

“What did you see in your father’s consciousness?” Simon suddenly asked. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Robert’s expression changed slightly.

It was a while before Robert replied to Simon.

“I saw my mom, and I also saw my dad.

“I saw you too, Uncle Simon. I also saw Auntie Marina.

“In the dream, our family lived happily together, and all of you even celebrated my birthday for me.

“I have a lot of friends, and I even got into Janeborough University. In the dream, I seemed to be the pride of the family…”

When Robert mentioned what he saw, there was even a hint of longing in his eyes.

This was why Robert had almost lost his way in the dream.

Even if one knew that everything that I saw was not real…

But everything in the dream was too perfect and good.

Those were the things that Robert had yearned for the most in the deepest part of his heart.

Therefore, if Robert was not careful, he knew that he couldn’t help but fall right into the trap.

“If Jarod hadn’t rung the copper bell at the end, I might really spend the rest of my life in the dream. Robert thought to himself.

“Robert, you shouldn’t enter again!” Simon looked into Robert’s eyes and suddenly exclaimed.

“What?” When Robert heard Simon’s words, he initially thought that he had misheard. Robert turned to look at Simon in puzzlement.

“I’ll go in!” Simon spoke up once more.

“No!” This time, Robert was certain that he had not misheard Simon and quickly refused.

“The doctor has already said that it’s safer for me to go in as compared to you. Moreover, with past experience, I definitely won’t fall into the trap again!” Robert reassured once more.
