Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 292

Marina Bailey glanced at Simon Hernandez who was beside her. Her heart, which was in turmoil somewhat initially. instantly calmed down.

That was right. She still had Simon by her side.

Marina took a deep breath before opening the door and getting out of the car.

Chrislyn Neil had been sitting by the window and waiting all this while.

She had been waiting here for a long time, but Marina did not show up.

This made Chrislyn wonder if Marina would come at all.

Just as Chrislyn stood up and was about to leave, she suddenly realized that someone was standing opposite her.

She raised her head and saw a familiar face.

Chrislyn’s expression changed at once and she immediately broke into a bright smile.

“Marina, you’re here! I thought you wouldn’t come today!” Chrislyn sounded a little excited.

“I was held up by something.” As she looked at Chrislyn’s extremely pure eyes before her, Marina gave a simple explanation.

Whether it was Chrislyn’s expression or her eyes, everything appeared too sincere.

If all of this was a lie, then the person in front of Marina could really win a Best Actress Award..

“It’s okay. It’s good that you’re here. I ordered your favorite lemon tea.” Chrislyn didn’t seem angry at all.

Instead, she said this to Marina with a gentle expression.

However, it was also at this moment that she noticed that there was another man standing beside Marina.

“Er… I’m sorry. I didn’t know that Marina would bring someone else today, so I didn’t order anything for you. Take a look to see what you want to drink. It’s my treat,” Chrislyn said somewhat apologetically to Simon.

“It’s okay, I’m not thirsty.” Simon’s tone was very chilly.

Simon had never been patient with other women.

“Then… let’s sit down and talk” Chrislyn also noticed Simon’s indifference toward her and didn’t say anything else.

She only glanced at Marina a little uneasily.

Marina did not refuse and slowly sat opposite Chrislyn while Simon sat beside Marina.

As soon as the couple sat down, the two of them involuntarily moved closer to each other.

This was something that only very intimate people would do.

When Chrislyn saw this scene, the expression on her froze momentarily.

However, she soon became relaxed again.

“Marina, I’m very happy for you. You have finally found someone you like.” Chrislyn looked at Marina with the utmost sincerity.

Marina’s eyes flickered slightly.

After a long while, she said, “Why did you ask me to come here today?”

When Chrislyn heard that, her expression turned solemn.

She looked at Marina Bailey with a determined gaze. “Marina, only you can help me with this.”

“You want me to take you to see Jeffery Garcia?” Actually, Chrislyn didn’t even need to say anything. Marina already knew what she wanted to say.

After all, all her thoughts were written on her face.

Chrislyn didn’t deny it and only asked with some anticipation, “Will you help me?*

Marina shook her head. “Jeffery is being watched by his grandfather. I have no way to bring you in.”

When Chrislyn heard this, her expression immediately became desolate.

Her hands also began fidgeting uneasily.

“I… Marina. Do you not trust me too?”

Chrislyn could tell that something was wrong with Marina’s tone.

Marina usually appeared aloof and icy, making herself seem very unapproachable.

However, only the people near her knew that she was really very good to her own people.

Marina would never give them a hard time, and most definitely would not use her status to bully others.

However, now, her tone did not treat Chrislyn as one of her people at all.

It was extremely icy. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“I buried your body with my own hands. Tell me, how did you appear here? It can’t be that there’s really such a thing as resurrection in this world, is there?” Marina did not beat around the bush with the other party either.

She had come here expressly to clarify this matter.

“…” Chrislyn’s lips moved as if she wanted to explain something, but she didn’t know where to start when the words reached. her tongue.

“See? If you can’t even explain yourself, how can I trust you?” Marina said in a low voice.

“Marina, I don’t know what to tell you. I just feel like I had an exceptionally long dream.

“In my dream… I remembered that I was kidnapped.

“Those people mistook me for you, so they kept asking me questions that I didn’t understand.

“Every one of them was ferocious. I was afraid that they… would give you trouble again after finding out my true identity.

“So I told them I was you.

“They… kept asking me where that thing was, but I didn’t even know.

“They kept hitting me. They didn’t even give me food. They tied me on the roof to roast in the sun and also refused to give

me water.

“It really hurt a lot…

“I really missed you guys at that point…” When Chrislyn recalled these things, she felt her body tremble uncontrollably.

She hugged her arms tightly. This was a sign of uneasiness.

Marina looked at Chrislyn in front of her and frowned even more deeply.

The reaction Chrislyn was showing now was very much like post–traumatic stress disorder.

This was also the first time Marina had heard so many details about what happened after Chrislyn was kidnapped back then.

Her hands, which were resting on her knees, could not help clenching into fists.

Simon, who was sitting beside her, noticed Marina’s abnormal behavior and quickly reached out to hold her hand.

Marina took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down before speaking.

“What happened after that?”

“After that? What happened after that… I don’t really remember…” Chrislyn seemed to be thinking hard, but couldn’t remember anything.

“Then how did you come back?” Marina asked again.

“I… When I woke up. I found myself in an abandoned warehouse.

“I felt extremely cold. At that point, I still didn’t know what had happened, so I wanted to quickly look for you and Jeffery.

“But when I came out of the warehouse, I realized that the outside world had changed drastically.

“Even I also grew up a lot overnight.

“I was… downright terrified at that juncture, so I made a phone call to Jeffery….

“It wasn’t until I saw Jeffery that I realized so many years had passed.

“I… still haven’t accepted this fact till now…” Chrislyn’s eyes were filled with uneasiness toward the unfamiliar things around her.

“So you’re saying that all this while, your memory had remained at the time you were kidnapped?” Marina’s dark eyes

narrowed.
