Chapter 456 

Everything’s fine. I feel like I can live a life similar to that in the past, Peter said, glancing down at his hands

During his time at home, he had almost forgotten about the changes his body had gone through

That’s good to hear. I have an upcoming trip, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. If any uncontrollable situation occurs, contact the lab technician in my laboratory. Here’s his phone number, and I’ve already informed him, Marina said, showing Peter a phone number

Okay,Peter nodded

Then he inquired. So, where are you planning to go this time?” 

South Mountain, Marina replied without hesitation

Is it dangerous?After the traumatic events involving Lambert, Peter couldn’t help but feel an underlying fear about going 

out

It shouldn’t be dangerous this time,” Marina reassured him, trying to alleviate his concerns

That’s good. But please let me know if anything happens. You know my circumstances are different now, but I can still be of assistance, Peter offered, his eyes filled with genuine concern

Peter didn’t say much words but his eyes had revealed everything

If what happened to Lambert had left a psychological shadow on Marina, then the shadow left in Peter’s heart could only be deeper

After all, Peter had a chance to save Lambert back then

Maybe because he was a loser, so not only did he fail to save Lambert, but he even was even kept by them for research

He had thought that he had become strong enough during this period of time

However, he realized that his previous thoughts were really too naive, after experiencing a series of events

Marina responded with a soft yes

However, just as she was about to depart, Peter, who remained seated in the chair, suddenly stood up, looking hesitant and struggling to find the right words

What’s wrong?Marina turned back

HmmmPeter tried several times, but he could not utter anything

Wellthere is nothing. I just want to say take careto you.Peter chose to not say in the end

However, Marina did not leave immediately this time. Instead, Marina locked eyes with Peter for a moment

Her lips parted, and she spoke gently, So, you wanted to know about Jessica, didn’t you?” 

Peter, whose thoughts had been read through, suddenly looked up at Marina

Startled, Peter looked up at Marina, torn between denying it and confessing his worries

After a brief internal struggle, he nodded and said

Yes, I just wanted to know if you have any idea where she is now. When they took me away, I was convinced I wouldn’t 

survive

And at that moment, my biggest regret was not being able to see her one last time,” Peter confessed

Of course, I just wanted a glimpse of her from afar, as long as she was doing well, I’d be satisfied,he added

I can assure you, Marina, I won’t disrupt her current life, Peter promised emphatically

L.. I just want to see her again,” he struggled to express his deep longing

It was difficult for Peter to say all these words

He himself also knew that he didn’t deserve to appear in the world of Jessica again 

But he really couldn’t control his heart from thinking about her

If he had known he would have loved her as much as he did now, he would never have agreed to that damn bet 

He would even not start those shadow romantic relations

But it was too late to repent 

Marina sighed, observing Peter’s cautious demeanor

Chapter 456 

Finally, she decided to share an address with him

As soon as Peter heard the address, his eyes instantly lit up

The once forlorn man became alive with renewed hope

*I can promise you, Marina, I absolutely won’t disturb her or let her discover melPeter exclaimed, his voice filled with determination. 

You’d better keep your word, Peter. Jessica didn’t even tell me about her secret departure because of you,Marina warned

I went through great lengths to find her current address,” Marina explained

If she senses your presence and disappears again, I won’t go easy on you!Marina’s tone was firm. Rest assured. I won’t make the same mistake twice!Peter declared, raising his hand as he made a solemn vow

Alright. I’m leaving.Marina said, choosing not to dwell on the topic any further

The reason she was willing to tell Peter was because of Sharon

After her older brother, Lambert, left, Sharon Hill seemed hollowed out

Life passed by in just a few short decades

In the blink of an eye, it was gone

If there was still genuine longing between two people, they shouldn’t waste time being apart

They should treasure every second they could spend together

Because one could never know when unexpected events might strike

After bidding farewell to Peter, Marina headed straight to the waiting car

And Simon was sitting in the back seat

The two of them wasted no time and drove directly to South Mountain

South Mountain was located in a particularly remote town

There were no highspeed trains or airplanes

The most convenient way to get there was by car

However, the roads were rugged, and Marina was jolted throughout the journey

When they finally arrived at their destination

Marina felt as if she had endured a challenging wilderness expedition

Mr. Hernandez, Miss Bailey, it’s getting late. Let’s find a place to stay for the night and head to South Mountain Tomb early tomorrow,Gavin suggested

Okay,Marina agreed

However, despite Gavin’s efforts, he couldn’t find a decent hotel after searching for a while

In the end, the three of them spent the night at a cozy inn

The bed was creaking, which it impossible for Marina to sleep

Finally, Simon lifted her up and cradled her against his chest

Only then did she manage to close her eyes for a brief respite

And the next morning, bright and early

The three of them hastily checked out of the room

Now, besides fulfilling Simon’s longheld wish as quickly as possible, they had an additional urgent reason to find the key

After all, nobody wanted to sleep on a bed that squeaked and creaked at the slightest movement

When they arrived at South Mountain Tomb, they discovered that the entrance had already been sealed

Mr. Hernandez, Miss Bailey, please wait here. I’ll go ask the nearby villagers,” Gavin immediately spoke up

Qkay.” Simon nodded in agreement

Approximately half an hour later

Gavin returned with the gathered information

I’ve asked the folks in the nearby village, and they mentioned that when this tomb was first excavated, they sent a whole bunch of people over,he began

Chapter 456 

But later on, the researchers studied it and concluded that there was no need for further digging. So, those folks went back

You see, there are quite a few kids around here, and leaving the exposed tomb entrance as it could pose some risks

Therefore, the villagers blocked the entrance of this tomb. It’s said that it’s been more than ten years.”
