“I don’t know if it counts as news.” Simon looked at Marina with a complicated expression.
Marina looked back at the closed door behind her.
She did not ask further and directly dragged Simon back to their room.
Then, she asked.
*What did you mean just now? Have you found her or not, dead or alive? There will always be an explanation.”
“We found Jessica’s clothes,” Simon said.
“Clothes?” Marina frowned.
“Yes.” Simon nodded.
“Where did you find them? On the coast? If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that Jessica was saved?” Marina’s voice rose involuntarily.
However, Simon’s words quickly poured cold water on her.
“We fished them out of the sea, and the clothes are in tatters. It appears that they have been attacked by some species in the
‘sea.”
Upon hearing this, the smile that had just emerged on Marina’s face faded.
Then, she sat weakly on the sofa at the side.
“Marina, we should all know that Peter was saved because his body had undergone genetic modification.
“Therefore, in terms of endurance and other aspects, he is much stronger than ordinary people.
“But Jessica… She’s just an ordinary girl…” Simon paused at this point.
Because he believed that Marina already understood the rest of the sentence.
Or perhaps, Marina had always understood.
But she didn’t want to believe it.
“Why did this happen… Why did this happen? Before she left, she told me that she would be back soon…” Marina muttered in a husky voice.
Ever since she came here, she had not dared to think about Jessica.
She just desperately got people to search for Jessica’s whereabouts again and again.
She tried every means, wishing to find her like the way they found Peter.
However, it had already been so many days. In fact, Marina knew that miracles did not happen so often.
However, Marina was unwilling to accept it.
Marina felt like she had just had tea with Jessica on the balcony.
Jessica told her that she would be back soon.
She asked if Marina was willing to keep her by her side.
Marina even kept her thank–you speech from the award ceremony on her phone.
She had even prepared a ceremony to welcome Jessica back.
However, Marina did not expect such a thing to happen.
Now, she couldn’t even find her, not to mention that Jessica went back.
Simon knew that at a time like this, any consolation was useless.
He could only reach out and hug Marina, hoping to give her some strength.
Even so, Marina did not give up on searching.
She had been investing a large amount of manpower and material resources to salvage at sea.
She sent people to search along the coastline in the nearby fishing villages.
At first, Peter was still waiting patiently.
A week later, he couldn’t wait any longer.
Moreover, his recovery speed was much faster than ordinary people’s.
Chapter 495
In less than a week, all the injuries on his body had healed.
On this day, he finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
He broke the lock on the door and decided to go out to look for Jessica. Unexpectedly, he ran into Marina and Simon coming out of the elevator.
At this moment. Peter was still holding the door lock that he had broken forcefully.
“Where are you going?” Marina’s gaze shifted from the lock in his hand to his face.
“I’m going to look for Jessica, Peter stated in a low yet firm voice.
He had already thought it through. No matter how Marina opposed him, he had made up his mind to go out this time!
“Go ahead.” To his surprise, Marina agreed readily.
“You’re not stopping me?” This time, it was Peter’s turn to be surprised.
“Can I stop you? I can stop you this time, but what about next time?
“Can I follow you 24/7? If you want to go out, with your current ability, I can’t stop you at all,” Marina said firmly.
“Marina, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be careful and not let
anyone notice my tracks.
Tll be back as soon as I find Jessica!” Peter was overjoyed. After saying that, he walked straight to the elevator..
However, in the next moment, Marina’s voice came from behind.
“You can’t find Jessica.”
Peter stopped in his tracks involuntarily.
Then he looked back at Marina.
“What do you mean? How can I not find her?”
“You know what I’m talking about,” Marina said in a deep voice.
The expression in Peter’s eyes changed drastically in an instant.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. I can’t stay here for too long. I have to find Jessica immediately, or she’ll be angry,” Peter said as he walked into the elevator.
This time, Marina did not stop him.
She watched as the elevator door slowly closed.
“Are we really not going to stop him?” Simon looked at Marina worriedly.
It was not a good time for Peter to go out and show his face now.
As far as they knew, many people were already secretly investigating him..
“Even if we don’t let him go out, he will go out by himself. Let someone follow him,” Marina said with a weary expression.
“Okay,” Simon replied. Then, he called his subordinates and told them to keep an eye on Peter.
Marina returned to her room.
She collapsed onto the sofa.
She raised a hand and slowly covered her eyes.
Her entire body exuded a strong sense of fatigue.
During this period of time, she had not had a restful night.
She did not have time to care for the two kids and left them at home for her parents to take care of.
However, no matter how much effort she put in, she still couldn’t find Jessica.
“Marina, you’re tired. You should go back to bed and sleep first” Simon’s heart ached when he saw Marina in such a state.
Marina had just given birth and her body had yet to fully recover.
Now that she was so tired–out, there might be aftereffects if she didn’t rest well.
Marina nodded slowly, but she still sat on the sofa without moving.
Simon’s eyes flickered as he sat beside her.
He gently pulled her into his arms.
“You don’t have to worry too much. I’ll take care of everything.” Simon whispered.
… Mm. Marina replied sullenly.
She could barely keep her eyes open.
Slowly, her consciousness sank.
