Chapter 293
“Mm–hmm.” Chrislyn nodded vigorously.
Meanwhile, Marina kept staring at Chrislyn as if she was trying to determine if Chrislyn was lying or not.
Chrislyn’s expression was particularly earnest, and she did not look evasive for even a moment.
She was telling the truth.
“Marina, I’m terribly confused right now. I really don’t know what to do….
“Previously, Jeffery told me not to worry about anything and that he would always be by my side.
“But now, something has happened to Jeffery. I can’t get to him at all. The Garcia family’s people won’t let me in at all.
“Marina, the only person I can seek help from is you. Can you help me?
“Although I don’t know what happened all these years, nor do I know why I woke up in that warehouse…
“But I’m telling the truth, Marina. I will never lie to you.
“Please take me to see Jeffery. I really want to meet him.”
When Chrislyn reached the end of her sentence, her eyes had already turned red–rimmed.
Marina almost nodded in consent when she was faced with that pleading gaze.
It was not until Simon squeezed her palm that Marina came back to her senses.
Then she asked. “Where do you live now?”
Jeffery found me a place to stay. He said that it was his private property. His grandfather doesn’t know, so I still have a place to stay for the time being.” Chrislyn told Marina the truth.
Then stay there for now. I’ll help you contact them. If it’s possible, I’ll bring Jeffery over to visit you.” Marina did not promise anything definite.
Then I’ll wait for you.” Chrislyn seemed to have grabbed onto a final life–saving buoy and looked at Marina with blazing.
eyes.
“Mm–hmm.” Marina nodded.
After that, Marina and Simon sent Chrislyn back to her current lodging.
This place was indeed as Chrislyn said. It was relatively remote, but the environment was not bad.
Her daily life was still very convenient when she lived here.
“Marina, then I’ll go back first. If there’s any news, you must tell me immediately. This is my current phone number. Remember to call me. Before getting out of the car, Chrislyn reminded Marina repeatedly.
“Alright.” Marina reached out and took that note Chrislyn handed to her.
Then, she watched as Chrislyn disappeared from her sight.
It wasn’t until Chrislyn’s figure completely disappeared that Marina slowly withdrew her gaze.
Then she looked down at the paper in her hand.
Chapter 298
There was a handwritten phone number on it.
Marina stared at the words on that note, and her fingers could not help tightening a little.
When he noticed her odd behavior, Simon quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“This handwriting is exactly the same as Chrislyn’s…” Marina muttered.
Simon lowered his head to take a look. The expression in his eyes flickered slightly before he spoke.
“Let’s go back first.”
“Mm–hmm. Marina nodded.
Only then did Simon drive back.
On the way back, Marina did not speak at all.
However, she kept that note very safely.
After returning home, Marina called Oscar on the phone straight away.
She wanted him to go take a look at Chrislyn’s tomb.
This was the most direct way.
After ending the call, Marina appeared a little dazed.
Simon went up and slowly held her hand.
At that moment, Marina felt that her body seem to be warming up.
“I thought at first you wouldn’t do that,” Simon said.
He could tell that Marina was actually in a dilemma inwardly.
Simon was thinking that if Marina was unwilling, he would do it instead.
To his surprise, she made the phone call the moment she returned.
“M
“Sometimes, illusions are simply illusions. You can tell that an ancient bridge has long rotted away the moment you step on it, even if its surface appears completely intact and undamaged.
“Instead of worrying and feeling fearful every day, it’s better to find out the truth as soon as possible.
“No matter what the outcome is, I’m willing to accept it!” Marina enunciated each word clearly.
She had never been a cowardly person.
Perhaps there were times when she experienced hesitation or momentary distraction, but she would never allow herself to
sink.
“As expected of my Marina.” Simon reached out and pulled Marina into his arms.
However, there was still a hint of heartache in his eyes.
How much had this girl gone through in the past to lead her to push herself so hard?
Simon gently stroked Marina’s head.
He was only thinking that he had to treat her better in the future, much better.
He had to help her regain all the pure happiness she had lost.
“You must be tired. I’ll carry you back to your room to rest.” Simon picked Marina up in one swoop.
Marina did not reject his gesture. She simply snuggled in his arms quietly.
Marina did not sleep very well even though Simon was right by her side.
She eventually woke up from the dream.
“What’s wrong?” Simon, who had been hugging her all the while, quickly asked.
“I… Marina’s lips moved, not knowing where to start.
In her dream just now, she saw Chrislyn totally covered in blood.
Chrislyn just stood quietly in front of Marina and asked why Marina did not help her. “
Chrislyn was clearly very willing to sacrifice her life for Marina, yet Marina was unwilling to even give Chrislyn the most.
basic trust.
“Did you have a nightmare?” When he saw Marina’s expression, Simon immediately asked in a low voice.
Marina was about to speak when her cell phone suddenly rang.
Marina took a glance at the caller’s number displayed on the screen before answering the call hurriedly.
“Hello?”
“Miss, we’ve already checked. There’s nothing in Miss Neil’s grave. Her body isn’t inside.” Oscar’s voice rang out from the other end of the line.
“What did you say?” Marina immediately sat up on the bed when she heard his words.
“It’s an empty grave in there,” Oscar repeated.
He even took a photo and sent it to Marina.
Marina looked at the photo on the phone and frowned deeply.
How was this possible?
She was the one who personally buried Chrislyn.
How could her body not be inside?
“Also, I checked the condition of the grave. There are no signs of recent excavation. It looks like it was dug up a long time ago.” Oscar had carefully studied the site.
“Got it,” Maring replied in a low voice before ending the phone call.
Simon had already heard her entire conversation with Oscar.
When he saw Marina’s reaction, he couldn’t help saying, “I think they came prepared
“Don’t you believe that that person is Chrislyn?” Marina raised her head to look at Simon.
“You don’t believe it either, do you?” Simon asked in return.
