Chapter 406
Looking at Marina who was trying so hard to prove her innocence, the expression on Simon’s face could not help but ease. up a little.
However, he said word by word, “Just this once. There won’t be a next time!”
“Alright!” Marina immediately replied.
Then, she turned around and gave Gavin a look.
Gavin immediately carried Gordon on his shoulder.
Then, they found a relatively safe place to stay.
It was not good to complicate matters, so Marina personally did a physical examination on Gordon.
Although Simon didn’t say anything, he was very dissatisfied.
He had been standing at the side the entire time.
He stared at Marina with a burning gaze.
It made her inspection become a little rusty.
“It’s alright. Although the injuries look quite serious, none of them are critical,” Marina said in a slightly relaxed tone.
If his injuries were too serious, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
“So he won’t die?” Simon’s thin lips moved slightly.
Marina was speechless.
“Well, go down and buy these medicines.” Marina wisely ignored Simon’s question.
Instead, she turned around and instructed.
“Yes,” Gavin immediately replied.
He took the paper that Marina had given him and turned to leave.
After Gavin bought the medicine, Marina applied the medicine to Gordon.
In the midnight, Gordon finally woke up.
The moment he woke up, Gordon subconsciously jumped up from the bed.
However, it quickly affected the wounds on his body and he fell down again in pain.
His movements instantly attracted the attention of Marina and Simon in the living room.
“You guys… saved me?” Gordon’s voice was still a little weak.
“Didn’t you fall in front of me on purpose?” Marina looked at him leisurely.
Gordon was stunned.
“Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from you…” Gordon lowered his head and smiled.
Then, he slowly sat up.
Chapter 406
Although his body was not seriously injured, his wounds were severe. He could only lean against the headboard and cough non-stop.
After recovering a little, he slowly spoke.
“At that time, my consciousness was blurry and I couldn’t see clearly. I thought it was just… someone who looked like you…”
Marina believed Gordon’s explanation.
After all, she and Simon’s whereabouts had always been well hidden.
It was impossible for others to know,
“Then why are you here?” Marina asked bluntly.
“I…” Gordon said, but he did not know how to continue.
“Are you here for the Akister Treasure?” Marina said what he hadn’t finished.
“How do you know that?” Gordon’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
“So were you the one who attacked Yann?” Marina asked.
“Yes.” Gordon did not deny it this time..
She was right.
“So are you here for the Akister Treasure as well?” Gordon quickly reacted.
“How did you know about the Akister Treasure? Did Mr. Yetts send you here?” Marina did not answer Gordon’s question.
Gordon also fell silent.
It seemed like he was unwilling to answer.
“It’s fine if it’s not convenient for you to say it. This place is considered safe. Since you can come here, you should be able to leave safely. We’ll leave first.”
Marina was not the kind of person who liked to pester others.
After saying that, she really prepared to leave.
The first reason why she was willing to save Gordon was that he was part of the reason why their mission could be completed so quickly.
The second reason was that he was now Luke’s adopted son.
Luke had a good relationship with her grandfather.
Now that Luke had just undergone surgery, if anything happened to Gordon, it was very likely that Luke’s condition would
worsen.
Now that Gordon was fine, there was nothing she could do.
“Wait a minute.” However, just as Marina and the others reached the door, Gordon stopped them.
Marina turned around and looked at him calmly.
“It wasn’t Mr. Yetts who told me about the Akister Treasure. It was… my grandfather who told me,” Gordon finally told the
truth.

“Your grandfather?” Marina’s expression flickered.
“Mm.” Gordon nodded.
That was Earl.
Marina suddenly remembered that Simon had gone to Solemwood for the Akister Treasure’s key.
He must have taken it from Earl.
“Miss Bailey, if you have time, why don’t you sit down?” Gordon coughed again as he said this.
Marina glanced at Simon.
Simon did not refuse. The few of them returned to the house.
Gordon slowly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Marina sitting down again.
Raising his head to look out the window, he saw that the moon was already in the sky.
He chose his words before speaking slowly.
“I’m here to look for the Akister Treasure because of my grandfather’s last wish…
“Before my grandfather passed away, he told me about the Akister Treasure.”
“Then do you know why your grandfather knew about the Akister Treasure?” Marina felt that there might be the information they wanted.
“My grandfather said it’s because of someone…” Gordon’s voice was hoarse.
“Someone?” Marina could not help but look
up at Simon.
She felt that the person Gordon was talking about was related to Simon’s mother.
“Yes, my grandfather said that that person is… his young mistress.” Gordon nodded.
Young mistress?
“What’s her name?” Marina asked directly.
Gordon shook his head. “My grandfather didn’t tell me her name. He always called her young mistress.
“He told me that the Akister Treasure originally belonged to his young mistress.
性
“However, later on, his young mistress was deceived and broke the family’s oath, so the Akister Treasure was degraded.
“He said that before his young mistress passed away, she instructed him to guard the Akister Treasure well.
“In order to keep this promise, my grandfather brought his entire family and moved to Solemwood to live in seclusion.
“After my grandfather passed away, he handed this mission to me.” Gordon briefly explained what had happened.
Marina and Simon fell silent after hearing this.
The two of them looked at each other with deep meaning only they could understand in their eyes.
“Have a good rest.” After saying this, Marina stood up directly and left with Simon.
However, the two of them did not leave immediately and went to the room next door.
14:38 Sat, 29 Jul.
After closing the door, Marina lowered her voice.
“Could the young mistress that Gordon’s Grandpa mentioned be your mother?”
