Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 274

“I can’t guarantee that. I can only say that I will do my best to wake him up. However, I can’t give you an accurate answer as to what the outcome will be after he wakes up.”

Jarod was being honest. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The room fell silent.

“I believe you!” After a while, Simon looked up at Jarod.

“Are you sure?” Jarod was a little surprised to hear this.

After what he had just said, he thought that this person might go back on his word.

“Marina brought you here. Since I trust her, I trust you too,” Simon said without any hesitation.

Jarod was unhappy.

“Well, I do get short–tempered sometimes! Why do you trust her so much? She knows nothing about hypnosis. Do you think I can do it just because she says so? Who is she to you?”

Jarod hated being outclassed by Marina.

And Simon’s words just now obviously said that he was not as good as Marina.

How could he stand that?

“She is the love of my life,” Simon said firmly.

“What? What did you just say? What is she?” Jarod’s eyes widened.

At that moment, it was as if he had heard something especially unbelievable.

He only stared at Simon Hernandez with a burning gaze.

“The love of my life!” Simon repeated.

He even held Marina’s hand in order to let him understand more clearly.

“You, you…” Jarod’s gaze shifted between the two of them, his finger trembling as he pointed at them.

He had a fierce look in his eyes as if he wished to forcefully pry apart their tightly held hands with a knife.

Noticing Jarod’s expression, Gavin quickly interjected, “Don’t tell me you have a crush on Mrs. Hernandez?”

He even referred to Marina as Mrs. Hernandez.

“I have a crusly on her? I wouldn’t have a crush on her even if all the women in the world died!” Jarod jumped up and declared as if he had been insulted.

Simon didn’t know what to say to that.

Neither did Gavin.

“Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and see the patient. I don’t have much time for you.” Marina was too lazy to talk to him anymore and gave him a warning look.

Jarod seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

82%

Because he saw that Marina’s other hand had already clenched into a fist.

The meaning was obvious.

If he continued to talk nonsense, the fist would probably land on his face.

With Marina’s strength, his skull would probably be shattered by her punch.

In the end, he could only curse as he walked towards Edward.

He first looked at his various statistics.

The data showed that his vital signs were still normal.

There didn’t seem to be any other health problems in his body.

“You guys can go out first. I need an extremely quiet environment for my treatment. If you stay here, you’ll disturb me.” Jarod looked up at Marina and the others.

Marina naturally knew that hypnosis could not be performed in a very noisy environment.

She only nodded and prepared to leave with Simon and Gavin.

However, when she reached the door, Marina looked back at Jarod.

“Be careful when you wake him up. He’ll be aggressive when he wakes up. Don’t let him hurt you.”

“Woah, hold on! What’s going on with you? Are you actually concerned about me? Aren’t you supposed to want me dead so you can keep your position?” Jarod raised his voice.

Marina looked at him as if he was a fool.

“What makes you think you’re qualified to compete with me?”

“Marina Bailey!” Jarod was exasperated.

“I didn’t remind you just now because I was concerned about you. It’s just that even if you die, you have to treat him first.”

After saying that, Marina turned and left.

She didn’t give Jarod a chance to argue with her further.

Jarod was so angry that he had an overwhelming urge to run up and confront her directly.

But in the end, he managed to stop himself because he knew it was the sensible thing to do.

Not only was Marina incredibly strong physically, but she also had a way with words that was razor sharp.

Anyway, he did not seem to have the upper hand over her all these years.

Hmph…

He would hold his grudges for now.

After curing this person, Marina would owe him a huge favor.

When the time came, he would definitely make her repay him!

After coming out of the room, Marina and Simon sat on the chairs in the corridor.

Simon looked a little nervous.

“Don’t worry. Although that guy looks unreliable, he is indeed very good at hypnosis,” Marina comforted.

“I know.” Simon nodded.

“Miss Bailey, who is this person? How did you meet him? Why do I get the feeling that he doesn’t seem to be… friends with you?” Gavin asked curiously.

“His name is Jarod Wendell. He’s an incredibly skilled hypnotist. I was once hypnotized and had difficulty waking up. He saved me, Marina explained in a straightforward manner.

“You’ve been hypnotized before?” Simon’s expression changed when he heard this.

“How else would I know that Edward was hypnotized?” Marina shrugged.

Meanwhile, Simon looked at her even more lovingly.

He knew Marina well enough now.

The more relaxed and carefree she sounded while talking about something, the more dangerous the situation was.

“Don’t give me that look. I’m sitting right here, aren’t I? We just need to wait for updates from him,” Marina said with a smile.

“Okay,” Simon replied softly.

However, her hand remained firmly clasped around Marina’s.

Seconds ticked by.

They waited outside anxiously.

About an hour later.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the room.

Simon and Marina rushed in almost immediately.

The scene in the room made Marina’s face turn cold.

Edward was trying to strangle Jarod.

Without another word, Simon rushed forward and struck the back of Edward’s neck.

Edward immediately collapsed.

Jarod, who had narrowly escaped being choked to death, clutched his neck, hunching over and coughing desperately.

“How are you?” Marina immediately went forward.

Jarod could not make a sound at this moment. He could only raise his hand and shake it.

He indicated that he would not die yet.

After Simon placed Edward back on the bed, he went over to check on Jarod.

Jarod was sitting on the sofa at the side.

He was still holding the hot water that Marina had poured for him.

He felt like he had just survived a calamity.

“What the hell is going on?” Marina asked with a frown.
