Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 282

“Okay, okay. You’re right. You’re not the one who is crying, I am. I’m crying because I’m feeling sad that you’re sick and not feeling well. Hurry up and put on your clothes, Edward said dotingly.

After hearing what Edward had said, Fiona finally allowed Edward to help her put on her clothes.

Meanwhile, Robert stood at the side and watched them quietly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Robert felt a little dazed.

“Are they my parents?

Their relationship seemed to be even more intimate than Uncle Simon and Auntie Marina.” Robert thought to himself.

“Robert, come quickly. Let’s build a snowman together.” Just as Robert was in a daze, Fiona waved at him and gestured for Robert to come over.

Almost unconsciously. Robert walked toward the direction where his parents were at

Initially, the snowfall was light. However, for reasons unknown, the ground had already accumulated a thick layer of snow in just a short while.

Robert’s mother looked like a very cute and petite woman.

At this moment, Fiona was wearing gloves and was frantically building a snowman in the snow.

Robert’s father was guiding Fiona from the side.

This scene made Robert feel deeply moved and filled him with warmth.

Unknowingly, Robert had joined them.

The snowflakes were very cold.

When Robert was building the snowman, he found the snow exceptionally heavy.

Robert could feel the pain when a snowball struck his body.

Robert felt that all of this was too real.

“Or perhaps, all of this was real and what it should be.”

The expression on Robert’s face instantly brightened as the thought flashed across his mind.

Robert started a snowball fight with the people around him.

Robert threw snowball after snowball at the others.

Even though Robert was struck by a lot of snowballs, he still smiled happily.

However, at this moment, an ear–piercing sound could be heard. It sounded like the ring of a copper bell.

At that moment, Robert’s body froze. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Then, Robert’s consciousness slowly became clearer.

“Something’s wrong!

“All of these are wrong!

12:20

These are all just an illusion!

“None of this is real!”

Robert hurriedly threw the snowball in his hand and whirled around to leave.

Robert knew that he had to search for the edges of the dreamland as he wanted to break out of the dream.

Just as Robert ran outside, Edward and Fiona followed Robert and was running after him.

“Robert, what’s wrong?

“Where are you going?

“It’s too dangerous outside. Quick, stop running.”

Robert could hear Edward and Fiona’s words of concern coming from behind him.

However, Robert did not stop running and continued without any hesitation.

However, in the next moment, a painful groan made Robert stop in his tracks.

Robert turned around and saw Fiona lying in the snow.

“Fiona must have run too fast, and ended up tripping and falling down.” Robert thought to himself.

Edward squatted down beside Fiona with a worried expression and was carefully checking her injuries.

Subconsciously, Robert wanted to turn around and run toward them. However, Robert forced himself to stop.

“Robert, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and come over to take a look at your mother. Fiona’s leg is bleeding.” Edward’s tone was especially stern as he shouted at Robert.

Robert gritted his teeth and was at a complete loss for what to do.

“Robert!” At this moment, another stern voice could be heard.

Robert looked

up

and saw Simon standing in front of him with a serious expression on his face.

“Uncle Simon… Robert muttered.

“Is this how I usually teach you?” Simon asked Robert with a tone of certainty.

“You disappoint me!” A female voice sounded as a slender figure appeared beside Simon.

“Auntie Marina?” Robert exclaimed as he felt even more surprised.

“Robert, it hurts so much…” Fiona looked at Robert with reddened eyes as she groaned.

“Hurry up and come over!” Simon shouted angrily at Robert.

“Quick, come and take a look at your mother!” Marina said hurriedly.

Almost subconsciously, Robert stepped forward and walked over.

On the other hand, in reality, Simon and Marina looked at Robert who was lying on the hospital bed as their expressions. darkened uncontrollably.

Just now at that moment, Robert’s brain waves had fluctuated very strongly.

However, in the next instant, Robert’s brain waves calmed down again.

“What’s going on? Is Robert alright?” Simon looked at Jarod and asked worriedly.

Jarod’s eyebrows furrowed as he frowned.

“Robert’s really… thisobedient. Jarod sighed and said in a low voice.

Then, Jarod raised the copper bell in his hand and gently rang it once near Robert’s car.

At that moment, Robert’s brain waves begin to fluctuate strongly once more.

Simon wanted to ask Jarod more questions, but Marina shot a look at him.

It was clear from Marina’s glance that she did not want Simon to disturb Jarod.

After receiving Marina’s signal, Simon bit back the words that he was about to say to,

Jarod.

Seconds ticked by.

To many people, two hours would not be considered a long period of time, nor would they think that it was a short period

of time.

At the 90–minute mark, there was still no movement from Robert.

There was no sign that Edward was waking up either.

Simon could no longer sit still and wait patiently.

Simon’s expression also darkened as time passed by.

“It’s almost time. Is there still no effect?” Marina finally spoke up and asked Jarod.

Jarod’s gaze was constantly on the machine in front of him.

Then, Jarod turned to glance at Edward who was lying on the hospital bed.

At this moment, there were very strong eye movements from Edward although his eyelids were still closed.

“It should have some effect. I just don’t know if Robert will be able to do it all the way.” Jarod said with a serious expression.

After hearing what Jarod had said, they did not speak up anymore as they did not want to disturb Jarod.

Finally, two hours passed.

Edward still did not wake up.

However, Jarod could not afford to wait any longer.

This was because if one person’s consciousness lingered for too long in another person’s consciousness, one might not be able to return to reality.

Therefore, Jarod rang the copper bell in his hand once more.

This time, Jarod rang the copper bell three times in a row.

Almost instantly, Robert’s brain waves began to fluctuate violently.

However, Robert’s eyes were still tightly shut.

Observing Robert’s reaction, Jarod frowned as his eyebrows furrowed.

Jarod rang the copper bell in his hand again.

This time, the sound that the copper bell was making was even more rapid than before.

“Dad!” Finally, Robert opened his eyes and shouted.

“How is it? Are you alright?” Simon and Marina immediately rushed forward and asked concernedly.

Robert stared blankly at the ceiling above his head and was gasping for breath.

After a while, Robert turned to look at Marina and Simon who were standing beside him.

“Uncle Simon… Auntie Marina…”

“We’re here. Seeing that Robert could still recognize them, Simon let out a long sigh of relief as he replied to Robert.

“I thought I had told you earlier that you should not believe and take it for real for the things that are happening in the dream. Why didn’t you listen to me?” Jarod berated with a stern look on his face as he stared at Robert who had just woken

1. up.

“…” Hearing Jarod’s question, Robert was suddenly at a loss for words and did not know how to explain to Jarod.

“The scene inside the dream… It was just too real,” Robert mumbled after a while.

“It’s because it’s too real that many people are trapped in their subconscious and were unable to wake up.

“But Robert, you went in with a mission. You were going to wake your father up, and not be like him who is trapped in their own fantasies.

“Do you know that you almost couldn’t come out just now!” Jarod was a little angry and disappointed at Robert as he did not manage to complete his mission.
