Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 448

This time, Marina was even more cautious with the experiment. Marina made sure to control the amount of drugs administered as well.

However, during this process, Sharon still suffered immense pain.

It wasn’t until Sharon said that she couldn’t take it anymore that Marina immediately stopped the experiment.

After stopping the experiment, Sharon immediately leaned over the bed and vomited.

Marina immediately went forward and looked at Sharon worriedly. “Are you alright?”

“I think… I’m not used to it, but I should be fine…” Sharon said with some difliculty.

“Have a good rest first, then. I need to record the data first. This is a huge breakthrough,” Marina said.

“Okay.” Sharon nodded.

After the last experiment, Marina seemed to have entered a state of seclusion and did not leave the laboratory for a week.

Marina only emerged from the laboratory seven days later, pleasantly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Marina saw Simon standing outside the door as soon as she left the laboratory.

“I did it! I really did it!” Marina’s tone was filled with excitement.

“I knew you would succeed.” Simon did not seem surprised at all, as if he had expected this.

“I’ll go look for Peter now,” Marina said and turned to leave.

Simon also felt Marina’s joy and slowly followed behind her.

Since they had already experimented with Sharon, when Marina gave Peter the injection this time, she was more confident.

The drug was slowly injected into Peter’s body.

However, Marina’s gaze was fixed on the instrument beside them which showed Peter’s vitals.

As the drug was injected, the data on Peter’s vitals began to change.

Peter, who had originally been as calm as if he was sleeping, suddenly frowned.

A groan that sounded like pain slipped past Peter’s lips.

“Marina, should we continue to administer the drug?” The lab technician beside Marina asked.

“Continue!” Marina’s eyes darted back and forth across the screens, quickly analyzing the available data.

“Okay,” the person replied and immediately increased the drugs.

As the drugs increased, the pain on Peter’s face became even more apparent.

Peter’s body even began to struggle a little.

Fortunately, Marina was already prepared and had secured Peter with restraints.

As such, Peter’s movements did not affect the administration of injections.

Marina had carefully calculated the amount of drugs in the first injection.

It was exact. No more, no less.

Therefore, even if Peter was in pain, they had to finish the injection.

Moreover, the injection had to be administered at a specific rate.

Peter’s head was raised, and the veins on his neck were already protruding out.

It was clear that Peter was enduring great pain.

“Peter, bear with it a little longer!

“Just bear with it a little longer!” Marina glanced at the remaining drugs in the syringe and said in a low voice.

Marina did not know if Peter could hear her, but he struggled less.

Finally, all the drugs were injected into Peter’s body.

“All his vital signs are within the normal range.” Marina stared at the instrument in front of her for a moment and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“We did it! We really did it!” The lab technicians beside Marina looked even more excited than she did.

12:01

“In the next 24 hours, you must carefully observe all the changes in his data. If there are any abnormalities, inform me immediately. Marina turned around and instructed the technicians.

“Yes. The technicians immediately replied.

After giving her instructions, Marina stood up and left.

Simon was still waiting outside the door.

The moment Simon saw Marina, he was already about to step forward.

However, Marina suddenly collapsed, her body falling toward the floor.

“Marina!” Simon cried out in surprise as he rushed forward and caught her.

Marina felt like she was trapped in a nightmare.

Marina knew she was dreaming but also knew she was trapped.

Marina wanted to find an exit.

However, there was a white fog in front of her, making it impossible for her to see the path ahead.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Marina.

“Marina..

Marina was shocked.

This was Lambert’s voice.

Marina’s hands that were hanging by her side started to tremble.

“Marina…” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

The next moment, Lambert’s voice sounded again.

Marina immediately turned around.

As expected, Lambert was standing less than 32 feet away from her.

“Lambert!” Marina shouted in a choked voice.

Marina’s eyes instantly turned red.

“Marina, you did well.” Lambert’s face was as gentle as ever.

“No, I didn’t do well at all. I couldn’t even…. bring you back.” Marina shook her head.

The expression on Marina’s face looked very fragile.

Marina had been competitive since she was young and had never revealed her weak side in front of others.

Even in front of Simon, Marina would still suppress her painful cries even if she let herself go a little more than usual.

However, in front of Lambert now, Marina was like a little girl who had just lost her family.

Marina was so fragile now that it would make anyone want to give her a comforting hug.

“Of course you did. Didn’t you bring my ashes back?” Lambert said with a smile.

“But what I want is for you to come back alive!” Marina raised her voice.

“Marina, everyone has to go through life and death.

“No matter how powerful you are, you can’t change this law of nature.

“You’re going to be the head of the family. You can’t be defeated over such a small matter,” Lambert said gently.

“But I’ve worked so hard to be worthy of the position of the head of the family so I can protect the people around me.

“If I can’t even protect the people around me, what’s the point of all my hard work?” Marina had long fallen into self–doubt.

It was just that Marina had been preoccupied with Peter, so she had not shown it.

Now that Peter was temporarily out of danger, these feelings swept over Marina like a tsunami.

“What do you mean you can’t protect the people around you? Didn’t you save Peter?”

Lambert’s words made Marina’s expression change.

“Marina, you must remember that as the head of the family, you indeed need unparalleled strength, and you have to take on the responsibility of protecting everyone.

“However, this doesn’t mean you must bear all the pressure alone.

“My death has nothing to do with you. It’s just a fate of my choosing.

“It’s the same as how you chose your own fate without hesitation.

“Each of us just makes the decisions we think are right.”
