Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 

However, Jessica Rodriguez did not hesitate at all. No matter how tightly Peter Moore held her hand, she slowly pulled her hand out of his grip. 

When Jessica finally removed her hand from his, Peter felt that his hope had disappeared altogether. 

“Jessica.” Peter’s eyes were extremely red, and a tear rolled down the corner of his eye. 

However, Jessica remained unmoved. 

“If you dream, you will wake up eventually,” she said quietly. 

“Mr. Moore, you can’t tell if it’s real or fake after putting on a show for so long. 

“I’ve been silent for way too long in this dream. Now that I’m awake, Mr. Moore, you should wake up as soon as possible too.” 

Jessica then turned around and left. 

The wedding was supposed to be an event of the year in Janeborough. 

However, it turned out to be the biggest joke in the city. 

The wedding ended abruptly, with the bride leaving and the groom crying alone. 

Fearing that Jessica Rodriguez would take things too hard, Marina Bailey took her back to her house. 

Marina had wanted to stay by Jessica’s side for a while. 

After all, the wedding took an ugly turn and blew up spectacularly today. 

Moreover, Jessica had a soft personality. 

She might take things the hard way if no one was by her side at this crucial moment. 

Marina did not want to take a chance. 

However, Jessica did not even shed a single tear. 

After returning home, she changed out of her wedding dress. 

She put on her usual clothes. 

After removing her makeup, she looked fresh and pure. 

However, what surprised Marina the most was the smile on Jessica’s face. 

“Marina, you don’t have to stay here to watch over me. I am okay by myself. Go about your day and stop worrying about me.” Jessica said gently. 

There was no hurt or sadness in her eyes. 

“Jessica, if you’re sad, just cry.” Marina lowered her voice. 

“Cry?” Jessica was slightly stunned. 

Then she smiled. “I’m probably sad, but now that the dust has finally settled, my heart is relaxed and calm. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Go ahead. I want to be alone for a while.” 

Marina looked at her and wanted to say something, but her cell phone suddenly rang. 

Marina wanted to ignore it, but her face suddenly changed after glancing at the caller ID. 

It was Aunt Daisy. 

“Go ahead. I’m fine, Marina. Moreover, I’m back with the Bailey family now. Your whole family is here. What can I do to myself?” Jessica said sincerely. 

Marina fell silent for a moment. She relented and nodded in the end. 

“Have a good rest first. Call me if you need anything.” Marina understood that Jessica needed her privacy at a time like this.

“Mhmm,” Jessica nodded. 

Marina looked at Jessica closely to ascertain she was all right before leaving the room. 

She took her cell phone and walked away. 

Marina closed the door behind her and answered the call. 

“Aunt Daisy.” 

“Marina, come over quickly. It’s Peter-” Daisy sounded very anxious. 

“What happened to him?” Marina’s brows furrowed. 

“Can you bring Jessica over if possible?” Daisy asked hesitantly. 

“I know I don’t have the right to ask for favors, but Peter…” Daisy choked on her words. 

There was also a commotion on the other end of the phone. 

It sounded like a hospital. 

Marina’s eyes flickered instantly. 

She was beyond words. 

Marina was on her way to see Daisy Bailey when she saw Simon Hernandez waiting in the living room. 

“Let’s go.” Simon extended his hand to her. 

He did not ask Marina where she was going, nor did he ask her about anything else. 

He was the strongest backup, always ready to protect and support her. 

“Mhmm,” Marina nodded assertively and placed her hand in his. 

Half an hour later. 

Marina and Simon arrived at the hospital. 

They realized it was extremely noisy inside when they got to the ward. 

The two pushed open the door and entered. Several doctors and nurses were trying to stop Peter. 

His face looked pale, and the back of his hand was stained with blood. 

From the looks of it, it was obvious that a needle had been forcefully removed. 

“Let go of me! I’m going to find her!” Peter struggled with all his might. 

However, the medical staff beside him pressed him down. 

Although his body was weak now, his will was strong, and he resisted. 

He used all his strength to push everyone away. 

Just as he thought he was free and was about to rush out of the ward. 

Two figures suddenly stood in front of him and blocked his way. 

Peter saw Marina standing in his way. 

He was taken aback and looked surprised. 

He stepped forward and grabbed Marina’s hand. “Marina, is Jessica with you? Can you take me to see her?” 

“I have so much to tell her!” he exclaimed. 

Peter looked anxious; he was about to lose his mind. 

However, Marina remained unmoved. 

She raised her hand and gave him a hard slap on his face.
