Chapter 421
Chapter 421
“Marina, what happened?” Simon immediately asked.
Because the scene in the dream was too real, Marina was still in a daze.
She stared at Simon for a moment before realizing that this was reality.
“Did
you
have a nightmare? Don’t worry, you’re awake now.” Simon knew that Marina must have been frightened by her
appearance.
“I just dreamt that Lambert…” Marina slowly got up.
There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
She still felt like she was in the dream.
When Simon heard this, the expression on his face changed.
“What did you dream about him?” Simon reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Then, he patted her back gently, wanting to comfort her in such a way.
“I dreamed that he came to say goodbye to me. When Marina said these words, her voice was trembling.
Simon’s expression changed instantly.
Could this be the so–called telepathy?
Could she feel that something had happened to Lambert?
Simon was about to speak when Marina spoke again.
“Lambert was very naughty when he was a child.
“But I’m the closest to him in the whole family.
“Because he was always able to bring me to do things my family wouldn’t let me do.
“We climbed up the tree to pick up the bird eggs, but I didn’t dare to come down.
“He stood under the tree and told me to jump down. He would catch me..
“In the end, not only did he not catch me, but he even made me fall.
“But he broke his arm trying to protect me.
“But not only did he not make a sound, he even came to comfort me.
“Even after he was punished by Grandpa, he kept smiling and saying that it was fine because he was the one who caused me to be injured.”
Marina’s voice was soft. Perhaps because the light in the room was dim, her thoughts seemed to drift away to a long time
ago.
Simon did not interrupt her. He just listened as she slowly recounted the events of her youth.
“There was another time. Lambert took me to ski.
“I wanted to hire a coach, but Lambert told me he was the best coach in the entire ski resort and insisted on teaching me personally.
“In the end, he knocked me into a pile of snow. Not only did he not pull me back immediately, but he also took out his phone to take photos of me.
“He said that looked like a bear when 1 fell.
“I was so angry that I learned how to ski in an hour and chased after him.
“I didn’t forgive him until he planted himself in the snow and let me take embarrassing photos of him.”
“He’s a good brother,” Simon said in a low voice.
“That’s right. Although I’ve never told Lambert, he has always been my favorite brother.” Marina’s voice was inexplicably
hoarse.
“Marina…” Simon lowered his head, wanting to say something.
However, looking at her slightly red eyes, Simon could not say the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget about it. Let’s wait a little longer.
He would wait until the night was over.
Chapter 421
“Do you know? Lambert told me that his wish was to become an athlete.
“He always had a great talent for sports. It was only later that he gave up on his ideals.
“Although he never said anything, I know he gave up because of me.
“What he’s doing now is especially dangerous, but every time he contacts me, he’s always smiling.
“Even when he’s injured, he would never complain to me.
“Although he seems to have been bullying me, he has always been a good brother.
“He’s been protecting me all along, even though these things have nothing to do with him.”
Marina’s words were still a little confusing.
Therefore, her words were a little incoherent.
Simon could not hear it clearly but knew Marina loved Lambert very much..
“Marina, go and sleep a little longer. Just lean in my arms. I’ll hug you,” Simon said in a low voice.
This time, Marina did not refuse.
She quietly snuggled in Simon’s arms.
A moment later, Marina’s breathing became stable.
Simon looked down at her. Even though she was asleep, Marina was still frowning nonstop.
He would let her sleep peacefully for another night.
Everything else could wait until dawn.
The next morning.
When Simon woke up, he realized Marina was no longer in bed with him.
He immediately lifted the blanket and hurriedly got out of bed.
He didn’t even have time to change his clothes before he pushed the door open and left.
However, after he left the bedroom, he saw Marina sitting in the living room.
As usual, she was sitting in front of the laptop. probably searching for news about Lambert and the others.
“You’re awake now. I didn’t wake you up earlier because you were sleeping soundly.” Hearing the commotion, Marina looked. up at Simon.
“Why are you getting up so early?” Simon quickly restrained the emotions on his face and slowly walked to Marina.
Marina closed the web page she was browsing without a trace.
Then she tilted her head back. “I slept more than enough last night. I couldn’t sleep anymore when I woke up, so I thought I’d see if I could find anything new.”
“Did you manage to find anything?” Simon sat next to her.
Marina shook her head.
