Chapter 456 

“Everything’s fine. I feel like I can live a life similar to that in the past, Peter said, glancing down at his hands. 

During his time at home, he had almost forgotten about the changes his body had gone through. 

“That’s good to hear. I have an upcoming trip, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. If any uncontrollable situation occurs, contact the lab technician in my laboratory. Here’s his phone number, and I’ve already informed him, Marina said, showing Peter a phone number. 

“Okay,” Peter nodded. 

Then he inquired. “So, where are you planning to go this time?” 

“South Mountain, Marina replied without hesitation. 

“Is it dangerous?” After the traumatic events involving Lambert, Peter couldn’t help but feel an underlying fear about going 

out. 

“It shouldn’t be dangerous this time,” Marina reassured him, trying to alleviate his concerns. 

“That’s good. But please let me know if anything happens. You know my circumstances are different now, but I can still be of assistance, Peter offered, his eyes filled with genuine concern. 

Peter didn’t say much words but his eyes had revealed everything. 

If what happened to Lambert had left a psychological shadow on Marina, then the shadow left in Peter’s heart could only be deeper. 

After all, Peter had a chance to save Lambert back then. 

Maybe because he was a loser, so not only did he fail to save Lambert, but he even was even kept by them for research. 

He had thought that he had become strong enough during this period of time. 

However, he realized that his previous thoughts were really too naive, after experiencing a series of events. 

Marina responded with a soft “yes“. 

However, just as she was about to depart, Peter, who remained seated in the chair, suddenly stood up, looking hesitant and struggling to find the right words. 

“What’s wrong?” Marina turned back. 

“Hmmm… Peter tried several times, but he could not utter anything. 

“Well… there is nothing. I just want to say “take care‘ to you.” Peter chose to not say in the end. 

However, Marina did not leave immediately this time. Instead, Marina locked eyes with Peter for a moment. 

Her lips parted, and she spoke gently, “So, you wanted to know about Jessica, didn’t you?” 

Peter, whose thoughts had been read through, suddenly looked up at Marina. 

Startled, Peter looked up at Marina, torn between denying it and confessing his worries. 

After a brief internal struggle, he nodded and said, 

“Yes, I just wanted to know if you have any idea where she is now. When they took me away, I was convinced I wouldn’t 

survive. 

“And at that moment, my biggest regret was not being able to see her one last time,” Peter confessed. 

“Of course, I just wanted a glimpse of her from afar, as long as she was doing well, I’d be satisfied,” he added. 

“I can assure you, Marina, I won’t disrupt her current life, Peter promised emphatically. 

“L.. I just want to see her again,” he struggled to express his deep longing. 

It was difficult for Peter to say all these words. 

He himself also knew that he didn’t deserve to appear in the world of Jessica again 

But he really couldn’t control his heart from thinking about her. 

If he had known he would have loved her as much as he did now, he would never have agreed to that damn bet 

He would even not start those shadow romantic relations. 

But it was too late to repent 

Marina sighed, observing Peter’s cautious demeanor.

Finally, she decided to share an address with him. 

As soon as Peter heard the address, his eyes instantly lit up. 

The once forlorn man became alive with renewed hope. 

*I can promise you, Marina, I absolutely won’t disturb her or let her discover mel” Peter exclaimed, his voice filled with determination. 

“You’d better keep your word, Peter. Jessica didn’t even tell me about her secret departure because of you,” Marina warned. 

“I went through great lengths to find her current address,” Marina explained. 

“If she senses your presence and disappears again, I won’t go easy on you!” Marina’s tone was firm. “Rest assured. I won’t make the same mistake twice!” Peter declared, raising his hand as he made a solemn vow. 

“Alright. I’m leaving.” Marina said, choosing not to dwell on the topic any further. 

The reason she was willing to tell Peter was because of Sharon. 

After her older brother, Lambert, left, Sharon Hill seemed hollowed out. 

Life passed by in just a few short decades. 

In the blink of an eye, it was gone. 

If there was still genuine longing between two people, they shouldn’t waste time being apart. 

They should treasure every second they could spend together, 

Because one could never know when unexpected events might strike. 

After bidding farewell to Peter, Marina headed straight to the waiting car. 

And Simon was sitting in the back seat. 

The two of them wasted no time and drove directly to South Mountain. 

South Mountain was located in a particularly remote town. 

There were no high–speed trains or airplanes. 

The most convenient way to get there was by car. 

However, the roads were rugged, and Marina was jolted throughout the journey. 

When they finally arrived at their destination, 

Marina felt as if she had endured a challenging wilderness expedition. 

“Mr. Hernandez, Miss Bailey, it’s getting late. Let’s find a place to stay for the night and head to South Mountain Tomb early tomorrow,” Gavin suggested.
