Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

“Mr. Moore, you can go upstairs and rest now.” Lee reached out and wanted to snatch the pair of crystal cuff links back, but Peter did not let go. 

“Mr. Moore, Miss Bailey will be mad at you if you insist on doing this, Lee said again. 

Peter had no idea how to talk back. 

In the end. Peter had no other choice but to let go. 

With a long face, he had to watch Lee putting away the presents in front of him. 

Peter did not understand why he could not choose a present since he had clearly done something good. 

He was so sad. 

He felt that life was so unfair! 

The next morning. 

Marina went downstairs with a gloomy face. 

Without her blanket to keep her company, Marina almost could not fall asleep last night. 

As a result, she looked at Peter so sternly as if she wanted to eat him alive. 

Peter met Marina’s gaze and subconsciously moved aside. 

He did not dare to talk to her about choosing a present alone. 

Marina didn’t feel like eating breakfast at all because she did not sleep well. 

She carried her bag and walked to the door. 

“Marina, are you going out again today?” Peter asked in a low voice behind her. 

“Do you want me to stay home and teach you some manners instead?” Marina replied grumpily. 

Peter did not dare to say anything more. 

Marina left the villa. 

Then, she asked Lee to take her to the hospital. 

Half an hour later. 

The car arrived at its destination. 

Oscar stayed behind to watch the car while Lee followed Marina upstairs. 

In the ward. 

Robert’s head was wrapped in gauze. 

He was also wearing a neck collar, and his leg was in a cast. He looked rather miserable. 

However, even so, he was still staring at the nurse who was changing the dressing for him. 

“Miss, you know what, all the injuries I’ve got are like medals of honor for me!

Chapter 28 

“That was a dark and windy night. I was returning home when I suddenly saw a dozen big guys bullying a weak girl in the alley before me. 

“You know, for a man with a sense of justice like me, how could I put up with this kind of thing? So, I rushed forward without hesitation 

“With a left hook and a side kick. I fought ten people alone. I suffered some minor injuries, but those bullies were all taken down. They all begged for mercy on their knees!” 

The nurse was lost for words and in shock. 

Robert talked with great excitement, and the nurse in front of him was enthralled by his words. 

After all, for a girl her age, she always admired heroes a lot. 

A chuckle sounded in the room. 

Before Robert could finish his words, someone suddenly chuckled at the door. 

The nurse stood straight at once. 

“Who is so reckless to laugh at me?” The atmosphere that Robert created with effort was utterly gone at once. He turned his head and looked at the door in anger. 

Nevertheless, when he saw the figure standing at the door, he directly got off the bed in fear 

“You… Robert pointed at Marina, who was standing at the door with a frightened expression and even started to stutter. 

“Mr. Hernandez, are you okay?” The nurse hastened to go forward and tried to help Robert up. 

Yet, Robert just kept hiding behind the nurse. 

The nurse was entirely confused by his behavior. 

“Didn’t you say you could fight ten people alone? Didn’t you say you had beaten the bullies so hard that they all begged for mercy on their knees? So why are you hiding behind the nurse now?” Marina crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Robert with a smiling face. 

“Listen… listen, we are in the hospital. Don’t… don’t mess around… Robert looked at Marina as if he had seen a ghost. 

Marina was tough, for real! 

She would give others a severe beating if she were pissed off! 

“Isn’t it even better? If I beat you to death. I can directly send you to the morgue. However, if you are still alive, you can be taken into the operating room. This way, it can save me some time to call an ambulance.” Marina’s eyes were somewhat wry. 

“You, you, you… Robert became even more shocked upon hearing that. 

He kept pushing the nurse forward. 

The nurse almost could not help rolling her eyes with disdain. 

“You do not have to be so afraid. I will not beat you today. Upon seeing the scene, Marina cracked a bright smile. 

“Then… what do you want from me? The land in Wesiville has been returned to you, right?” Robert’s eyes were still filled 

with fear. 

“Are you the owner of the car with the plate number N8888?” Marina talked about her goal of coming to the hospital today. 

“Yeah. Why did you ask about it?” Robert frowned. 

Chapter 28 

“Who is driving that car now?” 

“It is…” Robert subconsciously wanted to answer her, but after saying a word, he suddenly stopped and looked at Marina with a wary expression. “Why did you ask about that?” 

“You do not get to ask me instead. All you need to do is answer my question,” Marina replied word by word. 

“I have given that car… to my family,” Robert answered, and his eyes slightly flickered. 

“Give me his contact details,” Marina said. 

“Why do you want his contact details?” Robert knitted his brows. 

Marina just stared at him with narrowed eyes rather than answering his question. 

Robert chickened out at once. 

However, on second thought, he found that it did not matter to tell her about it. 

Robert could take the opportunity to let his uncle teach this arrogant and bossy woman in front of him a lesson. 

He thought. “This woman must have fallen in love with my uncle after seeing him by accident. Now, she is going to badger 

him. 

“Huh, I know what this woman is up to! 

“But she has miscalculated. Everyone knows that my uncle has no interest in women at all! 

“And the thing he hates most is women chasing after him. 

“Moreover, he does not have compassion for women at all. If any woman dares to piss him off, he will beat her up mercilessly! 

“Huh. This woman will be done if she messes with my uncle!” 

“Then, you can take this down. Robert immediately put on a complacent look. 

He immediately gave Simon’s contact number to Marina. 

After getting what she wanted, Marina turned around and left the ward without hesitation. 

Staying on the ground, Robert finally let out a long sigh of relief after ensuring Marina had left. 

“Mr. Hernandez, can you go back to your bed now?” the nurse said to Robert with an aloof face. 

“Well… That woman is not an ordinary person. She… Robert knew what he had just done was a bit disgraceful. 

However, seeing that fierce woman, he could not help shivering all over. 

“I have no interest in knowing who that woman is. Please lie back in bed. I need to change the dressing for you. The nurse looked indifferent. 

Robert was rendered speechless. 

He did not dare to say anything more. He reached out his hand and wanted the nurse to support him. 

Nevertheless, the nurse stood aside with an indifferent look as if she did not see that. 

In the end, Robert had no choice but to press his hand against the cabinet aside, hobble over to the bed, and lie back on it. 

As for Marina, after getting out of the ward, she took her phone out and dialed the number Robert had given her. 

However, the moment she dialed the number, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
