Chapter 500
After Carter learned what had happened, he immediately arranged a flight back home.
However, the most recent flight was six hours later.
Peter really couldn’t wait any longer.
Thus, Carter arranged for a private jet
The two of them finally arrived at Janeborough in the early morning of the next day.
As soon as Peter came out of the airport, he rushed to the laboratory.
Marina was already waiting for him at the entrance.
As soon as Peter saw Marina, he immediately went up to her.
“Where is she now?” Peter grabbed Marina’s hand.
Peter looked extremely excited.
Because he was too excited, Peter did not control his strength well.
Marina’s hand hurt.
“Jessica’s inside. Come with me.” Marina did not say much. She turned around and led Peter into the laboratory.
Jessica was still lying quietly on the hospital bed.
The equipment beside the bed was closely monitoring Jessica’s physical data.
The moment Peter saw Jessica, his eyes turned red.
Ever since Jessica went missing, Peter had never cried.
Peter had always believed that he would always be able to find Jessica.
If anything happened to Jessica, Peter would simply follow her.
After all, Jessica had saved his life.
But now, looking at her lying here so alive. Peter could no longer hold back his tears.
“Although I know you’re very emotional right now, there are some things that I still have to explain to you.” Marina did not want to ruin this reunion but there was some information about Jessica that Marina had to let Peter know.
“Go ahead.” Peter immediately suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and turned to look at Marina beside him.
Marina then told Peter everything about how Sharon had saved Jessica.
After Peter heard this, his expression could not help but freeze.
Previously, Peter thought that a random kind–hearted person had saved Jessica.
Peter did not expect it to be Sharon.
Peter also did not expect Jessica’s body to mutate too.
“Will this affect Jessica’s body?” Peter was still most worried about Jessica’s physical condition.
“Jessica’s not affected much. We’ve already injected her with an inhibitor. From the looks of it, the inhibition is working quite well. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“But we’ll only know the details after Jessica wakes up and we run an examination on her,” Marina told Peter truthfully.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as Jessica is alive, nothing else matters,” Peter said slowly.
“You can stay here with Jessica. I’ll head back first. Seeing that Peter had accepted this fact so quickly, Marina got ready to leave them alone.
“Thank you.” Peter thanked her again.
There’s no need to be so courteous with me. Jessica is also my friend,” Marina said gravely.
After saying that, Marina turned around and left.
Only Peter and Jessica were left in the room.
Peter slowly sat beside Jessica’s bed.
Although Jessica had been missing for so many days, she did not look haggard. Instead, Jessica appeared full of vitality
It was as if Jessica had simply fallen asleep.
Peter slowly reached out and held Jessica’s hand.
“Jessica, can you hear me? If you can, can you open your eyes and look at me?”
Peter lowered his voice and whispered, as though he was deliberately suppressing his emotions.
What Peter did not know was that after he finished speaking, the monitoring equipment behind him quickly fluctuated.
Jessica felt as though she was lying in warm water.
The seawater was especially warm, engulfing Jessica’s entire body completely.
It felt like Jesica had returned to her mother’s womb.
It made Jessica feel especially at ease and safe. It made Jessica want to sleep like this forever.
However, in her dreamlike state, Jessica kept hearing someone calling her name.
The person’s tone sounded a little too anxious.
So much so that Jessica could not sleep soundly even if she wanted to.
In the end, Jessica had no choice but to open her eyes.
The moment Jessica opened her eyes, bright lights shone right at her.
Jessica was not used to it. She immediately raised her hand to block the lights.
However, Jessica realized that her hand seemed to be held by someone.
When she turned her head to take a look, Jessica’s expression could not help but freeze.
Peter was lying on the side of her bed, holding onto her hand tightly.
In a daze, Jessica quickly sobered up.
Memories from before she fell unconscious also surfaced.
“L… wasn’t dead?” Jessica wondered.
Jessica had thought that this time, she would definitely die.
Unexpectedly, luck was still with her.
Jessica had managed to survive.
Jessica subconsciously wanted to retract her hand.
However, this slight movement woke Peter up.
When Peter saw that Jessica had woken up, he immediately jumped up from his chair excitedly and fixed a burning look upon Jessica.
“Jessica, you’re awake?
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?
“I’ll get someone to come over and look at how you’re doing.”
Peter was so excited that he didn’t even give Jessica a chance to answer his own questions.
After saying that, Peter immediately got up and ran out of the ward.
Jessica was left alone on the bed.
A moment later, a large group of laboratory technicians surged into the room to give Jessica a thorough physical examination/
The final conclusion was that Jessica’s body was under control.
So far, the laboratory technicians had not found anything unusual.
Moreover, the injuries on Jesscia’s body had also healed very well.
There were basically no lasting effects.
Peter heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Under normal circumstances, after genetic mutation, the condition of one’s body would increase greatly.
However, Peter was still worried. That was why Peter made the laboratory technicians conduct a physical examination on Jessica.
After sending off the laboratory technicians, Peter returned to Jessica’s bedside.
“Are you tired? If you’re tired, take a rest. I’ll stay by your side. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.” Peter’s voice was gentle but firm, as though he was swearing an oath.
“Are you… alright?” Jessica asked.
“I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine from head to toe!” When Peter heard that Jessica was willing to talk to him, he immediately explained.
Seeing him like this, Jessica knew that his body was definitely fine.
Then, Jessica slowly closed her eyes.
Peter, who didn’t get a response, wasn’t too discouraged.
After all, Jessica had already taken the initiative to talk to him.
Even one sentence was enough to make him happy for half a day.
“Have a good rest. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Peter lowered his voice..
