Chapter 497
When Peter woke up, he was at a loss for a moment.
After a while, his eyes slowly regained focus.
Then, he turned around and saw Marina and Simon standing by his bed.
“Marina…” He subconsciously called.
“Do you feel okay now?” Hearing Peter’s voice, Marina knew that he should be awake now.
Then, she walked out from behind Simon.
“I’m fine. I just feel a little tired. Shouldn’t I be at sea? Why am I back all of a sudden?” Peter asked, feeling a little dizzy.
He subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to rub his head.
However, he realized that he could not move his hand.
When he turned around, he realized that his hands were tied up.
It was the same for his feet. They couldn’t move at all.
Suddenly, Peter seemed to realize something.
Then, he suddenly looked up at Marina.
“I… lost control?”
Marina nodded.
“Did L… Peter wanted to ask if he had caused any casualties.
However, at that moment, some blurry images suddenly popped into his mind.
In those images, he seemed to see himself covered in blood.
In an instant, he felt his head swell and ache.
“What’s wrong?” Peter and Marina quickly went forward when they saw him like this.
“I… Peter wanted to say something, but the headache was so strong that he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Marina immediately untied the rope that bound his hands and feet.
She wanted to give him a checkup.
However, Peter hugged his head and curled up on the bed.
“Peter…” Marina wanted to step forward, but Peter stopped her.
“Don’t come over!” Peter’s voice was stern and anxious.
Because he didn’t know if he would lose control again.
What if he lost himself again suddenly? He did not want to hurt Marina.
Looking at Peter, Marina could only stand on the spot.
After a few minutes, Peter felt that the dull pain in his head finally dissipated a little.
Only then did he lie on the bed weakly.
Then he gasped for breath.
Peter’s clothes were completely drenched.
His hair was covered in sweat.
One could imagine what kind of pain he had gone through in those few minutes.
“Are you alright?” Marina asked in a hoarse voice.
Peter gave a dip of his head in response.
“Rest well. I’ve already called the laboratory. They said that they’re working on a new inhibitor,” Marina said slowly.
“Jessica…” However, Peter, who was about to fall into a daze, murmured Jessica’s name.
Marina did not hear it clearly at first, so she stepped forward.
When she heard Jessica’s name, her countenance changed drastically.

“Rest well first. I will try my best to find Jessica,” Marina said in a gentle voice.
When Peter heard this, he finally could not hold on anymore.
Slowly, he closed his eyes.
What happened just now drained Peter’s energy.
As a result, he fell into a deep slumber.
After confirming that Peter’s situation had stabilized, Marina and Simon stopped staying by his side.
However, there were bodyguards arranged at the door in case of emergency.
Meanwhile, Marina joined the search for Jessica.
Another week passed.
They were still getting nowhere.
On this day.
Marina had just come back when she saw Peter waiting at the door.
“Why are you up? You haven’t fully recovered yet. Go back and rest,” said Marina with a frown.
“You guys can go back, Peter said, standing rooted to the ground.
“What did you say?” Marina frowned.
For a moment, she wondered if she was hallucinating.
“All of you can go back. Leave this to me.
“Evan and Emily are waiting for you at home. They’re young and can’t be separated from their parents for too long.
When Peter said these words. his expression was especially serious.
“I haven’t found Jessica yet. Marina didn’t want to go back just like that.
“That’s why I’m staying. Don’t worry, I’ll find her!” Peter said word by word.
However, Marina clearly did not believe Peter’s words.
“But your body has lost control once. This means that the previous inhibitor doesn’t have much effect on your body
anymore.
“I can’t leave you here alone,” Marina spoke in a decided voice.
“That’s because I’ve suffered violent mood swings previously. Coupled with the fact that I didn’t get injected with the inhibitor on time, I lost control.
“But now, I can promise you that I will control my emotions well and get injected on time. It will definitely not happen.” Peter promised again and again.
However, Marina did not relent.
Peter looked at Marina and only took a step forward.
He stood quietly in front of Marina.
“Marina, Jessica was involved in these things because of me.
“This has nothing to do with you at all. You’ve been delayed here for a long time.
“Go back with Simon. Go back and take care of Evan and Emily.
“Jessica likes the two little guys so much. If she knew that they left their parents for so long because of her, she would definitely not be at ease.
“If you really want what’s best for her, then go back. If you’re still worried, just send me some people. I’m sure I can find her eventually!” Peter said word by word.
Marina stared at him for a while, but in the end, she did not say anything. She turned around and went back to her room. Peter could only shift his gaze to Simon.
“Help me persuade her. Babies can’t live without a mother. They’re just one month old. They will feel insecure without a mother by their side.
I’ll try every way to find Jessica. If I have any news, I’ll let you guys know as soon as possible,” Peter said to Simon in a pleading tone for the first time.
“Alright!” Simon nodded.

Thank you.” Peter then walked toward the elevator.
He let the responsibility to find Jessica born on him alone.
He had only taken one step when Simon called out to him again.
“I’ll leave Carter with you. They’ll do their best to help you find Mrs. Campbell,” Simon said firmly.
“Thank you.” Peter thanked him again.
The next morning.
Peter went missing.
Marina’s first reaction after hearing this news was to look for him.
But Simon stopped her.
