Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel
Chapter 242

Chapter 242 

Pfft… 

Upon hearing Marina’s words, Quantum couldn’t help but burst out laughing. 

His sudden outburst immediately caught the attention of Marina and Black Panther. 

“Um… you guys continue. I just suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in my throat,” Quantum said, noticing the gaze from Black Panther and quickly looking 

away. 

He then pretended to be uncomfortable and rubbed his own neck.. 

Only then did Black Panther slowly withdraw her gaze. 

“I have thought about it, but after all these years, I haven’t found anyone who catches my eye.” Black Panther’s tone had a hint of frustration about being 

unmarried. 

Quantum couldn’t take it anymore, but he didn’t dare to laugh out loud again. 

He could only pinch his thigh hard. 

As a result, his face instantly turned red. 

There was even a hint of tears in his eyes. 

The mixed expression of crying and laughing made Quantum’s face appear weirdly distorted. 

Even Black Panther frowned in disdain while looking at him. 

“I think your friend might have some illness. If he’s sick, you should get him treated before letting him out and scaring people,” Black Panther said with a 

hint of annoyance. 

However, Marina just gave Quantum an indifferent look. 

“Don’t mind him. He’s always having these random convulsions. He’ll be fine in a while.” 

“Alright then.” Since Marina said so, Black Panther didn’t say anything further. 

After all, Marina’s medical skills were superb. 

If she said Quantum was fine, then he must be fine.. 

“Since you’re still thinking about getting married, you must listen to me from now on. No more alcohol. If you think drinking herbal drinks is lame, use a thermos bottle to cover it up. 

“No one can see what’s inside. You can even tell them you’re drinking human blood. It’s not a problem,” Marina redirected the conversation back to the original question. 

“No, that won’t work. Imagine me going out to rob with a thermos in my hand. It would immediately reduce my intimidation factor by hall,” Black Panther firmly rejected the idea. 

“Don’t you want to get married and have your own children?” Marina’s tone was firm. 

Black Panther was instantly taken aback. 

“…” 

“What? If you still want to get married and have children, then listen to me. Did you take the medication I gave you on time?” Marina disliked patients who didn’t follow instructions. 

With her temperament, she would have tied up disobedient patients and given them a harsh lesson. 

She wanted them to remember how miserable it could be for patients who didn’t listen. 

“I have been taking the medication you gave me on time every day!” Black Panther immediately raised her hand. 

“Continue taking it in the future, and pay more attention to your diet. Remember that you live on the sea. The men might not have major issues, but as a girl, you should be more cautious,” Marina instructed. 

“Alright, alright, I got it. You don’t have to keep nagging,” Black Panther actually felt quite afraid of Marina’s nagging. 

Normally, Marina didn’t seem like a talkative person. 

But once she transformed into a doctor, she tended to become a chatterbox, and she couldn’t control herself. 

“You better take my words to heart, or else you can forget about ever having children in your lifetime,” Marina gave her a stern look. 

Initially, Black Panther had been somewhat nonchalant. But upon hearing those words, a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes. 

After all, her biggest wish was to get married and have a dozen little kids to play with. 

“Alright, I promise I’ll listen to you from now on!” After much internal struggle, Black Panther finally gave Marina her assurance. 

“Alright.” With that affirmation, there was a slight relaxation in Marina’s expression. 

“Let’s g 

sgo. 

I’ll take you to rest. Once we find Humpback, I’ll notify you,” Black Panther said, leading Marina to the adjacent room. 

“Okay.” Marina didn’t refuse. 

Since she didn’t know the situation with Simon yet, she had to conserve her energy. That way, she would be able to assist him when he needed it. 

After returning to the room, Black Panther left, probably to avoid further nagging from Marina. 

She looked like she was afraid that Marina would continue to nag at her. 

As soon as Black Panther left, Quantum couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, sitting on the nearby sofa. 

He laughed so hard that his stomach began to ache, but he couldn’t stop himself. 

Marina stood in front of him, looking down at him. 

“How long are you going to keep acting stupid?” 

“It’s not… I find it a bit… funny,” Quantum managed to say between chuckles. 

“The fact that she, of all people, is still so… eager to get married? 

“Hahaha, I can’t help it, I’mpfiterally laughing until my stomach hurts…” 

Quantum collapsed onto the sofa. 

He laughed until he curled up into a ball. 

“Black Panther has surveillance in every room, and she can see everything you’re doing,” Marina said with a serious tone. 

As soon as Quantum heard that, he immediately stopped laughing. 

With a face full of terror, Quantum sat up quickly from the sofa. 

He quickly looked around the room. 

Why didn’t you say so earlier?” 

Oh no, it was over. 

If Black Panther found out he was mocking her here, she might squeeze his head until it burst. 

“If you’re so afraid, then why do you mock her behind her back?” Marina’s expression was stern. 

“I… I didn’t mean to mock her intentionally. I just couldn’t help myself… 

“Her appearance…” Quantum wanted to continue speaking, but he immediately stopped halfway. 

He had already said the wrong thing earlier, and he couldn’t make up for it with more nonsense. 

Otherwise, even if Marina was present, she probably couldn’t protect his head. 

Marina said sternly, “What’s wrong with her appearance? Do you know that she once single–handedly saved twenty innocent crew members on the brink of being killed by other pirates? 

“Do you know how old she was at that time? She was only thirteen years old, and at thirteen, she saved twenty precious lives. 

“What were you doing at thirteen? Were you still sitting at home waiting for your parents to wake you up for breakfast?” 

Upon hearing Marina’s words, Quantum’s expression froze on his face. 

“The human body is a gift from above, and she doesn’t have the right to choose her appearance. But instead of self–pity, she utilizes her strengths to empower others to their fullest potential. 

“What’s there to mock about? And what about you? You’re so small in stature. Can you also be ridiculed for it?” Marina’s words were deliberate and sterr 

Quantum opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words. 

“I’m sorry…” Quantum mumbled. 

“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.” After saying that, Marina walked straight into the room. 

She didn’t want to waste any more time dealing with such trivial matters. 

She just wanted to have a good rest and then look for Simon. 

Watching Marina leave, Quantum felt even more guilty. 

Then, he looked down at Phoenix in her arms. 

“Am I… really going too far?”
