Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 842:

She understood that this was a manifestation of his inner strength. Each time Paul approached the edge of a mental breakdown, this strength urged him not to succumb to the pain but to observe the past with detached clarity.

After six exhausting hours, Paul was visibly drained, prompting Marissa to stop. However, instead of waking Paul up, she gently commanded that he drift into a deep sleep.

Paul was already on the brink of exhaustion, and rousing him immediately would only worsen his fatigue. Marissa wanted to ensure he got the rest he desperately needed. As Paul’s emotions finally settled and he drifted into sleep, Marissa let out a sigh of relief and carefully shifted her position.

She was worn out, too. But unfortunately, sleep eluded her. No matter how tired she was, rest wouldn’t come. Without the Serene Rest Pills and the calming presence of Connor, she was left to endure this sleeplessness.

She had to wait on fate for any chance of sleep. It would be more than ten days before the Serene Rest Pills would arrive. Asking Connor to sleep beside her was out of the question. She had no idea how she would survive the coming days. If she remained awake for too long, she feared her body might simply give out.

As if on cue, Ferris suddenly messaged her. “Riss, I’ve got great news. The materials for the Serene Rest Pills arrived ahead of schedule. I’ve already got our team working overtime to make them, and they’ll be ready by tomorrow.”

“That’s fantastic! I’ll head back to Blebert tomorrow,” Marissa replied, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. After she ended the chat with Ferris, her spirits noticeably lifted.

She glanced over at Paul, still sound asleep, and decided she didn’t want to leave his side just yet. So, she settled in beside him and waited.

Feeling restless, she turned on her computer and resumed working on cracking the chip. As she immersed herself completely in the task, time slipped away unnoticed. Three more hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, Paul had woken up without Marissa even realizing it. Her fingers flew over the keyboard, moving with the precision of a machine, while the lines of code scrolled across the screen like an army of ants on the march.

A few days ago, after relentless effort, she had managed to crack most of the passwords. In the past three hours, she had finally cracked the last of them. When the final password was unlocked and the chip successfully opened, Marissa couldn’t help but let out a triumphant exclamation. “Yeah!”

Just then, a voice from behind her echoed her enthusiasm. “Well done…”

Hearing the praise from behind, Marissa froze. Hadn’t she put her father into a deep sleep? She quickly spun around to find Paul, now awake, sitting behind her and watching the computer screen.

“Dad?” she called out instinctively.

“Yes,” Paul replied with a smile, nodding his head.

He continued to shower her with praise. “Like father, like daughter. Your skills in cracking that chip are even sharper than mine ever were. I’m truly impressed.”noveldrama

Marissa blinked, taken aback by his words. Paul, now fully awakened from the hypnosis, spoke with a different tone, his voice subtly altered. He even casually implied that he was Brian. This signaled that the man before her was no longer Paul; he had fully embraced his identity as Brian from the Nash family in Blebert.
