Chapter 242
Pfft…
Upon hearing Marina’s words, Quantum couldn’t help but burst outughing.
His sudden outburst immediately caught the attention of Marina and ck Panther.
“Um… you guys continue. I just suddenly felt a bit ufortable in my throat,” Quantum said, noticing
the gaze from ck Panther and quickly looking
away.
He then pretended to be ufortable and rubbed his own neck..
Only then did ck Panther slowly withdraw her gaze.
“I have thought about it, but after all these years, I haven’t found anyone who catches my eye.” ck
Panther’s tone had a hint of frustration about being
unmarried.
Quantum couldn’t take it anymore, but he didn’t dare tough 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 andughing made Quantum’s face appear weirdly distorted.
Even ck 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,” ck 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, ck 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 isme, 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,” ck Panther firmly rejected the idea.
“Don’t you want to get married and have your own children?” Marina’s tone was firm.
ck 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!” ck 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,” ck 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 be 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, ck Panther had been somewhat nonchnt. 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 y with.
“Alright, I promise I’ll listen to you from now on!” After much internal struggle, ck Panther finally gave
Marina her assurance.
“Alright.” With that affirmation, there was a slight rxation in Marina’s expression.
“Let’s g
sgo.
I’ll take you to rest. Once we find Humpback, I’ll notify you,” ck 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, ck 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 ck Panther left, Quantum couldn’t hold back and burst intoughter, sitting on the
nearby sofa.
Heughed 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’mpfiterallyughing until my stomach hurts…”
Quantum copsed onto the sofa.
Heughed until he curled up into a ball.
“ck Panther has surveince 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 stoppedughing.
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 ck 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?”
