Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

In a restaurant.

Tina, dressed in casual black attire and a duckbill cap, pushed the door open to the private room number given in the text message.

The person inside saw her and hurried to stand up, “Serena, here you are!”

His name was Cole Lyon, and like Tina, he had followed Master Tam. Over the years, he only took care of tasks for Tina.

“Mhm.” Tina took off her cap and placed it on a chair to the side, “The item?”

Cole handed her an envelope, “I originally intended to buy a villa, but due to the urgency of your request, I could only find an apartment in Pinkwater Ally. I had to pay three times the market price for it. Here are the property deed and the transfer procedures, all completed.”

The apartment cost a total of forty million dollars, enough to buy a villa. The thought alone made Cole wince at the loss.

“No problem, it’s not a big issue.”

Tina put the envelope into her bag and then took out a ceramic bottle, “Sell it.”

Cole’s eyes widened in shock, “One bottle? That much?”

These were Lotus Calm Tablets, fiercely sought after on the black market, with each tablet valued at five million dollars and nearly impossible to purchase even with ample money.

Because Serena only supplied one tablet at a time and would only offer another after four or five months, the value of the Lotus Calm Tablets remained exceedingly high.

Now, Serena had unexpectedly produced an entire bottle, which was nothing short of astonishing.

“Ah, spent forty million; need to make it back, or next month I’ll be eating dirt,” Tina pinched her temples, looking pained.

She was rather lazy and didn’t want to fuss over finances. Over the years, she made just about forty million dollars by selling Lotus Calm Tablets. Today, it was all spent in an instant.

She needed to make some money!

She also had to support her elderly father and her stepmother!

Oh right!

Hugo and Jennie had a son, attending kindergarten in a boarding school.

Jennie’s daughter, however, didn’t require Tina’s support. Elsa was older than her, had her own job, but after her return, Jennie had dipped into Elsa’s dowry, which meant Tina needed to earn that back as well.

Upon opening her eyes, all she could see were dollar signs!

Being lazy was no longer an option.

Cole’s lips twitched into an awkward smile, “Serena, doesn’t your conscience hurt saying that?”

Not to mention that just selling this bottle of Lotus Calm Tablets would bring in at least a hundred million dollars in revenue.

“I’m truly broke!” Tina blinked earnestly.

“Ah, right, you’re broke!” Cole looked skyward, speechless.

Tina stood up, put on her cap, and patted Cole on the shoulder, “I’m off then. The task of expanding our temple is in your hands then.”

Cole, “…”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

You really think highly of me.

Tina left the teahouse, planning to buy gifts for the family at a nearby mall.

As she approached the entrance, there was a commotion.

“Whose child is this? Aren’t the parents with her? Hurry, see what’s wrong with her; why is she convulsing?”

“It seems like the child came alone, and suddenly collapsed. Is she sick?”

“Is there a doctor? Come quickly and check on her!”

Tina’s gaze shifted to the crowd, and with just one look, her phoenix eyes narrowed.

On the ground lay a girl around five years old, with a face… so ugly it was hard to call it a face.

At this moment, as she convulsed, her already grotesque face became even more terrifying.

After a moment, she stepped towards the crowd.

Just as she parted the crowd, she heard a voice, “Ew! That child is so ugly!”

Tina looked over and saw Amber and two other girls standing there, their faces full of disgust.

Then another girl spoke, “Amber, don’t you work under Dr. Ward? Why don’t you go check on her? This girl looks pitiable.”

“I’ve only learned the basics, and this girl’s illness looks serious. I better call an ambulance,” Amber said with an undertone of indifference.

Tina passed them, her face cold as she glanced at them and moved through the crowd.

She picked up the little girl, laid her flat on the ground, and checked her breathing and pulse.

Amber, surprised to see Tina, intervened when Tina prepared to perform CPR, “Tina! What are you doing? Stop right now!”

Tina shot her a cold look and ignored her.

As she prepared to administer an injection, a middle-aged woman burst in, pushing Tina away and sheltering the little girl in her arms, “Who are you, and what are you doing to my young miss?”

Tina’s expression turned frigid to the extreme!

She loathed being disturbed while treating someone!

But seeing the little girl’s worsening condition, she still patiently explained, “She’s having an attack! I’m about to perform CPR.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman relaxed, “Are you a doctor?”

Before Tina could respond, Amber interjected, “Tina, don’t mess around. You haven’t even properly attended school; how can you administer emergency care? If something goes wrong, you could implicate the Reed family!”

Amber was genuinely afraid Tina would cause a disaster!

Now connected to the Reed family as Elizabeth’s granddaughter, any trouble for the Reed family would also mean trouble for her.

The surrounding crowd, having heard Amber’s words, chimed in, “Young lady, we appreciate you want to help, but you can’t overestimate your abilities! This is a life-and-death matter.”

“Let’s wait for the ambulance; I’ve already called one.”

The middle-aged woman’s face turned pale, holding the little girl tighter, “What? You haven’t been to medical school?”

Tina’s face was as cold as ice, and a chilling aura emanated from her.

Those familiar with her knew she was about to explode.

But before she could speak, the little girl suddenly started foaming at the mouth, her eyes rolling back, her complexion turning ashen as paper.

The middle-aged woman panicked, pleading, “Is there a doctor here? Someone save my young miss.”

Tina couldn’t contain her anger any longer. Snatching the little girl from the woman’s arms, she shot a look that said, “If you want her to die, keep interfering!”

The middle-aged woman froze, looked at her own young miss, then back at Tina, and ultimately kept silent.

Amber, seeing Tina continue with the injection despite the objections, turned green with anger and screeched, “Tina! Do you realize what you’re doing? Are you trying to doom the Reed family?”

Tina spun around, a flash of fierceness in her cool eyes, “Say one more word, and I’ll sew your mouth shut!”

Confronted with Tina’s icy gaze, Amber felt a chill run down her spine, rendered speechless.

Elsewhere.

A black sedan sped along, the air inside suddenly turning icy. Jared sat in the back, his expression stern, radiating an aura of lethal intent.

Hayden glanced at him and murmured, “I’ve arranged for the nearest doctor to head to the mall. Sophia will be fine.”

Sophia was Logan’s youngest granddaughter, the darling sister Jared adored and placed close to his heart. He hadn’t intended for her to come to Ensford, but Sophia had been feeling unhappy lately and had begged to join him there.

Unable to resist her pleas, Jared had moved her to Ensford and set her up in a villa, with a nanny who had always taken care of her.

These days, Sophia felt deeply insecure about her face, refusing to leave the house.

Jared had asked the nanny to take Sophia for a walk near the villa.

However, they ended up at the mall, and as they passed by, Sophia saw a pair of earrings she thought her future sister-in-law would love, and she insisted on going to the mall.

While the nanny was paying, people started pointing at Sophia, and overwhelmed, she ran away, triggering her condition.

The nanny, unable to find Sophia, promptly called Jared.

After reviewing the security footage and learning what had happened at the mall, they rushed over.

Jared’s slender fingers clenched his phone, his voice as cold as frost, “Drive faster!”
