Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Wraith ground his teeth and sneered at Peter Crispin, “How about we collaborate a few more times, exchange some more money, fifty-fifty split?”

“That sounds great!” Peter Crispin’s eyes lit up, and he stood up swiftly, beginning to calculate aloud, “I catch you once, the bounty is 130 million, fifty-fifty means 65 million each. A few more collaborations, and we can buy any house we want.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Shut up, you!” Seeing Tina’s displeased expression, Jayden kicked Peter Crispin in the rear, dragged him away, and politely apologized to Wraith, “Sorry for the disturbance, our fool here often wet the bed as a child, which must’ve waterlogged his brain.”

Wraith snorted coldly, ignoring him, and only looked towards Tina, “Spectre, if I don’t die, I’ll come looking for you again.”

Tina frowned, her beautiful brows creasing, and she quickly ordered her subordinates to tie up Wraith.

As they approached with handcuffs and leg irons, a dark gleam flashed through Wraith’s eyes. Just as they got close, he suddenly lifted his head and spat out several silver needles directly at their faces.

Tina, already anticipating his move, rushed forward with a cold glint in her eyes. Her right hand grabbed at the air, effortlessly catching the needles between her fingertips.

“Try your own poison,” she said, throwing the needles back into Wraith’s body. He grunted in pain, his eyes full of rage but unable to move.

Handling him was troublesome, as no one knew how many poisons he had hidden. Tina decided to cuff and shackle him herself.

Even so, she felt he was too dangerous. However, Jared Farrell was at home waiting for her to cure his poisoning, so she couldn’t personally escort Wraith.

Pondering briefly, she proposed to Wraith, “How about we compete again?”

“How would we compete?” Wraith’s eyes instantly brightened.

“Before you solve all these new poisons I’ve developed, you’re not allowed to escape,” Tina declared, grabbing Wraith’s jaw and stuffing a handful of medicine into his mouth.

Unsatisfied with just that, she sprinkled a bunch of poison powder on him and jabbed him several times with needles.

Yet, Wraith seemed completely unfazed, happily letting Tina proceed.

Onlookers watched the pair with awe, unsure who was more terrifying: Wraith, or the expressionless Tina deploying a barrage of poisons.

“Heh, I’ll tell you, this little trick won’t stop me. Before they even transport me, I’ll have solved it all,” Wraith confidently declared, “I’ll definitely come back for you!”

Tina smiled seductively, “We’ll see how long it takes for you to find your way back.”

Despite their prior agreement, everyone else remained on high alert.

Not satisfied with just handcuffs and leg irons, they put him in a containment suit and even sealed his mouth before loading him onto a prison van.

The sight resembled capturing a dangerous wild beast rather than a man.

As the prison van carrying Wraith departed, Jayden and his men brought out a stretcher bed with Amber on it, who had fainted from excessive blood loss.

Her hands covered her abdomen where the bleeding had stopped, but her pale face was still alarmingly white.

“Leave her to the police,” Tina said coldly, turning to leave, “Finish up here.”

Watching her slightly anxious departure, Jayden thought of Cole Lyon’s lament, “She’s grown up, hasn’t she?”

He couldn’t help but sigh; the young master was truly troubled.

Back at the Blue Cove Apartments.

When Tina arrived, Hayden Cohen was panicking as Jared Farrell had developed a sudden high fever, and the doctors he brought were helpless.

Relieved to see her, he pulled her into the bedroom saying, “You need to check on him, he’s reached 39 degrees Celsius, it could get worse, I fear he might become delirious.”

In the bedroom, Jared Farrell lay on a leather bed, his skin slightly reddened from the fever, his face showing a faint grayish tinge.

Tina frowned and immediately checked his pulse, confirming that residual toxins caused the fever.

She took out Empyrean Bloom and Sevenfold Peril, which had been delivered earlier that day, along with several herbs to make an antidote. After administering it, she started acupuncture to help expel the toxins.

Soon, Jared Farrell’s temperature began to drop.

The doctor, Leona Emerson, brought by Hayden, knew of Tina’s medical prowess and watched intently as she treated Jared.

Seeing her effortlessly cure what he couldn’t, he approached full of admiration, “Miss Reed, what was that medicine you used on Mr. Farrell?”

Before Tina could reply, Jared Farrell groaned uncomfortablyfrom his bed. “Don’t disturb her!” Hayden immediately stepped forward, picking up Leona Emerson and dragging him out, “Ask your questions later.”

Leona looked wronged, unsure of when he might get another chance to see Tina. Jared Farrell was notoriously stingy with her attention, rarely allowing anyone besides Nathan Lehman and Hayden Cohen access to her.

After sending Leona out of the apartment, Hayden returned to find Tina asleep by Jared’s bedside. Exhausted from the night’s high-speed escape and the events at Southridge Psychiatric Facility, she had clearly run out of energy.

Hayden stared at her sleeping figure, reflecting on the relationship between Jared and Tina. To everyone, it seemed Jared was more invested, his affection palpable. Tina, however, had always maintained a cool demeanor.

Perhaps she showed a hint more warmth towards Jared than others, but it was subtle at best. Thus, Hayden had quietly resented the imbalance on behalf of his friend.

But now, he felt reassured. The rare herbs, Sevenfold Peril and Empyrean Bloom, were not easy to obtain. Knowing Jared needed these for detoxification, Hayden had exhausted all his connections to no avail. He didn’t know how Tina managed to acquire them, but it must have cost her dearly.

He thought, “Tina must like Jared Farrell too.” Perhaps she wasn’t good at showing it, or maybe she hadn’t realized her feelings herself.

Carefully, he draped a blanket over Tina and quietly exited the room, his heart lighter than before.
