Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

After detoxifying Silas Blackwood, Tina cleaned his wounds. With swift and precise movements, she realigned his broken bones by touch and applied medicine to his exposed injuries, sparing the need to cut open his muscles.

Once the medicine was applied, Tina fixed splints to all of Silas Blackwood’s injured limbs and wrapped them up. Although she didn’t use any painkillers, Silas felt a significant reduction in pain after his bones were set. The cool sensation from the medicine made his wounds feel much better.

If it weren’t for his immobile limbs, he might have thought he was already healed. He couldn’t help but marvel at Spectre’s renowned medical skills.

“How long will it take for my injuries to fully heal?” he asked again, unable to contain his curiosity.

Tina gave him a meaningful look and replied, “Under normal circumstances, you should be able to walk normally in a month.”

However, this was under normal circumstances. While setting Silas’s bones, she had secretly inserted fine needles into his blood vessels.

“Spectre, can you save my brother?” Amber, now too frightened to offend Tina, cautiously spoke up after hearing that Silas’s broken limbs could heal in a month. She thought of her paralyzed brother Emrys and asked timidly.

It wasn’t that she had deep feelings for her adopted brother Emrys; he was just a very obedient tool. It would be a waste if he remained paralyzed. If there was hope, she certainly wanted to save him.

She put on her usual pitiful expression, tears welling up as she looked at Tina and continued, “My brother was injured protecting me from bad people and is now paralyzed. All the doctors we’ve hired said they couldn’t save him. You’re his only hope.

“My brother is a truly good person. Lying in bed every day is worse than death for him. Such a good person being harmed like this by evil people-please save him!”

Tina looked down at Amber, finding her plea amusing. If Amber knew that Tina was one of the “evil people” responsible for Emrys’s condition, her reaction would be quite dramatic. But Tina wasn’t ready to reveal her identity just yet.

“Save him?” Tina smiled slightly. “Sure, but there are conditions.”

“Name them! As long as I can do it, I will!” Amber looked at Tina with excitement and sincerity. “Even if it means serving you tea and water by your side, I’ll do it!”

She said the last part deliberately, hoping Spectre would indeed take her under her wing. Even if she couldn’t become a student right away, she believed she could eventually win favor.

If she knew that the woman she was so eager to please and even wanted to apprentice under was actually Tina, she might slap herself in anger.

“No need for such trouble.” Tina’s gaze shifted to Silas Blackwood lying on the bed. “Just kill him now, and I’ll save your brother.”

“What?!” Amber was shocked but found herself able to move again. She stood up as Tina pointed to the knife on the table used earlier for Silas’s wound care. “The knife is there. He can’t move now. One stab and he won’t be able to resist.”

“Spectre, what do you mean!” Silas Blackwood was equally shocked, glaring at Tina and demanding an answer.

Tina didn’t respond but looked at Amber instead. “What? Afraid?”

Amber looked between Tina and Silas Blackwood, finally focusing on the knife still stained with Silas’s blood. She thought about the benefits of bringing Spectre back to the Reed family to treat Emrys and gritted her teeth, picking up the knife and walking towards Silas.

“Amber, you dare kill me?” Silas’s face darkened ominously as he warned her, “Think carefully!”

Amber suddenly remembered that Silas had compromising material on her. If she killed him now, those photos and videos would be released online.

Clang-Amber dropped the knife, covering her face as tears streamed down. She pleaded with Tina, “I can’t do it. I can’t kill someone…”

“It seems you don’t care about your brother,” Tina sneered.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Amber lowered her eyes to hide her gloominess. Emrys was just a useful tool; he couldn’t compare to her reputation and future. If not for Silas’s leverage over her, she might have killed him without hesitation. But now she couldn’t.

For her own sake, she had to sacrifice Emrys.

“Get out.” Tina looked down at Amber coldly. “Don’t get in my way.”

“But…” Amber hesitated, glancing at Silas Blackwood.

“Not leaving? Do you want to kneel here forever?” Tina’s voice turned icy.

Terrified, Amber fled without another word.

“Spectre, what did you mean just now?!” Silas demanded once Amber was gone.

“Rook, you’re a bit slow.” Tina chuckled softly as she picked up a clean cloth from the table and began meticulously wiping the blood and ointment from her fingers.

The dim light in the cabin cast a warm glow on her slender fingers as she carefully cleaned each one from knuckle to nail.

Silas frowned in confusion until he noticed the unused wooden splints on the table. A sudden realization struck him. “How did you know I was buried in the cemetery?”

Tina paused and looked at him with a half-smile.

Silas’s heart sank under her gaze. “How did you know my limbs were broken and come prepared with splints and medicine?”

“You’re not entirely clueless,” Tina said as she put down the dirty cloth. She slipped one hand into her pocket while removing the ghost mask from her face with the other.

Silas’s pupils contracted as he stared in shock and anger at the mocking face revealed beneath the mask. “Tina Reed! It’s you!”

He couldn’t believe it-Spectre was actually Tina!

For the first time, Silas felt true fear. He had thought he held a favor from Spectre and remained calm even when Jared Farrell buried him alive because he believed Spectre would save him.

But now…

“You can’t kill me!” Silas tried to move but couldn’t due to his broken limbs. “You owe me a favor! You must save me! If you break your promise, everyone will know you’re untrustworthy!”

“I always keep my promises,” Tina said with a meaningful smile. “I’ve already fulfilled your condition.”
