Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared had just taken a few blows, worried that he might have broken a rib. “I’m fine,” he said, dismissing the minor injuries. He glanced disdainfully at Hayden, who was pale and vomiting, “Pathetic.” Two girls hadn’t thrown up, but Hayden, a grown man, couldn’t handle it.

After vomiting, Hayden looked at Jared and the other two, who were unfazed by the bloody scene. “Are you guys insane? How can you stand this?” Just then, the train jolted, causing the headless bodies to fall and hit the metal with dull thuds. Seeing this, Hayden turned around and vomited again. “Ugh…”

Jared sighed. He had planned for Hayden to call someone to clean up the mess to avoid a public scandal. Seeing how useless Hayden was, he rubbed his temples and pulled out his phone to call Nathan Lehman, who was tracking another lead. He noticed several missed calls from Nathan.

“Mr. Farrell! Did you find them?” Nathan asked excitedly as soon as he answered Jared’s call after almost two hours of no contact. “Is everything alright?”

“A minor issue, resolved,” Jared replied coldly, looking at the mess on the train roof. “Send someone to clean up.”

“Okay, I’ll locate your position right away.” As Nathan was about to hang up, he heard Hayden vomiting again and asked, “What’s wrong with Hayden? Did he eat something bad?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Yeah, too much crap,” Jared said nonchalantly.

Nathan was speechless. Did Hayden have such a strange hobby? Eating crap? What did it taste like? Ugh! He couldn’t think about it without feeling sick.

Nathan silently hung up and got to work. When Nathan arrived with special orders to stop the train and climbed onto the roof with his team, they understood why Hayden was vomiting so much. Several of their men couldn’t help but run aside to throw up as well.

Seeing their boss and the two calm girls, they all thought these three were really something else! Even Nathan felt like vomiting but forced himself to hold back so Mr. Farrell wouldn’t accuse him of eating too much crap too.

He gave a sympathetic look to Hayden, who was still throwing up uncontrollably. Poor guy! After such a traumatic night, would he ever recover?

After handing over the cleanup work to Nathan Lehman, Jared and Tina took Courtney into a new car prepared by Nathan. Since Hayden was “injured,” only the three of them went to retrieve something from Courtney’s location.

On the way, Tina watched Courtney check her arm wound. Tina observed Courtney closely; every time Courtney appeared in her sight, she displayed extraordinary abilities intentionally for Tina to see.

Tina leaned back in her leather seat, tapping on the window slowly. “Now you can tell us in detail about your story. Is that serum in your hand from your mother?” Her tone was calm and emotionless.

“Yes,” Courtney paused her actions. “Though my mother’s mission failed back then, Captain Lark-your mother-saved her life and gave her one of the serums. My mother entrusted it to me before she passed away.”

Before Tina could ask more questions, Courtney shook her head and continued, “I know what you’re wondering about-the reason for the mission’s failure back then. My mother never knew either; she died with that regret.”

Tina and Jared fell silent. The last mission led by Lark had failed disastrously, leaving a shadow over them for years without any answers.

When would the truth finally come out?

In the outskirts of the capital city stood the old YQ Research Institute.

Courtney led Tina and Jared through its rusty iron gates, startling some stray cats whose glowing green eyes watched them before jumping onto the walls.

“Here?” Jared frowned at the abandoned research institute.

“My mother built this place,” Tina said as she looked at the overgrown courtyard with mixed feelings. The medical patents developed here had once shocked the world.

“You hid something here?” Jared asked as he followed Courtney into the dark building. “My people searched this place thoroughly.”

“I know,” Courtney said as she turned on a light; surprisingly, the electricity still worked in this abandoned place. “I saw them take Lark’s research materials.”

Tina glanced at Jared. “Your mother was ahead of her time,” Jared explained. “She had many great ideas left unfinished when she passed away. I took her materials to continue her research.”

Tina nodded; she knew what research Jared was referring to-her mother had mentioned it before she died.

“If successful, that research could change medical history,” Tina said as she looked at the abandoned institute with renewed determination in her eyes.

Courtney motioned for them to follow her towards the basement. Just as Tina and Jared were about to follow, an old man in a white tank top and boxers emerged from a corner, clearly woken from his sleep.

“Hey! What are you doing here so late? Stealing scrap metal?” The old man glared at them before recognizing Courtney. “You again?!”

“I’m here to get something,” Courtney smiled as she tossed him a pack of cigarettes.

She explained to Tina and Jared that this old man was hired by the institute’s owner as security.

Security? Tina crossed her arms and scrutinized the unfriendly-looking old man…
