Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

At Moon Gate Estate, Amber had just returned from school in high spirits.

Upon entering, she immediately ran to Elizabeth, presenting the old lady with her test papers, “Grandma, the results from the mock exams are out, and I’ve ranked twentieth in the entire city. Our teacher said that I could choose any university in the country.”

“Really?” The old lady took the papers, glanced at the score, and couldn’t suppress her smile, “That’s wonderful! The Reed family has finally produced a top scholar.”

Amber smiled sweetly, “I’ll keep working hard, aiming to be the top scholar of Ensford.”

“Good! That’s my granddaughter for you, with such ambition!” praised the old lady.

At that moment, the nanny approached, saying, “Madam, Mr. Jared Farrell and Mr. Hayden Cohen have arrived.”

The old lady’s expression changed, “It must be about the engagement; the date is tomorrow, what shall we do? Things with Tina are still not settled.”

Amber pursed her lips and whispered, “Grandma, don’t worry yet. Isn’t it tomorrow? We still have a chance at the birthday party tonight.”

“Right,” the old lady composed herself and then instructed the nanny, “Please, let them in.”

Soon after, the nanny escorted Jared and the others in.

Jared was still in a wheelchair, pushed by Nathan.

Hayden stood by, a privileged heir with a carefree posture.

The old lady glanced at them, a flicker of disdain passing through her eyes, though she smiled and asked, “I wonder what brings Mr. Farrell here today?”

Jared’s tone was somewhat warmer than usual, “I’ve especially come today to thank Miss Amber for saving my sister’s life.”

Elizabeth and Amber were both taken aback, exchanging puzzled looks.

Elizabeth, the wiser, chose not to speak.

Amber also remained silent, lips pursed as if deep in thought.

Seeing Amber’s silence, Hayden thought she didn’t want to reveal the incident and said, “Miss Amber, you shouldn’t feel pressured. We came today just to express our gratitude. As for the matter of you saving Sophia, we won’t tell anyone.”

Amber then realized they were talking about the girl at the mall entrance, Jared’s sister.

But Sophia’s illness was serious. Could Tina have accidentally cured her?

Before Amber could speak, Jared gave Nathan a look.

Nathan immediately presented their prepared gifts, “We’ve heard that Miss Amber has been studying medicine under Dr. Ward, so we’ve prepared some herbal medicines for you: millennium ganoderma, century-old ginseng, and ten kinds of each rare medicinal material…”

Amber’s eyes lit up before Nathan could finish.

My goodness!

These ingredients were priceless, not available for purchase even with money!

And they were in such limited supply that using one meant there was one less.

Jared was so generous to give all of these to her?

No, that’s not right!

It must be his grandfather who was generous!

Sophia was Logan’s most beloved granddaughter!

“Here is a check for fifty million dollars,” Nathan said, handing Amber the check, “If you have any other needs, feel free to tell us, and we will try to accommodate them.”

Amber, looking at the check and the precious medicinal materials in her hands, was completely stunned.

It took her a while to regain her composure, smiling as she said, “Dr. Ward often teaches me that a physician should be benevolent, and saving lives is a doctor’s duty. I don’t need the check…”

Before she could finish, Elizabeth stood up abruptly, “Amber!”

Did she realize what she was doing?

This was a fifty million dollar check!

It could support the Reed family for a while.

Amber turned, giving her grandmother a reassuring look.

Despite her reluctance, the old lady said no more.

Amber turned back around, continuing, “As for the medicinal materials, Mr. Farrell, could you possibly name a price? We would like to buy them. As you know, I am studying medicine, and these materials are very much needed.”

Jared’s attractive phoenix eyes lifted slightly, his cool lips curving into a slight smile, “Once the Farrell family gives something away, there’s no taking it back.”

Amber’s lips curled into a triumphant smile, “Mr. Farrell, there’s no need…”

Before she could finish, Jared turned to the old lady, “Oh, and about Miss Tina’s engagement party, let’s postpone it by ten days.”

Amber’s smile froze.

What did he mean?

Did Jared think that because she had cured Sophia and saw her potential, he no longer wanted to marry Tina and now wanted to marry her?

Was this ten-day delay to pursue her?

How could this be possible?

Elizabeth was also taken aback by Jared’s sudden postponement of the engagement and asked anxiously, “Why isJared replied calmly, “There are some matters I need to take care of.”

Amber’s nerves tightened at his response.

Jared must not want to marry Tina anymore, using this as a pretext to delay.

What to do?

Should she tell Jared now that it wasn’t her who cured Sophia?

But looking at those precious medicinal materials…

Dr. Ward had been tackling a complex disease recently and needed fifty-year-old ginseng; Jared had provided century-old ginseng. If she gave it to Dr. Ward, she might gain more of his favor.

Everyone knew that Dr. Ward had taken her on as an apprentice, but they didn’t know she was only a peripheral disciple with limited access to knowledge.

Amber’s fingers tightened at her sides, and she swallowed the words she was about to speak.

She needed those medicinal materials!

And Jared had to marry Tina!

“But…”

Elizabeth wanted to say more, but Jared took his leave, “I have other matters to attend to, I won’t disturb you any further.”

Only after Jared had left did Elizabeth turn to Amber.

“Amber, what’s going on?” she asked, bewildered by the sudden thanks and postponed engagement.

Amber bit her lip, her face pale, “Grandma, I think it’s because I cured Mr. Farrell’s sister, and now he’s suddenly taken an interest in me! What should we do? If the Farrell family insists on marrying me off…”

“No!” Elizabeth stood up fiercely, “You cannot marry him!”

Although Jared’s gesture of fifty million dollars was substantial, he was still a man with a disability.

Amber deserved the best, someone who could bring more glory to the Reed family.

Her ambition was not just Ensford, but the capital!

Amber was her trump card! She needed to use Amber to displace their powerful relatives in the capital.

“But…” Amber looked down, her voice soft, “Mr. Farrell kept looking at me the whole time, he might have already decided on me.”

Elizabeth’s expression darkened, pacing back and forth.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Amber didn’t interrupt her.

After a moment, Elizabeth stopped and said to Amber, “Then let’s make it too late to regret.”

Amber was startled, “Grandma, what do you mean?”

“Call him later and invite him to tonight’s birthday party,” Elizabeth instructed.

“Will he come?” Amber was doubtful.

If it were her birthday, inviting Jared would certainly bring him.

But it was ultimately her aunt’s birthday.

“Others might not get him to come, but you saved Miss Farrell, he will come,” Elizabeth said with conviction.

Seeing this, Amber nodded, “Okay, I understand.”
