Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina chuckled, “Just a minor issue. Drink more water and less soda in the future. Though the toxins are cleared, the effects can linger and should not be ignored. Keep drinking water to flush out the residues.”

“Thank you, Tina,” Elsa replied, pouring a glass of water for Tina as well. “I’ll be going back to work in a few days, and I’ll still need your help at home, it’s toug…”

“No need to say more,” Tina cut her off.

Elsa smiled, “What can I do, you’re just too likable. Even talking to you feels comforting.”

Sometimes she thought that she must have saved the galaxy in her past life to have met such a wonderful sister in this life.

She couldn’t properly honor her parents at home, nor take good care of Bobby. Without Tina, she didn’t know what she would do.

And this time, if it hadn’t been for Tina, she might have… already died.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

As an agent of the National Security Bureau, she knew well that people like her, if captured by enemy spies, would have no good end.

If it wasn’t for Mr. White needing her DNA to conceal her identity, and Heath wanting to extract national secrets from her, she might not have been left alive.

The last time they moved her, it was to permanently silence her. A few strands of hair and her eyes were enough for the DNA they needed.

If not for Tina finding her in time, her end would have been not just death, but possibly an untraceable one.

Tina tapped the back of her hand, “If you feel embarrassed, why don’t we take a backdoor approach?”

Elsa paused, “A backdoor?”

“Yes,” Tina’s peach blossom eyes twinkled mischievously.

“Tina, what are you planning?” Elsa asked, puzzled.

Tina pulled out a document from her bag, an idea she had since leaving the TCL institute.

She had not found the right place to implement it until now.

But with Elsa’s connections, she could find the perfect spot.

Elsa glanced over the document and immediately said, “I’ll report this to the leadership right now.”

Elsa was quicker to act than Jennie; she didn’t even wait for Tina to speak before she contacted her superiors.

Tina laughed helplessly, understanding where Zackary got his slowness from-it was all Hugo.

Clearly, Elsa took after Jennie.

Elsa quickly brought back what Tina needed, “Tina, our leaders agree, your idea is excellent, and the government will fully support it. We will provide the location for free, but all results must strictly adhere to national regulations and undergo the Security Bureau’s review. Do you agree?”

“Agreed,” Tina nodded.

The research she was doing would ultimately be handed over to the government; she had no intention of keeping it for herself.

Keeping it would be pointless anyway.

Tina packed up her things, “I’ll be going now.”

Jared was waiting outside and ushered her into the car.

Jared was in a good mood today, smiling as he handed Tina a box of strawberry cake.

No matter how many times she saw strawberry cake, Tina’s eyes would instantly light up.

“Uncle, I won’t just take your strawberry cake for nothing. Here, I’ll trade you this,” Tina handed over what she had in her hands.

Jared laughed upon opening it, “As expected, only Tina truly gets me.”

He was just about to settle the TCL lab when Tina had already found the perfect spot for it!

Tina spoke as she ate, “I think we should merge the TCL and YQ labs. Since our research directions are the same, there’s no need to maintain two separate labs.”

Elsa was led to the lab by their leader, where the state personally supervised the results. However, the honor still belonged to the lab, as previously agreed. “Take a look at the specific contract yourself, what do you think?” she said. She only wanted to fulfill her mother’s last wish, to complete the research her mother hadn’t had time to finish. As for everything else, she didn’t care.

Jared thought of his own mentor, and it left a bitter taste in his heart. After his mentor passed away, he had established TCL Laboratory to continue her research and ensure the legacy of these medical technologies. If TCL merged with YQ, the medical equipment would be even more powerful, and more resources would be available. Most importantly, this would also secure national certification, ensuring no one could interfere with the lab’s affairs anymore. Jared wouldn’t need to go through the higher-ups to keep the lab running.

“Tina, that’s a great idea,” Jared said, just as he was about to embrace Tina, only to see her turn away and quickly finish off a strawberry cake. Jared was speechless. “Do I really look like I’d steal your cake?” “Yes, very much so,” Tina replied, swallowing. “Uncle, this was our trade.”

Jared exhaled silently, noticing the cream lingering on Tina’s lips. He leaned in and gently kissed it away. The creamy fragrance mixed with the sweetness of strawberries was no match for Tina’s unique flavor. Jared gazed at Tina’s bright cheeks, feeling an unusual stir within him, wondering how much effort it would take to restrain himself. “She’s still too young for such beastly behavior,” he thought.

Hayden chimed in, “And you call that not being a beast! Who else would be if not you! My Serena, our goddess, you’ve ruined her!”

Tina blinked and looked into Jared’s eyes. Suddenly, she rushed forward, pinning him harshly against the car window. She leaned over, clasped his head with both hands, and kissed him deeply. Hayden, sitting in front, quietly pulled down the shade. “To my master and brothers: I never want to drive for Serena and Jared again! Never!”

Hayden drove to Kongham University. Today was the day Kongham University began its summer vacation. Courtney was already waiting at the gate, dressed in simple jeans, a white short-sleeved shirt, and carrying a worn canvas bag. She wore black-rimmed glasses that, if not careful, would disappear into the crowd. “Young lady, did you call for a ride?” Hayden whistled through the open window. Courtney coldly replied, “Can I file a complaint? Who drives a car with a Husky?” Tina also rolled down her window. “Get in.”

Courtney saw Tina and the chill on her face melted away. She walked around to the passenger side and got in. However, Tina’s gaze lingered, noticing Lysander approaching from a distance. “Tina,” Lysander said excitedly. Jared was silent. “This kid is relentless!” “Tina, what brings you here?” Lysander asked, bending over with a smile, his eyes seemingly fixed only on her. “I came to see a friend,” Tina glanced around and spotted the Reed family’s car nearby-Damian and Hawk. As she looked toward Damian, Lysander explained, “My dad said there’s a banquet at the Reed family tonight and he came to pick me up to attend.”
