Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

In the northern district, Tina looked at the old lady in front of her with a cold expression and said, “Stop following me.”

The old lady, appearing pitiful, begged her, “Young lady, please be kind to the end and take me with you into the city. I don’t have a penny to my name, and I’ve lost my phone; I can’t contact my family.”

“I’m not a good person!” Tina growled in frustration.

The biggest mistake she had made in her life was acting out of kindness once to save this old lady, which had brought nothing but trouble upon her.

She had come down from Serenity Ridge that morning, planning to catch the nearest plane to Ensford, but right after leaving Serenity Ridge, she encountered a few people troubling the old lady, demanding she hand something over. Feeling sorry for her, Tina had drugged those people and rescued the old lady.

Little did she know, the old lady had become a sticky burden, insisting on sticking with her.

Tina had asked for the old lady’s home address, which turned out to be in the capital, so she had decided to show some kindness by getting her on a plane, as she was heading to the airport anyway.

However, on the way to the airport, they were ambushed again. Tina, not wanting to waste time, dealt with it promptly.

Unexpectedly, they encountered seven or eight different groups of people along the way, all from different organizations.

She didn’t know who the old lady was or whom she had angered, but she felt like spitting blood because she had missed her flight to Ensford because of this old lady.

She left the old lady behind and walked away, but the old lady stuck to her like glue.

Wherever Tina went, the old lady followed.

With no other choice, Tina had to bring the old lady along. She initially planned to have Cole arrange a car to take them to Ensford but, considering the old lady’s mysterious identity, she did not want to expose Cole and instead hired a private car.

On the way to Ensford, the pursuers were relentless. Since they were in a car, she couldn’t drug them, and they started ramming their vehicle.

The driver, terrified, refused to continue and abandoned them in the middle of nowhere.

Tina felt like dying. After dealing with the pursuers, she decided she wouldn’t take the old lady with her no matter what and walked away.

Fortunately, the place where the driver left them was not far from Ensford, so she walked into the city.

However, the old lady kept following her, probably realizing she had caused trouble, keeping her distance and not daring to speak to Tina.

But now, the people after the old lady had taken notice of Tina, and they stopped pursuing the old lady and started troubling her instead.

Tina had run out of drugs and had no choice but to fight.

At that moment, Tina was furious.

“You are a good person!” the old lady said earnestly. “Though your face is cold, your heart is warm. Young lady, I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble. Rest assured, once I find my family, I will repay you. Please, do me this favor and take me with you. Just get me to the airport.”

Tina, expressionless, replied, “For the last time, stop following me.”

With that said, she turned to leave.

The old lady hurriedly stopped her, “Then, could you lend me some money? We’ve already reached Ensford; those people probably won’t come looking for me anymore. Can I take a taxi to the airport by myself?”

Tina pinched the bridge of her nose, “I don’t have cash, only my phone. How can I lend you money if you’ve lost your phone?”

“This…” The old lady seemed on the verge of tears, “Then, please take me with you? My son and I just wanted to go to Serenity Ridge to find Master Tam. Who knew we would be hunted down, and we got separated. I don’t even know the way back, or else I wouldn’t trouble you. Please, take pity on this old woman.”

Tina’s gaze sharpened, “Master Tam?”

She knew Master Tam?

“Yes, we heard that Master Tam is living in seclusion at Serenity Ridge. We have something to ask him, but the terrain in Serenity Ridge is too complicated. We’ve attempted several times but never managed to get up there. Young lady, do you know Master Tam?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Tina stared at her for a long time, then after a moment of silence, she asked, “What is your relation to Master Tam?”

“We are…” The old lady was about to speak but then realized something and said, “Sorry, young lady, I can’t tell you about this matter, but I’m definitely not a bad person. Those who are after me are the bad ones.”

“Do bad people have ‘I am a bad person’ written on their faces?” Tina said with an expressionless face.

“I swear, I’m really not a bad person.”

Tina didn’t continue the conversation about good and bad people.

After pondering for a moment, she said, “I’ll take you to the airport, but if anything goes wrong, don’t follow me.”

“Okay, okay, no problem, I promise this is the last time. If someone troubles me again, then it must be my fate. I won’t follow you anymore.”

Tina said nothing more and continued walking with the old lady.

They had just entered the northern district, which was still remote with no taxis in sight, so they had to walk further to hail a cab.

Just as they took a few steps, a car approached.

Tina looked up and was momentarily stunned-it was Jared’s car.

The car stopped in front of her, Jared pushed the door open and stepped out, quickly walking towards her, “Tina, what happened?”

Tina stared at his legs in surprise, “You?”

Wasn’t he pretending to be disabled?

Not even using a wheelchair?

Then, Hayden and Nathan got out of the car, “We finally found you. You don’t know how worried Mr. Farrell was that something happened to you. He left the hotel without his wheelchair and got straight into the car. Thankfully, you’re alright.”

A warm feeling suddenly passed through Tina’s heart, and she felt a bit apologetic, “Sorry, something came up and delayed me. Should we reschedule the engagement?”

The engagement was set for twelve o’clock, and it was nearly one now. It was likely that both families wouldn’t wait any longer.

Jared touched her head, “It’s fine that you’re safe. There’s no need to postpone the engagement; I’ve explained everything to them, and they are still at the hotel.”

Tina nodded, “Then let’s go.”

Only then did Jared notice the old lady beside Tina, “Who is this?”

“Someone I saved on the road. We’ll go to the hotel first, and you can arrange for someone to take her to the airport later,” Tina said.

Jared had only brought one car, and there was definitely no time to take the old lady to the airport now.

Jared nodded, and then they all got into the car.

At the hotel, Jared tasked Nathan with taking the old lady to the airport.

Before leaving, the old lady stopped Tina, “Young lady, may I know your name? Once I safely return home, I’ll have my family come and thank you.”

“There’s no need! I hope we never meet again.”

The old lady looked a bit disheartened but did not insist further, “I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you. I’m leaving now, young lady. I wish you a happy engagement and a life filled with happiness.”

After the old lady left, Jared, Tina, and Hayden went up to the hotel.

In the elevator, Tina suddenly turned to Jared, “You’re just going up like this?”

Jared flashed a smile, “It’s time for me to be able to stand on my feet now.”
