Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 9 Brushing Past

Tina returned to her bedroom and walked to the window with a serious expression. The thought of the little girl she had just saved at the entrance of the shopping mall furrowed her pretty brows tightly. She had immediately recognized that the girl had been poisoned, and the toxins in her body were concocted by her own mother, incredibly potent and aggressive. If the poison were to flare up, it would cause pus to form on the face and lead to necrosis. Someone had come looking for her mother before she died, and her mother's poison formula had been taken. It had taken Tina many years to develop the antidote to this poison. Resting her pale fingers on the windowsill, she tapped slowly and rhythmically.

The girl didn't have much time left. Who took the formula in the first place, and why would they target such a small child? Suddenly, Tina stopped tapping and pulled out her phone to call Cole.

"Check for me which hospital admitted a girl about five years old today, with a disfigured face."

Cole acknowledged and hung up the phone.

Tina leaned against the window, waiting silently. About half an hour later, Cole called back, "Found her at Ensford City Hospital, in the VIP ward of internal medicine." "Okay, got it."

Two days later, at Ensford City Hospital, Tina got out of a taxi and entered the hospital. At the same moment, a black sedan brushed past her. Inside the car, Jared's gaze fell on Tina through the rearview mirror, and he sharply commanded, "Stop the car!"

With a screech, Nathan braked abruptly, causing all three occupants to jolt forward. Nathan looked back and asked, "Mr. Farrell, what's wrong?"

Jared didn't answer him, and without waiting for his assistant Nathan to bring the wheelchair, he pushed open the car door and got out. His narrow eyes searched through the crowd for that figure, but found nothing. Hayden got out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"

Jared narrowed his eyes and withdrew his gaze, "Nothing, let's go."

Elsewhere, Tina entered the hospital and headed straight for the VIP ward of internal medicine. Standing at the door of the ward, she saw the little girl at a glance. The child had taken her medicine and looked much better. Tina's hand rested on the doorknob, pondering whether to enter. It was the most difficult decision she had faced in her life. Intervening could potentially expose her identity, and her mother's affair was a matter of great importance; she had to ensure absolute security.

Yet, when she thought of the clarity and brightness in the little girl's eyes, she hesitated. If someone had reached out to help her ten years ago, she wouldn't have had to watch her mother die before her eyes. She didn't want the same thing to happen to a five-year-old girl.

As she wavered, the ward door opened.

"Is it really you? Did you come to see me?" Sophia blinked her clear eyes and clutched Tina's hand, delighted. She had seen someone standing outside the ward and thought it might be the big sister who had saved her. She had rushed out, never expecting it really was her.
