Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 402: A Different Feeling

Every time Tina was with Ian, she felt a warmth. This warmth was different from when she was with Hugo. Hugo treated her well because of his mother, loving her as an extension of his affection for his mother, and Jennie did the same. Though their kindness was born out of association, it was sincere. However, the warmth with Ian felt innate. Especially when Ian looked at her, there was no difference in how he looked at Kiki and Mimi.

Tina had a long conversation with Ian in the hospital room while Scarlett brought out many snacks, caring for them like children. At the end, Tina bid farewell, "I'll come to see you again. It's going to get cooler in a few days, wear more, don't wear such thin shirts." Ian nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, I'll buy some warm clothes tomorrow, and dress warmly." Scarlett sighed at the side, "Just listen to Tina, I've told you before to wear more, but you never listen." They all laughed, and Tina got up to leave.

After she left, Ian's smile gradually stiffened, mixed with a hint of reluctance. "Is everything collected?" Ian asked. Scarlett nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, I've already collected the cup Tina used. I'll hand it over to Jack tonight to personally oversee the paternity test." Ian sighed silently and sat down, continuing to play with his granddaughters.

Meanwhile, Tina returned to the Reed family. She pushed open the door, a cold breeze hit her, and she wrapped her coat tighter, about to return to her room when she encountered Muff. "Muff," Tina greeted him lightly. Muff responded, his eyes hesitating as he looked at Tina. Tina noticed, "Is something the matter?" After a moment of silence, Muff asked, "Do you know where your father is?" Tina laughed, her gaze cold as she glanced at Muff, "You don't know?" "I don't know, I'm a bit worried, can you ask Jared to look for him? I'm afraid he's in danger." Muff's eyes drooped, obscuring his thoughts. "Okay, if Muff needs it," Tina chuckled, then returned to her room. Muff watched Tina's room door for a long time. Soon after, he moved and walked out of Whispering Pines.

Tina stood by her bedroom window, watching as Muff's car slowly drove away, her lips curling into a faint, elusive smile. Muff's car arrived at an apartment. As he opened the door, a strong smell of blood greeted him. "Are you alright?" Muff stepped forward, examining his wound. Jasper sat on the sofa, the table in front of him laid out with various medical supplies. After escaping from Jared's men, he had been hiding under Muff's arrangement, avoiding all surveillance by the X bureau and returned to the apartment. This place was only known to him and Muff, making it the most secretive location. Jasper's lips were pale; the gunshot from Tina had nearly crippled his hand, and as he fled, Jared's bullets had hit him, injuring him in multiple places. Moreover, the wounds had almost become infected after escaping through the sea. If not for Muff, he would have either died at sea or from the infections. He coldly responded to Muff, "I'm not dead yet, to your disappointment." Muff, accustomed to Jasper's attitude, showed no surprise, "Jared and Tina weren't led there by me."

"I know."

Jasper impatiently interrupted Muff, "What brings you here exactly?"

Muff pursed his lips, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seeming to tremble slightly, "I came to see you."

"Having seen me, you can leave now. Don't come over if there's nothing important, it would be even more troublesome if Tina and Jared find out."

Jasper clearly did not want to continue the conversation with Muff. After changing his medication, he returned to his bedroom.

Muff listened to the resounding slam of the door, his gaze gradually dimming.
