Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 986: Uncle Got Naughty Tina nodded. She was running purely on willpower at this point, thinking only of going home and getting a good night's sleep.

Jared wrapped his arm around her and helped her into the car. Turning to Nathan in the driver's seat, he instructed, "Drive."

Nathan glanced back toward the building, where Hayden was still inside. "Mr. Farrell, about Hayden-"

He had been waiting outside and didn't know what had transpired inside.

Tina, leaning into Jared's embrace with her eyes closed, interjected, "Don't bother waiting for him. He's probably so ecstatic right now that he doesn't even know which way the door swings." Nathan fell silent. Moments like this convinced him that the phrase "fools have their own luck" was tailor-made for Hayden. Without needing the Cohen family to step in, with Tina and Master Tam involved, things were bound to work out in Hayden's favor.

When they got back home, Tina quickly took a shower and was just about to collapse into bed when Jared pulled her to the dining table. "Not so fast. Eat something first. I got your favorite- strawberry cake."

Tina squinted at him, her refusal ready but unspoken. She let Jared carry her to the table.

By the end, she was so exhausted she let Jared feed her bite by bite, too lazy to lift her own hand.

That night, Tina slept straight through to midnight. When she woke up, she drank a glass of water, responded to some work emails from Cole Lyon, and went right back to bed.

The next morning, feeling refreshed, Tina returned from her morning jog. As soon as she stepped into the entryway, she heard Jared call to her from the kitchen, "Tina, you've got a call."

She hummed in acknowledgment, realizing she had left her phone behind when she went out. Checking the missed call, she quickly returned it. "Jennie, what's wrong? Is Zackary feeling unwell?"

On the other end, Jennie sounded a little embarrassed. "No, Zackary's fine now. Actually, I was calling to ask if you might have some time soon. I need a favor."

"A favor?" Tina hesitated. "Who's the patient?"

She knew Jennie wouldn't ask unless it was someone close to her. But Hugo and Zackary's conditions weren't serious enough to require her involvement.
