Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 992: The First Three Months Are Crucial Warren stepped down from his position long ago, and he understood the nuances of the situation without needing much explanation. His questions held no ulterior motives but were driven by his concern for Tina.

"If even the hidden families can't deal with her, it means she's incredibly calculated. When you and Jared face off against her, always leave yourselves a way out. Don't confront her unless necessary. Your safety comes first," Warren said earnestly, his voice filled with genuine worry.

Hearing Warren speak with such gravity warmed Tina's heart. "I will, Grandpa," she assured him softly.

Warren smiled with relief and said no more.

As he aged, achievements and honors had become fleeting memories to him. At this point in his life, seeing his children and grandchildren thriving-and even anticipating the arrival of a great-grandchild-brought him more satisfaction than anything else. Fate had been kind to him; he had everything he could wish for.

When Jared returned, Tina was surrounded by her family, all showering her with care and attention.

The moment her uncle walked in, Tina's excitement outdid everyone else's. Right now, all she wanted to do was escape.

No one knew their child better than a parent, and Ruud's reaction upon realizing the situation was far more exaggerated than Tina had anticipated. Compared to her mother's calm demeanor, her father seemed to have taken on a mother's role instead.

Every word he spoke seemed to target Tina's nerves deliberately.

If not for the presence of her grandparents, Tina might very well have lost her patience. She'd rather have a straightforward argument than sit there listening to his endless nagging.

Jared walked in carrying bags filled with medicine, making Tina frown. "You actually went to get the medicine?"

Jared looked at her indulgently, his tone serious. "Of course. These are the tonics your mom specifically asked for to protect the baby. They're made from the best ingredients and good for your health. I'll prepare them for you to drink when we get home."

"For me to drink?" Tina froze and turned to Alina. "When did you two conspire to do this?"

She had been by their side the whole time; how had they exchanged the prescriptions without her noticing? And Jared had managed to get everything without missing a single thing.

Alina, unfazed by Tina's reaction, took the medicine bags from Jared and inspected them. She nodded in approval. "Take a few doses first to nourish your blood and energy. Come back in a few days for a checkup."

Jared listened intently and committed everything to memory.

Tina, however, stared at the medicine bags with a growing headache.
