Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina looked at Master Tam; to say she held no resentment would be a lie. The death of her master had always been a sore spot for Tina, as she felt it was her inadequate medical skills that failed to save him. For a long time, Tina had been mired in self-doubt, blaming herself for her master's death. Besides Natalie, her master was the most important person to her, and his death had dealt her a significant blow.

Master Tam immediately compromised, thinking that eighty million dollars was already a lot; if it turned into eighty billion, wouldn't that truly be the end of him? "Girl, I was being hunted and had no choice but to fake my death to escape. I didn't want to drag you all into this, so I resorted to this last resort," Master Tam said as he rolled up his sleeve. A long scar was visible on his right arm. The scar was black around the edges and extremely deep, as deep as half a coin. Such a scar was clearly inflicted by a special kind of blade, and the blade was poisoned!

A flash of surprise crossed Tina's eyes as she quickly took Master Tam's hand, looking at the scar with distress, "You were poisoned, why didn't you ever tell me! Do you... do you have someone by your side who can cure this poison?" After examining the scar closely, Tina noticed that though it was gruesome, it was healing, and the blackness was residual poison that was no longer life-threatening.

Master Tam withdrew his arm and nodded, "Yes, there's a master friend of mine, I'll introduce you when the time comes."

Tina furrowed her brows. She was a medical genius, known as Spectre. But she knew that this poison was beyond her ability to cure. Were there really people in this country with medical skills superior to hers? It wasn't that Tina thought herself the best in the world, but such a skilled person was someone she had never heard of before. It was truly strange.

Over the years, as far as she knew, her master had no friends. The only person her master had ever called a friend was her mother. Even before her mother died, she had never met the master, which indicated that even if he had many friends in the past, he chose not to keep any connections with them.

Her master, who would boast about an exceptionally intelligent bird for half a month, how could he keep such a skilled friend a secret?

Master Tam, noticing Tina's scrutinizing gaze, picked up his teacup and took a sip, "You little rascal, why are you staring at me like that?"

Tina snatched the teacup from Master Tam's hands and asked, "Who exactly is this master friend of yours? And who are the people hunting you down, forcing you to fake your own death? There can't be many in this world who could push you to such an extent."

Master Tam smacked his lips, "Look at you, still so impatient. Listen to me, I'll explain slowly."

Taking a deep breath, Master Tam continued, "The people hunting me, you might have heard of them, are from the hidden families."

Tina and Jared were both startled, "People from the hidden families?"

As far as they knew, aside from the White and Brookes families, there were no others.

"Master, is it the White family or the Brookes family hunting you?" Tina asked.

Master Tam waved his hand dismissively, "Neither, the hidden families are numerous, but only the White and Brookes families are known today. My feud isn't related to those two, so don't worry about it. Especially the Brookes family, they're quite nice. Don't resist them; get along well."

Tina narrowed her eyes, "You've really been by my side all along!"

Master Tam, realizing he had slipped up, quickly changed the subject, "Girl, you mustn't tell anyone you've seen me. Though the people after me aren't from the White or Brookes families, they are still hidden families, and they communicate with each other. If they find out, all my efforts to hide will have been in vain."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I know," Tina exhaled slowly, her mind filling with even more doubts about the hidden families.

Hayden had mentioned that the hidden families were extremely secretive; one family that crossed them had vanished overnight.

Yet, looking at the Brookes and White families, they didn't seem like the type to completely annihilate others.

Could it be that there are different factions within the hidden families?

Who exactly was after Master Tam?

But what Tina really wanted to ask about was the mysterious expert who had been treating Master Tam's injuries.

Master Tam glanced at Tina, seeing the suspicion on her face and kept dodging her questions, fearful she would continue to probe.

But how could Tina let it go so easily? She slammed a promissory note down on the table, "Tell me, who is treating your injuries?"

"You impudent girl, I told you I'd introduce him when the time is right. Stop asking; you'll be told when you need to know." Master Tam took another sip of water, trying to mask his unease.

Tina grabbed the teacup to prevent Master Tam from drinking more, "Fine, don't tell me. Where are you living now? I'll move in with you."

"That's not appropriate; you're grown up, and it's not proper for us to live together," Master Tam said, waving his hands in refusal.

Tina's eyes narrowed slightly; it seemed the mysterious expert was living with Master Tam.

"You're getting old, I need to take care of you. If your house doesn't have enough room, I have plenty of space. You can move in with me," Tina insisted, gripping Master Tam's wrist, her bright eyes locking onto his. Master Tam struggled to free his arm, "Go live with your fiancé; I'm not moving in."

"No way, you must move in, or Uncle's promise of the $80 million doesn't count!" Master Tam looked at Jared, who simply shrugged, "In our house, Tina makes the rules."

"You wretch, how can you be so henpecked as a man!" Master Tam scolded Jared, who seemed pleased with himself.

This is an honorable title, being henpecked.

Unable to resist Tina, Master Tam finally agreed, "Alright, alright, I'll move in with you. But I can't stay at Hugo's. It wouldn't be right; he's not your real father."

Tina raised an eyebrow, "You know my real father?"

"Who knows that guy, I don't, I don't. Are we going now? Old folks need to rest early to avoid osteoporosis."

Tina stood up, "Let's go, right now."

After leaving the lounge, Jared led them directly to a vacant villa owned by the Farrell family.

Master Tam nodded in approval, "Hmm, which one is my room?"

Jared opened a south-facing room, "This one, do you like it?"

Master Tam walked around and inspected it, "I like it, I like it. Eh? It's a suite?"

Jared smiled, "I'm staying with you."

Master Tam clicked his tongue, "What do you mean you're staying with me? I want to change rooms!"

Saying this, Master Tam walked out and opened another room door.
