Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

After the phone call, Tina headed to Master Tam's room and kicked awake the eight brothers who were sleeping like logs. James was the first to stir, drowsily tugging at Dexter beside him, "Get up quick, we still need to settle accounts with Master."

One by one, the eight of them got up, looked around, and quieted down for a few seconds...

"Where's Master?"

Tina casually grabbed a magazine from the table and smacked each of them on the head. "By the time you notice, Master has already vanished without a trace!" James rubbed his head and pointed at Jared, "Serena, why don't you hit him?"

Tina immediately rewarded him with another smack, "He's my man, can you compare with that?"

Jared looked at them smugly, his expression practically asking for a beating.

What could they do? After all, he was Tina's man!

The brothers collectively thought: Do you know the sound of a heart breaking? If you don't, let us tell you, it echoes-can you compare with that?

After a round of scolding, Tina pointed to the garden outside, "Go fix the fence for me and frog jump around the villa ten times. No dinner until you're done!" "Serena, can we make it five laps?" Gavin looked at Tina with puppy eyes.

Tina glanced sideways, "You, fifteen laps!"

Hearing that, the other brothers ran off like smoke-fifteen laps was no joke!

Tina sighed deeply, "What's the use of having so many brothers if you can't even keep an eye on an old man."

Jared took Tina's hand, "Let's go. Since Master has already shown himself, he won't hide anymore. We'll have plenty of time later."

"Right."

Halfway there, Jared turned his head to look at Tina and pursed his lips, asking, "Didn't you notice anything when Master drugged you yesterday?"

At that, Tina lifted her eyes, a barely noticeable gleam flashing through, "No."

She truly hadn't noticed.

Jared raised an eyebrow, "Master Tam really lives up to his reputation."

He hadn't really looked into Master Tam's skills.

But to have taken in Tina and those eight disciples, his skills must be significant.

Tina's eyes narrowed slightly, calmly stating, "The person who drugged yesterday wasn't him."

Jared was taken aback, "You mean?"

Tina's lips curled slightly, a mysterious light shining in her enchanting eyes, "If there's someone in this world who can drug me unconscious, there wouldn't be a second person capable of that." It wasn't arrogance; it was confidence!

In the realm of medicine, she might not be the best, but she was certainly not lacking!

Especially with poisons!

Just as they got into the car, Jack's call came through.

Tina was a bit puzzled; Jack had never contacted her early in the morning before. Had something happened?

She paused for a moment, then answered the call, "Uncle."

"Tina, are you busy? Can you come to my house? My dad-he's had an accident!"

A shock ran through Tina, a sense of panic rising within her that she had never felt before, "Okay, I'll be right there!" Hanging up, Jared didn't dare delay, stomping on the accelerator and driving straight to the Brookes family manor.

Tina rushed out of the car and hurried inside, where Jack and Scarlett were waiting to greet her.

"What happened?" Tina asked in a low voice.

Scarlett was already in tears, but Jack was relatively composed, "This morning, Dad was fine, walking Kiki and Mimi, but before we could even eat, he suddenly collapsed without any apparent reason. The doctors are inside, but they can't find any cause at all."

Grandpa Brookes had old wounds that had troubled him before during his time in Clearwater. He had suffered a relapse there once, but had been stable since then. Previously, there were always signs before he fell ill, but this time he fainted without any warning.

"What kind of injury did Grandpa suffer from before?" Tina asked as they walked.

Jack bit his lip hard, deciding not to hide the truth anymore. "Your grandfather received news that someone had spotted Alina. But when he got there, all he found were several skeletons. The shock was too much for him; he fainted and ever since, his heart has been severely affected."

Tina paused in her steps. This illness, indeed, came without any forewarning. She had a gut feeling that this illness was not as straightforward as it seemed.

As they reached Grandpa Brookes' bedroom, the family doctor was inside providing treatment. Tina recognized this person. It was the internationally renowned cardiac surgeon, Professor Amanda Quinn, whose research Tina had studied in school.

Tina entered and asked, "Professor Quinn, how is he?"

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Professor Quinn looked up at Tina. "It's not good. There's something quite strange, though. His breathing is very steady, but his heartbeat is erratic, often even stopping abruptly. It's really unusual." "I'll take a look." Tina stepped forward and took hold of Grandpa Brookes' pulse.

Professor Quinn didn't underestimate her due to her youth; instead, she stepped back to give Tina room.

As Tina felt Grandpa Brookes' pulse, her frown deepened. Just as Amanda Quinn had described, his pulse was barely perceptible, yet his breathing was unusually steady, as if he were simply asleep. This was impossible. Observing Grandpa Brookes' complexion, which was pale yet lustrous and had normal lip color, Tina wrote a prescription and handed it to Professor Quinn. "Professor Quinn, could you prepare this for me, please? Thank you." Scarlett moved forward to take it, but Professor Quinn waved her off. "I need to do this myself. Timing is critical, and even a second's difference is not permissible. Young lady, you really are impressive." Receiving praise from Amanda Quinn was a rare honor worldwide.

Tina nodded in acknowledgment. She then took out the gold needles she always carried with her and sealed Grandpa Brookes' senses. The acupuncture points she was about to target would cause immense pain. Tina did not want to proceed this way, but she had no choice; Grandpa Brookes' symptoms were too peculiar, and risky measures were necessary.

One by one, as Tina inserted the needles, Grandpa Brookes' breathing became labored, and he appeared to be in pain.

Scarlett looked worried. Jack held her hand and silently shook his head. "Tina is a Spectre. She has her reasons for doing this," he explained.

Tina's identity as a Spectre had already been disclosed in the Lyon family, discovered by Jack, which was no surprise.

Meanwhile, as Tina was about to administer the final needle, she was suddenly propelled back by a strong force.

Jared caught her, concerned by her suddenly pale face. "You look unwell; what happened?"

Tina took a moment to catch her breath and steadied herself. Her gaze was icy as she stared intently at Grandpa Brookes and said firmly, "I also want to know exactly what is happening!"
