Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Leo squinted his eyes, amazed that his most well-behaved son had been causing such turmoil behind his back. He had even ventured into the black market, exploiting his own power!

Truly, Leo had underestimated this problematic offspring. With a swift kick to Boris's chin, Leo nearly shattered his jawbone.

"You beast, shut your mouth! You're useless!" Boris was in so much pain he couldn't speak.

Disinterested in further engagement, Leo settled back into his chair.

"Jared, come in." Jared entered, his gaze coolly sweeping over the vermin on the floor. "Leo."

"This time, it's my fault for not supervising properly. I'll take responsibility for all the losses the Reed family has suffered. Go back and tell Tina not to worry about the biotech issue; I'll investigate it quietly. The Five Poisons are out of sight for now; we can only wait."

Jared agreed, "Alright, I understand."

Leo exhaled deeply and pulled out a contract.

"This should compensate Tina and the Reed family for their losses, which will be calculated separately." Jared looked at the document-it was an international business contract that could net thirty billion dollars in just one year. Without hesitation, he accepted the contract, knowing it would certainly appease Tina, the little miser.

"Leo, I'll be off then." Jared chuckled; dealing with Boris required no effort from him. Boris, still reeling from Leo's rebuke, and Grace, taken away for interrogation, indicated some peace for the time being.

Cole, holding the contract, couldn't hide his elation. Thirty billion dollars-that was equivalent to three years of his salary! Now, he could surely request a bonus from Serena.

Jared watched Cole's greedy expression and shook his head. No wonder he resembled Tina so closely, and Hayden's penny-pinching ways were clearly a tradition of Serenity Ridge.

"Achoo!" Hayden, just waking up, nearly tore a wound with his sneeze.

Paula quickly restrained him.

"Didn't I tell you to avoid sudden movements? Do you have any idea how many injuries you have?" Paula had been by his side in the hospital, sleepless, her eyes nearly swollen from crying by the time Hayden woke up.

"I'm fine, it must be Jared cursing me behind my back, or else I wouldn't have sneezed!" Hayden, propped against the headboard and bandaged all over, could only move his eyes.

"Paula, you didn't tell my family, did you?"

Paula shook her head.

"No, I heard from my father recently that grandpa isn't well; I didn't want to worry him."

Relieved, Hayden responded, "Good, otherwise they'd be worried. Oh, I'm hungry-has Jason woken up yet?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Paula, holding a thermal food container, fed Hayden.

"Jason hasn't woken up yet. Courtney is with him, so don't worry. Serena said it's just the anesthesia, he'll wake up later."

As Hayden nodded and ate, he said, "Yeah, with Serena and the boss handling it, there's nothing to worry about, I know, I'm not worried at all." Despite his words, Hayden's eyes were anxiously fixed on the door. Paula, sighing, set down the food container and fetched a wheelchair to help Hayden to Jason's room.

"Usually, you two aren't that close. Can't you wait?" Paula felt pity for Hayden, worried he might hurt his own wounds.

Hayden was stubborn.

"I'm just out for some fresh air," he retorted.

As they spoke, they arrived outside Jason's hospital room.

Natalie and Tina were sitting outside chatting. Seeing Hayden, Tina frowned.

"Who let you out?"

"Serena. I just came for a stroll. How's Jason? Still not awake? This is just great," Hayden grumbled.

Tina knew Hayden too well; she rolled her eyes at him.

"Courtney's inside. Just take a look from here."

Hayden was confused.

"What's the problem with Courtney being there? I'll just check on her too."

As Hayden attempted to wheel himself in, Paula quickly grabbed the wheelchair.

"If Serena isn't going inside, why should you? Just look from here!"

Hayden looked puzzled at Tina and Natalie. Indeed, why not go in?

Peering through the window, Hayden saw Courtney in a wheelchair, gently wiping Jason's face with a towel. Her movements were careful, her gaze seemingly tender. Hayden gasped in surprise.

"What the hell? When did this happen?"

"Weren't they always at odds? How did they end up together? And, is that really Courtney? It really is Courtney!"

Paula, on the other hand, wore a knowing smile.

"Courtney and Jason go well together. They might seem cold on the surface, but deep down, they're both gentler than anyone."

"Gentle?" Hayden looked up, astonished.

"There has to be a reason. Did Jason save Courtney's life or something?"

Natalie nodded.

"Sort of. I heard from the team that Jason gave the last healing pill to Courtney, and she found out."

Hayden finally felt relieved.

"I knew it. And I was still supporting that kid Orson. How could I let Jason get the upper hand!"

Speaking of Orson, he appeared at that moment.

He was holding flowers and various supplements, standing behind the group, watching Courtney tenderly caring for Jason through the glass.

"Tina, give these to Courtney when she comes out. I have to go now. Tell her to rest, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Orson had been visiting daily, but Courtney had been unconscious and unaware of the flowers he had sent.

Today, she woke up and immediately went to Jason's room after learning about the healing pill, oblivious to the flowers in her own room. Tina was at a loss for words, only managing to express her sentiment-my little girl is growing up!

Who to choose?

Orson had a good family background, was handsome, Jared's brother, a well-known eSports player, capable and wealthy. Not bad.

Jason, though orphaned, was self-made and highly regarded by Jared, a core member of the X Bureau. Also not bad.

Ah, a tough choice.

Natalie saw her daughter's dilemma and gently tapped her head.

"Don't worry about it, but remember to convey Orson's feelings to Courtney,"

Tina nodded.

"Understood."

"Serena, make sure to tell Courtney about Orson. That boy has been pursuing her for a long time. Don't let that old rascal Jason take advantage, and don't follow in your old footsteps!" As she spoke, Hayden felt a chill run down his spine.

He didn't dare look back, clutching Paula's hand.

"Run, run, Jared's coming. Run!"
