Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina: ...Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Jared: ...

Courtney: ...

"What do you mean by bringing oneself back to life? Isn't the orderly flourishing and withering of all things a law of nature?"

"Even a dead plant can be regenerated, right?" "No."

Austin, sitting in the back, noticed the surprised expressions on the faces of the three and became anxious, fearing his wife couldn't explain clearly, "Elsa, let me explain. Miss Reed, it's like this."

"Whether it's poisoned or its roots are damaged, just a drop of its juice is needed. Within a day, this herb will grow back to its current state."

He pointed to the herb, still vibrant and green despite being boxed up, "Not only that. Its juice can also revive other small plants of a similar size. Those people coveted this herb for its abilities, which is why they stole it." Tina's eyes brightened, "But this herb can't cure people, right?"

Plants and animals, though both are life forms, are fundamentally different from a biological standpoint.

This herb may seem magical, but if it can't even save a plant slightly larger than itself, how could it revive dead flesh and bones?

Elsa nodded indeed, "It is just an herb, not some kind of miracle elixir. How could it possibly revive the dead? In fact, this thing isn't much related to immortality."

Tina noticed a flash of hatred in Elsa's eyes, "But someone leaked the fact that the Dyer family owned this herb. Those people thought that since it can heal plants, it must contain genes for immortality. They wanted to take it for research, but this is our family heirloom. We, the Dyer family, have only this one thing. My father would never agree, so they killed my entire family!"

"It's my fault, I'm powerless to avenge them!"

Elsa's hands trembled as she held the box.

Tina raised an eyebrow. The Dyer family was murdered?

Wasn't it said that her parents committed suicide due to business failures and a broken financial chain?

Concerning the Dyer family's affairs, she hadn't had the chance to investigate yet, only hearing a few versions told by others, naturally assuming Elsa's parents had committed suicide.

Seeing Elsa's eyes red, Tina patted her shoulder soothingly, "Elsa, what do you want me to do for you?"

"This thing is of no use to me."

Elsa pushed the box forward, "If it weren't for this, my family wouldn't have attracted such deadly trouble! But, my father's dying wish was for me to safeguard this. I cannot defy his last wish!" Most importantly, she didn't want those villains to succeed!

Courtney glanced at the box, "You're not thinking of giving this to Tina, are you?"

Elsa nodded and pushed the box directly towards Tina, "Miss Reed, I want to give this to you. You are capable, and if it's you, you can surely protect this herb well. If not, just burn it!" Tina reached out and tugged at Jared's sleeve, the man understood and stepped forward to take the box, "So, should I really burn it?"

"Really burn it?"

Tina's expression did not suggest she was lying.

Moreover, her fiancé said the same...

Elsa's once towering presence suddenly seemed diminished.

She looked at Tina with pleading, reluctant eyes, occasionally glancing at the box in Tina's hands. Her face wore a look of sympathy that anyone could clearly see. Especially since Tina's face showed little emotion.

Austin, who prided himself on being a keen judge of character, couldn't tell if she was joking.

He feared Elsa might not get over it and suddenly want her things back, his lips moved slightly.

Elsa wouldn't suddenly become attached again, would she?

Elsa's in-laws also felt a cold sweat on her behalf, their expressions all observed by Tina. The longer it went on, the harder it was for her to suppress a smile. She turned to leave.

"This is useless to me. Since you don't want it, Elsa, it's better to burn it just to be safe."

Just to be safe.

Elsa's eyes flickered.

"Yes, just to be safe! Let's burn it, so if they come again, I won't have to be afraid. It's better gone."

Her eyes filled with regret.

"Miss Reed, I'm so sorry. I knew this would cause trouble, yet I let you carry it. My apologies, please give it back to me, I'll burn it right now." She was determined!

What were a father's last words compared to the safety of her family!

With that, Elsa moved to take back the box. Jared subtly stepped aside, and she nearly fell.

Austin: "Careful!"

Elsa's in-laws: "Elsa!"

Amidst the exclamations, Courtney quickly steadied her.

"Careful!"

"Elsa, are you alright?"

Tina ran to Elsa's side, asking with concern while glaring subtly at Jared.

Jared's face stiffened.

Realizing what had happened, he looked at Tina with a hint of grievance.

His Tina was becoming more unreasonable.

She had intended to tease Elsa, and now she was glaring at him.

The man laughed, his eyes full of indulgence.

But.

Even if she was unreasonable, he liked her very much.

The Dyer family didn't understand their dynamics, but Courtney had some idea.

From her twitching lips trying not to laugh, it was obvious she knew Tina was just joking.

She was worried Elsa would find out too soon, and since Tina's arrival, her eyes had started wandering.

Caught off-guard by Jared's tender gaze toward Tina.

That meltingly tender look, Jason, why was I thinking of him?

He hasn't even woken up yet, who knows what dreams he's had, completely neglecting his duties!

In the end, Elsa wasn't sure if Tina was telling the truth.

But the herb ended up at the YQ Research Institute.

"Serena!"

Hayden, with his disheveled hair, finally reached a safe area and looked up to see Tina and Jared walking with Courtney. "Mr. Farrell!"

He shouted in surprise, but the two inside, busy fighting, heard nothing.

Wraith was tearing at Peter Crispin's clothes.

"Fatso! Will you ever stop, I have a grudge against you, my research outcome was ruined by you!"

"Freak! How is that my fault, you were the careless one!"

Peter Crispin retorted.

A full nelson held Wraith's neck in place.

"You freak, stop tearing my pants!"

Wraith: "Then let me go!"
