Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 24: Mr. Farrell, You Have a Notorious Reputation



Jared glanced sideways, looking at the little girl beside Mrs. Brown. His fingers, resting on the edge of the wheelchair, suddenly tightened. He couldn’t help but stand up from the wheelchair, his narrow, phoenix-like eyes staring tightly at her, his throat seemed to be choked, and it took him a long time to tremble out, “So… Sophia?”

He, who always remained unmoved, was now struggling to even complete his sentences.

Sophia walked up to Jared and smiled sweetly at him, “Jared, it’s me, I’m Sophia.”

Hayden and Nathan’s eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at Sophia. The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

It took quite some time before Hayden recovered, and he quickly examined Sophia, speaking excitedly without words, “You, you’re really Sophia? You’re not deceiving us, are you?”

Sophia looked at his shocked expression and giggled, “Hayden, it’s really me, I didn’t deceive you! My illness is cured, and I’ve become prettier, aren’t you happy for me?”

Hayden didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Happy! Of course, he was happy for Sophia. How much effort had they put into curing Sophia’s illness over the years? Jared had even blamed himself every day. But now, Sophia’s illness had mysteriously healed. How could they not be happy? How could they not be excited? He was so excited that he couldn’t even speak.

Jared squatted down, holding Sophia in his arms, gently stroking her head, his lips parted slightly, but he couldn’t say a word.

After a long while, Jared sat back in his wheelchair, his narrow eyes lifting slightly to look at Mrs. Brown, “What happened?”

Mrs. Brown knew that it was time to stop hiding the truth from Jared, so she said, “It was Miss Reed who cured the miss.”

“Miss Reed?” Hayden asked with confusion, “Amber Reed?”

Mrs. Brown wasn’t sure of Tina’s real name, but hearing Hayden say it, she could only explain, “At the mall entrance that time, after Miss Reed saved the miss, she visited once and said she could cure the miss’s illness but we had to keep it a secret, and not even tell the miss’s family members.”

Mrs. Brown bowed her head, speaking softly, “Sophia Miss trusted Miss Reed a lot, and begged me to keep the secret with her. I… I also wanted Sophia Miss’s illness to be cured, so I helped Miss Reed to conceal it from Young Master Jared. Every morning, after you left the hospital, Sophia Miss would message Miss Reed, and she would come to treat her.”

Having finished, Mrs. Brown hurriedly said, “Young Master Jared, this is my fault, I shouldn’t have concealed it from you, but please don’t send me away, I’ve cared for Sophia Miss these years as if she were my own child, I…”

Mrs. Brown broke into tears, afraid that Jared would be angry and send her away. Others might not understand Jared, but she did. In the Farrell family, Jared was someone whose word was law. Outsiders thought he was disabled, a waste. But he wasn’t. Nobody knew that it was actually Jared who was supporting the wealthiest family position in the capital. Except for the old master and her, no one knew.

Jared’s brooding eyes stared tightly at her face, and after a while, he spoke slowly, “Mrs. Brown, you were personally selected by me, you should know what should and should not be done!”

This time they were lucky because the person was here to cure Sophia. If it had been someone with malicious intentions, he didn’t dare to imagine.

Mrs. Brown trembled and quickly apologized, “I, I was wrong.”

Seeing this, Sophia grabbed Jared’s hand, her voice soft and sweet, “Jared, don’t blame Mrs. Brown, I was the one who begged her in tears. I was ridiculed for being ugly, and despised, it was hard for me. Mrs. Brown didn’t want me to be sad, so she agreed to keep Miss Reed’s secret.”

Sophia pursed her lips, earnestly saying, “And Miss Reed is not a bad person, she’s very nice, especially kind and gentle, she wouldn’t harm me, Jared, can you forgive Mrs. Brown?”

Looking at Sophia’s delicate and pretty little face, Jared pursed his lips and finally sighed, “Let it go, this time. Don’t let it happen again.”

Mrs. Brown breathed a sigh of relief, “There won’t be a next time.”

Jared withdrew his gaze, then gave a low command, “Nathan, call Ben over to check Sophia!”

Sophia’s well-being was at stake. Even though she had regained her looks, he must ensure she was completelysafe.

Soon, Ben arrived.

He conducted a full body examination on Sophia, and the more he checked, the more astonished he became.

It wasn’t until the examination was over that Ben exclaimed excitedly, “The toxins have been completely cleared, and the organs that were failing have recovered. Mr. Farrell, when did you find this doctor? How come I didn’t know?”

Before Jared could respond, Ben’s eyes shone, “Introduce me to them, this is incredible. In just a few days, to be able to clear such severe toxins.”

Hearing that the poison was completely cured, Hayden’s mouth hung open, unable to close for a long while.

As Ben examined her, he thought, although Sophia’s appearance had been restored, it didn’t necessarily mean the toxin was cured. If it had been easy to cure, then Ben wouldn’t have been without a solution for years.

But to think, Sophia’s poison was truly cured. This-was astonishing.

“Amber’s medical skills are too impressive, aren’t they?” Hayden couldn’t help but exclaim, “Although I hate to admit it, she seems to be even more capable than my Serena.”

Jared leaned back in his wheelchair, his long fingers tapping on the edge, his deep eyes slightly narrowed, silent.

After pondering for a moment, Hayden continued, “But what does this Amber mean? She can cure Sophia, why do it so stealthily? Everyone knows that Sophia is your grandfather’s most beloved granddaughter. If she cured her, she would definitely receive a handsome reward, yet she said nothing.”

Hayden suddenly had a thought, “Could it be because she doesn’t want to be engaged to you, that’s why she did this?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his guess was accurate, “That’s right, it must be so. Amber doesn’t want to marry you, afraid that after curing Sophia, you would be even more reluctant to let her go, but as Dr. Ward’s apprentice, she couldn’t bear to see a patient suffer, so she treated her in secret.”

“Tsck!” Hayden clicked his tongue, “Mr. Farrell, you have a notorious reputation, look how you scared this young lady, she would rather forgo a hefty reward than marry you.”

Jared’s eyes lifted, giving him an icy look.

Hayden immediately zipped his mouth shut.

That’s it, he’s done for! Mr. Farrell is angry!

Jared looked away, then instructed, “Prepare a gift, we’re going to visit the Reed family.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia immediately stepped forward, “Jared, are you going to thank Miss Reed? Can I come with you? I want to thank Miss Reed in person, I didn’t get the chance just now.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Jared was silent for a moment, then said, “You rest first, I’ll take you to see Miss Reed in a few days.”

Sophia was a bit disappointed, but she obediently nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to Jared.”
