Chapter 30
Once Grandma Langford met Tina, she would be able to tell that Tina was a schemer and would defintely tell Samuel to chase her away.
Meanwhile, Samuel sighed helplessly. “Alright. I’ll bring her here tomorrow to meet you. Just rest properly for the night.”
He only left the ward after having finally reassured Grandma Langford.
Cindy followed him, asking softly, “I’m sorry, Sam… Did I speak too much and cause trouble
for you?”
Samuel was certainly troubled that he had to bring Tina here to meet his grandmother tomorrow, but he had no intention of taking his anger out on Cindy.
He would suspect them of holding ulterior motives if this had happened with anyone else, but he would never suspect Cindy-he would be dead if she didn’t carry his injured body over her dainty back all those years ago.
“It’s not your fault. You were just telling the truth,” Samuel said.
“I know you’re the best, Sam,” Cindy said emotionally.
However, when she reached out to link arms with him, Samuel eluded her.
“Are you still worried about what happened the other day, Sam?” Cindy bit her lip miserably.” I really didn’t know that there was something wrong with the chicken soup! I…”
“I know it’s not your fault,” Samuel replied flatly. “I’ve always thought of you as my younger sister, and you should know that—which is why you should be wary from now on too.”
With those words, he had Sandy escort her away while he stayed at the hospital with his grandmother.
Cindy looked absolutely reluctant to part with him.
One way or another, she would have him. Tina, her only obstacle, would soon be eliminated, and her victory was assured.

Tina was sleeping soundly when her phone started to ring repeatedly, waking her even before daybreak and leaving her utterly annoyed.
She did not even look as she answered impatiently, “Who is this?!”
“It’s me.”
Two cool words from Samuel immediately made Tina sit up in bed.
“Oh, Mr Langford? Why did you call me personally?” Tina asked.
Her fawning voice only left Samuel with a headache. “Come to the hospital.”
“Eh? The hospital?” Tina asked anxiously. “Did something happen to you?”
Samuel’s tone turned even cooler. “Heh. Were you hoping for that, Tina?”
“No, of course not!” Tina denied it vehemently.
Reluctant to speak further, Samuel simply told her the address and room number before hanging up
Not daring to drag her feet, Tina cleaned up and rushed to the hospital without even cooking breakfast.

In Grandma Langford’s ward, Grandma Langford learned plenty about Tina after asking Mama Langford about it, and she told Samuel from the heart, “Samuel, it doesn’t matter how beautiful she is-you have to break up with her. Nothing good would come out of being with a schemer like her.”.
“If it were up to me, that young woman I met before fits you best. She’s kind and innocent, and good at cooking-she’s a match made in heaven with you…”
Knock, knock
Someone knocked on the door just then, and Sandy announced outside the ward, “Mr. Langford, Miss Lynd has arrived.”
“Come in.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Tina opened the door, still a little nervous..
Why on earth did Samuel call her here?!
