Chapter 406: Tina Getting Married?
After the surgery was over, Tina asked the assisting surgeon to step outside and explain the situation, while she stayed behind to suture. The assisting surgeon complied and opened the door of the operating room. The Reed family immediately gathered around.
“How did it go? My grandson is alright, isn’t he?” Logan asked anxiously.
The doctor removed his mask, “Mr. Farrell is no longer in danger. He should wake up once the anesthesia wears off.”
Marie and Sophia, mother and daughter, hugged each other and cried, while Logan and Orson also breathed a sigh of relief. As for the others, their thoughts varied.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Jared was fine, and Nathan’s leg was saved, although he needed rest. Lysander had minor injuries; all the glass shards in his back had been removed. All was well.
After settling Jared, Tina went to Lysander’s ward. Hawk had been guarding the door and quickly stood up when he saw Tina approaching, greeting her with, “Young master.”
Tina waved her hand, “Has Lysander not woken up yet?”
Hawk nodded, “Yes, the doctor said the anesthesia was strong, and he would need to sleep for a while.”
“Hmm, how’s the investigation into the car accident going?”
She had instructed Jayden to investigate, but some information had to be gathered from among the various elite families, which might provide different clues.
Hawk stepped forward and whispered, “Mr. Farrell’s car has been checked. The explosion was caused by a new type of bomb, not by the accident!”
Tina’s eyes narrowed. Just as she thought! A mere car flip couldn’t have caused such a severe explosion. With this clue about the new bomb, the Farrell family couldn’t be ruled out. Only GTO, or perhaps someone in collusion with the Farrell family, could possess such a bomb. Maybe it was Jasper, or someone else, or even someone from the Farrell family.
Hawk continued, “After the new bomb exploded, no traces could be found. It’s identical to the bomb used during the earlier baby rescue, so the police concluded that the accident was merely that-an accident.”
Tina frowned, “Keep investigating. We must find the lab where this new bomb was developed!” Such bombs weren’t even available on the black market. They were GTO’s latest secret weapons. After the last baby rescue, she and Jared had been continuously searching for the bomb’s whereabouts, but to no avail. Now, it had appeared again.
“Yes,” Hawk responded.
At that moment, Sophia ran over. Hawk maintained a safe distance from Tina, pretending they weren’t very familiar.
“Tina, my brother has woken up!”
Tina’s heart tightened, and she hurried back to Jared’s ward with Sophia.
All members of the Farrell family were gathered around the bedside, with Marie crying uncontrollably by the bed. Tina walked in, saw Jared with his eyes open, and her heart slowly settled. She felt a sudden weakness and found herself unable to move forward.
Jared stared at Tina, who stood at the doorway, his head bandaged and his complexion still pale. After a long look, he parted his lips, “Who are you?”
His voice was hoarse and deep, with a uniquely masculine magnetic charm. Yet-everyone was stunned!
Jared didn’t recognize Tina? Had he lost his memory?
Amidst the astonished stares of everyone, Orson was the happiest. Great! His brother had forgotten Tina! They could finally call off the engagement!
Tina slowly approached Jared, a faint smile playing on her lips, and spoke calmly, “I’m Sophia’s nanny. I came to resign-I’m going back home to get married.”
“You dare!” Jared’s expression darkened immediately.
Tina raised an eyebrow, “What a coincidence, I’m quite daring. Want to try me?”
“Tina, stop it,” Jared immediately grasped Tina’s hand and pulled her close, “I was wrong.”
Orson was dumbstruck.
His brother was actually apologizing to Tina!
He actually apologized!
What kind of spell had this woman cast on him!
Tina withdrew her hand, seriously stating, “I’m not joking, I really am going back home to get married!”
Jared was speechless.
Wasn’t he just trying to cheer her up because she seemed a bit upset?
Now, he had almost teased her into becoming someone else’s bride.
That wouldn’t do!
He pulled Tina into his arms, whispering softly, “Then I must go back with you, or who will you marry?”
Seeing this, Logan pulled everyone away.
The couple had just been through a life and death ordeal; it was not the time to disturb them.
Marie glared at her own son; she had been crying for so long without him showing any concern, thinking that he cared more for his wife than his mother!
Orson was the first to leave, unable to stand seeing his brother so “pathetic.”
Then, one by one, the others left.
The hospital room finally returned to quiet, Tina lay on Jared’s chest, holding him tightly.
Jared gently patted Tina’s back, soothing her unsettled emotions time and again.
“It was just a minor car accident, I’m not that helpless.”
As Jared spoke, he couldn’t help feeling relieved, “Luckily, you got out of the car early. You’re my lucky star, Tina.”
Tina lightly slapped Jared, tears lingering in her eyes as she looked at him reproachfully, “Are you teasing a child?”
“Yes, teasing my lucky star,” Jared playfully tweaked Tina’s nose, his eyes still filled with relief.
They held each other for a long time, until Tina spoke again, “Uncle, there’s a bomb in your car.”
“A new type of bomb, right?” Jared’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold.
A bomb that had been placed in his car so silently and had not been detected could only be a new type.
And the person who could place a bomb in his car was no ordinary individual.
Tina sat up, “Do you suspect someone?”
Jared curved his lips, “The Farrell family is highly suspect, but… it’s not them.”
Everyone from the Farrell family was under his surveillance.
Tina laughed, “Since the opponent has made a move, let’s play along.”
Elsewhere, in Lysander’s hospital room.
Lysander had awakened, and Hawk had gone to find a doctor, leaving only Edward and a few others keeping watch.
Unexpectedly, instead of the doctor, Orson came in.
“Orson, what are you doing here?” Leon asked coldly.
“Mind your own business?” Orson sat down on a chair, coldly observing Lysander.
He just wanted to see if the only person he considered a rival was dead or not.
And perhaps, discuss some business.
Lysander sighed, “Captain, you guys go back first, I’m alright.”
He could tell from Orson’s expression that he had something to say.
It was that kind of telepathy between rivals.
Edward and the others left, and Orson finally spoke, “You didn’t experience a car accident, so why are you hospitalized?”
“Mind your own business?” Lysander returned Orson’s words, mimicking his tone exactly.
Orson choked, wanting to explode in anger, but seeing Lysander wrapped in bandages, he held back.
After all, he was the young master of the Farrell family; he wouldn’t take advantage of someone in such a state.
“Let’s talk business, be serious,” Orson cleared his throat.
