Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

After Tina left, chaos enveloped the Lyon family. Grandma Lyon fainted outright, leaving Megan and Leah, the mother-daughter pairs, terrified and clueless about what to do next. The servants reacted first, calling the doctor and gathering clothes for everyone. When Warren and Oliver returned and witnessed the scene, they were furious. No one had anticipated that Tina, a girl from the countryside, would be so ruthless as to set wolves on them, not to mention sever their mother’s hand. How had she managed to acquire the wolves? And how could she control them? Their mother was right-Tina resorted to dark and twisted methods!

By the time Warren and the others had dressed, the doctor had finished examining Grandma Lyon. They rushed to meet him. “Doctor Johnson, how is my mother?” Warren asked. Doctor Johnson, their family physician, was called in quietly due to the nature of the incident. “The old lady was treated in time; there’s no danger to her life. She just needs plenty of rest,” Doctor Johnson replied.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“And her hand… can it be treated?” Warren asked again. Doctor Johnson paused thoughtfully before responding, “I’m afraid I can’t be of much help with that. In fact, no major hospital in the country can mend bones in such a situation. However…” He paused again, “I’ve heard that Spectre possesses the skill to mend bones. There was a person paralyzed for ten years who managed to stand up after a few of his treatments. But Spectre is elusive, making it extremely difficult to even meet him.”

Upon hearing this, Oliver said, “I’ve also heard of Spectre’s reputation. It’s said he’s over a hundred years old and extremely skilled in medicine. He can mend bones and is even rumored to bring the dead back to life. If we could get him to help, not only would it save Mom, it would also benefit our Lyon family.”

Doctor Johnson shook his head, “Spectre is very peculiar; he doesn’t treat just any patient.” Megan scoffed, “What you say makes it sound like he’s too peculiar to care about money. If we offer a high enough price, wouldn’t he be tempted?” Grandma Lyon didn’t care if her hand could be reattached; after all, she was old and didn’t have many years left. However, the Lyon family still depended on her. Many projects were under her control, and without her, the Lyon family’s status in Clearwater would significantly decline-a scenario she did not want to see. If people outside learned that her own granddaughter-in-law had severed her hand, not only Tina but also the Lyon family would be negatively impacted.

Doctor Johnson glanced at Megan as if looking at a fool, “Spectre’s medical skills are so renowned that even when royal families and numerous wealthy families from our city offered billions to treat their ailments, he declined unless he felt inclined. Do you think he lacks money?” Spectre was his idol. How could he allow others to look down on him? Megan was taken aback, feeling somewhat annoyed, “He’s just a doctor, after all. A billion dollars, as if he’s a god? If he doesn’t want to come, then let him not. The Lyon family doesn’t absolutely need him!”

Doctor Johnson’s expression darkened, “The old lady is out of danger now, so I will take my leave. By the way, starting tomorrow, I will resign from my position as your family doctor. You’ll need to find someone else.” Warren’s expression changed, “Doctor Johnson, why resign all of a sudden? My mom still needs your care. You’ve been with us for so long, and we’ve never mistreated you. It’s not right to just leave like this.”

Dr. Johnson paused, then said, “Mr. Lyon, I recommended Spectre to you as a favor. I didn’t expect your wife to disrespect him like that. Since you look down on us doctors, I no longer wish to stay in your employ.”

With that, Dr. Johnson made to leave.

“Go then! Are we unable to find another doctor?” Megan, still shaken from earlier events, was furious to hear a doctor speak to her this way. “Get out! You’re not resigning; you’re fired! And I’ll make sure you can’t work in this field as long as the Lyon family has any say in it!”

“Shut up!” Warren shouted.

“Did I say something wrong? What is he to talk to me like that? If it’s about medical care, then provide it without the chatter. What use do we have for someone like that in our home?” Megan retorted.

Dr. Johnson scoffed coldly and left without another word.

Warren was so angry he wanted to strike Megan, but Oliver intervened. “Warren, this is not the time to be angry with Megan. We need to figure out what to do.”

Leah, who had been silent, spoke up. “What else can we do but call the police? Tina has caused us so much harm; it would be letting her off too easy if we didn’t.”

“Bullshit!” Oliver cursed. “If calling the police was an option, do you think we would have waited until now?”

Tina was too cunning. From the moment she appeared as the head of the family to the day she chopped off the old lady’s hand, she acted without fear of the Lyon family involving the police.

The Lyons had maintained their standing in Clearwater through not entirely clean means. They still hadn’t figured out Tina’s full story. Reporting to the police could lead to Tina revealing something that could destroy the Lyon family-an unacceptable risk.

Leah realized this too, feeling frustrated. “That wretched girl has caused us so much pain, and we can’t even touch her.”

“I have ways to deal with her; the real issue now is what to do about mom’s hand,” Warren said gravely.

They had kept the incident under wraps; the outside world was still unaware of the crisis within the Lyon family. If word got out that the matriarch’s hand was lost, it would invite unwanted scrutiny.

“What can we do now? It’s already chopped off,” Leah said irritably. “Are we really going to spend a fortune trying to fix it?”

“Bang!”

As Leah finished speaking, Grandma Lyon, using her unharmed hand, grabbed a cup from beside her bed and hurled it at Leah, shouting, “You fool! I’m not dead yet, and you’re already suggesting I give up on treatment? Would you smother me if I were gravely ill?”

Leah’s face changed, and she quickly replied, “Mom, that’s not what I meant. Dr. Johnson said that only Spectre could reattach your hand, and his whereabouts are uncertain. We might not be able to find him!”

“We’ll find him even if it seems impossible!” Grandma Lyon commanded coldly. “Spectre is known for his skill in bone-setting. I’ve heard of an organization called Flame Ice that takes on tough tasks. Place an order with them to ensure they find Spectre.”

With the matriarch’s directive, her sons naturally agreed, “Yes, mom, we’ll find Spectre.”

Only Megan and Leah looked uneasy, their thoughts unknown.

“As for Tina!” A sharp gleam crossed Grandma Lyon’s eyes. “Once my hand is healed, I will not let her off!”
