Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Lily Ward looked at Emrys with a slight frown. She rarely softened her voice, but she comforted him, “You don’t have to dwell on the past so much. It wasn’t your fault; it was Amber who deceived and used you, wasn’t it?

“Besides, you’ve already paid the price for your lack of judgment. It wasn’t your fault to begin with, and Tina should forgive you if she has any sense.”

“Really?” Emrys stared blankly at Lily Ward. No matter the situation, she always managed to stir his heart.

“Yes.” Lily Ward smiled slightly, her voice carrying a hint of persuasion. “I believe Tina will forgive you. After all, she is the daughter of your benefactor, who was such a good person, right?”

After saying this, she left Emrys’s hospital room with her tablet, leaving him alone to ponder.

Lily Ward had already seen Tina’s temper and knew she wouldn’t easily forgive Emrys. Therefore, she wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Emrys’s mind to create a greater rift between the foster siblings in the future.

Although Emrys was already half-crippled, he still had some abilities. If he treated Tina as he did Amber and followed her every command, Lily Ward would not be pleased.

After leaving Emrys’s room, Lily Ward didn’t return to her office but went to Liliosa’s room.

Willow was also there, sitting by Liliosa’s bedside and peeling an apple while persuading her. “I think you should stop sulking. Hawk has already brought his illegitimate son Lysander home. How can you stand staying in the hospital?”

“That bastard! I can’t believe he actually dared!” Liliosa gritted her teeth in anger.

Hawk’s illegitimate son Lysander was born to his ex-fiancee Wren, whom Liliosa had forcibly separated from him.

Lysander’s birth had its complications. After Wren left Hawk in a fit of anger and went abroad, she discovered she was pregnant. Unable to bring herself to abort the child, she gave birth to a daughter named Cerys.

However, fate seemed never to favor her. When Cerys was seven years old, she was diagnosed with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Wren had no choice but to contact Hawk for a match.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hawk not only tested himself but also secretly arranged for Mack, Yoon Won, and other members of the Emerson family to be tested. Unfortunately, none of their bone marrow matched Cerys’s.

Knowing her actions were unethical, Wren still begged Hawk for another child so that the cord blood might save Cerys.

Thus, Lysander was born.

Unfortunately, although Lysander’s cord blood matched Cerys’s, she died shortly after surgery due to severe rejection.

In the following years, Wren fell into severe depression due to her daughter’s death and committed suicide when Lysander was ten years old.

Hawk brought Lysander back from abroad but kept him outside the family home due to Liliosa’s protests and never officially acknowledged him.

This time, however, because Mack embarrassed the Emerson family with his live-streamed antics, Hawk took the opportunity to introduce Lysander publicly and declared him as one of the heirs.

Liliosa was furious and resorted to feigning illness and staying in the hospital after her usual tactics failed.

She had been in the hospital for three days now. Except for her son Mack visiting her once, no one else from the Emerson family came by-apparently under Hawk’s orders. Naturally, Hawk himself didn’t visit either.

Moreover, Hawk took advantage of Liliosa’s absence from the family home by moving Lysander in and giving him the best room.

Liliosa’s plan had backfired spectacularly. But having committed to it, she couldn’t just return home defeated without losing face.

“It’s all because of that niece you just acknowledged,” Willow said sympathetically as she handed Liliosa a slice of apple. “If it weren’t for her insisting that Mack fulfill his bet, Hawk wouldn’t have had an excuse.”

“It’s all that damn Tina’s fault!” Liliosa seethed with rage at the mention of Tina.

Mack had always been mediocre and never gained favor with Emerson family elders or board members of Emerson Group. Everyone previously thought Hawk only had one son-Mack-and with Reed family’s support behind him; they had no choice but to tolerate him.

As a result, he became arrogant and thought himself exceptionally talented-constantly competing with others over everything. Worse yet, he focused on dubious pursuits like gambling on stones rather than using his intellect properly.

If not for his recent lucky gamble that yielded a gem worth thirty billion dollars-silencing critics within Emerson family-his live-streaming scandal would have been harder to overcome.

However misguided his actions were recorded by many netizens who kept copies circulating privately online-making it difficult for such an individual to lead Emerson family as its next head-giving Hawk an excuse to name Lysander as one of his heirs instead.

And all this trouble stemmed from Tina!

Fortunately for Liliosa though-Lysander proved even more irresponsible than Mack-immersing himself entirely in esports since age fifteen without properly attending college-a small consolation amidst chaos caused by Tina!

“The Reed family plans on hosting a grand banquet for your niece soon,” Willow remarked thoughtfully before adding conspiratorially: “But I heard they specifically excluded you from attending after sending invitations to Emerson family.”

“The old man must be out of his mind!” Liliosa’s expression darkened further: “I’ve been his daughter for over forty years-and now he forbids me from returning home or attending this banquet-all because of some newly acknowledged girl! And I’m supposed to be Tina’s aunt!”

“I think it might not be Mr. Farrell’s decision,” Lily Ward interjected as she entered the room: “It could very well be Tina’s own doing.”

“Given how badly she treated Mack-she probably fears retaliation from you at such an event.”

Lily Ward chuckled softly: “She really does underestimate you-auntie-you’d never stoop so low.”

Liliosa’s eyes flickered momentarily without responding directly.

“Miss Ward.”

A voice called out from outside-the door opened revealing young man with bruises still visible on his face.
