Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 215: Amber Reed's Final Act The hospital room was dark, illuminated only by the faint glow of medical equipment. Amber Reed closed the door silently and walked to Elizabeth's bedside. She looked down at Elizabeth's aged face and placed her hand on the oxygen tube, a cruel smile forming on her lips.

"Grandma, you can't blme. After all, you forced my hand. I didn't want to push you, but you threatened me," she said softly, maintaining her smile as she reached to remove the oxygen tube from Elizabeth's nose. "But your death will let Tina take the fall for me, so at least you're doing one last good deed." Just as she was about to act, Elizabeth's eyes suddenly opened wide, staring directly at her. Startled, Amber's hand shook, and she stumbled back a couple of steps. Elizabeth could only open her eyes; she couldn't speak or move. Amber steeled herself, suppressing her fear, and without hesitation, reached out again to remove the oxygen tube from Elizabeth's nose.

Snap! At that moment, a pair of silver handcuffs clicked onto her wrist. The room lights suddenly blazed on, and Amber saw police officers blocking the doorway. In a corner of the room she had overlooked earlier sat someone in a chair, watching her with a half-smile.

"Tina!" "Bravo!" Tina clapped appreciatively from her chair, legs crossed. "Thank you for givingsuch a splendid performance!" "How did you know?!" Amber's face turned pale.

"You thought using an anonymous phone would keep you safe?" Tina laughed brightly, mocking Amber's naivety. "Even if you destroyed the phone and SIM card, tracking the previous signal locations led us straight to Reed Residence." For Tina, it was just a matter of writing scode.

"Who else in Reed Residence would need to contact Elizabeth secretly but you?" Amber realized too late that tonight had been a trap all along. The police had deliberately leaked news about Elizabeth waking up to lure the culprit into action. She tried to flee but found all exits blocked.

"Frme?" Tina sneered at Amber's predicament. "Do you think you're worthy?" "Tina! I'll kill you! Why do you always oppose me?!" Amber screamed as she lunged at Tina but was restrained by Andrew Heisler with the handcuffs.

She forgot that if she hadn't used Elizabeth's finger to write that bloody "Tina," Tina wouldn't have been dragged into this case so quickly. Harm others and harm yourself! "Oh right," Tina clapped her hands suddenly and took out her phone to make a call. "I should inform Reed family of this joyous news." "Tina! Don't you dare!" Amber screamed in desperation. She had planned everything; as a pregnant woman, even if arrested, she could be released on bail pending trial.

As long as this didn't make the news, Reed family and Farrell family wouldn't find out. Her wedding with Nathaniel Farrell could still proceed! She hadn't expected Tina to report to Reed family! "Mr. Reed," Tina spoke into the phone, "Your daughter just attempted murder." "Who is this?" Jasper Reed asked warily.

"I'm looking forward to your reaction," Tina replied coldly.

Would he protect this fake daughter or uphold justice? "You must be Tina. Wait, I have..." Jasper guessed Tina's identity and wanted to speak further.

But Tina mercilessly hung up the call and watched coldly as Amber was taken away by the police despite her screams and struggles.

The room fell silent again as Tina stood up from her chair in the corner, hands in pockets, walking over to Elizabeth's bedside and bending down to look into her fearful eyes.

"You thought I would cure you?" Tina smiled slightly. "Rest assured, I just wanted you to see and hear what kind of monster you've raised all these years." She straightened up, her gaze icy and unfeeling. "You will lie here unable to speak or move until your life ends. This is my punishment for you." Elizabeth wept in terror as she watched Tina leave the room without a backward glance at the frail old woman on the bed.

Just as Amber had feared, despite her heinous crime, she was released on bail with Reed family's help due to her pregnancy-the child she once considered an abomination had saved her life.

Now she couldn't easily get rid of this child; it was her only hope for leniency if prosecuted. By then, she'd be too far along in pregnancy to terminate it safely.

On the way hfrom the police station with Damian driving, Amber sat pale-faced in the back seat, contemplating how to discuss keeping the child with Nathaniel Farrell.

The best approach would be convincing Elizabeth to clear her nby claiming it was all a joke and not pushing Elizabeth or trying to kill her in the hospital room.

Little did she know that Elizabeth would never speak again nor lie for any deal.

"Brother," Amber asked worriedly, "Farrell family doesn't know about this yet?" "No," Damian replied coldly.

He finally understood why Annabelle and Jasper doubted Amber was Jasper's daughter-her actions were too vile for family. W someone from their family: unwed pregnancy, attempting murder of her grandmother who raised her, framing her foster sister-how could such an evil girl be his uncle's child?

Amber sighed in relief; Farrell family not knowing was good-they wouldn't accept an attempted murderer as their daughter-in-law. She knew hiding it forever wasn't possible since Tina was Jared Farrell's fiancée; Farrell family would find out eventually.

As long as they didn't prosecute before then...

No matter what happened next-she had to marry into Farrell family! But while Amber hoped for secrecy-Tina wouldn't let things go smoothly for her.

Just when Amber relaxed slightly-the car raannounced breaking news: "Yesterday's Jade's Park murder suspect attempted another crby sneaking into a hospital room intending murder-the suspect has been arrested-shockingly revealed as victim's adopted granddaughter..." "Brother!" Amber's face turned ugly hearing this news-"Didn't you promiseit wouldn't make headlines?" "Did I?" Damian remained indifferent-"Do you really think our Reed family can control everything in Ensford?" Damian coldly questioned-"Amber-why did you fryour foster sister?"
