Chapter 62


    “Cough! Cough! Cough!” Tina had already regained her consciousness by then. She was in the midst of


    coughing heavily. Still dazed, she asked hoarsely, “Did I get rescued?” “Thank god you‘re alright!” John


    didn‘t hesitate to scoop Tina into a tight hug, delighted. He was clearly frustrated at himself as he


    dered in determination, “I won‘t let anything happen to you ever again!”


    He felt as if his heart was grasped by an invisible fist tightly throughout the rescue earlier.


    Back then, Coco disappeared because of his negligence. Because of that, they were separated forever.


    John spent thest ten years tracking her down, but to no avail.


    Fate had brought John and Tina together as siblings, but she almost lost her life because of his


    negligence once more.


    However, the duo didn‘t realize a white sh appearing from a dark corner of the hotel grounds. A


    camera had captured the scene of them hugging each other tightly. Thanks to the pool incident, Tina‘s


    gown waspletely ruined. There was no way she could attend the banquet now. “I‘ll take you to the


    hospital for a check–up,” John said. Then, he tried to scoop Tina into his


    arms.


    Meanwhile…


    “Mr. Langford!”


    “Mr. Langford, you‘re here!”


    “Good evening, Mr. Langford, Miss Young!” The couple that had just appeared on the red carpet outside


    the hotel immediately attracted everyone‘s attention. They crowded around the couple and greeted them


    heartily, doing their utmost best to please the two. Cindy had an arm hooked around Samuel‘s. d in a


    luxurious gown, she acted as if she was Mrs. Langford while greeting the crowd.


    Just then, Samuel noticed John‘s silhouette dashing into the distance. Not only that, but there was also a


    shivering woman cradled in his arms.


    Samuel frowned immediately. What on earth was going on?


    “Samuel, why aren‘t we walking anymore? The banquet is about to begin.” Cindy‘s voice was extremely


    soft anddy–like. She reminded him gently, “Everyone’s waiting for us inside the hotel.”


    The moment Samuel heard her reminder, he pushed all thoughts out of his mind. He was the banquet‘s


    host, so he shouldn‘t be sidetracked by other things.


    Then again, John was still his coboration partner. It was better for Samuel to keep an eye on things


    concerning John. He instructed Sandy, “Go and investigate what happened.”


    “Understood, Mr. Langford,” Sandy replied before hurrying away to carry out his task


    The moment Samuel and Cindy stepped into the lobby, everyone started showering them with praises of


    how they were a match made in heaven.


    When Pearl witnessed that scene, jealousy and envy took over her senses. She muttered hatefully under


    her breath, “A match made in heaven? I don’t think so! Cindy stayed by Mr. Langford‘s side for over a


    decade, yet she‘s still not his wife. He probably doesn‘t like her at all.”


    Thus, Pearl assumed she still had a chance in capturing Samuel‘s heart. What if she were to be


    Mrs. Langford tonight?


    While she was still immersed in her little fantasy, someone in a waiter‘s outfit approached her from


    behind. He asked politely, “Excuse me. Are you Miss Lynd?” “That‘s me,” Pearl replied. “Why do you


    ask?” “Now that I‘ve found you, Miss Lynd, please follow me,” the waiter replied. “Why should I follow


    you? Who do you think you are?” Pearl demanded haughtily.


    “Mr. Langford was the one who summoned you. Pleasee with me. You‘ll know the reason once you


    meet him.”


    “What?! Mr. Langford?!” Pearl looked ted. “Is that true? Is Mr. Langford attracted to me? Is that why


    he wants to meet me?”


    Could her unique temperament have attracted Samuel‘s attention?


    The waiter sounded quite mysterious. “Please follow me backstage.” “Okay!” Pearl left with the waiter


    giddily, all smiles.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
