Chapter 126
Chapter 126 As Tina watched Samuel helping Cindy up, she finally realized why thetter pretended to
be weak all of a sudden. “Things aren’t like what you think, Samuel. Please listen to me..? Tina said, but
as always, Samuel found her words empty and meaningless. “Listen to you?” Samuelughed coldly in
response. “Tina, do you seriously take me for a blind man?”
Cindy received two heavy ps from Tina, after all. Her cheeks were already red and swollen. Anyone
whoid their eyes on her would’ve thought that Tina was the one who bullied her on purpose. Tears
started falling from Cindy’s eyes. She said softly, “Samuel, this is really a big misunderstanding…”
“There’s no need to exin.” Samuel felt guilt gnawing at his heart, “Come back with me. I’ll apply
medicine to your cheeks.” “B-But Samuel, I thought you hate having outsiders in your house,” Cindy
protested weakly, all the while pretending to be considerate about him.
Samuel nced at Tina coldly. You’re not the outsider. That woman is.”
As soon as his words fell, he scooped Cindy into his arms and carried her bridal style. Thetter quickly
wrapped her arms around his neck shyly before shooting Tina a wicked smirk. Mockery was written all
over her face.
See, Tina? Samuel would never believe you! You’re a joke!’ she thought joyfully. “Wait a second…” Cindy
suddenly noticed something on the ground. “Samuel, I’ve dropped my ne!”
It was until then that Tina noticed a blue crystal shell ne sitting on the spot where Cindy had fallen
earlier. Stunned by its appearance, she instinctively picked it up.
Why did the ne seem so familiar to her?
But before Tina could study it properly, Samuel snatched it viciously out of her hand. The duo
disappeared in the distance right after. A short whileter, the taxi that Tina had been waiting for finally
appeared.
The driver was an honest-looking man. He apologized sincerely to Tina, “I’m so sorry for beingte, Miss.
Traffic was all clogged up, so I got dyed. Why do you look so pale? Do you need me to send you to
the hospital?”
Tina finally noticed her frightening appearance. She looked like a ghost who had just crawled out of a
pool.
She could only shake her head while clutching her stomach. “I think my period’sing…”
Tina’s health had always been poor. It was the norm for her to not have her period for two or three
months, but once it was time, her body would be racked with pain. The day’s events had infuriated her
greatly, so her period probably decided that it was the best time to make her day even worse.
At her reply, the taxi driver didn’t ask her any more questions.
Tina returned to her apartment like a lost soul. All strength was already sapped from her body, so she
copsed onto her bed and fell into a deep slumber.

It was barely dawn when Tina was awakened by a phone call.
John’s voice drifted through the speaker. “Hi, Tina. You must be at work around this time, right? I’ll go to
the art studio and visit you there.”
His words woke her up instantly. If John were to visit the art studio, he would have found out about her
dismissal.
As she didn’t want to worry him, she quickly replied, “I got sick, so I’ve lodged a sick leave.” It was by
pure coincidence thatst night’s events made her voice incredibly hoarse, so she sounded very sick on
the phone. John sounded quite concerned. “You’re sick? What are you down with?”
“Um…”
Tina caressed her stomach instinctively. She thought the reason behind her sudden stomachachest
night was because of her period, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Maybe my period’sing,” she replied.
The moment John heard Tina’s reason, he knew that it was an inconvenient topic for her to talk about.
“I’ll drop by your ce soon.”
Some timeter, he appeared in front of her door. John didn’t beat around the bush and told her in a
straightforward manner, “I’ve been collecting intel on your background. Unfortunately, the criminals
involved in your abduction case are all dead. The orphanage didn’t have a picture of you as well. Do you
have any clues about your childhood?”
