Chapter 379
Kicked out of two hospitals twice in a row, Tina couldn’t help but feel forlorn.
Did she not deserve any hope in her life?
Was she destined to be confined next to Samuel? Did she deserve to be tortured and imprisoned by that man, all the while hoping that he would let her go one day in the future?
A crestfallen Tina walked on the street. However, a row of black cars suddenly pursued her from behind. The cars came to a halt in front of her, blocking her way. Stunned by the sudden appearance of the cars, Tina lifted her head to see what was going on. The sight of the bodyguards clactin black suits getting out of the cars made her expression change drastically. Tina had no idea whose tail did she step on this time, but running was always the safest option.
Just as she was about to turn tail and flee, the leading bodyguard suddenly called out after her.
“Are you Miss Lynd? Mr. Carter would like to see you!”
The moment Tina heard the bodyguard’s words, she stopped in her tracks immediately.
Slightly confused by the request, she asked, “What did you say?”
The bodyguard had no intention to explain anything to her. Instead, he pointed at the backseat of his car.
“Miss Lynd, let’s continue this conversation once we’ve reached our destination.” “I don’t know what your true intention is! You could’ve been here to make trouble for me!” Tina took two steps backward, already on her guard.
“Miss Lynd, if we really intend to capture you, remember that you only have two legs. You can’t outrun cars with four wheels, not to mention there’s so many of us.”
The bodyguard’s words made sense.
There was no way Tina could outrun everyone and their cars.
Besides, what if John did send those bodyguards after her when he found out that she had been trying to visit him?
After all, not many people knew her actual surname.
Tina didn’t waste her time dilly-dallying any longer. With a heavy heart, she got into one of the cars.
A while later, the cars arrived at a hotel.
“Go to this location.” The bodyguard gave Tina a light push before telling her a room number.
Tina asked anxiously, “Why are we meeting in a hotel?” “It’s so that Mr. Carter can recuperate nicely, of course!”
Tina thought the reason over. She did witness John getting into that accident after all, so it was reasonable for him to recuperate.
If those people intended to harm her, there was no need for them to go this far just for that.
After all, Tina didn’t have a noble identity. She was just a commoner and an orphan, to boot. It wasn’t as if there was a bloodline of nobility or royalty flowing through her veins.
That thought reassured her slightly. Tina took the elevator up to the required floor and tracked down the room with the room number that was given to her by the bodyguard. Just as the room door was opened… She found herself staring at a foreign yet familiar face. However, the person standing there wasn’t John. Instead, it was a noble-looking woman. Tina was stunned. “Um… You are…?”
Meanwhile, Mrs. Carter kept staring at Tina’s face.
The more she stared at her, the more she felt that Tina resembled that d*mned woman back in the days.
Thanks to that woman’s presence, she was forced to become Lord Carter’s secret lover for so many years. It wasn’t until that woman’s death that she was able to rise as the official mistress of the Carter family and enjoy the lavish riches that only the lady of the family could enjoy.
Now, John Carter’s status in the family was on the rise. Mrs. Carter absolutely refused to let Tina’s existence threaten her own status in the family.
Despite the vile thoughts that plagued Mrs. Carter’s heart, she had a kind smile plastered across her face. With the elegant temperament that a noble woman was born with, she said gently, “You must have forgotten me, but we’ve met in the past. I’m John’s mother.”
Mrs. Carter’s words made Tina remember many things that happened in the past.
“So you’re Mrs. Carter…”
Tina looked rather confused. “Wait, so you were the one who wanted to see me instead of Mr. Carter?”
