Chapter 380
Mrs. Carter led Tina through the door. She attempted to gauge Tina’s reaction by asking, “Miss Lynd. If I remember correctly, you’ve gone missing for five years. Why do you intend to visit John after so long?” Had Tina perhaps discovered her own heritage? Mrs. Carter’s question made Tina nervous.
“I…” Tina lowered her head in response.
There was no way she could tell Mrs. Carter that she wanted to try her luck by requesting John to save Kara.
“I happened to be at the scene when he got into that accident some time ago. It was then I realized that Mr. Carter was also in Paris, so I decided to go visit him at the hospital. However, * I don’t think he refers to himself by that name here, so I got chased out of the hospital because they mistook me as someone who tried to cause trouble…”
Mrs. Carter’s eyes lit up. She then asked, “Are you saying that John never told you his actual identity in France?”
“Yes. I have no idea what his identity is here.” Tina shook her head. Mrs. Carter visibly relaxed when she heard Tina’s answer. It seemed like this filthy b*tch had no idea that she was in truth John’s biological sister. She was also oblivious to her identity as the duke’s granddaughter. “Is that so…”
Tina asked, “Mrs. Carter, may I visit Mr. Carter?” “I’m afraid that won’t be possible. John has yet to recover from his illness, so he needs to recuperate for a very long time. Besides, that accident was potentially the product of an assassination plot. What if his location is exposed to those who want to do him harm if you were to meet up with him?” Mrs. Carter lied through her teeth as easily as breathing air. “Is that so?” Tina felt bitter on the inside. “Looks like I shouldn’t disturb him.” There really was no hope for her at all.
Even if she were to meet up with John, he had no obligation to help her out.
The reason they were able to meet in the first place was thanks to fate. However, she had gone missing for so many years, only to return just to get him to help her out. Even if they were actual siblings, she doubted he would help her at all.
“A word of advice for you, Tina. Don’t come running to the hospital every now and then. It’d be bad if you got involved in this mess.”
Mrs. Carter sounded like she cared about Tina’s wellbeing.
Tina was touched.
She had worked as a fashion designer over the past five years in Paris. Thus, she had met countless elite socialites in her line of work.
When Mrs. Carter appeared just now, Tina was quick to note the luxurious clothes and accessories the older woman was wearing at first glance. That meant the older woman’s status was definitely high.
As Tina was used to witnessing the arrogant sides of those socialites who thought they were better than commoners, she was naturally thankful that Mrs. Carter cared about her.
“Thank you, Mrs. Carter. You have a kind heart.”
“Haha! Really?” Mrs. Carter just smiled in response. Tina rose to her feet, a look of disappointment on her face. “Well then, I should be taking my leave now.” “I’ll walk you to the door.” While Mrs. Carter spoke, she rose to her feet with a glass of water. Suddenly, she stumbled over her feet, thus spilling the water.
“Oh!”
Mrs. Carter accidentally spilled the water on Tina’s shirt. The latter’s back ended up completely drenched. “Oh no! It’s my fault for being careless! It’s a good thing I only drink cool water here! It’d be bad if I were to scald you with hot water!”
Mrs. Carter sounded very concerned as she grabbed a fresh shirt from the closet and continued, “You should change into this shirt before you leave the hotel.” “It’s fine. It’s just water, after all…” Tina instinctively tried to turn Mrs. Carter down.
“Why are you being so courteous with me? You can just turn your back on me and change your clothes.” Mrs. Carter stuffed the new shirt into Tina’s arms.
She had already prepared the shirt in advance.
Even though Tina looked exactly like that woman from the oast, Mrs. Carter still wanted to ensure her identity and ascertain if Tina truly was the lost little girl.
