Chapter 208
June continued, “Sir, what you’re doing is unfair to her! She’s a grown up. She’s no longer the innocent little girl from two years ago. You need to let her go and choose her path.”
“You think so?” James chuckled. “Everything I do is for her sake.
“But…”
June wanted to say more but was interrupted, “No more talking, mind your business.” After that, James turned around and left. Meanwhile, June had a stomach full of words. But in the end, she could only swallow them unwillingly.
Tiffany was hospitalized for three days. During that time, she had not taken any medicine. Other than the injection that kept her hydrated, she had not taken a single pill.
June frowned and advised repeatedly, “Miss, you won’t recover quickly if you don’t take your medicine.”
“No, thanks.” It was precisely for that reason that Tifanny refused to take her medicine. If she recovered too quickly, she wouldn’t be able to remember the pain.
Tiffany laughed with a pale face. Lying on the big hospital bed, she looked like a lifeless doll. Seeing her state, June had no choice but to retreat.
In the afternoon, Zoe came to the hospital. She cried when she saw Tiffany. What happened that day had traumatized her. “Tiffany, I was scared to death!”
“It’s okay.” Tiffany patted her back and comforted her.
When Tiffany woke, she learned that Zoe had fainted from the shock. Fortunately, she was fine. Otherwise, Tiffany would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
“You got dragged because of me, I’m the one to blame,” Tiffany said guiltily.
“But Tiffany, what kind of quarrel did you get yourself into? Why is someone trying to kill you? Have you found out who’s behind this?”
“No idea.” Tiffany shook her head. She had no time to investigate. When she woke up, Richard had taken her killers Tiffany did not know where he took them to. Since this was the case, there was no way she could ask. away.
When Zoe heard Tiffany’s answer, she seemed to remember something. “Unfortunately, I fainted that day and didn’t know anything. But I heard from Ged that Mr. Hampton saved all of us that day. Is that right?”
“Yeah.”
Tiffany nodded and asked, “By the way, is Ged alright?” She remembered Ged got kicked several feets away when he tried to attack the shooter. Thinking of this, she hoped he didn’t suffer a serious injury.
Zoe waved her hand. “He’s fine. His skin is thick and he can take a beating.”
“That’s good to hear.” Tiffany was relieved.
After staying for more than two hours, Zoe left the hospital. Unknowingly, the sky had already turned dark.
The impact of Tiffany’s assassination attempt was massive. The school sealed the sudents’ mouths. No one was allowed to spread the news. Meanwhile, Tiffany’s injury was kept away from her family. They thought Tiffany did not go home because she was staying at her friend’s house.
After chasing away June, who insisted on accompanying her, Tiffany lay alone in the ward, bored. She could not help but recall when she was at the fire. To save Selena’s brother, she had injured her leg. After that, Richard accompanied her for several nights. But that night, he didn’t go to the hospital. Thinking of this, she felt terrible. Tiffany turned over and fell asleep in a daze. Her even breathing echoed in the ward.
Unbeknownst to her, a tall figure jumped in from the window after she fell asleep. He was familiar with the layout. It was obvious he had accompanied her for more than one night. However, Tiffany was unaware of his presence.
Richard stood in place quietly for a long time. Seeing Tiffany asleep, he wanted to reach out and touch her pale face a few times. However, thinking of what James said, he slowly retracted his hand.
James stood at Richard’s entrance and said he wanted to také Tiffany away, but Richard was unwilling. However, he had to admit that James’ words were true. Whoever Tiffany would end up with, that person would never be him. Therefore, there was no need to make things difficult for her.
At that moment, Richard let Tiffany go. Even though he had told himself countless times to let her go, his legs refused to listen as he arrived at the hospital. He thought staying by her side for a few consecutive nights was okay.
Richard’s eyes darkened. But at that moment, Tiffany suddenly moved. Hence, he left the ward in the blink of an eye.
Tiffany was a little thirsty. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw no one in the ward. ‘So I was just thinking things.’ She shook her head, not knowing what she was hoping for.
Tiffany asked the nurse to pour a glass of water. But after drinking it, she could not fall asleep. Her mind was filled with wild thoughts. So, Tiffany got up and asked the nurse for a crutch.
When June brought breakfast for Tiffany early in the morning, she saw that Tiffany’s bed was empty. She searched outside the ward but found no one.
When she called the nurse over to ask, she discovered that Tiffany had asked for a pair of crutches and left the hospital early that morning. No one knew where she had gone.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
June was stunned before suddenly guessing something. ‘Could it be she went to Royal Bay?’
June knew Tiffany well. Early in the morning, Tiffany left the hospital alone. She took a taxi and went straight to Royal Bay Then, she stood at the entrance for ten minutes, waiting for someone to open the door. However, Richard avoided her. He refused to let her in.
The guard was in a difficult position. “Miss, Mr. Hampton said he doesn’t want to see any guests today, so… why don’t you call him first?”
This was the result Tiffany had expected. She nodded and lowered her head, looking disappointed. “As expected, he’s avoiding me.” She muttered to herself.
After a long while, she raised her head and looked at one of the windows upstairs. A figure flashed before the French window. ‘Why is he avoiding me like this?’ Tiffany sighed and turned to leave.
Shortly after, she stopped a taxi and got in. She could only sit limply on the passenger seat.
The servant could not bear to see her leave. Tiffany had been to Royal Bay many times. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a good personality. She would never look down on the servants. In his eyes, Tiffany was the perfect woman for Richard.
But seeing the current circumstances between Richard and Tiffany, the entire Royal Bay was speechless, including Richard himself. No one knew what kind of conflict the two of them had. They were clearly on good terms before. The servant could only sigh.
Upstairs, John stood beside Richard and looked at the taxi. Even though he had been warned not to say anything, he still probed. “Sir, why don’t I send Miss Kelley off? Her leg is injured, and it’s inconvenient for her to walk.”
After a pause, he added, “Otherwise, if word gets out, it won’t be good for Royal Bay’s reputation.”
The room was silent for a while. Only then did Richard reply faintly, “Alright.”
Richard agreed. John was overjoyed and immediately went downstairs to take the car.
As he went downstairs, he couldn’t help but think, ‘Since when did Royal Bay ever care about their reputation?’ He was only making up a lousy excuse. But at least it worked.
Since Richard had given John the green light, he thought this might be a good opportunity to help the couple reconcile. Otherwise, he would be anxious just by looking at their tension.
