Chapter 636
An invisible force seemed to be trying to change Richard's mind, even swaying his love for Tiffany toward another. This feeling intensified when he saw Morwen at the wedding banquet. Any attempt to resist felt like his body was being pierced by needles, causing excruciating pain. He hid his distress from Tiffany, pretending everything was normal.
He smiled and repeated, "No one and nothing can change my feelings for you." No matter what control he was under, even if it killed him, he loved only Tiffany. He couldn't imagine loving another.
Tiffany, heartbroken and angry, responded, "Idiot, don't think about anything. Be good. When we reach Luna Villa, I'll find a way to remove the poison."
Their car arrived at Luna Villa, where June had prepared everything. Seeing Tiffany, June rushed forward to open the car door. "Tiffany, everything is ready," she said.
Tiffany nodded. As she turned to help Richard, he avoided her hand, exiting the car with a calm expression.
"You…" Tiffany began, but Richard raised a hand, gently caressing her face. He whispered, "Someone is nearby."
Tiffany instantly understood. They were being watched. Were they planning to kill them? Or were they aware of Richard's injury and planning an attack?
Instantly regaining her composure, Tiffany smiled, changing her support from his hand to his arm, acting like a loving wife.
Turning to June, Tiffany's eyes hardened. "Before I come out of the basement, our fate is in your hands."
June, understanding immediately, nodded. "Don't worry."
"Be careful," Tiffany added.
Their observers, unaware of the situation within Miracle Healer, wouldn't dare to act rashly. Even if they did, the villa was laced with poison—a deadly trap for intruders.
Feeling reassured, Tiffany and Richard entered the villa hand-in-hand. The door closed behind them.
Chapter 630
As the sun set, Tiffany led Richard into the basement of Luna Villa. Even before entering, he smelled a faint, unusual fragrance—a unique blend of countless herbs. This was his first time in the basement. Seeing where Tiffany made her medicines, his gaze softened. "In the future, when you make medicine, I'll accompany you," he said, concerned about her working alone for so long.
Tiffany laughed. "It's not as bad as you think."
Richard asked, "What about this time? Do you have a way to remove the poison?"
"Simple. Eat this first." Tiffany slipped several spirit herbs into his mouth, eating some herself. "The poison is Double Love Poison. The only cure is a blood transfusion."
Seeing Richard's reaction, she smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. It's not dangerous."
Relieved, Richard asked, "Really?" He wouldn't agree if it threatened Tiffany's life.
Tiffany nodded seriously. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
She used silver needles to access their blood vessels. The basement fell silent. The transfusion seemed to be proceeding smoothly. She was relieved. This blood transfusion would give Richard her physique, making him immune to future poisons and bites. It was a blessing in disguise.
"By the way," Tiffany suddenly remembered something crucial. "How did you get poisoned so suddenly? And right before our wedding?" It had to be someone close to him. Was there a traitor in Royal Bay? As she pondered, Richard spoke, "Last night, Kenneth came to see me."
"Kenneth?" Tiffany waved her hand. "It's definitely not him. He's terrified of you. How dare he?"
"What if it was for you?" Richard asked, his jealousy evident as he watched her intently, eager to see any reaction to Kenneth's name. He knew she wouldn't be happy, but jealousy still consumed him.
Tiffany, stunned, asked, "Could it be him? Where would he get Double Love Poison?"
Chapter 636 (Continued)
This poison was practically extinct, known only from ancient texts. Its spread would cause unimaginable chaos. Kenneth must have obtained it from an unusual source.
Noticing Richard's prolonged silence and jealous expression, Tiffany decided to soothe him. She chuckled inwardly, patting his head like a playful dog. "Don't worry. There are many people in the world, but I only like you!"
His jealousy eased at her words. He then asked, "If it's really Kenneth, I won't be merciful. Will you stop me?"
"Why would I?" Tiffany replied. "Everyone is responsible for their actions. Though, I hope he didn't do it."
"Why?" Richard asked.
"Perhaps because he helped me a few times," Tiffany explained, referring to Kenneth's near-fatal rescue of her at Azure Sea Royal Family. She had considered them friends.
