Chapter 662
Richard gently kissed Tiffany's cheek. "Sitney's been taken to the hospital. He hurt his head," he said. "I'm going to visit him."
"Okay," Tiffany said, nodding. She was still worried and gave him special instructions. "Do you still have the spirit herbs? If not, I'll ask June to send some."
"Yes, I do."
Richard's phone rang. It was a company matter. He glanced at it and hung up. "Please tell your parents later. I'll go to the hospital," he said.
"Alright. Remember to let me know if there's anything," Tiffany said.
Richard nodded and left. John was waiting at the Cedar Ridge Villa in his car. Richard got in, and the black luxury car slowly disappeared from Tiffany's sight.
"Why would Sitney be hospitalized for no reason?" Tiffany mused, rubbing her chin. "I bumped into him at school yesterday morning and told him where Zoe might be. Coincidentally, he was injured last night. Could it be related to Zoe?"
Tiffany called Zoe, but she didn't answer. After thinking, Tiffany called June and asked her to take some medicine to the hospital. If Sitney was seriously injured, the spirit herbs could save his life. Tiffany went back inside the villa after making the arrangements.
Charlie and Thalia were awake. The kitchen staff had prepared a steaming, fragrant breakfast. Tiffany walked to the dining table and noticed her parents didn't look well; there were dark circles under their eyes.
Is it because of their dreams last night? she thought. Her heart ached, but she asked, "Dad, Mom, did you have nightmares last night?"
Thalia forced a smile. "Yes, I don't know why," she replied.
"What did you dream about?" Tiffany asked.
Thalia started to answer, then stopped. "It's nothing; I forgot as soon as I woke up." Her dream had been real and terrifying, keeping her awake most of the night. She didn't tell Tiffany because she didn't want to frighten her.
"Oh," Tiffany replied, not pressing further.
The family ate breakfast together. Afterward, Charlie went to the company, and Eric went to school.

Chapter 662 (Continued)
Tiffany massaged Thalia's temples in the large villa. "Mom, go and sleep. You didn't sleep well last night."
"Okay," Thalia nodded, allowing Tiffany to walk her back to her bedroom.
It was nine o'clock when Tiffany left Thalia's room. Jeffrey should be happily handling the coal mine approval process, shouldn't he? she thought.
Tiffany smiled and walked out of the villa. June was arriving at Cedar Ridge Villa just as she left.
Tiffany got into June's car. "How is Sitney?" she asked.
"He fell on his head and needed twenty-three stitches," June said. "He also has a mild concussion. I've given him the medicine; he should recover in a few days."
"That's good," Tiffany replied, picking up a large bag beside her seat. Inside were her disguise items, brought from the Luna Villa. It was easier to change her identity if she needed to cause trouble.
She skillfully applied makeup, covering her stunning appearance with an ordinary one. The Miracle Healer, who had been "missing," reappeared. Satisfied, she touched up her makeup and asked, "June, did you bring the clothes?"
"Yes, they're in the box," June replied. Tiffany needed a complete change of clothes and shoes for her disguise. The car's one-way glass provided privacy.
Tiffany unbuttoned her clothes and opened the box. June had included a tight-fitting dress—a sexy, comfortable style with exquisite embroidery.
Tiffany was stunned before putting on the dress. Out of curiosity, June glanced back. She'd bought the dress last week and hadn't expected this to be the perfect opportunity to give it to Tiffany.
June gasped. Tiffany looked dignified, noble, elegant, and charming in the dress. Her every move had an ethereal quality; she was captivating.
June didn't hide her admiration. "Miss Kelley, you're gorgeous!" she exclaimed. She’d seen others in tight-fitting dresses, but Tiffany's combination of purity and allure was uniquely captivating.
Tiffany raised her eyebrows and tied up her hair. Her disguise made her beautiful face seem less ordinary. She was pleased with the result.
"June, do you know what I regret most?" Tiffany asked.
"What?"
"I'm so beautiful, but I can't kiss my own face!"
June laughed. "Yes, Miss Kelley, you're right."
They continued chatting as the car left Lovell City, heading to a mountain outside the city where a rich coal mine had been discovered. The project was highly sought after. Richard owned the development rights but, not needing the money, had given the project to Charlie, his father-in-law.
Everyone was envious, but Jeffrey boasted about having secured the development rights, even showing the signed contract.
Tiffany narrowed her eyes and got out of the car.
