Chapter 69
June was slightly surprised.
She had long heard of Richard’s swift and decisive methods in business and all kinds of shocking legends related to him. Even so, she was stunned when she saw him with her own eyes.
She thought, This is a very dangerous man.”
Tiffany was calm when faced with Richard.
She stepped forward and greeted him. “Hello, Mr. Hampton.”
Richard was somewhat caught off guard.
He did not expect Sidney’s jinx to come true.
He was surprised to find out that the Miracle Healer was such a young woman.
Richard replied. “Hi”
Tiffany asked, “Where’s the patient?”
Tiffany smiled and went straight to the point. “Can I take a look at the patient now?”
Richard replied, “Of course.”
He had specially invited her over for this purpose.
Richard admired how straightforward the Miracle Healer was.
Richard personally led Tiffany to the second floor.
Sidney stopped June from following Tiffany.
June, let’s wait downstairs.” Sidney smiled and politely invited June to sit at the couch.
Royal Bay was Richard’s favorite residence.
No outsider had ever set foot in this private domain.
Richard, who was obsessed with cleanliness, made an exception for the first time to allow outsiders to come over in order for Evan to get treated.
June was worried, but Tiffany gave her a reassuring look.
June waited on the couch.
Meanwhile, Tiffany followed Richard all the way to the second floor of the villa. After passing through a long corridor and an empty lounge, they stopped at the door of a room.
Richard opened the door to reveal a simple yet luxurious room.
Tiffany entered the room and saw a child lying on a big bed.
The child was good-looking. It was a pity that his eyes were tightly shut and his breathing was weak.
He was in a vegetative state.
Richard stood at the side and said calmly, “He injured his head a year ago and bec. a vegetable. Does he have a chance of recovery?”
Tiffany did not answer. She went forward and checked the child’s pupils before checking his pulse carefully.
Then, she stood up and looked straight into Richard’s eyes. She replied, “Yes, but it will take time.”
When Richard heard Tiffany’s calm but confident affirmation, he stared at her intently and asked, “How long will it take?”
Tiffany thought for a moment and said, “Well… I think he can recover within a month
Richard replied, “Okay.”
Richard initially had given up hope on Evan waking up because even Sidney could not heal him.
However, now, this young and delicate girl breathed hope into Richard that Evan could be saved.
If Evan could really recover, Richard would finally fulfill his sister’s wish before her death. Richard asked, “What do you want?”
Richard took a step forward and looked straight into Tiffany’s eyes with a hint of probing
Tiffany subconsciously took a step back and replied calmly, I haven’t thought about it yet, but perhaps one day, I’ll need your help, Mr. Hampton. We’ll be even then…
Actually, even if there was no reward, Tiffany would still help Richard.
She owed him.
However, Richard frowned slightly at her answer.
He looked dissatisfied.
Tiffany could not figure out what he was thinking, so she asked tentatively, ‘Mr. Hampton, is there a problem?”
Richard thought, There is a huge problem. What if this Miracle Healer has any lewd thoughts about me? Sidney might really have jinxed this. If this girl asks me for marriage, I can’t possibly agree to it
Although there was only a very slim possibility that that would happen, Richard had to avoid such a misunderstanding.
Richard ordered, “Change it. I’ll satisfy you in terms of wealth or fame.
Tiffany argued, “But I don’t-
She didn’t lack anything.
Tiffany was about to say something when she had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, “You’re worried that I will ask you to devote your life to me, aren’t you?”
Richard remained silent.
Looking at Richard’s cold and reluctant face, Tiffany knew that she had guessed correctly!
After a moment of silence, Tiffany couldn’t hold in her amusement and laughed out loud
She laughed until she teared up a little. She placed one hand on the table beside her for support, and her stomach hurt from Laughing
After a long while, Tiffany finally calmed down.
However, her eyes, which were as bright as the stars, were sparkling after being covered in tears. Her face, which was initially ordinary, now revealed a charming hint of playfulness.
She held back her laughter and assured Richard, saying, “Mr. Hampton, you’re overthinking. I promise that if I need your help in the future, I won’t force you to go against your wishes. Of course, if you’re worried, I can sign a contract.”
Richard replied, “That won’t be necessary.
Richard looked away from Tiffany’s face. His handsome face was cold as he ordered, “You may start your treatment now.”
Tiffany said. “Sure.”
Tiffany was confident about her skill and did not mind having spectators. She placed her bag on the table and opened it, revealing rows of silver needles shimmering with a cold light.
Tiffany was focused
An hour later, Evan’s body was covered in silver needles from head to toe.
After inserting all the needles, Tiffany’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Performing the acupuncture was not a labor intensive task, but Tiffany had to exhaust a lot of concentration on it.
Tiffany announced, “Alright. We need to wait for two hours before I can remove the needles.”
She finished applying the last silver needle and spoke without looking up.
Richard leaned against the wall the entire time and watched as the slender figure busied herself.
From his angle, he could see Tiffany’s thick and long eyelashes. When she was looking down, her eyelashes cast an extremely faint shadow on her face. Her cherry red lips looked mesmerizing.
At a glance, the Miracle Healer had an ordinary appearance. However, she emanated a unique aura, and her crystal clear eyes drew people to her.
Her back looked especially familiar.
Richard narrowed his eyes.
For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from the Miracle Healer.
There were very few women that he would commit to memory However, he indeed had no recollection of meeting the Miracle Healer prior.
Richard wondered if he was just having a sense of deja vu
After finished inserting the needles, Tiffany casually wiped her sweat and blinked. She asked, “Mr. Hampton, can I get some water?”
Since they needed to wait for two hours, they did not need to stay in the room the entire time.
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, “Of course.”
He brought Tiffany to the lounge on the second floor. A servant immediately came up to serve her water. All kinds of snacks and fruits were also prepared.
The servant asked respectfully, “Miss, do you need anything else to eat?”
Tiffany replied, I’m good. Thank you.”
Tiffany sat on the couch and ate slowly.
Richard received a call. He said, “Excuse me.”
With that, he entered a room that looked like a study.
The servant also left.
Tiffany was the only one left in the huge lounge on the second floor.
She could tell that outsiders t were not allowed to enter this place. Even the servants could not come up to the second floor without permission.
After resting for a while, Tiffany got up to walk around.
As a guest, she followed the etiquette and never approached other rooms. However, she figured she could wander around the guest lounge to pass the time.
The entire villa was humongous.
The lounge was spacious and had good lighting. She could enjoy the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling window. Her view was unobstructed..
Tiffany walked over to the window leisurely
As she approached the window, she stepped on something. She heard a soft pattering sound from under the heavy and expensive silk carpet.
