Chapter 687
The enemy seemed to know the area in the Azure Sea Royal Family’s estate even better than Richard Ad. The formy wed
in that advantage to slip out of his grasp
Since he was already here, Richard couldn’t let this hidden danger continue to exist.
So, he spent a day in the Azure Sea Royal Family’s estate, investigating the person who had tried to harm Tiffany.
When he found out the location of the restricted zone, he saw Tiffany enter the castle alone. He followed quietly, making his move only now.
After hearing this explanation. Tiffany felt much better.
“You should have told me! I was so worried!” she said, still a little upset.
“I know, and I promise there won’t be a next time, Richard replied gently as he wiped the tears from Tiffany’s face, planting a soft kiss on her eyelid.
Tiffany blushed slightly, especially when she remembered that over the past few days, her appetite had been off. She had even thrown up after drinking soup yesterday. At the time, Elsa had suggested she might be pregnant.
She hadn’t had the chance to check yet, and now she wondered if it was too soon to tell Richard.
Tiffany hesitated, planning her words carefully. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a slight sound from the bed
The silver needles had been left in too long, and instead of expelling the poison, they were now reversing the process.
Tiffany quickly pulled away from Richard’s embrace and rushed to the bed, removing all the needles.
The woman lying there had grown even paler, but Tiffany quickly administered two spirit herbs and took her pulse. Qnce she confirmed the woman’s condition had stabilized, she let out a small sigh of relief.
Richard walked over, his expression serious. “You really want to save her?”
Kajus had originally intended to eliminate Tiffany. If Tiffany hadn’t arrived first, Richard would have wiped out this castle already.
Tiffany nodded, her face hardening. “I’ll save her, but not for nothing.”
It was a transaction.
Though Kajus had provoked her, she might still need his help. In that case, it would be better to keep him on her side for
now.
“As you wish,” Richard said, his voice filled with indulgence, always deferring to Tiffany’s wishes.
Tiffany’s expression grew more serious as she focused on the task at hand. “I need to needle her again.”
The poison in the woman’s body was stubborn. The time overrun had caused some side effects for her, so another round of acupuncture was necessary.
With complete concentration, Tiffany worked without a hint of distraction.
Richard, standing beside her, gazed at her with adoration and tenderness. His eyes were full of warmth. He stood silently with a soft smile.
This round took even longer than the last. Two hours later, Tiffany finally sighed in relief.

She withdrew her hands, and Richard immediately used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her brow.
Richard asked, “Are you tired?”
“A little,” Tiffany replied, though she smiled. “But it worked.”
Although it was a little tricky, he still gained something. Tiffany smiled and said, “It’s done!”

Just then, Kajus, who had been pacing outside, could no longer contain his impatience. He knocked on the door. “How is it? What’s going on in there?”
“Come in,” Tiffany called out.
The door immediately swung open..
Kajus’s gaze immediately landed on the woman lying on the bed. Her pallor was still severe, but her once–unstable breathing now showed signs of steadiness, and her pulse was noticeably stronger.
He was surprised. As his eyes shifted to Tiffany, he finally noticed the man who had been standing quietly by her side.
The man radiated an intimidating aura, his every movement exuding a commanding presence. Dressed in an air of aristocracy superiority, his face seemed etched with coldness and menace.
Kajus raised a brow, both surprised and unsurprised.
Two nights ago, after his failed attempt to kidnap Tiffany and an entire night being relentlessly pursued, he realized he had erossed paths with someone far beyond his ability to handle.
That night, it was too dark for them to see each other’s faces. Yet now, in this moment of confrontation, recognition dawned instantly.
“It’s you?” Kajus’s expression flickered as he alternated between looking at Richard and Tiffany. His eyes betrayed unease and disbelief.
This restricted zone was his domain, fortified with countless traps and mechanisms. He had personally allowed Tiffany to enter, keeping her every move under surveillance.
However, Richard managed to infiltrate undetected. Even Kajus himself hadn’t noticed until now.
Internally, Kajus was shaken.
He finally met the ruthless, calculated, and unyielding Richard. His reputation was well–earned. If Kajus had known this earlier, he would never have recklessly tried to kidnap Tiffany that night.
Now, there was no turning back.
Suppressing his unease, Kajus asked, “How is she?”
“Stable,” Tiffany replied, checking the time. “She should wake up in a little while.”
“That fast?” Kajus’s tone brimmed with skepticism. It sounded too good to be true.
He had spent years seeking the best medical experts to treat his fiancée, scouring even the Azure Sea Royal Family’s renowned apothecaries, all to no avail. Every diagnosis had been hopeless.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken a huge risk to force Deacon into activating the powerful array formation.
Years of disappointment made Tiffany’s words seem like a mockery.

Kajus suddenly felt anstety, bope, and fear of yet another letdown.
Just then, Morwen stormed in. Without warning, she yanked out the silver needle from her upper lip and scoffed. “What a
shameless liet”
She didn’t believe any of it.
From the moment Tiffany had inserted a needle into her upper lip, claiming removal would render her permanently mute, she had been suspicious,
For a long time, Morwen endured the discomfort, resisting the urge to speak. But eventually, her impatience got the better of her, and she decided to test it by taking out the needle. To her surprise, her speech was unaffected.
Only then did she realize Tiffany had been toying with her all along.
Stomping her foot in indignation, Morwen said, “Kajus, he’s tricking you! Why haven’t you captured her yet?”
Tiffany cast her an amused glance. “You really played mute for hours. How obedient.
Morwen retorted, “You’re nothing but a fraud, bluffing your way through everything!”
“Admit that you’re stupid. Stop making excuses for your gullibility.”
“You…” Morwen was livid, trembling with fury. She lost all rationality and lunged at Tiffany,
Tiffany remained calm, entirely unfazed.
Richard, however, was less forgiving. He was prepared to kick Morwen away without hesitation.
But in that instant, chaos erupted.
The long–unconscious woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes wide. She leaped from the bed in an eerie movement and lunged straight for Tiffany.
Everyone’s attention was on Morwen, so they couldn’t react in time.
Morwen’s charge toward Tiffany. Then, the knife flung by the woman struck Morwen instead of Tiffany. The knife plunged mercilessly into Morwen’s back.
