Chapter 459

Curiosity kills the cat. Romeo had warned his stubborn grandson time and time again not to dig into the Treasure Box.

He had told him countless times to leave it alone, not even to mention it to anyone. Kenneth had promised just as many times, but in the end, he hadn't really listened. The result? A brutal, bloody backlash-one that couldn't be undone, no matter how deep their regret ran.

Romeo, so furious he nearly fainted, felt a rush of anger and bitter regret. He had managed to keep the Treasure Box safe for over a decade, relocating it often to avoid detection. But a simple mistake-a chance encounter where Kenneth discovered the box's hiding place-had unraveled it all.

This investigation had exposed everything, and now there was no one left to blame.

As Romeo slumped back onto the bed, his face drained of color and his breathing grew erratic.

His men, alarmed, quickly called for a doctor. After a quick check, the doctor's face grew grim. "He's having a myocardial infarction. Move him to the resuscitation room, now!"

The nurses quickly wheeled Romeo away, leaving Kenneth standing alone, his arm hanging at his side. He looked lost, defeated.

"It's all my fault," he muttered, voice barely a whisper. All for a curiosity he couldn't control, for doubts he refused to let go of. He'd wanted answers, yet those answers had brought calamity on his family.

"Grandpa." Watching the emergency room light turn red, Kenneth felt the weight in his chest grow. The empty hallway felt vast, cold, like he was standing alone in an open field, each gust of wind hitting him like shards of ice. Covering his face, he felt his hands begin to shake.

Tiffany sighed and stepped forward. "He'll be alright."

With her spirit herbs strengthening Romeo's heart and extending his life, if that still couldn't save him, her reputation as the Miracle Healer might truly be on the line.

But some wounds-well, no amount of herbs could heal those scars completely.

Tiffany wasn't sure how to comfort Kenneth, so she left a small, white glass bottle by his side and slipped away quietly.
