Chapter 460

The dark blue light had a powerful healing effect.

Slowly, the wound just a centimeter from Richard's heart started to close up. Even the powder that had caused him to fall unconscious was slowly being dissolved by the light.

But no one noticed. Sidney kept pacing back and forth when a servant knocked and said, "Mr. Pauley, there's a young lady outside who wants to see Mr. Hampton. She-" Without a second thought, Sidney shot her down. "No."

Since the mess at Richard's engagement party, the gates of Royal Bay had been nearly knocked down, with all sorts of people showing up trying to get in.

They were all just here to test the waters. Sidney wasn't in the mood to play along.

The servant hesitated, then said, "No, Mr. Pauley. This young lady says she knows how to wake Mr. Hampton up, so I thought I should tell you." When it came to Richard, everything at Royal Bay had to be taken seriously. Sidney raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "She really said that?" "Yes."

"Do you know where she's from?" he asked again.

The servant shook her head. "No. She doesn't seem to be from Lovell City, and she doesn't look like the heiress of any family I've seen before. She seems... unfamiliar."

Sidney found that curious. The world only knew about Richard's stabbing at the engagement party. Royal Bay had kept everything about his injuries and condition under wraps. So, this woman shouldn't have known Richard was unconscious. "Let her in," he said, a wry smile pulling at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to know who this mysterious person was. The servant nodded and left. A moment later, the young girl was brought in, and the servant gestured for her to take a seat.

The girl bit her lip, her voice soft and a little nervous. "Thank you."

She sat down on the sofa, staying still and not looking around, her face innocent and unsure.

A little while later, Sidney came downstairs. From the stairs, he saw a girl in a pink sweater sitting on the sofa in the fancy living room. Her brown hair framed her small back, and she seemed a bit nervous, staying in place without moving.

There was something familiar about her, but for a moment, Sidney couldn't place her. He frowned and decided to cut to the chase. "What's your business with Mr. Hampton?"

When she heard him, the girl on the sofa finally looked up.
