Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring

Chapter 562

The Azure King was pleased by this, but before he could say anything, his earlier outburst took its toll. He coughed violently, his face paling from the strain.

“Grandpa, lie down,” Tiffany said gently as she helped him back onto the bed. She checked his pulse carefully.

It was weak but steady, the same as before. While there was no critical illness, years of emotional strain and depression had left the king’s body frail. At his age, such damage was nearly irreversible.

In other words, even though Tiffany had broken the hypnosis, the king’s body might not last long, perhaps six months, maybe a year.

As Tiffany withdrew her hand, her gaze fell on his wrist. Something caught her eye. She lifted his sleeve and froze.

A red thread–like mark stretched beneath his skin.

Tiffany’s pupils widened as she pushed the sleeve higher, revealing that the thread extended from his wrist toward his heart. The sight sent a chill down her spine.

‘How could not have noticed this before?‘ Tiffany thought.

The answer to why she couldn’t detect any illness in the king’s pulse suddenly became clear. The hypnosis was a distraction. The real threat, the reason for his weakening body, was this red thread. It wasn’t just a mark but a parasite, growing and spreading. Once it overtook his entire body, it would kill him.

Tiffany’s expression hardened.

“Grandpa, when did this appear?” Tiffany asked.
