Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

Tiffany’s eyes darkened. Identifying the direction that Kenneth voice came from, she immediately grabbed his throat without saying a word and pressed him against the tree. The switchblade in her hand was unsheathed.

“Tell me,” she said. “Who are you? Are you one of those people?

She thought. Those hitmen have already tracked me to this point, so they won’t let me off so easily.

The person who can track my movements after gathering information with extraordinary abilities and send people specifically to kill me is either the still–persistent Felix or another group.

In any case, they are all people who are unfavorable to me.’

“Tell me!” Tiffany said, pressing the knife against Kenneth’s neck again.

The switchblade was pressed against his neck swiftly and decisively. The sharp blade instantly scratched his skin.

Traces of blood seeped out, but he didn’t even frown. He explained nervously, “I don’t know who you’re talking about, but I’m a good guy.”

Tiffany was left speechless, and her eyes twitched.

This reply was complicated.

Kenneth almost bit his own tongue. At this moment, he hated himself for not being able to speak eloquently. Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly acted foolishly, with each word he said sounding more silly than the last.

But after taking a long while to think of the right words, all he could manage to say was, “I really want to help you. I have no other intentions.”

He thought, ‘Even if I had other intentions, it would just be a little selfish desire that I can’t say.‘

Tiffany frowned, only believing half of what Kenneth said.

She thought, ‘I don’t know what his motive is, but at least he has no intention of harming me. Otherwise, he could have taken advantage of the fact that I can’t see by secretly stabbing me in the back. This is the perfect moment to do that.

After hesitating for two seconds, Tiffany withdrew her hand.

The switchblade had been retracted, but she still looked a little suspicious.

Kenneth’s heart skipped a beat.

He had never been good at acting and lying. The excuse he just made had caused his face to flush. He felt guilty and nervous.

If Tiffany could see, what she would see was definitely his awkward and ashamed expression.

But to avoid exposing himself, he could only force himself to explain in a deliberately deep and rough voice, “I’m really not a bad guy. Don’t be afraid.”

‘By emphasizing it like this, it seems like I’m exposing myself, huh?‘ he thought.

Kenneth was tongue–tied. He was left speechless by his own words.

“I–I didn’t mean that. You’re lost, so I thought it wouldn’t be safe for you to stay here alone. Maybe you can tell me where you’re going. I… I can send you home too…”

He thought Tiffany would still be on guard, but to his surprise, she merely said, “Let’s go.”

This time, it was Kenneth’s turn to be stunned. He asked stupidly, Where are we going?”

“Didn’t you say you’re going to the Azure Sea Royal Family’s place to buy medicinal herbs?” Tiffany flashed a sweet and charming smile. “It’s on my way. Please bring me along. Thank you.”

Kenneth thought, “The sweet and somewhat fawning attitude of the girl in front of me is completely different from the fierceness of just moments ago when she had the knife pressed against my throat.

He touched the wound and smiled helplessly, finding that such a contrast in her attitude was really indescribably cute….

Just like that, he continued to hold the stick in Tiffany’s hand and brought her out of the valley and into the helicopter.

Not far behind, his subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what the next arrangement would be.

Kenneth waved at them and mouthed a few words silently, roughly indicating that they should all pretend to be villagers from a nearby village…

The subordinates were greatly shocked. However, they had no choice but to do as they were told.

So, soon after Tiffany boarded the helicopter, she heard loud voices coming from many people.

The kind–hearted man named Jumbo, who brought her to the helicopter, explained, “They’re all from our village.”

“Oh Tiffany nodded and gestured around. “Sorry for bothering you guys.”

One of the subordinates quickly replied, “Not at all. You’re not bothering us.” But upon seeing Kenneth giving him a look that signaled a message and mouthing a remark, the subordinate understood and spoke again.

“While we were coming out of the village moments ago, we bumped into a group of outsiders in black suits and dealt with them. Young lady, those people are not your companions, right?

Tiffany thought, ‘He must be referring to that group of hitmen.‘

She shook her head and said, “Nope.”

“That’s good then. They have run off after getting beaten by us. Come along with us, just in case they return again. We’ll make sure you’re safe.”

“Thank you.” Tiffany nodded as she expressed thanks.

She thought, ‘I initially thought the gunshots were fired because June and the others had run into those hitmen, but it turns out it was these villagers taking care of those hitmen. They’re badass.

Tiffany lowered her eyes.

In that case, she reckoned that even if she was separated from June, she did not have to worry about their safety anymore.

After all, the hitmen’s target had always been her.

The helicopter slowly took off.

In the huge cabin, this group of “villagers” were chatting about some gossip from the village.

Half of this gossip was made up, while the other half was based on their acting skills.

Kenneth heaved a sigh of relief, secretly giving his subordinates a thumbs up.

He thought, ‘I can’t detect anything fishy in their words, so Tiffany definitely won’t suspect anything

Tiffany was indeed not in the mood to guess their motives.

She thought. “There’s nothing worse than the current situation. Besides, I believe these people won’t harm me. If they wanted to, they would have long done it.

As she could not see anything, she leaned against the cabin wall, spending the entire time closing her eyes and resting.

The noisy sounds in her ears gradually quieted down. The people in the helicopter seemed to have fallen asleep during the long flight one after another, leaning and slumping in all directions.

Faint snoring could be heard.

Tiffany closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Richard.

She thought, ‘I wonder how Richard’s injuries are and whether that bastard Felix would take advantage of his serious injuries to attack him again.

‘All I can do is hurry and rush to the Azure Sea Royal Family’s place to beg for the medicine.

‘Only with that medicine will Richard be able to wake up…

Tiffany was filled with anxiety, but the more she felt this way, the more she needed to stay calm.

Just as she was zoning out, her forehead was wet and cold, accompanied by a sharp pain.From NôvelDrama.Org.

She instinctively wanted to attack, but before she made a move, the smell of iodine lingered in her nose.

Someone was disinfecting her injured forehead and applying medicine to it.

The person seemed to be very careful, cautiously dabbing the wound with a cotton swab.

Tiffany slowly relaxed and kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. Once that person moved away from her a few minutes later, she slowly opened her eyes.

All that met her eyes was still a blur of gray and black, with nothing clear in sight.

Previously, June had asked her how long it would take for her to recover from her blindness. She said it would take at most two days.

But it had been two days, and she still couldn’t see anything….

Tiffany’s heart sank, thinking, ‘Could it be that… I’d never be able to see again?‘
