Chapter 261-
This trip to Misty Ridge was much smoother than expected.
The next morning, they boarded the plane and returned.
Tiffany could not wait to concoct medicine, so she hurried off to Luna Villa as soon as she returned to Lovell City.
She stayed in the basement for three consecutive days.
When she came out, she was tired and sleepy, but the results were fruitful.
Most importantly, other than those spirit herbs, the medicine in the small porcelain bottle she was holding could cure Thalia’s headache.
Although every checkup indicated that it was a psychological issue that could not be cured, at least it would prevent Thalia from having a headache to the point where she could only take painkillers to relieve it whenever she was worried or agitated.
Tiffany was relieved and couldn’t wait to go home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw an unfamiliar car parked there.
She recognized the driver in the car. He was someone from the Harper family.
She thought, ‘Could it be that Kenneth has arrived? That’s impossible.’
Filled with suspicion, Tiffany walked in.
In the living room, she saw Melody chatting and laughing with her mother on the sofa, looking quite close.
Tiffany smiled mockingly, thinking, ‘I’ve only been away from Lovell City for just two days, plus I spent three days and nights refining medicine. It hasn’t even been a week, and someone is already so eager to visit?’
She walked forward and saw that there were many nutritional supplements piled up on the side. She thought, ‘No doubt. These must have been brought by Melody.
Seeing her return, the two people on the sofa stopped chatting.
Thalia was full of surprise. “Eh, how come you are back?” she said. “Didn’t you say you would be staying on campus during this period?”
Melody interjected, saying, “Staying on campus? Eh, didn’t Tiffany take a week off?”
With that said, Melody saw Tiffany looking at her with a faint smile, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with an apologetic expression and said, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I misspoke. I’m sorry.”
Tiffany clicked her tongue, her smile becoming more and more playful.
She thought, ‘I haven’t said anything yet, and she’s already feeling aggrieved.
“So you came to my house to show concern to me or my family?”
Melody hurriedly explained, her voice trailing off. “I know Mrs. Harper’s health is poor, so I thought I’d bring some supplements over. They can really help with her headaches, so… I’m sorry. I was being forward. If Mrs. Harper doesn’t want them, they can be thrown away.”
‘Look at that,’ Tiffany thought. ‘How considerate! An outsider is doing more than I, as her daughter, ever have!’

Tiffany sneered. She had never liked indulging anyone, be it the former Sandra or the current Melody.
She immediately called out, “Elsa, throw them out!”
“Got it, Miss Kelley,” Elsa replied.
She immediately went forward, picked up the pile of supplements on the floor, and was about to walk out.

Thalia was stunned, not expecting her daughter to be so disrespectful. She blocked Elsa helplessly and said, “Put them down. Put them down. She’s just being kind.”
Melody was at a loss, looking pitiful as she said, “I’m sorry for bothering you.”
With that said, she bowed to Thalia and apologized. Then, she jogged out of the villa and got into the car arranged for her by Kenneth.
The driver saw her run out crying. Even though she tried her best to hold it in, her eyes were still teary. He did not ask anything, merely secretly sending a message to Kenneth.
In the villa, Thalia pointed at Tiffany’s forehead with a reproachful expression, saying, “You!”
She was still filled with affection. There wasn’t a hint of blame.
Tiffany leaned forward and said, “Mom, interact with her less from now on. She and Sandra are considered the same type of people. She has even stolen my manuscript before.”
Thalia was dumbfounded. “Is there such a thing? She doesn’t look like that kind of person.”
She thought, ‘Melody comes across as obedient and generous. She’s very understanding and considerate, making everyone who sees her like her. Moreover…’
Thalia lowered her gaze, concealing the trace of sorrow in her eyes.
“In any case, just do as I say. It’s not like our family doesn’t have these supplements. Why should we accept her so-called kindness? Besides, these things might be related to the Harper family. It won’t be good if word gets out. Let’s keep our distance.”
Tiffany felt that she was also worried sick.
As she spoke, she let out a sigh.
Thalia burst out laughing. “My little princess, when did you become wise beyond your years? Why are you sighing? I’ll do as you say.”
“That’s more like it.”
Tiffany sat down on the sofa and let out a soft snort. “Then be good. We don’t want these things.”
She thought, ‘No supplement can compare to a pill in my hand
As she spoke, she poured out one elixir pill from the small porcelain bottle and brought it to Thalia’s mouth. “Here, take this.”
Thalia asked nothing, swallowing it immediately.
The moment the elixir pill entered her stomach, a wave of warmth swept through her entire body. The faint fragrance of the herbs lingered in her mouth, and her thoughts became clearer.
Thalia found it somewhat magical. She could not help but ask, “What is this?”

“An elixir pill,” Tiffany replied with a smile, “I asked Miracle Healer to give me. He said it can treat headaches. To ensure its effectiveness, it needs to be taken continuously for a week. After that, you’ll never have headaches again.”
Tiffany spoke a mix of truths and lies without even blinking.

As soon as she mentioned Miracle Healer’s name, Thalia immediately believed her and asked incredulously, “You were away from home for the past few days and took leave from school. Did you go to request for medicine?”
“Yeah.” Tiffany nodded.
She thought, ‘It wasn’t just about requesting medicine. I also flew to Misty Ridge to search for medicinal herbs and was pushed off a cliff, nearly falling to my death.
But she could not say these things, so she said casually, “A friend just happens to know someone at Medicinal Haven, so he helped me leverage our friendship to get it.”
Tiffany smiled dismissively.
But Thalia suddenly turned teary, saying, “Silly child.”
Even if she didn’t understand, she had heard that it wasn’t easy to request medicine from Medicinal Haven.
She felt that her daughter must have gone through quite a bit of hardship.
Tears immediately fell from her eyes.-
She reached out and touched Tiffany’s head. Her eyes were filled with a complicated expression that others could not understand. Looking as if she had made some kind of determination, she said softly, “From now on, I won’t think about anything else. It’s time to let go of this burden on my heart.”
Tiffany was slightly stunned.
She didn’t understand, but Thalia was already smiling. Even at over forty, she remained a beautiful woman, exuding a refined demeanor. She was graceful and poised, still looking young.
Tiffany thought, “This is pretty good!’
She no longer asked.
After staying up for three consecutive nights, she was utterly exhausted. She went upstairs to take a shower and prepare to catch up on her sleep, only to find three missed calls from unknown numbers on her phone.
Too lazy to call back, Tiffany lay on the bed. Just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang again.
“Hello? Can I help you?”
Her voice was a bit hoarse, carrying a cat-like laziness that was quite endearing.
Kenneth was unable to express what he wanted to say.
On the other end of the line, Tiffany asked impatiently again, “Who’s there?”
She thought, ‘It’s just downright rude to disturb someone’s sleep!
She was about to hang up the phone impatiently when Kenneth finally snapped back to the present and confronted her, saying, “Tiffany, I’m warning you. Melody’s just being kind. Don’t bully her again and again.”
