Chapter 561
Unlike Richard’s open demeanor, Jeremy’s gaze briefly landed on Tiffany during the quiet moment. However, he quickly looked away, making sure no one noticed.
Minutes passed.
Tiffany’s fingers finally stopped moving. After focusing on hypnosis for so long, her throat felt dry.
Suddenly, a glass of water appeared in front of her.
Looking up, she saw Richard’s handsome face.
“Don’t stare at me. Drink,” he teased, a playful smile in his voice,
Tiffany rolled her eyes but took the glass, sipping the water. Then, she turned her attention to the Azure Sea King lying on the bed. Gently patting his shoulder, Tiffany called softly, “Grandpa? Grandpa?”
This time, she was careful, not wanting to jolt him awake.
The Azure Sea King’s eyelids fluttered. But before he could fully open his eyes, Ewan who had been unconscious on the floor, stirred awake first.
Finding himself sprawled on the ground, Ewan looked confused. His gaze landed suspiciously on Tiffany, and he almost blurted out, “Did you hit me?”
Before Ewan could say more, a faint cough came from the bed.
The king’s eyes opened.
“Grandpa!” Tiffany exclaimed, her face lighting up with relief.
The elderly man blinked at her, his cloudy eyes wide with shock and wonder. His lips trembled, trying to form words, but overwhelming emotion held him silent.
Ewan, thinking the king was about to scold Tiffany, rushed forward to complain. “Your Majesty, this girl performed unauthorized acupuncture on you! She could have harmed you. You must punish her!”
The Azure Sea King said nothing, his gaze fixed on Tiffany with a dazed expression.
Ewan persisted. “Your Majesty, she needs to be taught a lesson!”
Suddenly, the Azure Sea King reacted. Despite his frailty, the king sat up and kicked Ewan, his voice thundering. “Punish her? You dare suggest I punish my granddaughter? The granddaughter I’ve spent years searching for? You’re the one who needs discipline for overstepping your bounds!”
Though the kick wasn’t strong, the king’s words hit like a hammer. Ewan stumbled back, disbelief written all over his face.
“Granddaughter?” Ewan stammered. “But the royal family’s granddaughter went missing years ago! This can’t be!”
“Your Majesty… are you sure? Could you be mistaken?” Ewan dared to ask.
The Azure Sea King’s face darkened. Picking up a pillow, the king threw it at Ewan. “Mistaken? Do you think I wouldn’t recognize my own flesh and blood? You’re the one who’s confused!”
The king regretted it deeply.
His little princess had arrived in the Azure Sea and taken on the challenge at Treasure Pavilion right under his nose. Michael

Memories of the night Tiffany disappeared flooded his mind, the chaos, betrayal, and blood on the carpet. He had been too busy managing the crisis to protect her. By the time he realized traitors had taken her, it was too late.
For thirteen years, he had lived with the guilt of failing her. He had lost not just his son and daughter–in–law that night but also the only granddaughter he had left.
