Afterwards, she shook her head slightly.
"No."
"Since I was born, the Mayfield family has always lived in Westport. The more central the figures in the Mayfield family, the less likely they are to take a step out of Westport."
Selena Kensington’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"Was this rule in place before?"
Annelise Mayfield nodded, but then shook her head again.
"It seems not."
"It was after Aunt returned to the Mayfield Family to inherit the position of Family Head that this rule ca into being."
Again, Lark Mayfield?
Selena quickly caught the word "return" in Annelise’s statent.
She carefully contemplated the aning of these two words.
There was also so confusion on Annelise Mayfield’s face. "Yes, return. But all I know is Aunt wasn’t with the Mayfield family before; she only returned later."
Selena and Sterling Norwood exchanged a glance.
Sterling shook his head slightly at her.
Selena imdiately understood.
She turned her head and smiled at Annelise Mayfield, saying, "I understand. Thank you for your cooperation."
Annelise Mayfield still looked confused, shaking her head. "It’s nothing."
She hadn’t really said much...
"But since Lark Mayfield doesn’t allow you to leave Westport, how did you manage to sneak out?"
Hearing this, Annelise Mayfield looked a bit embarrassed.
"I... I snuck out by blending in with the tourists."
Annelise, having lived in Westport since childhood, was intimately familiar with it.
As long as she wanted, it wasn’t too difficult to get out of Westport.
Selena discreetly changed the topic. "By the way, how’s your studying going recently?"
Hugh Kensington had previously ntioned so things about Annelise Mayfield to Selena.
So she knew that Annelise had been engaged in systematic study during this ti.
Talking about her interests, the light in Annelise Mayfield’s eyes grew noticeably.
She nodded with so excitent. "It’s really fun, very interesting!"
Selena smiled as she looked at her. "That’s good. You should head back now."
"Okay!"
Annelise wisely got up after agreeing, and the servants at the Norwood Family ho led her away.
After Annelise left, Selena looked at Sterling Norwood. "It seems we should have Lark Mayfield co over."
Sterling nodded slightly.
"It won’t be long before she cos looking on her own."
Selena was sowhat puzzled. "Why?"
Sterling smiled as he answered her. "The Dalton Family is arranging a marriage alliance with the Blanchett Family."
Upon hearing this, Selena suddenly understood.
With a marriage alliance between the Dalton and Blanchett families, the news will surely be announced nationwide.
Thus, Roxanne Sutton will surely receive the news as well.
In order to return again, she will undoubtedly seek the help of the Mayfield family.
And at that ti, Lark Mayfield will certainly realize that Annelise Mayfield has snuck out, so she’ll definitely co herself.
"Then we’ll wait for her to co personally."
Just right, Selena had so questions for Lark Mayfield.
After discussing Annelise Mayfield’s matter, Selena suddenly wanted to visit Veridia Hospital to see Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton.
"I’m heading to the hospital."
"I’ll take you there."
Sterling Norwood rose to follow her.
After the family eting yesterday, Sterling had already instructed the scattered Norwood Family mbers across the Empire to return to Aethelgard.
Moreover, on the day Felicity Dalton encountered trouble, Sterling had dispatched the Norwood Family’s Hidden Guard to search for suspicious characters in Aethelgard.
Nevertheless, Sterling wasn’t comfortable with the idea of Selena going out alone now.
To reassure Sterling, Selena nodded. "Alright."
Following this, Selena had the kitchen pack so snacks and then left with Sterling.
*
Veridia Hospital.
When Selena and Sterling arrived, the ward consisted of Felicity Dalton, who remained in bed, Hugh Kensington, and Grandma Jennings.
Seeing Grandma Jennings in the ward, Selena exclaid with surprise, "Grandma."
Grandma Jennings looked at them warmly. "Selie and Sterling are here."
Selena nodded with a smile.
"Yes."
Afterward, she placed the packed snacks on the table in the ward.
"Hugh, have you eaten?"
Hugh Kensington nodded slightly. "I have."
"It’s fine. Eat these when you get hungry."
Selena brought these snacks not intending for Hugh to have them as a main al, but rather for him to snack on when hungry.
After all, it wasn’t possible for him to keep fasting while vigilantly staying by Felicity Dalton’s side.
Grandma Jennings sighed slightly and suddenly spoke.
"This child seems sowhat strange."
The three in the room imdiately looked over.
"Grandma, do you an..."
Selena cautiously asked.
"It seems there’s a lock placed on her, but what it locks is unclear."
When Grandma Jennings first arrived, she wanted to try using the Heavenly Master Power to guide and clear Felicity Dalton’s blood vessels and ridians to see if she could wake her.
But as soon as she started using the Heavenly Master Power within Felicity Dalton, she sensed an obstacle.
"A lock?!"
Selena slightly furrowed her brows.
Instinctively, she looked over at Sterling Norwood.
Could this be the Godsbane Organization’s goal?
Then what exactly is on Felicity Dalton?
Grandma Jennings nodded slightly.
Hugh Kensington fell silent on the side.
During this period, he had already learned a lot about the Clan of Celestial Masters and Fell Beasts.
Grandma Jennings had talked about so matters concerning Selena during her stay with the Kensington Family.
Thus, he wasn’t particularly surprised by Grandma Jennings’ words now.
Selena walked over, standing beside Felicity Dalton.
"Let try sothing."
After speaking, she raised one hand.
Her hand released strands of golden light that drilled into Felicity Dalton’s body.
Grandma Jennings watched Selena’s actions, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Selie, how did your ability enhance so much overnight?!"
Earlier, Grandma Jennings had sensed the Heavenly Master Power within Selena herself.
Though abundant, it wasn’t potent.
However, the Heavenly Master Power Selena released today, in its abundance contained a hint of mighty dominance.
Selena didn’t divert her attention to answer Grandma Jennings; she focused on commanding the Heavenly Master Power to clear Felicity Dalton’s ridians.
But when her Heavenly Master Power reached the ridians in Felicity Dalton’s brain, it seed to hit an invisible barrier.
She bit her lip slightly, increasing the impact force.
Due to her force, the barrier faintly showed so cracks.
Selena felt a mont of delight inside, intending to break through the barrier in one go, when suddenly she sensed an extrely familiar aura.
Startled, she reacted too late and received a backlash from the barrier.
Imdiately, she felt a turmoil within her stomach.
Instinctively, she withdrew her hand, and to the astonishnt of others in the room, she ran into the restroom within the ward.
When Selena reached the sink, she couldn’t help but vomit.
"Urgh..."
This unexpected action from Selena shocked everyone else in the room.
Especially Sterling Norwood, who, upon realizing sothing was wrong with Selena, imdiately followed her.
But by the ti he reached the restroom door, Selena had already thrown up.
Sterling’s expression instantly grew solemn.
