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. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"It seems not."

"It was after Aunt returned to the Mayfield Family to inherit the position of Family Head that this rule came into being."

Again, Lark Mayfield?

Selena quickly caught the word "return" in Annelise’s statement.

She carefully contemplated the meaning of these two words.

There was also some 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 immediately 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 mentioned some things about Annelise Mayfield to Selena.

So she knew that Annelise had been engaged in systematic study during this time.

Talking about her interests, the light in Annelise Mayfield’s eyes grew noticeably.

She nodded with some excitement. "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 home led her away.

After Annelise left, Selena looked at Sterling Norwood. "It seems we should have Lark Mayfield come over."

Sterling nodded slightly.

"It won’t be long before she comes looking on her own."

Selena was somewhat 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 time, Lark Mayfield will certainly realize that Annelise Mayfield has snuck out, so she’ll definitely come herself.

"Then we’ll wait for her to come personally."

Just right, Selena had some 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 meeting yesterday, Sterling had already instructed the scattered Norwood Family members 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 some 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 exclaimed 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 meal, 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 somewhat strange."

The three in the room immediately looked over.

"Grandma, do you mean..."

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 meridians 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 some 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 me try something."

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 meridians.

But when her Heavenly Master Power reached the meridians in Felicity Dalton’s brain, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier.

She bit her lip slightly, increasing the impact force.

Due to her force, the barrier faintly showed some cracks.

Selena felt a moment of delight inside, intending to break through the barrier in one go, when suddenly she sensed an extremely familiar aura.

Startled, she reacted too late and received a backlash from the barrier.

Immediately, she felt a turmoil within her stomach.

Instinctively, she withdrew her hand, and to the astonishment 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 something was wrong with Selena, immediately followed her.

But by the time he reached the restroom door, Selena had already thrown up.

Sterling’s expression instantly grew solemn.
