“You tell me.” Felicia rolled her eyes at Stephan, only to realize her voice was <b>hoarse </b>from the earlier <b>ordeal</b>.
Stephan got up and poured a ss of water. Supporting Felicia’s <b>back </b>with one hand, he held the ss steady and brought it to her lips. Felicia drank the entire ss in one go, finally regaining someposure.
<b>That </b>felt good.
“Do you want <b>more</b><b>?</b>” Stephan lowered his head, gazing at her with a faint smile. His eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint, looking suggestive.
She had the distinct feeling that it was a double entendre.
Damn him!
Felicia tumed her face away and huffed <b>in </b>annoyance. <b>“</b>That’s enough<b>. </b>More than enough<b>!</b>”
Stephan chuckled, his voice husky and maic, sending a shiver through her. Felicia could even feel his chest vibrating slightly as heughed.
He lowered his head, his voiceced with humor as he whispered in her eat, “You brought this on yourself.
Felicia ground her teeth, wanting to hit him.
Stephan took the opportunity to slide under the covers, his body carrying a fresh, pleasant scent as he inched closer to her. “Then… I’ll let you bite me to vent your anger?
Felicia shot him a look After the craziness earlier, she almost bit his shoulder off. There were teeth marks all over it, and his back was a mess, covered in the scratches she had left behind.
She ground her teeth, but ultimately, she couldn’t bring herself to hurt him further. She asked, “You can see <b>now</b>? That shouldn’t be possible. When I checked your pulse before<b>, </b>you were clearly blind because of poisoning.
At this point, Felicia’s expression became serious, <b>and </b>she suddenly came to a realization, “Was that all an act?”
Her diagnosis couldn’t have been wrong. Stephan’s pulse had indeed shown signs <b>of </b>poisoning that led to blindness. But now, if his eyes had healed, it meant…. he had an antidote.
To put it bluntly, the blindness was faked, the longa was faked, and the im from the two guards at the door that he <b>was </b>poisoned and close to <b>death </b>was certainly a lie!
Without a word, Felicia took hold <b>of </b>his wrist and checked his pulse. Sure enough, it was strong and steady,pletely healthy with no signs of illness
“You deserve an <b>Oscar</b><b>, </b>don’t you?” Felicia chuckled bitterly.
She thought back to all the times she had been worried about him and how she had spent so much time in the storage room at the clinic, trying to figure out an antidote to <b>heal </b>his eyes.
And what was the result?
She <b>had </b>just been overthinking everything!
Felicia was furious, but most of the <b>anger </b><b>had </b>already dissipated after the earlier struggle. Now, looking at him, standing there with his perfect stature, the tension seemed to fade away naturally.
However,
she refused to show it, maintaining a cold expression and not even ncing at him.
As expected, Stephan panicked.
He <b>leaned </b>over her, nudging his head into her neck and kissing her forehead, eyelids, nose, and finally, her lips. He was trying to please her.
“Don’t be mad, my darling. I’m sorry. <b>The </b><ba </b>was real before. The toxins were made by my <b>people</b>, but I didn’t expect to stay in that hospital for so many days, so the toxins did re up then.
“After returning to Seldvale, I took the antidote, and my eyes healed. But I had to keep ying along to draw out the people scheming to the dark I <b>didn’t </b>reply to your messages becausemunications were being monitored, and I didn’t want you to be targeted.”
As he kept <b>kissing </b>her<b>, </b><b>he </b>began to venture lower.
Felicia had been listening intently at first. After <b>all</b>, it was care for Stephan to exin so much in one <b>go</b>.
But <b>gradually</b>, she started to sense something was off. How did his exnation suddenly require wandering hands?
