The amphere inside was heavy. Maurice’s trusted men all looked to be in despair. Two them wie trary–eyed and pacing around anxiously.


    On the bed, Mauricey with his eyes shut, his veins bulging on his forehead and his expression twisting in pain


    Hia men werepletely helpless, so they looked <b>at </b>Felicia as if she were their sador when she first stepped in, their pazes burning with hope.


    Felicia sighed and waved a <b>hand</b>. “Leave the room. I’ll handle this.”


    The men exchanged nces before leaving


    Scarlet nced around. There wasn’t much she could do here. Besides, they were about to set <b>sail</b>, and there was still much to prepare. Maurice’s men had prepared the ship, but things like her clothing and weapons were better handed personally


    “Boss, I’ll <b>park </b>our things and grab a few supplies. Call me if you need anything, okay?” Scarlet hummed.


    “Alright, go ahead. Be careful,” Felicia replied while retrieving her needle kit, preparing to treat Maurice.


    Scarlet slipped away quietly.


    With no more distractions, the suite fell intoplete silence. Every rustle of fabric was amplified in the stillness. Felicia spreadout the needle kit beside her and selected three needles. Just as she was about to begin the acupuncture, the figure on the bed suddenly turned over.


    Their eyes met. For a brief moment, Felicia saw something flicker in Maurice’s eyes. He seemed to have regained some consciousness.


    Back at Mount Farstone, Pate <b>had </b>wanted to prove <b>his </b>sincerity, so he <b>had </b>ordered the cloaked man to suppress the venomous creature. They didn’t dare mess around<b>, </b>and Maurice was given a few days to recover..


    During this time, the venomous creature had been taking its toll on him, but Maurice would gradually regain consciousness and wouldn’t be fully controlled like before. And now, it seemed


    that moment had arrived.


    Felicia paused and asked, “Do you still remember who <b>you </b>are, Mr.Glovers?


    <b>Maurice </b>Minked, then froce. He <b>remained </b>in that position, <b>staring </b>at Felicia intensely as if <b>afraid </b>that she would disappear if he looked away.


    Felicia sighed and ced the needle back in its case. Without warning, she smacked him across the face. “Are you done staring? I’m charging you next time.”


    Maurice lowered his gaze, hiding the glint in his eyes. When he looked at Felicia again, his expression was back to normal<b>, </b>though his voice remained hoarse. “Felicia, did you agree to set sail for me?”


    Felicia was speechless. There was no good way to respond to that.


    After a long silence, Felicia sighed. “Weren’t you under control at the time? But you heard that?”


    “Yes.” Maurice didn’t ask how Felicia had figured out that he had taken her pain upon himself by using the venomous creature. Things had alreadye this far. Her presence here meant


    had pieced everything together.


    Simrly, though he had been controlled at Mount Farstone, he hadn’t lost his hearing and could st Iwandabour Felicia’s <b>deal </b>with Pete.


    She had agreed to set sail to save him. By <b>that </b>logic, she was doing this for him.


    If he were a dog, his tail would be wagging right now<b>. </b>


    I process the things happening around him. He <b>hadn’t </b>been able to respond, but he had
