Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 502

Felicia lost her mood to continue reading.

She stared at the mountain of books, a surge of frustration rising. Forget the research! It didn't matter who was using the bronze bell. If someone was behind it, they would show themselves sooner or later. When that happened, she would know who was scheming against her.

When the thought of giving up crossed her mind, Felicia felt aches all over her body. The exhaustion and sleep deprivation from the past two days finally hit her.

Forget it. It was time to sleep.

Felicia lay on the couch and wrapped herself in a blanket before falling asleep.

The maid moved around quietly, careful not to disturb her. The occasional clinking sounds from the kitchen were accompanied by the aroma of food that wafted through the air. It was a peaceful weekend.

But Felicia had a dream.

In her dream, she saw Stephan standing at the edge of a cliff, bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. She called out to him, and he turned around. Against the light, his handsome face was hidden.

Even though she couldn't see him clearly, Felicia guessed he was smiling teasingly. Those eyes likely held a playful glint, and he might even mock her next, "Are you dreaming about me? And you still say you don't miss me?"

She blushed at the thought. The sheer beauty of the moment stunned her, rooting her in place.

Stephan chuckled and began walking toward her. But with each step he took, a new wound appeared on his body. The injuries were gruesome. By the time he drew nearer, he had left a trail of bloody footprints behind him.

Felicia's eyes widened in shock.

However, Stephan covered her eyes with his hand. His voice was soft by her ear as he whispered, "Don't look."
