Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 702

The atmosphere inside was heavy. Maurice's trusted men all looked to be in despair. Two of them were teary-eyed and pacing around anxiously.

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

His men were completely helpless, so they looked at Felicia as if she were their savior when she first stepped in, their gazes burning with hope.

Felicia sighed and waved a hand. "Leave the room. I'll handle this."

The men exchanged glances before leaving.

Scarlet glanced around. There wasn't much she could do here. Besides, they were about to set sail, and there was still much to prepare. Maurice's men had prepared the ship, but things like her clothing and weapons were better handled personally.

"Boss, I'll pack 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 into complete silence. Every rustle of fabric was amplified in the stillness. Felicia spread out 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.
