Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 427

The night was dark, and the evening breeze was cooling.

Felicia’s hand froze awkwardly in mid–air after being rejected, making her look particularly foolish.

Normally, Felicia would never humiliate herself by clinging to someone, much less insist on tending to someone’s wound. However, this time was different as Stephan had genuinely saved her life.

After all, he got injured because of her. Hence, she couldn’t just ignore it as that would weigh too heavily on her conscience.

Felicta quickly calmed down and reached out again. Her voice softened, carrying a hint of appeasement. “Mr. Russell, can you at least let me stop the bleeding? Otherwise, I won’t be able to live with mysell.

After hearing what Felicia said, Stephan turned his head to look at her.

In the dark, Felicia couldn’t make out Stephan’s expression, not even his silhouette. His deep and dark eyes churned with intense, unreadable emotions.

Felicia’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt an invincible pressure bearing down on her. She didn’t dare to contemplate what lay behind his gaze, nor did she want to.

Stephan let out a chuckle, his thin lips carving into a smile as he mocked, “Felicia, do you even have a heart?”

Felicia was at a loss for words. She instinctively wanted to retort but remembered the day when she had left with Maurice.

Stephan had driven after them, wanting to bring her back, only to end up in

Felicia couldn’t argue and didn’t have the strength to defend herself. Her hand, which she had started to withdraw, was suddenly caught by his firm grip.

For a second, Felicia froze. By the time she came back to her senses, the light in the back seat had turned on and Stephan had already let go of her hand. Only a trace of residual warmth was left on her wrist

This man could change his mind in just an instant.

Felicia secretly complained but still acted quickly. In a few deft moves, she tore open Stephan’s shim. The sight of the gruesome wound on his back silenced her complaints.

There was a gash on his back, inflicted by a sharp weapon

Felicia remembered when Stephan caught her as she fell and colled to the side. There must have been something on the ground, and Stephan had no choice but to take the hot to protect her from getting injured.

That was why she was left inscathed..

The car had a small emergency kit. Opening it, Felicia swiftly and saltully disinfected the injury to stop the bleeding. Then, she applied medicine and bandaged Stephan. Even so, the ganze quickly turned red with blood.

Lowering her gaze, Felicia remembered how her parents had often scolded her, calling g her a jinx who brought bad luck to anyone near her. Now, it seemed they might have beenright.

At least since meeting Staphan, she had caused him to be injured multiple times.

Stephan stared at the top of her head and felt an unsetting frustration surge in his chest when she stayed silent. Her emotions were unreadable. With a tense expression, he asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Who are you thinking about? Is it Maurice?”

Damn it. What was so good about Maurice?

Felicia looked up in confusion. “What? What did you say?”

“Nothing.” Stephan’s tone turned even colder, just then, the car arrived back in the city, and he instructed the driver to stop and let Felicia out of the car. Felicia got out decisively, not lingering for even a moment,

Then, the black luxury car slowly pulled away, and Felicia’s figure grew smaller and smaller in the distance.

Meanwhile, Stephan’s eyes remained focused on the rear–view mirror as if trying to drill a hole through it.

Feeling the weight of the tension, the driver cleared his throat and said nervously, “Mr. Russell, it’s so late now. I don’t think we should leave Ms. Fuller on the side of the road.”
