For now, there were more pressing matters to address–like helping Stephan detoxify and curing his blindness

She didn’t have much time left.

Felicia thought grimly about the venomous creature planted inside her. The parasite had fused with her very bones and blood, making it impossible to remove. Each chime of the bronze bell awakened the parasite, and with every instance of control, its grip over her would last longer.

Eventually, she would lose her mind entirely and become a puppet under someone else’s control.

She would rather die than let that happen..

But before that, she needed to cure Stephan’s eyes first. Atter that, she would unearth the person who had plotted against her and was attempting to manipulate her. Even if it meant mutual destruction, she would make sure to take that bastard down.

After finding Felicia’s villa empty, Sebastian came to the clinic. A quick inquiry at the entrance confirmed that Felicia had indeed returned from the rainforest and was currently inside.

He hurried in, visibly anxious as he called out, “Licia, where are you? I need to talk to you!”

In the past,

Sebastian wouldn’t have gotten past the front door of the clinic because Kerry would’ve unceremoniously chased him out with a broom.

But now, Kerry was away on an errand to deliver medicine to Seldvale, and everyone else was preoccupied. Sebastian strolled unimpeded into the clinic, shouting Felicia’s name as he went.

Felicia had no intention of confronting him. Instead, she glanced at Scarlet, who immediately understood and stepped out.

“Just throw him out,” Felicia instructed. “But don’t hit him too hard. We don’t want to tarnish

“Got it!”

At the consultation room entrance, Sebastian was about to push open the third door when he felt a tap on his shoulder.”

“Fel…” He spun around, thinking it was Felicia, but before he could finish saying her name, a fish slammed into his nose.

Sebastian groaned in pain as warmth surged from his nostrils. Blood gushed instantly.

Scarlet, uninterested in conversation, threw another punch. This time, Sebastian was prepared and narrowly dodged. The two quickly engaged in a

Sebastian had some training It was common practice for wealthy families to train their heirs to have some skills in self–defense.

However, his skills were no match for Scarlet, a battle hardened mercenary who lived life on the edge.

In no time, Sebastian took a beating. His handsome face bore two bruises, his mouth was bleeding, and he looked utterly disheveled.
