Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 666
Return of the Crowned Heiress
Imogen musted Felicia more than anyone else.
Felicia was slightly surprised by this, but there wasnât time to dwell on it. At the rate Caleb was crying, the little one could go into shock if this continued.
Felicia carefully checked Calebâs pulse. He was tiny, soft, and chubby, which made it difficult for most people to get an accurate reading. But for Felicia, it wasnât a problem.
Still, as she felt the pulse, her expression fraze for a moment. She immediately checked it again to make sure she wasnât mistaken.
âHow is it?â Imogenâs voice trembled slightly, betraying her growing anxiety as each second ticked by
Feliciaâs heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Stephan, who had been standing by her side the whole time. When Johanna appeared, it was Stephan who had signaled the guards to apprehend her
Feeling Feliciaâs pane, Stephan gently squeezed her hand and reassured her, âItâs alright, Say whatever you need to say â
Felicia didnât hesitate. âIt my diagnosis is correct, Caleb has been implanted with a venomous creature.â
âWhat?â Imogen almost passed out, stumbling backward. It was with the help of nearby staff and
âAre you sure?â Imogenâs face was pale as she steadied herself. She carried Caleb in one hand and grabbed Felicia with the other. âAre you absolutely certain?â
Felicia shook her head lightly. She had deliberately phrased it with some room for doubt, but in truth, she was certain. She only softened her words so that Imogen wouldnât be completely overwhelmed by the news
To Feliciaâs surprise, Imogen displayed a strength she hadnât anticipated. After just a few deep breaths mogen had regained her composure, her motherly instinct overriding her
âIs there a way to fix it? Can it be resolved?â Imogen asked.
Felicia hesitated
The venomous creature in Calebâs body seemed identical to the one affecting her. There was no cure
Her silence spoke volumes.
Imogenâs arms trembled as she held her baby tighter.
What kind of person would do such a thing to a newborn baby?
Stephan placed a reassuring hand on Feliciaâs shoulder, his touch steady and calming. Then, he turned to Imogen, whose eyes were red with unshed tears. He said
Felicia, still deep in thought, suddenly remembered the mirror Johanna had left behindâthe one with the bloodâwritten name. Something about it didnât sit right.
So, she asked, âImogen, has anyone else had contact with Caleb?â
âOnly those in the residenceâatewhousekeepers and the nannies who take care of him. Thereâs also.â Imogenâs voice trailed off as her eyes widened with realization. Through gritted teeth, she spat, âArchie and Johanna!â
Even with Johannaâs sudden appearance and the ominous message she had left, none of them had immediately c
connected Calebâs condition to her and Archie
The two of them were in this together. If Johanna had targeted Caleb, then Archie should have known. Even a beast wouldnât harm its own offspring yet Archie didnât stop Johanna from doing this to his son!
If it wasnât Johanna but Archie himself who had done this, then his depravity was truly beyond imagination.
Imogen trembled with fury, her entire body shaking. âThose scumbags! Both of them! I shouldnât have let that bastard die so easily. I shouldâve made him suffer before killing
she thought back to the time after Archieâs âaccident when she had shed so many tears i now, it made her sick.
Her genuine love and devotion toward him was a complete waste!
How laughable and foolish she had been.
for him, praying daily for a miracle to bring her beloved back safely. Looking back at it
Felicia frowned in thought Johannaâs sudden appearanceârisking capture by the Russell familyâs guards just to provoke themâhad to have a deeper motive. Was she using Caleb as leverage?
