Chapter 179

As the warmth and sweetness blended, what had started as a simple intent to silence Felicia with a hint of anger suddenly took on an entirely different meaning. It only took one second to lose control.
Stephan, who prided himself on being calm, had never experienced such a thing. The suppressed and long-hidden thoughts in his heart surged forward like unleashed beasts, tightening their grip, conquering everything in their path. It was like that wild night.
She was utterly stunned, murmuring, “Mm… Wait!”
Her protests were, of course, futile.
It wasn’t until the door to the ward was pushed open by two of his subordinates. “Mr. Russell, we got the new phone, and the SIM card has been replaced. Also, we brought some food…”
Upon seeing the scene inside the room, the two subordinates froze, their words stuck in their throats.
Huh? What was going on?
Stephan turned his head, his voice cold. “Get out!”
The two subordinates snapped out of their daze, quickly leaving the room and closing the door tightly behind them.
Felicia was speechless.
It was precisely because of this interruption that she returned to her senses. She pushed him away with all her strength, her face red as an apple.
As soon as she pushed him, a sharp pain shot through her hand. The IV needle immediately backflowed with blood, and she quickly lowered it to ease the flow.
Thankfully, the IV had finished, and she immediately pressed the call button, glaring at Stephan in frustration.
Stephan wiped his lips, which Felicia’s teeth had cut.
She was ruthless.
She stood warily in the corner, her clothes intact, but she was slightly out of breath from the kiss. Her eyes, though furious, were still glistening with unshed tears, making her look more vulnerable than threatening.
He hadn’t expected his usually unwavering composure to falter so easily in front of her, just like that uncontrollable night.
He had known all along that it was Felicia.
When the nurse entered, she
immediately sensed something was off. Her gaze flickered between them, and even when she removed the IV there was a hint of excitement, as if she was eager to gossip.
Felicia tried to act calm, not letting anyone see her discomfort.
But what she didn’t know was that after the kiss, her lips were slightly red, and Stephan’s lip had been bitten, blood oozing from the wound. The sight of the handsome man’s face now added a hint of danger and
allure.
The nurse collected the IV bag and, once back at her station, would likely share the juicy details with her colleagues.
Felicia pressed the needle mark on her hand, glaring at Stephan warily before quickly slipping out of the room.
She went to the nurse’s station to borrow a phone, but when she dialed it, she realized she couldn’t remember Charles’ number!
She didn’t know anyone else’s number either.
She mostly communicated with Macey, but those calls were always made with a single press of the button, and she had never bothered to memorize the numbers.
So, she changed her approach, asking the nurse if a person named Shawn had been admitted.
“He was brought in either last night or this morning with injuries on his hands. I’m his sister. Can you tell me how he’s doing? Which floor is he on, and which ward?” Felicia got the information she wanted.
Just as she had guessed, Charles
had indeed sent Shawn here, and
.n
after over three hours of emergency treatment, his life was saved. However, one of his hands was completely crippled, and seven of his ribs were broken, with the other injuries less severe.
After hearing the details, she couldn’t help but feel that he deserved it.
The kick from Stephan had directly broken seven of Shawn’s ribs, and it was truly terrifying. She touched her neck and decided to visit Shawn’s room.
It was in the same building, but not on the same floor.
As she followed the signs to the elevator, she caught sight of Stephan approaching from the corner of her eye. Without thinking, she immediately turned and ran!
