ming that one million dollars fee wasn’t going to be easy. Felicia shook her head and rolled up her eves before walking in.
phan took a step forward and followed her in. One of his subordinates brought a chair over, and he sat wn not far away. He intended to observe the entire process.
licia didn’t mind. She stepped forward and checked the man’s pulse. It was so weak that it was almost nexistent
er a long while, she finally pinpointed the cause of the illness. Aside from the treated external injuries, most severe wounds were internal damage caused by the reverse blood flow in the meridians and d seeping into the body. icla opened the needle case she always carried, and a row of silver needles gleamed under the light.
a swiftly and accurately inserted the first silver needle into an acupuncture point. Her actions were ooth, and the patient was covered in needles from head to toe in the blink of an eye.”
oughout the entire process, no one made a sound to disturb Felicia. She was fully absorbed with a used and serious look on her face.
er administering acupuncture, Felicia prescribed a dose of medicine.
the medicine seeped into the body through the needles, the patient moved slightly and showed a brief :tuation in his vital signs before returning to normal.
s was just the beginning of the acupuncture process.
time elapsed, Felicia removed all the needles after the final step. She rubbed her sore wrist and lounced, “It’s done. He’ll be fine now.”

ter and Myra were supposed to visit the Lawson residence to have a discussion with Matthew. Felicia
agreed to go with them to make sure Matthew would agree to their request.
now it was already 11:00 am, and they had likely met. It would take at least 40 minutes to get to the /son residence from here.
cia dashed to Stephan and said, “Mr. Russell, I’ve treated the man. I have something urgent to attend 30 could you arrange for someone to take me back?”
assumed he could easily assign one of his subordinates to drive her with so many of them around. to her surprise, Stephan lazily got up from the chair. He remained as dignified and composed as ever pite not having slept all night. ne tilted his head slightly, his long, dark eyelashes cast a faint shadow. His gaze lingered on Felicia.”
s go.”
It seemed he was offering to send her back.
Felicia didn’t bother to overthink. She quickly packed her stuff and followed him.
At the Fuller residence, Dexter and Myra were dressed and ready to leave. They noticed Felicia was still not up just as they were about to head out.
After knocking on her door, they found the room empty.
They questioned the maids, but no one had seen Felicia leaving the house.
“Gosh! Didn’t we agree on this last night? Why did she sneak out without saying a word? Does she even want to call off this engagement?” Myra frowned. Dexter glanced at the time. “It’s getting late. We should go.”
There were rules to visiting the Lawsons, and showing up late would be disrespectful and improper.
Kayla had dressed up and chosen her outfit carefully She wore a tailored skirt set and a high ponytail, accentuated by the diamond hairpin Arnold had gifted her.
“Don’t get mad, Mom. She might have just snuck out to have some fun. Plus, this visit to the Lawsons doesn’t really involve her,” she said as she linked arms with Myra. The true purpose of the visit was to finalize Kayla’s engagement with Arnold. Everything else was secondary.
