Chapter 717
Marke’s mouth visibly twitched
The way his subordinate phrased it would make an outsider think that there was something between him and that woman.
Annoyed, he shot a glare at his subordmate before instinctively turning to Felicia, halt expecting her to overthink or misunderstand,
However, he was very wTONE
Felicia completely unbothered, simply put away the small container and casually continued searching for more venomous creatures. She asked offhandedly, “You know her? Who
she?
The subordinate instinctively glanced at Maurice first before carefully answering, “She looks a lot like a former actress… The one who made up some elaborate lies to try and get close to Mr. Glovers. In the end, he threw her into a crocodile pit, and she was disfigured. After that, she disappeared. We never expected to run into her here…”
Felicia wasn’t the least bit surprised. After all, she had been thrown into Maurice’s crocodile pit before too. It she hadn’t reacted quickly enough, she wouldn’t be standing here
Felicia scotted, then turned to Maurice with a look that was both amused and mocking. He held her gaze until he shifted uncomfortably and looked away.
Only then did she add sarcastical, “Mr. Glovers, katma really got you, huh?”
Maurice said nothing
His subordinates wisely kept their heads down, exchanging silent looks. Only Felicia would dare say something like that to Maurice. Anyone else would have already learned firsthand what karma actually felt like..
Felicia continued walking deeper into the valley. It was
was hard to sau
to say whether the area was naturally teeming with venomous creatures or if they were just exceptionally lucky.
When Felicia pushed aside a few leaves, she spotted two venomous creatures wriggling nearby
This time, there were no distractions or interruptions, Felicia took out a container and smoothly captured both creatures
The
e entire group let out a collective sigh of relief. The biggest obstacle was finally sched
Felicia wasted no time. She grabbed Maurice and pulled him under the shade of a large tree, then took out her knife to sterilize it. She instructed, “Take off your shirt.” Maunce obeyed without hesitation.
Telicia didn’t even blink before making a precise incision on his arm. Then, carefully, she placed one of the venomous creatures directly onto the wound.
The creature, porously dormant, instantly reacted to the scent of fresh blood, waking up and beginning to feed.
At the same time, a visible reaction courred in Maurice’s body. The veins near his neck tensed, bulging against his skin. Felicia’s sharp gaze immediately locked onto a tint ripple beneath the skin.
“Hold on,” she instructed.
creature using a new one was excruciating Felicia was worried Maurice wouldn’t be able to endure it.
The process of drawing out the original venomous.cre
When she saw his face turn pale and his body slightly swaying from the pain, she immediately reassured him, “Just a little longer. Stay still. Don’t move.”
Maunce lowered his gaze. From his angle, he could see Felicia’s furrowed brows and the taint tension in her expression
Seemingly losing control, he lifted his hand as it wanting to smooth out the crease between her brows. Right as his hands were in mid–air, Felicia quickly noticed that the venomous creature inside Maurice’s body had sensed its own kind and was coming out
“Now’s the time!” she thought
Felicia arted swiftly, grabbing the emerging venomous creature just before it could retreat. As soon as it was exposed to open air, the dark, writhing creature struggled weakly for a few moments before falling completely still
Felicia let out a sigh of relief, then quickly sealed the venomous creature she used as bait into the container before turning her attention to treating Maurice’s wound
Que of Maurice’s men hesitantly asked, “That’s it? He’s cured?
Felicia finished securing the lundage and nodded. “Yes, it’s done.”
She double checked Maurice’s pulse This time, his vitals had finally stabilized.
Feeling as though a heavy weight had been lifted, she looked up at Mastice but noticed he was still wearing a deep scowl.
Why did he still look so unhappy after the issue was solved?
Felicia couldn’t understand, but she also didn’t care enough to ask After dusting off her hands, she stood up and turned to leave
However, before she could take a step, Mastic grabbed her wiht
“Where are you going To Lind Stephan?”
itis tone was stiff, but his gaze was unwavering. I was locked onto her face he used to let a single expression slip past him.
