Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)

Kayla felt a wave of frustration and thought, "This useless guy can't even handle such a small matter. How dare he pursue me?" Just when Kayla felt at a loss, the doctor, Osbert Cooper, was called in.

Seeing Osbert felt like a lifeline to Kayla. She rushed forward, grabbing Osbert's arm and pushing him toward Felicia.

"Dr. Cooper, please check her injuries. Are they serious or superficial? She wanted nothing more than to expose Felicia's act. Kayla's anxiety was evident to Dexter and Myra, who thought it was a sign of sisterly love and were somewhat relieved.

Of course, Felicia knew Kayla's intentions. She just wanted to reveal her supposed "act".

But the scrapes and cuts on her body did need attention, so she remained seated without moving.

As Osbert examined her wounds, he said, "These aren't too deep, but there's dirt and sand in them. You'll need to endure a bit while I wash them out."

During the cleaning process, Felicia remained silent. Meanwhile, Myra turned away, unable to watch.

Once everything was taken care of, Kayla casually remarked, "Hmm... it doesn't seem like the injuries are too serious."

Myra was about to scold her for being thoughtless when she suddenly recalled Kayla's earlier words suggesting that Felicia might fake an injury to gain attention.

Before she could process it, she suddenly heard Osbert exclaim, "Oh my god, there's a gunshot wound!"

"What?" Myra and Dexter immediately turned to see Felicia's pant leg lifted, revealing a gruesome injury where the bandage had been removed.

Osbert exclaimed, "Fortunately, the bullet was removed. Otherwise, the nearby nerves could have been damaged, and the outcome would have been unimaginable."

After rewrapping Felicia's wounds, Osbert left. Kayla felt a mix of shock and confusion. She wondered how Felicia could have survived a gunshot.

It seemed impossible.

Myra covered her mouth in disbelief. She couldn't imagine the dangers Felicia faced the night before. Meanwhile, she had been busy speculating, having malicious thoughts about her daughter. Myra couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Dexter made a couple more phone calls, urging his team to get to the bottom of the incident.

In the meantime, Myra had the kitchen whip up some food. Felicia was covered in blood. She first went to her room to take a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes before coming down to eat. The maid quickly brought breakfast to the table, which included a chicken soup that Myra had personally prepared for Felicia. "Here, Licla, eat this while it's warm. It will help your wounds heal." Sitting at the table, Felicia felt Myra's attentive care, but there was no warmth in her heart.

Myra always treated her especially well whenever she felt guilty, trying to make up for her perceived shortcomings

However, that kindness instantly disappeared whenever she had a conflict with Kayla,

Felicia stirred the soup in front of her and tilted her head. She asked curiously, "What if we find out who's behind this? What will we do?"

"Of course, we'll make them pay back in kind. No daughter of ours can be bullied like that." Myra and Dexter were in full agreement on this point. Felicia shot a glance at Kayla and asked again, "Really?

"Absolutely," Myra replied with conviction. "Licia, you have to trust us."

Felicia simply shook her head, remaining noncommittal.

Before long, Dexter's phone rang, signaling that the investigation results were in.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
