Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 

Felici 

stepped into Harmony Medical Center, feigning ignorance of the prying eyes that seemed to follow her. She strolled into the center with an air of confidence. 

The work was straightforward. In her past life, she had taken the job to earn a little extra cash and to collect discarded herbs for her to practice on her own, but that day, she felt different. 

Just as she set up the small stove, Clive arrived, waving her over. “Come here, Licia. Let’s go make a house call,” 

The way Clive called her “Licia” left the nearby apprentices and the senior physicians following Clive in stunned silence. 

After a brief pause, whispers erupted around the room. “So she’s Mr. Walsh Senior’s granddaughter? The real heiress that the Fuller family just brought back?” 

“Congratulations, Mr. Walsh Senior!” 

“What a coincidence! Felicia has been working part–time here for a year, and we didn’t even know she was your granddaughter!” 

Obediently, Felicia walked over and greeted him, “Hello, Grandpa.” 

Clive only hummed in reply, his stern demeanor softening just slightly. Everyone knew he was a master of medicine, highly respected wherever he went. Yet, he often lamented his lack of an heir. 

His youngest daughter, Myra, had no interest in medicine and rebelled against him, causing a rift between them. Meanwhile, his two sons had proven to be disappointments, lacking any talent. 

Now that Felicia, who showed promise, had arrived, Clive clearly wanted to nurture his granddaughter 

Felicia understood this but also knew that, with her skills, she could teach him a thing or two. 

Throughout the day, she shadowed Clive as he treated patients. He patiently guided her through the traditional methods, allowing her to observe and learn. 

As they finished up the last patient’s chart, Clive asked, “Licia, did you learn anything? It 

questions, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Felicia hesitated. She almost voiced her thoughts about their convoluted methods, but she decided to swallow them instead. 

She had just watched him treat two patients using acupuncture, and while his techniques were undoubtedly masterful, they were overly complicated. 

For problems that required three needles, she knew she could solve them with just one–and achieve better results. 

But she kept that to herself, voicing it would only spark outrage. 

Felicia longed for a chance to demonstrate her skills independently. She hoped to earn her place in Harmony Medical Centre and split the fees for house calls–this would be a lucrative opportunity! 

Little did she know that chance was just around the comer. 

The last house call remained on the list. The address led to an upscale estate in Khogend, where every Inch of land was incredibly valuable. 

After arriving, Felicia surveyed her surroundings and noticed discreet cameras everywhere. There were no bodyguards or other maids in sight, just an elderly butler leading the way 

Once inside, the butler, William Wayne, stated, “Mr. Russell doesn’t meet outsiders. Aside from Mr. Walsh Senior, only one assistant is allowed. The rest can wait on the first floor.” 

After a moment’s thought, Clive decided to bring Felicia with him.
