Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 264

"Grandpa…"

Arnold could not accept it.

He'd spent his entire life living and training as a future heir.

Mike, on the other hand, only spent all his time taking care of his daughter. He did not understand why Mike was now in charge of the family.

Mike gave a sarcastic laugh. "I have no interest in taking over this broken family!"

"You have to!"

Mr. Lawson Senior dropped the bait. "Aren't you looking for Sandra's mother? You'll have all the resources you need if you take over the Lawson family. Wouldn't it be easier to find her then?"

Mike kept quiet.

He must admit that what Mr. Lawson Senior said was quite tempting.

He had no reason to turn the offer down, if only for the sake of his daughter, Sandra.

"Fine. I'll take over the family."

After hearing the answer Mr. Lawson Senior wanted, he nodded in satisfaction and finally could rest peacefully. He closed his eyes, smiling faintly.

The cardiac monitor beside the bed let out a sharp, piercing sound.

Finally, the line on the monitor went flat.

…

Felicia woke up in Stephan's arms on their way back.

Her body was heated and her thoughts were lost in the blaze. She grasped onto Stephan, whose body was cold compared to hers.

Right now, she wanted nothing more but to be cooled.

Her touch drove Stephan insane. He wanted to grab onto her hands but was afraid her bandaged wounds would be torn open.

He was very concerned about Felicia, while she didn't care much.

Stephan's face darkened, and his breathing became ragged.

Stephan's voice was deep, "Don't regret it."

It was one sleepless night for both of them.

…

The next morning, Felicia opened her eyes and stared at the strange yet familiar ceiling. Her memories became clearer bit by bit as she blinked.

First, she had been taken to the Lawson residence, then she had to escape.

And later, Stephan had come to the rescue.

Last but not least… Those wild, entangled memories came flooding back, vivid and lingering.

Felicia turned her body slightly and felt sore.

Just as she was questioning her life choices, she heard a manly voice by her ear.

"You're awake?"
