Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 434

Stephan alternated between fast and slow, gentle and forceful.

The two went on until they couldn't catch their breath.

Felicia momentarily forgot to breathe until Stephan let go of her. His low, raspy voice carried a hint of playfulness. "The pain relief works well, doctor."

Felicia's face flushed in silence.

That "doctor" was clearly a tease, filled with so much mischief that it was almost infuriating.

Felicia glared at Stephan, then continued to tend to his wound. She applied the Panax pseudo-ginthera before finally bandaging the wound.

While wrapping the gauze around the wound, she had to get close to Stephan. Her fingertips brushed across his firm, muscular chest, and it felt like his body ignited at her touch. His body temperature was getting higher and higher.

With Felicia's medical expertise, she knew that it wasn't fever—it was a different kind of heat.

She had to ignore it.

"Okay, Mr. Russell, you'll be fine if you apply the cream for the next two days. I'm busy, so I'll leave now." Felicia wanted to escape right after saying that.

Suddenly, she felt something gripping her waist. She exclaimed in surprise. The next thing she knew, she was pinned to the wall by Stephan.

"Felicia, you asked for it," Stephan said with a raspy voice. He gazed deeply into Felicia's eyes, his dark pupils reflecting Felicia's angry expression.

Felicia was pissed off.

She glared at him.

"That time when you called me, I was with Imogen, who was at the hospital. The person who picked up was Imogen's fiancé's younger sister. I have nothing to do with her. As for the other things…"

Johanna's background and her reason for following him to Khogend were too complicated to be explained, but Stephan explained it clearly anyway.

Felicia listened to every single explanation. Moments later, she realized that Stephan was explaining himself to her. It seemed he thought she had misunderstood or was jealous. Perhaps it was both.

She froze. It was at this moment she felt a sharp bite on her lips, which made her hiss in pain. She looked at Stephan, who was giving her a teasing smile.

"Felicia, tell me. Who's Maurice?"
