Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 477

Imogen was just about to say that she didn't need such a method and wouldn't want anyone to sacrifice for her.

But before she could speak, she heard Felicia laugh and say, "Some promises shouldn't be made so lightly. If you can't truly offer something but still insist on making a vow, what's the point? To make others feel indebted to you?"

"I didn't mean it that way!" Johanna was flustered. She tried to argue back but found herself at a loss.

It was all Felicia's fault for being so sharp and brutally direct!

"Alright, it's fine. Even if such a method exists, I wouldn't agree to it," Imogen said soothingly, casting a gentle glance at Johanna before turning to Felicia with a smile. "Miracle healer, please don't scare her."

Felicia's expression remained unchanged. "I'm not scaring anyone. I just can't stand hearing things like that."

It wasn't personal. It was an equal disdain she had for all hypocritical words and actions.

Imogen chuckled, shaking her head. "You're both like children."

Perhaps it was her age that made her see them as kids, or maybe it was her blindness that kept her from sensing the hidden ruthlessness in Johanna and the subtle tension in the air.

Johanna seized the opportunity for an out and said in a sweet voice, "Imogen, put your hand up and let the doctor check your pulse."

Imogen had harbored some hope, but upon realizing that the so-called miracle healer was merely a young girl, her expectations plummeted.

However, not wanting to disappoint Johanna's efforts, she eventually placed her hand on the wrist pillow.

Felicia placed her fingers on Imogen's wrist and quickly released them.

"How is it? Can she be treated?" Johanna was the first to ask, her tone filled with eager concern.

Imogen, however, remained calm and indifferent as if she had already anticipated the answer.

Felicia casually tossed the wrist pillow back into her medical kit and said lightly, "Ms. Russell, if I'm not mistaken, your blindness is due to external poisoning. Someone introduced a toxin to your eyes."

"You can." Felicia nodded. "I'll search for a few special herbs to detoxify your eyes. However, since you've been blind for years and the toxins have deeply settled, even after detoxification, your vision will only recover to about 80% of what it was."

80% recovery would essentially leave her with just a slight nearsightedness, which wouldn't affect her quality of life significantly.

Imogen nodded vigorously, then suddenly grasped Felicia's hand, urgently asking, "Will the poison in my eyes affect my baby?"

"No, it won't. Don't worry."

Felicia's confident answer inexplicably reassured her.

Imogen immediately relaxed, her tense muscles easing as she expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, miracle healer! Thank you so much!"

Felicia subtly withdrew her hand and replied in her usual calm tone, "Once the herbs are collected, I'll prepare the detoxifying medicine for you. Alright, I'll take my leave now."
