Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 560

Before Felicia could react, she saw something flying from Scarlet's hand. A second later, a scream echoed from the alley.

Felicia quickly headed toward the source of the sound. When she reached the alley, she saw a shadowy figure limping away, disappearing into the far end of the lane.

Scarlet's relaxed demeanor was gone. Her expression hardened, her muscles taut. "Should we go after them?"

Scarlet would give chase if Felicia gave the order. Her skills as a former mercenary made her unmatched in agility and combat.

Felicia turned back toward the clinic. "No need. Let's go back. I know who it is."

It was one of Maurice's men. Ever since Maurice left Khogend, he had stationed people to monitor her.

Normally, these men were well-hidden and rarely revealed themselves. The spy must have seen the car from the Russell family and assumed Stephan had arrived, prompting him to take a risk and show himself. He must have not expected Scarlet to sense him.

Once back at the clinic, Felicia thought over her options before finally giving in and calling Stephan. As expected, he didn't pick up.

She scrolled through her contacts until she found Maurice's number. This time, the call was answered instantly.

Maurice's nonchalant voice came through the line. "Say you miss me, or I'm hanging up."

What was wrong with this guy?

Felicia rolled her eyes. She snapped, "Did you forget to take your meds today? Get your people to—"

Felicia rubbed her throbbing temple before heading into the storeroom.

The rare herbs she had taken from the Russell family were still there. Regardless of the fallout between her and Imogen, Felicia had been paid to do a job. A deal was a deal. She would fulfill her promise to cure Imogen.

Felicia spent two days in the storeroom. When she emerged, her clothes were stained with the scent of herbs. She finally completed the antidote.

She called Kerry over and handed him a small bottle. "Take this to the Russell residence in Seldvale and deliver it to their eldest daughter. Tell her to take it, and her eyesight will be restored within two hours."

"Yes, boss!" Kerry was enthusiastic. He was eager to represent the clinic for such an important task. He straightened up, his posture exuding confidence.

Felicia paid for his travel expenses, including his airfare and taxi fare. When she turned around, Scarlet leaned in and teased, "What about my pay, boss?"
