Felicia raised her eyebrows slightly. She wasn't surprised. Given Imogen's hostility and resentment, Felicia had anticipated the medicine being discarded. Hearing Kerry confirm this didn't shock her in the least.
“You’ve worked hard, running back and forth. Take a day off and rest,” Felicia said, continuing to sort through the herbs.
She had already withdrawn her hand, but Kerry still didn't dare lift his head. “Ms. Fuller…”
“What’s the matter?”
“Ms. Russell ruined all your effort. She’s so ungrateful,” Kerry said indignantly, his face and neck flushing with anger as he raised his head. The more he thought about it, the more infuriated he became.
Felicia remained unfazed. “She paid the consultation fee—a hefty sum. I honored my promise and delivered the medicine. Whether she uses it or not is her choice.”
Kerry muttered, “So what if she paid? You made that medicine, something others couldn't get even if they begged. And Ms. Russell just tossed it… It’s no wonder she’s blind.”
What a whiny complainer of an assistant she had.
Felicia chuckled, lightly knocking on Kerry’s head. “No talking behind people’s backs.”
“Okay…” Kerry obediently fell silent.
Felicia paused, then asked, “Did you hear any news about Mr. Russell while you were at the Russell residence?”
“Mr. Russell?” Kerry pondered for a moment before nodding. “I did. I heard he’s been poisoned and has been unconscious for several days.”
Felicia froze.
“What? Are you sure you didn’t mishear?”
Her hand unconsciously clenched into fists. After leaving the rainforest, and even at the small hospital, she had checked Stephan's pulse more than once. The toxins causing his blindness were under control. How could he suddenly fall unconscious?
It was no wonder her calls went unanswered and her messages ignored!
A surge of frustration washed over Felicia. Just a few days ago, Stanley had told her Stephan was busy. So, that was a lie.
Stuffing the unsorted herbs into a small box, Felicia double-checked her supplies, then strode out.
Kerry hurried to catch up, asking, “Ms. Fuller, where are you going?”
“I’m heading to Seldvale. I’ll leave the clinic in your hands. Call me if you run into anything you can’t deal with.”
Felicia acted swiftly, leaving as soon as she'd decided. Scarlet followed closely, taking the medicine kit. They hailed a cab and headed straight for the airport.
Kerry stood there, scratching his head, his expression a mix of confusion and sadness.
What Felicia didn’t know was that, less than ten minutes after she left, a black Maybach discreetly followed the cab.
Inside, Maurice smirked coldly and made a phone call.
Felicia had booked her ticket at the last minute. Upon arriving at the airport, she learned the flight to Seldvale was canceled due to mechanical issues.
She was taken aback. Something about the explanation seemed unconvincing.
She tried to reschedule, but the earliest available flight was three days later. What kind of coincidence was this? It felt suspiciously like someone was targeting her.
