Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 176

After treating Stephan's wounds, Felicia breathed a breath of relief. Looking up, she noticed he was watching her with a sharp, probing gaze.

She flashed a bright smile. "The wounds are taken care of. Now I can rest easy."

With that, she passed out.

After enduring a full day and night of suffering, falling into cold water, and being tossed around all night, it was no wonder she collapsed from exhaustion.

The moment she fainted, he caught her, feeling her body burn with a fever despite her shaking from the cold.

"Faster, take her to the nearest hospital!" he ordered coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Russell!"

The nearest hospital was in a small county, and it was the first time a helicopter had landed on its helipad. The sight shocked everyone in the hospital, stirring up much speculation about the arrival of some important figure.

"Quick, there's a patient! Get the stretcher!"

...

When Felicia woke up again, she smelled the faint scent of disinfectant. Opening her eyes, she saw a white ceiling and a row of IV bags.

She was in the hospital.

Thinking back, she realized that after she passed out, Stephan wouldn't have just let her die, and the helicopter's quick arrival made it easy to reach the hospital.

She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep...

She tried to move, but she felt sore and weak. She managed to sit up in bed, preparing to get out.

It was a private ward. She could see the full moon through the window, meaning she must have slept through the entire day.

Looking down, she saw that someone had changed her into fresh clothes and placed a new pair of slippers by the bed.

Could Stephan have arranged this?
