Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 274

In the Union Clinic, Lewis lay back on the same bed he had been brought to earlier.

His condition had improved. Aside from a slight slur in his speech, he didn't look anything like someone who had just been at death's door.

After learning that Felicia saved him, he said, "Ms. Fuller, you're truly a miracle healer. To show my gratitude, I'll make sure the consultation fee this time is—"

"Don't be so quick to celebrate," Felicia interrupted, glancing at Olivia before she spoke again. "The reason Mr. Adler suddenly lost consciousness, convulsed, and bit his tongue wasn't due to illness. Someone placed a venomous creature inside him."

A venomous creature? Lewis and Olivia stared at her in shock. They thought, "Can something so unbelievable be real? Is she lying?"

Felicia could tell from their expressions that they were skeptical.

"Let me show you then. Hold out your arm," she said.

Lewis immediately stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeve.

She picked up a silver needle, pricked his skin, and a small drop of blood appeared. Olivia leaned in for a closer look—and saw something wriggling beneath his pale skin.

"Ah!" Olivia gasped. "There's a bug in there!"

Felicia's eyes glinted. "That's the venomous creature. And not just any venomous creature—it's a rare twin venomous creature."

Trembling, Lewis stammered, "Dr. Fuller, you have to help me get this... this twin whatever-it's-called out! What if it starts eating my flesh or drinking my blood? What if it gets into my stomach?"

No sooner had he spoken than the bug slithered toward the drop of blood, and with a quick sip, it was gone.

Olivia clasped her hands over her mouth in horror.
