Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 325

Maurice maintained his usual composed demeanor, exuding that scholarly, polite air as he replied, "Of course."

Felicia's lips curled into a bright smile. "Thank you in advance, Mr. Glovers."

The atmosphere remained pleasant, at least on the surface.

Just as Felicia was about to leave, a small group appeared on the path ahead. Leading them was an elderly woman with a kind face, supported on either side by maids. Her steps were hurried as she made her way toward the hot spring.

The men carrying Felicia's medical kit immediately greeted, "Mrs. Glovers Senior."

Felicia raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Kelsey, upon reaching Maurice and seeing him standing, broke into a beaming smile. Her joy was palpable, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! My grandson is standing again!"

She clasped her hands together and murmured "Praise be!" several times before speaking again.

"This is the best news I've heard in years! But you, child, how could you keep such a thing from me? I only heard about it through the maids!"

Maurice's lips curved slightly, but his eyes showed no warmth. "You've been so focused on your prayers; I didn't want to disturb you."

"No way!" Kelsey wiped at the tears forming in her eyes. "How could this be a disturbance? I've been praying every day for your legs to heal, and now, they finally have! It's nothing short of a miracle!"

Her voice cracked with joy as she spoke, her delight evident.

But Maurice's response was distant, his tone lukewarm. His eyes carried a faint trace of mockery buried deep within their calm surface.

Felicia blinked, catching the subtle tension between them.

Still, she had no interest in getting involved in family affairs, especially not those that looked as murky as the Glovers family. Staying out of it was her best bet.

She was about to slip away when Maurice, ever the tactician, brought the conversation back to her.

"It's all thanks to this miracle doctor," he said smoothly. "She's the one who healed my legs."
