Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 338

By the hot spring, Maurice's trusted aide rubbed his nose with a mischievous grin after throwing Abbie out. "Mr. Glovers, are you really just going to let her go without getting even?"

Showing kindness to enemies was never part of Maurice's playbook.

A sly smile played on Maurice's lips, the kind that hinted at schemes brewing beneath the surface. He instinctively tried to brush off the dust on his coat, only to be reminded by the sharp ache in his shoulders that he couldn't use both his arms now.

His smile froze, and his expression darkened.

Caesar had made it clear that torn muscles and broken bones would take at least three months to heal fully. That was yet another debt Maurice mentally added to Felicia's tab.

"Alright, send people to keep an eye on Felicia. She can do whatever she wants, but until the damn venomous creature is removed, ensure Felicia's safety. No exceptions."

"Yes, Mr. Glovers!"

His words hung in the air as though addressed to no one in particular.

"Ms. Fuller," he said softly, his eyes narrowing.

Kelsey had regained consciousness. After a brief check-up, Caesar reassured her that aside from some mild stress, there was nothing to worry about.

But as Caesar packed his tools, she suddenly grabbed his hand. Her frail but firm grip stopped him in his tracks.

"Caesar," she said, her voice low and serious. "You're an esteemed physician. Are you telling me there's no way to deal with the twin venomous creature?"
