Maurice could no longer feel Felicia's emotions.
He froze.
Caeser quickly noticed something was wrong and immediately took Maurice's pulse, exclaiming in surprise, "Mr. Glovers, the venomous creature is gone!"
But Maurice showed no signs of joy. Instead, he angrily pushed Caeser's hand away and shouted, "Get out!"
Caeser was startled but used to Maurice's volatile nature. He knew better than to provoke Maurice at this moment, so he quickly retreated.
Maurice stared at his hand, and in his amber eyes, there was a faint sign of losing control.
He didn't understand why.
Under the control of the twin venomous creature, he had often sensed Felicia's emotions—good or bad, happy or angry—and found it amusing at first.
Gradually, he became accustomed to it and even started to look forward to it.
Now, she had severed this connection without mercy, leaving him feeling lost and with a trace of inexplicable anger.
Maurice stood up, a murderous intent surging within him.
He stormed toward the guest room where Felicia was staying.
His hand froze mid-air just before he could knock on the door, yet he didn't bring himself to knock.
The night wind blew, and the wounds on his body ached slightly.
As the redness in his eyes faded, rationality began to return. He slapped himself, then turned and walked away.
Damn it. He was going crazy over a woman!
He must have been out of his mind due to the twin venomous creature's influence. Now that the venomous creature was gone, he believed it wouldn't be long before he would "wake up."
