Chapter 701
The amphere inside was heavy. Maurice’s trusted men all looked to be in despair. Two them wie trary–eyed and pacing around anxiously.
On the bed, Maurice lay with his eyes shut, his veins bulging on his forehead and his expression twisting in pain
Hia men were completely helpless, so they looked at Felicia as if she were their sador when she first stepped in, their pazes burning with hope.
Felicia sighed and waved a hand . “Leave the room. I’ll handle this.”
The men exchanged glances before leaving
Scarlet glanced around. There wasn’t much she could do here. Besides, they were about to set sail , and there was still much to prepare. Maurice’s men had prepared the ship, but things like her clothing and weapons were better handed personally
“Boss, I’ll park our things and grab a few supplies. Call me if you need anything, okay?” Scarlet hummed.
“Alright, go ahead. Be careful,” Felicia replied while retrieving her needle kit, preparing to treat Maurice.
Scarlet slipped away quietly.
With no more distractions, the suite fell into complete silence. Every rustle of fabric was amplified in the stillness. Felicia spreadout the needle kit beside her and selected three needles. Just as she was about to begin the acupuncture, the figure on the bed suddenly turned over.

Maurice Minked, then froce. He remained

Maurice lowered his gaze, hiding the glint in his eyes. When he looked at Felicia again, his expression was back to normal , though his voice remained hoarse. “Felicia, did you agree to set sail for me?”
Felicia was speechless. There was no good way to respond to that.
After a long silence, Felicia sighed. “Weren’t you under control at the time? But you heard that?”
“Yes.” Maurice didn’t ask how Felicia had figured out that he had taken her pain upon himself by using the venomous creature. Things had already come this far. Her presence here meant
had pieced everything together.
Similarly, though he had been controlled at Mount Farstone, he hadn’t lost his hearing and could st Iwandabour Felicia’s deal with Pete.
She had agreed to set sail to save him. By that logic, she was doing this for him.
