RankNovelChapter 326 The disfigured maid left the suite silently with her head bowed as if she was trying to vanish into the shadows. She avoided eye contact, unwilling to let anyone see the ruined features of her face. What woman wouldn't care about her appearance? Felicia could have made a scar-removal ointment to restore the maid's face. But the process would require rare ingredients and time-two things Felicia didn't have to spare.
Her only goal was to get out of the Glovers' place as fast as she could. Helping strangers wasn't exactly her thing.
After finishing her meal, Felicia sprawled on her plush bed, her mind turning to tomorrow's confrontation.
Once she administered the final treatment, Maurice's body would be free of the toxins. From that moment on, he'd walk like any other man and be free from his wheelchair.
But she knew all too well that Maurice wasn't the type to show gratitude. The moment his legs were healed, he'd dispose of her without hesitation and wouldn't let her walk out of Ablil alive.

She rolled lazily onto her side, trying to find a comfortable position for a nap. Her mind replayed tomorrow's potential scenarios, but she remained blissfully unaware of the simmering hatred just outside her suite door.
The disfigured maid slowly lifted her head in the corridor, her scarred face contorting with a venomous glare. Her eyes burned with malice.
It had taken days of careful observation and eavesdropping, but Abbie finally pieced it all together. She now understood why Felicia had been spared his notorious cruelty, unlike anyone else brought into Maurice's grasp. Her medical skills gave her the leverage. Abbie's lips twisted into a bitter smirk. But so what? She knew Maurice's patterns. Once the treatment was done, Felicia's fate was sealed. Maurice would never let her walk away alive.
Abbie would be there to witness it. She'd watch every moment.
The next day, Felicia prepared for the final acupuncture session in the hot spring. Maurice sat in his wheelchair, his loyal men watching intently. Excitement buzzed in the air.
This was it. After today, Maurice would finally walk again, free from his wheelchair forever.
As Felicia began her work, she broke the silence with a question, "Are you feeling nervous, Mr. Glovers?" "Not at all," Maurice replied coolly. He glanced at her, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. "If anyone should be nervous, it's you." The implication hung heavy in the air. If she succeeded, she might earn her freedom. If she failed... Well, the consequences were obvious.
Felicia didn't respond. She smiled faintly and focused on her task.
One by one, the silver needles glinted as they flew from her hands, landing precisely in the critical points of Maurice's body.
Nearby, the white-haired medical practitioner, Caesar, watched with rapt attention. Though he had been assigned to monitor her for any foul play, he couldn't hide his awe Felicia's technique was seamless, fluid, and mesmerizing. Her movements were almost otherworldly. Even someone of his experience couldn't fully grasp how she worked her magic.
Soon, Felicia removed the final needle. She said in a calm and steady tone, "It's done." Maurice gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, his knuckles whitening. "So, I can stand and walk?" "Why don't you give it a try?" Felicia replied, her voice deliberately noncommittal.
Maurice drew a deep breath and slowly pushed himself up.

It had been a long, grueling journey, but at last, the moment he had waited years for had arrived.
Maurice's lips curled into a slow, satisfied smile. He turned to Felicia, his eyes gleaming with triumph, fulfillment, and anticipation. Then, just as Felicia had predicted, the smile disappeared.
And the monster revealed itself.
