Return of the Crowned Heiress

Felicia's gaze wandered.

She knew clearly that everything that happened yesterday was not a dream but a real sequence of events. She had even personally undressed Stephan when he was unconscious from his injuries. But he would never know about that.

And it was better that way-if he did, it would be one more trouble she didn't need.

She wisely chose not to press the matter further because he said nothing. Her eyes shifted to the water dispenser in the room, and she swallowed with difficulty.

She was so thirsty.

She regretted not asking the nurse to bring her a cup of warm water earlier.

Just as Felicia hesitated to get up and take the IV bag to the water dispenser, she saw Stephan move. He took a disposable cup with his long, clean hands and filled it with water. What a good person!

She was about to reach out to take the cup but saw him leisurely drink from it himself.

She was speechless.
