Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 324

Felicia was missing, her whereabouts completely unknown.

While others might afford to take their time, there was no way Felicia could afford to wait. And Stephan? He could hardly stand still. If he could, he would fly straight to Khogend without delay. Every second felt like a wasted eternity. "Take care of Imogen," Stephan barked over his shoulder before striding out the door.

His command was met with a unified, disciplined response from the maids, bodyguards, and everyone else within earshot.

"Yes, Mr. Russell!" they echoed in sync.

Watching Stephan leave in such a hurry, Johanna sighed quietly as she approached Imogen, ready to soothe her disappointment. "Imogen..."

Before she could say anything more, Imogen's face suddenly contorted in pain. Her hand flew to her stomach, and beads of sweat broke out across her forehead.

"It hurts... It hurts so much..." Imogen gasped, doubling over. Her voice was weak, trembling.

"Imogen!" Johanna cried.

"Ms. Russell!" one of the household staff yelled.

Then, someone's voice rang out in alarm, "Blood! She's bleeding!"

All eyes turned toward Imogen's skirt, where a crimson stain had begun to spread.
