Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 590

Stephan stood up. After lying down for an entire day, his body felt stift and uncomfortable. He was about to take a shower and change clothes when he noticed the elderly doctor still standing in place, looking hesitant. It was as if he had something to say

Stephan glanced at him. “Speak. What is it?”

The elderly doctor seized the moment and asked, “Mr. Russell, I’ve done everything you instructed. The temporary blinding toxins… They were well made, weren’t they? They obscure pulse readings perfectly and don’t harm the body!TM

He rubbed his hands together and added, “Now that the toxins have been neutralized and your eyesight is restored, when can we leave?

“Anytime,” Stephan replied, raising an eyebrow. “Once you’re out, claim that my condition is hopeless and that you’ve done all you could. You don’t need me to teach you what to say and what not to say, do you?”

“Of course not, Mr. Russell. Rest assured!”

The elderly doctor chackled nervously before quickly gathering his belongings. Leading his assistants and carrying their equipment, he prepared to leave. Before stepping out the door, he switched to a downtrodden, helpless expression, sighing deeply as if full of regret

The transformation left Stephan momentarily speechless.
