The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1669

Felicity was still reeling from the encounter, utterly perplexed as the herbalist made her exit without much ado. She tugged at Dorothy's sleeve, her voice laced with concern, "Ms. Sanchez, she barely said a thing! What about your illness...?"

Felicity's anxiety had roots deeply embedded in the stories her mother had shared with her numerous times about Ms. Sanchez's youth, how she had once been poisoned, leaving her not as robust as others.

"Alright, you two catch up. Your father and I are going out for some fresh air! Langston, Felicity is still under the weather. Take care of her, will you?"

Miles nodded, his gaze lowered, "Yeah, I got it."
