The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 198

After tending to Felix’s wounds and seeing to his poison, Vivienne skillfully reset his broken bones by touch alone.

She then applied a cooling balm to his exposed injuries. It was a blessing in disguise that his wounds were open, saving her the pain of having to make any further incisions

Once she’d finished, Vivienne set about splinting Felix’s limbs, wrapping them securely

Although Vivienne hadn’t given him any pain relief. Felix felt considerably less pain once his bones had been reset

The balm she’d applied to his wounds was soothing and cooling. If he werent immobilized, he’d have believed himself to be well on the road to recovery He couldn’t help but be in awe of the highly revered Specter Healer’s medical prowess

“How long before my injuries are completely healed?” He couldn’t resist asking ligain.

Vivienne gave him a meaningful glance before replying ‘Under normal circumstances, you should be back on your feet in a month”

But these were not normal circumstances

While she’d been setting his bones, she’d surreptitiously planted a tiny needle in his vein.

“Oh, great Specter Healer, can you save my cousin? Arabella, scared from her previous insolence towards Vivienne, asked timidly. Upon hearing that Felix’s injuries could heal in a month, she couldn’t help but think of her paralyzed cousin, Tristan

Arabella’s concern for Tristan wasn’t out of deep affection, but rather because he was obedient to her. He was a loyal servant. It would be a waste if he remained paralyzed.

As long as there was hope, she would try to save him.

Putting on her usual pitiful facade, Arabella tearfully pleaded with Vivienne. “My cousin was hurt defending me from villains and is now confined to his bed All the doctors we’ve consulted have said they can’t help him. You’re his only hope. He’s a good man, yet he suffers so it’s heart–wrenching to see him in such a state Please save him!”

Vivienne looked down at Arabella, finding the situation rather amusing. If Arabella knew that she was one of the villains responsible for Tristan’s current state, her reaction would be priceless

Unfortunately, Vivienne had no plans to reveal her identity just yet.
