The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 199

Felix’s heart skipped a beat as he realized the implications of his previous words. He had told Vivienne to treat him, not necessarily to heal him.

Vivienne, her hands in her pockets and the smile gone from her face, turned her piercing gaze towards him. “You should be grateful that I owe you a favor. It is the only reason you’re getting off this easy”

With that, she turned to leave

Felix, seething with rage, tried to call out to her but found that he was voiceless He struggled to follow but ended up collapsing to the ground, left to watch helplessly as Vivienne walked away.

Outside the cabin, Vivienne emerged into the darkness where Draven had been waiting. She issued a cold command “Lock the door”

“Understood” Draven obediently responded.

As Vivienne left the farm, she looked up at the night sky, where stars twinkled like scattered diamonds, a sight she couldn’t enjoy in the light–polluted

cities.

“You still love stargazing, huh?”

In the shadow of the trees outside the farm, a black Lincoln was parked. Percival, leaning against its body, was barely visible in the darkness. His eyes shone brighter than the stars as he watched Vivienne.

“And you still love following me?” Vivienne quipped, tilting her head to look at him with a smile.

Percival walked over to hold her hand as they both looked at the sky, pointing to the five stars in the shape of an M above the North Star He asked. “Do you remember?”

“Cassiopeia. Mr. Wolf, you taught me Vivienne replied while looking at the stars. “Quite ironic that the queen only became truly perfect after losing her beauty”

“Vivienne.” He squeezed Vivienne’s hand. I can’t claim to be a perfect man, but I promise to be your perfect lover

Taken aback, Vivienne found herself wondering how they had gone from talking about the stars to him professing his love for her.

Percival, however, didn’t wait for her response. Instead, he gently led her towards the Lincoln, thoughtfully opening the backseat door for her
