No one saw Stephan’s actions clearly, and no one expected that Stephan would actually go through with it!


    By the time <b>everyone </b>came to their senses, a sh of silver light streaked through the air. Felicia, standing closest to him, lunged <b>forward </b>to stop him.


    But even so, Stephan’s normally <b>calm </b>and deep eyes were now bloody red. His fair face was sttered with drops of blood, making him appear eerle and demonic like a vengeful demon


    Imogen, unable to see, clearly heard the gasps of those around her and the rushing footsteps the Russell family’s men


    “Mr.


    Russell!”


    “Mr. Russell!TM


    “Where’s the doctor? Hurry,e quickly!”


    The <b>air </b>was filled with chaos.


    Imogen froze, a sense of dread washing over her. Trembling, she grabbed Johanna’s hand and asked in a shaky voice, “What happened?


    Tell me!”


    Johanna, pale with fear, swallowed hard before replying, “1–Imogen, Stephan. He… He used a knife… to cut his own eyes. There’s so much blood.


    “What?” Imogen was dumbstruck


    How had things escted to this? She had only wanted to vent her frustrations and force Stephan to choose between <b>her </b>as his sister


    alicia, an outsider.


    That was all!


    Even if her words had been harsh, he couldn’t and shouldn’t have resorted to such drastic measures to force her hand.


    Imogen began to tremble all over, consumed by <b>pain</b>, <b>anger</b><b>, </b>and regret. The knife pressed against her own neck ttered to the ground. Blindly, she stumbled toward Stephan’s direction, but she tripped and nearly fell. Fortunately, Stanley was quick to catch her.


    She grabbed Stanley’s arm tightly and asked, “How is he? How is Stephan?”


    Stanley nced back at the scene and replied, “Ms. Russell, Mr. Russell took his eyes out for your sake.”


    Imogen broke downpletely, screaming at Stephan, “You fool! What are you doing? What are you trying to prove? Are you trying to <b>drive </b>me to my <b>death</b>?”


    Stephan couldn’t <b>hear </b>her anymore.


    His eyes were closed as he slipped into unconsciousness. Yet beneath his long, darkshes, blood continued to flow.


    The camp’s apanying doctors arrived, but they specialized in attending to Imogen’s needs andcked expertise in this area. Seeing Stephan’s bleeding eyes, they were too frightened to act.


    This… looked like permanent blindness!


    Not all of the Russell family’s men knew of Felicia’s medical skills, and even those who had heard rumors weren’t inclined to trust her


    abilities right away.


    Felicia didn’t care about their doubts. She shouted at those nearby, “Bring water–clean water, now!”


    Andy, quick on his feet, sprinted to the supply area in the camp. To his dismay, all the packaged and bottled purified water had been used up!


    Cursing under his breath, Andy grabbed several water canteens. “Ma’am, these <b>contain </b>disinfected, boiled spring water. I don’t know If it’ll work…”


    It was not like they had any other choice.


    Felicia took the canteens, opened them, and poured the water over Stephan’s <b>eyes </b>and face without hesitation.


    At that moment, Felicia’s expression was so icy and intense that even Stanley, who was usually chatty, didn’t dare interrupt her.


    Andy was stunned. He was worried about Stephan’s eyes but also didn’t dare to stop Felicia’s actions. He <b>scratched </b>his head in


    frustration.


    Gradually, they began to understand what Felicia was doing. She was flushing out Stephan’s eyes!


    Stephan had genuinely tried to destroy his own vision. While Felicia had managed to block most of the force, the knife had been contaminated with sap from the poisonous nts in the rainforest!


    That was why Stephan had fallen unconscious. Even the bleeding from his eyes was a result of the poison.
