Scarlet and Felicia were the only ones at the back of the helicopter.
Felicia’s sudden attack was <b>swift </b>and ferocious. Scarlet was caught off guard and took a hard headbutt that left her ears ringing.
Scarlet had to defend herself. “I was unprepared. That’s the only reason you got the jump on me. Otherwise, with my skills, you wouldn’t have stood a chance–ow.”
She winced as she touched the bruise on her mouth.
Felicia silently thanked her lock. Fortunately, her hands <b>had </b>been tied behind her back. It wouldn’t have been a simple sneak attack if she had been free to grab a knite.
“What happened after that?” she asked.
“Well, I knocked you out, of course” Scarlet shrugged innocently. “Don’t me me, boss. You can’t cut my pay for this.”
Felicia was speechless. So, the pounding headache she woke up with was thanks to <b>Scarlet</b>.
Felicia listened as Scarlet nted her hands on her hips andined, “You said to take you <b>to </b><b>a </b>clinic but didn’t mention which one. It took me some effort to track <b>this </b>ce down.”
“Then I figured you’d wake up soon, but those oldies outside.” She <b>pointed </b>at the hallway. “<b>They </b>checked your pulse <b>again </b>and again and couldn’t figure out why you were unconscious. How useless!”
“How long was I out?” Felicia asked. Based on her experience, she guessed it couldn’t have been more than a day.
But Scarlet’s reply left her stunned. “Three days! You were out for 76 hours!”
“Impossible!” Felicia snatched her phone from the bedside table and checked the date. It <b>had </b><b>indeed </b>been three days since she lost consciousness.
But something didn’t add up. In her fregmented memories, she recalled briefly waking up before cking out again.
Scarlet noticed her confusion and added, “Oh, right. One of those oldies suggested using acupuncture to wake you up. But before they even started, you suddenly woke up. I figured you might go berserk <b>again</b>, so 1… I punched you out. You know, just to be safe.”
Felicia’s eyes widened in shock as Scarlet’s words echoed <b>in </b>her mind. She could have woken up a day earlier if not for that! Instead<b>, </b>she was knocked out <b>cold </b>again the moment she regained consciousness.
No wonder her neck felt sore!
Felicia rolled her eyes. “Be honest. Are you sure you’re not working for <b>one </b>of my enemies?”
Scarlet burst intoughter. She pinched Felicia’s cheek and <b>teased</b>, “You’re adorable. You’ll believe anything I say, won’t you? Haha!”
Felicia groaned <b>and </b>decided to ignore her.
Just then, Kerry peeked into the room. <b>He </b>squealed in excitement and leaped into the room with such force that the curtain fluttered in his wake.
“Boss! You’re finally awake! I was scared to death! Caesar and the others had no idea what to do. They said the only option was to wait for you to wake up. And they even warned us that the worst–case scenario was you never waking up… Thank goodness you’re okay!” Kerry jumped in glee.
Felicia offered him a smile. “I’m fine now. But I’m starving. Could you get me something to eat?”
“Of course, boss! I’ll go right now!” Kerry’s eyes sparkled as he dashed out the door.
Before long, he returned with a steaming bowl of stew from the shop next door, a ce Felicia had frequented before. It was rich and delicious. Felicia finally felt better after eating it.
She instructed Kerry, “Get me the medicine kat. And bring me a small knife.”
“Right away, boss!” Kerry nodded.
