She pressed her hands against his chest and shoved him back onto the bed.
“Felix, control yourself! I only agreed to treat your leg! I’m married! We can’t do this!”
Anyone could see what Felix had just tried to do! He’d attempted to force a kiss on her!

A smirk played on Felix’s lips. “So what? You’re married, I’m engaged. Doesn’t that make it more thrilling, doing something so forbidden?”
When Meryl pushed him, she’d hit his injured shoulder. His chest heaved in pain, but he kept that smile plastered on his
face.
Meryl was left speechless by Felix’s twisted logic.
She pulled away from his touch, putting distance between them.
“I’m pregnant. You should get that idea out of your head.”
Felix’s smirk grew wider, his eyes dancing with amusement. “Perfect timing, isn’t it? You’re pregnant, I’m crippled. One wild night together would be quite the adventure, don’t you think?”
Merly bit her tongue.
She wondered what kind of sick thrill he was talking about.

messing with your head.”
Meryl didn’t want to continue this conversation.
She’d done everything she could to help him.

Maybe it was from losing so much blood tonight, but Felix’s complexion wasn’t good. After just a brief chat, exhaustion was written all over his face.
Taking advantage of his unguarded moment, Meryl swiftly pulled out two silver needles and pressed them into his pressure points, instantly making him appear drowsy.
Meryl couldn’t wait to leave.
Still feeling somewhat resentful, she tucked his blanket around him but deliberately pinched his wound area.
“You really thought I was just some pushover who wouldn’t fight back?” she cursed inwardly.
Felix had his eyes half–closed, but Meryl’s sudden move made him hiss in pain.
What surprised Meryl most was that Felix, despite knowing she did it on purpose, actually smiled at her!
Felix’s eyes darkened as he said playfully, “Well, once you fix my leg, we’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other better.
She remained silent.
What nonsense!

Meryl turned to leave, and Felix’s assistant, Philip, showed her
out.
On their way, Meryl gave instructions, “Keep his wound dry,
and make sure he takes the medicinal bath for three consecutive days.”
“Understood, Ms. Stone.”
Philip respectfully escorted her out of Powell Manor, politely saying as she left, “You’re always welcome here, Ms. Stone.”
Meryl had no desire to return to Powell Manor. The mansion felt too large and gloomy.
Especially Felix… something about his frivolous attitude just rubbed her the wrong way.
After healing Felix’s leg, Meryl decided to cut all ties with him.
As she walked away, she failed to notice a figure in the distance watching her intently until she disappeared.
Lydia stared thoughtfully in the direction Meryl had come from.
“Why would Meryl be leaving the youngest Powell brother’s room in the dead of night?
What exactly had they been doing in there?”
“Lydia, what’s caught your attention?” a man standing behind her asked.
The man, with his immaculately groomed hair, appeared to be

It was Christopher Powell, the second son of the Powell family.
Lydia had come to the Powell Manor today to discuss business. Celestial Ventures Group needed a patent owned by Christopher. The detailed negotiations had run later than expected.
She hadn’t expected to catch sight of Meryl on her way out.
Lydia secretly snapped a photo on her phone.
Turning to Christopher with a smile, she said, “Oh nothing. just admiring those beautiful birds of paradise flowers in the Powell Manor garden.”
Once she left the Powell Manor, Lydia immediately forwarded the photo to Dalton.
“Dalton, look at this. Meryl coming out of Felix’s room in the middle of the night. Don’t you think they might be… you know, fooling around?”
