Felix thought he was hearing things. Did Xena really agree to his proposition? He stared at her in shock."Are you sure you know what you're saying? You're Dragonia's goddess of war. Do you even know what kind of position that is?" Felix asked.Xena's facial expression remained unchanged. "I just want to know the truth, that's all. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're a member of Dragon Alliance. You should know that more than I do."Of course, Felix knew that. It didn't mean that Xena would change her attitude about him just because he was a member of Dragon Alliance. At the very most, she just thought slightly better of him now."Alright. Since that's what you said."Felix didn't believe it. He didn't think that Xena would put aside her ego and really sleep with him for the night.After entering the villa, Felix went straight into his bedroom."Xena Summers, there's still a chance for you to leave if you regret this," Felix warned.He didn't know what got into Xena
Chapter 186
"You've got your answers. You can go now," Felix said.But Xena was stubborn as ever. After all, she was the goddess of war. "I said I'd leave at dawn, and I will." Felix could not take it anymore. How was he supposed to sleep with her there? He got up, threw on his clothes, and headed for the door. "You stay and rest then. I'm going to grab something to eat." Xena bolted upright. As Felix's silhouette disappeared beyond the door, she became furious. What was his deal? Did he find her repulsive or something? She was Lady Summers, the first goddess of war in Dragonia, and the fantasy of men everywhere. They had shared a bed, and he just... walked out? Gosh! If word got out, no one would believe it. Felix left Tabiner Bay and wandered the streets. He eventually found himself near the alley where Ted and Sasha had tried to set him up at that fondue restaurant. "I wonder if they're still open." Though he was not hungry, the memory of that fondue tempted him. It was already mid

Just when the old man was about to insert the second needle, he looked up at Felix, who had suddenly spoken. "Listen, kid. Don't you know she's having a stroke? This first needle will only buy her five minutes at most. These five minutes are crucial for treatment. Do you want her to die?" Felix was well aware the woman was having a stroke, but he had his reasons for intervening. But before he could explain, the old man's apprentice exclaimed, "You idiot! If you're not a doctor, shut your trap, and don't interrupt my master when he rescues someone! And if you are one, you should know how high the risk of death from a stroke is. Are you trying to kill her?" This outburst riled up the other customers in the fondue restaurant. Given the age difference, everyone was more inclined to believe the old man was a master healer, whereas Felix was just causing trouble. "Hey, boy, have you been hitting the sauce? How dare you butt in on something this serious?" "Yeah, just watch quietly
Chapter 188
Suddenly, something occurred to the apprentice. His face turned pale as a chill ran down his spine. "But, Master! He… he never even touched that woman. How did he know about the tremors at the neck's acupoint?" The old man smiled wryly. "In traditional medicine, we rely on observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation. Have you forgotten?" "Of course not! You also can diagnose just by looking, Master. That woman's condition was sudden, so you checked her pulse to be sure. But that young man… how old is he? And he could diagnose the neck tremors so precisely, even with the stroke masking it." Shaking his head, the old man sighed. "Ah, Dragonia is full of hidden talents. Who would dare claim to be the best? As far as I know, only four people in the entire country can diagnose neck tremors by sight alone during a stroke." The young man knew who three of those were. They had to be the top three master healers and the miracle doctor, who was almost like a mythical character. "Let

Xena ignored Felix and entered the lobby with Belle. Herbal Haven was where Hector had informed her that Seth would be offering free consultations today. Her presence here was no coincidence. Not only had they come, but they had also brought along a few ordinary people to increase their chances of being chosen. Of course, Xena could not be too obvious about it, or Seth might catch on. "Jack, what's wrong?" Felix asked. He noticed Jack was still standing frozen in place a few steps behind. "Holy crap!" Jack snapped out of his daze. He grabbed Felix's arm as his excitement was beyond words. "Did… did you see that woman? My god! I didn't know such beauty existed in this world! Just one look and I feel like she's stolen my soul." Felix knew Jack was talking about Xena. He was not the only one—many in the lobby were stealing glances at her. She was indeed stunning. "Besides her beauty, what else did you notice?" Felix prodded. After some serious thought, Jack replied, "She seems c
Chapter 190
Just then, a young man appeared in the lobby. He held up his phone and said, "I'll now draw ten numbers. Those selected will wait to be called for treatment. The rest can continue to see Dr. Brooke." Felix's expression turned peculiar after he saw the young man. Wasn't this the guy from the fondue shop last night? If that was the case, then the old man who treated that woman must have been Seth, the master healer. No wonder his medical skills were so impressive—Felix had only given a hint, and he immediately understood everything. Glancing at the nervous Jack beside him, Felix hesitated but decided to go over briefly. Having Seth examine his friend would put Jack's mind at ease, and Felix also had another matter to attend to. After the ten numbers were drawn, Jack was disappointed. So was Xena on the other side, slightly shaking her head. "What? None of us got picked?" Belle was stunned. Their luck was terrible. Neither she, Xena, nor any of the people they had brought along
Chapter 191
Xena was stunned. She had not been selected, so why was Seth requesting to see her? It did not make sense. "Thank you, we'll be right there!" Belle quickly responded before turning to Xena. "Milady, it's strange, but why question it? Your grandfather's life is at stake." Xena agreed. This was not the time to overthink things. As they were about to enter, Felix walked out of the room. Despite passing each other, he did not say a word. "Did he get picked? Talk about dumb luck," Belle muttered. Xena did not dwell on it and went inside. "Hello, Dr. Fingle," Xena greeted.Seth remained seated as he said with a smile, "No need for formalities, Lady Summers. I've heard about your grandfather. I wanted to let you know that after I treat these ten patients, I'll come to your home." Though overjoyed, Xena could not help but ask, "If I may ask, Dr. Fingle, why are you willing to see my grandfather?" A flicker of confusion crossed Seth's face. But, given he was experienced at his job
Chapter 192
"Are you saying he shouldn't have asked Dr. Fingle to see my grandfather?" Xena questioned.Frightened, Belle quickly waved her hands. "No, no! Milady, you know that's not what I meant." "Sometimes it's better to say less. Regardless of everything else, Felix did a good thing this time," Xena chided.The more Xena spoke, the more uncomfortable Belle felt. "Milady, Felix must have ulterior motives. He's going to such lengths to save Mr. Summers Senior because of that prenuptial agreement. When he wakes up, you'll surely do whatever he says." Even Xena was at a loss for words, especially since Belle's reasoning seemed sound. "It doesn't matter now. I just hope Grandpa will be alright. We'll deal with the rest later." Xena's response had actually shown her changing attitude toward Felix. She was no longer as aggressive and unyielding as before, though she had not realized it herself. …At two o'clock in the afternoon, in Xena's home, Seth slowly stood up. "Since you've already
