Felicia's sudden attack was swift 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.

"What happened after that?" she asked.
"Well, I knocked you out, of course" Scarlet shrugged innocently. "Don't blme, boss. You can't cut my pay for this." Felicia was speechless. So, the pounding headache she woke up with was thanks to Scarlet.
Felicia listened as Scarlet planted her hands on her hips and complained, "You said to take you to a clinic but didn't mention which one. It tookseffort to track this place down." "Then I figured you'd wake up soon, but those oldies outside." She pointed at the hallway. "They checked your pulse again 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 had indeed been three days since she lost consciousness.
But something didn't add up. In her fregmented memories, she recalled briefly waking up before blacking 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 again, so 1... I punched you out. You know, just to be safe." Felicia's eyes widened in shock as Scarlet's words echoed in her mind. She could have woken up a day earlier if not for that! Instead, she was knocked out cold 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 one of my enemies?" Scarlet burst into laughter. She pinched Felicia's cheek and teased, "You're adorable. You'll believe anything I say, won't you? Haha!" Felicia groaned and decided to ignore her.

"Of course, boss! I'll go right now!" Kerry's eyes sparkled as he dashed e out the door.
Before long, he returned with a steaming bowl of stew from the shop next door, a place Felicia had O frequented before. It was rich and delicious. Felicia finally felt better after eating it. She instructed Kerry, "Getthe medicine kat. And bringa small knife." "Right away, boss!" Kerry nodded.
