Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1202

No wonder she couldn't wait to leave the moment he opened his eyes.

Did she really hate him that much?

Aunt Jean opened her mouth to keep venting, but Felix squeezed his eyes shut. "Get out," he said, exhaustion heavy in his voice. "I want to be alone."

Aunt Jean quickly pivoted. "Then let Madeline stay and keep you company."

"No." Felix shut it down instantly. "Both of you, get out."

Madeline's eyes welled up with tears. She wanted to plead with him.

She wanted to use her usual tricks.

But before she could utter a single word, Felix let out a low, furious growl. "Get out!"

The heart monitor beside the bed began to beep frantically in response to his spiking heart rate.

The attending nurse rushed in. "The patient needs to rest! Please leave the room immediately! You're interfering with his recovery!"

Her tone left no room for argument.

Madeline and Aunt Jean had no choice but to retreat.

The room plunged back into silence.

Gradually, the rhythmic beeping of the machines steadied.

But his heart remained in turmoil.

It felt like they had truly reached the end of the line.

Some time later, the nurse returned to remove his IV.

Felix, who had been lying with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open. "When I passed out, was I holding a pair of cufflinks?"

"Yes," the nurse replied. "I already handed them over to your wife."

Felix bolted upright. The sudden movement tore at his fresh incision, sending cold sweat down his forehead, but he didn't care.

"But she just said she didn't see them!"

The nurse frowned. "I don't know anything about that. If you don't believe me, I can check the security footage."

There were cameras in the recovery room.

"Please," Felix urged, desperate to know what happened to them.
