"Mr. Zeller, she can't die! Hurry up and do something!" the Warlord of Thunder shouted.

At this moment, no one cared about anything else. The Warlord of Thunder immediately became anxious. If Candace died, the whereabouts, of Skybound Revenant would never be known again.

Even if they searched sect by sect, there would be too many unexpected situations that could occur. Moreover, who could guarantee that what Candace said about the sect was the truth? What if she had held something back? Felix shook his head in response.

"The impact of the martial energy on her body is currently taking its toll. Any external interference will only worsen the damage instead of promoting healing."

After a few minutes, Candace's body stopped convulsing, and there was no more blood coming from her nose and mouth.

"Is she okay now?"

Xena also turned to Felix, knowing how skilled he was in medicine.

"It stopped, but she's gotten even weaker. When I first saw her, I thought she had about a week left, but now it looks like she only has three days.

"Please don't try to touch or move her again. After all, it involves the martial energy, and I can't really explain exactly what's going on. If another episode happens, she won't make it

With swift determination, the Warlord of Thunder pulled out his phone and dialed headquarters.

Once off the call, he turned to Felix, stating, "The headquarters will send a team to treat Candace right away."

Then, he directed his attention back to Felix. "Mr. Zeller, it looks like we will need to continue using your premises. I apologize for the inconvenience."

"Don't worry. In the worst-case scenario, the clinic will only be closed for a day. I'm going to head out now, but please make sure to tidy up before you leave."

The Warlord of Thunder was hesitant to speak, afraid that his request might be too bold. He discreetly glanced at Xena. As a person of his rank and stature, he could clearly tell that the relationship between these two was a bit unusual. It was best for Xena to ask, but now she was faced with a dilemma. She secretly hoped that Felix would leave so she wouldn't have to see him anymore. However, if Candace needed

help urgently, only Felix could step in and prevent any disasters from occurring.

"Felix, could you stay here for a bit longer? Until the doctors from headquarters arrive," Xena said.

Felix shook his head in response. "It wouldn't make a difference if I stayed. And if she doesn't recover, I'll bear the blame. If those headquarters you brought up had faith in me, they wouldn't be sending other doctors over needlessly." A flicker of embarrassment appeared on the Warlord of Thunder's face. He pulled out his phone and stepped outside. "I'll take this call outside."

As soon as he was out of sight, Xena could finally relax her guard. "You don't have to put up a front with me! I know who you really are. Are you seriously going to be this obstinate? If you have any terms, just say them."

Felix couldn't help but smile. Her words were what he had been waiting for. He gestured to his face and said, "If you give me a kiss, not only will I stay, but I'll also assist you whenever you ask in the future."

Xena's anger was palpable as she snorted and turned her head away. "You want me to kiss you? That's impossible!" she exclaimed.

Felix took a step toward the door, ready to eave without another word. Seeing that, Xena was angry and stomped her feet with frustration.

""Wait!"

She knew deep down that she wasn't ready to let Felix go. Their feelings hadn't faded during their time apart. It was clear from how upset she got at Melissa's actions earlier. Xena walked over and planted a gentle kiss on Felix's cheek.
