Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 776: Felicity Dalton Awakens

Meanwhile, Sterling Norwood came in, looking anxiously towards Selena Kensington.

His voice carried deep concern, "Is everything alright?!"

Just outside, Sterling had seen the entire room engulfed in golden light, with Selena and Felicity Dalton’s figures surrounded by it, gradually becoming blurred, so he couldn’t clearly see what had happened in the room just now.

However, as the golden light faded, Sterling saw Selena suddenly reach out her hand as if trying to grab onto something.

Even with her eyes closed, Sterling could sense her urgency and shock at that moment.

Without thinking, Sterling had rushed in.

Selena was still in a stunned state, not yet fully recovered.

She took a few seconds to compose herself, then turned her head to look at Sterling, who was worriedly standing beside her, and shook her head slightly, "I’m fine, just not quite recovered yet."

After speaking, she glanced at the unconscious Felicity Dalton, "The thing controlling her, I think I managed to break it."

She didn’t specify what the ’remote’ thing was.

Because Selena always had a feeling that the rosemary...

Held some special significance for Vincent Sinclair, or perhaps for Esther Jennings.

It was evident that Selena had a bit of personal interest in matters involving Esther Jennings.

Sterling examined Selena closely, finding no signs of injury on her and her breathing steady, and thus he slightly let out a sigh of relief.

He took Selena’s hand, naturally pulling her closer, then looked at Felicity Dalton on the chair, "She should wake up soon, do you want to wait?"

Selena responded, "Yes. If Quinn can return to normal, then Hugh won’t be so sad."

"I’ll stay with you."

Sterling immediately said.

Selena glanced at him and smiled, "Alright."

And just as Sterling had said, Felicity Dalton didn’t stay unconscious for long. After two or three minutes of waiting, signs of awakening appeared.

Selena brightened up, delighted to see Felicity Dalton waking up.

In a void of darkness, Felicity felt a light creeping in. She didn’t immediately open her eyes but squinted, adapting to the brightness outside.

She could feel her body was stiff, as if it had been used by someone else before.

Forehead, back, she sensed a bit of sweat.

As if she had been struggling violently earlier.

Felicity Dalton found her memories a bit fuzzy, but after a moment, she started to recall some of it.

Felicity raised her head, looking at Selena and Sterling standing in front of her.

Her voice was somewhat hoarse, "Sister..."

When Selena heard this, she knew that Felicity had come back to herself.

So she looked up at the surveillance and said, "Remove the restraints from her."

A few seconds later, the things binding Felicity’s hands and feet were completely removed.

Now, Felicity had little strength, leaning on the chair, still slightly gasping.

Selena came over, looking at Felicity with concern, "Do you remember what happened before?"

Felicity was silent for a few seconds and then nodded.

"I remember some of it."

She didn’t claim to remember everything, as she could indeed only recall some vague fragments.

For example, her true identity, her origins, and what she had been doing during this time...

Thinking about why she came into this world, Felicity felt a wave of sadness.

But recalling carefully, these things actually started from childhood.

As a child, Felicity was not as calm and composed as now.

When she was young, she would act spoiled with her brother, and even laugh out loud.

But unknowingly, the Dalton Family began correcting her behavioral habits, forcing her to become ’another person.’

As a child, Felicity didn’t think much about it; she merely thought it was what she, as the only daughter of the Dalton Family, ought to do. She was to become a real socialite, and thus, these were merely experiences she had to go through.

Young Felicity always thought this way, so under the Dalton Family’s corrections, she increasingly lived as the ’Felicity Dalton.’

When she grew up, she and the former Felicity Dalton seemed almost as if carved from the same mold.

When did Felicity notice something was amiss?

Perhaps it was when she first had her own thoughts and opinions. It was after discovering Hugh Kensington and becoming his fan that she, for the first time, wanted to join the entertainment industry and get closer to him.

This was her intense and thrilling yearning, the only thing she ever did that defied her ’image’ at the time.

Felicity had forgotten what expression the old Dalton patriarch wore then.

Was it anger, astonishment... or perhaps both?

But all Felicity was certain of was that the only true self she could show was in front of Hugh.

That’s why she liked to be with him, sharing her life with him.

And only in Hugh’s presence could she feel that she was being truly herself.

Not a stand-in for someone else.

Seeing Felicity’s current state, Selena could somewhat understand her inner thoughts.

She sighed slightly and didn’t continue to ask, "Let me get someone to take you down for a rest. We’ll talk after you’ve rested."

"Hmm..."

Felicity responded dully, then seemed to remember something, urgently looking up, "What about Hugh...?"

What she worried most about now was how Hugh would react to her change.

Would he... be disappointed with her?

After all, her other identity did indeed stand in direct opposition to his.

Selena could instantly see the anxiety and hope in Felicity’s eyes, and she smiled.

"Don’t worry, Hugh has been calmed down by me. He is... waiting for you back at the Kensington Family, no matter who you are, you are Felicity Dalton to him."

Upon hearing Selena’s words, the weight on Felicity’s heart lifted.

She breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a grateful smile, "Thank you, sister."

She knew that if Selena hadn’t mediated, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

She still vaguely remembered some things, aware that recovering wouldn’t be easy.

And Selena managed it.

Felicity did not know if Selena possessed some unusual abilities or an identity unknown to her.

But that Selena was able to save her was enough for Felicity to be grateful.

Afterward, Selena didn’t continue talking with Felicity.

She called someone in to take Felicity to a lounge.
