“You?” Sheena frowned, rejecting the idea. “No way! Princess Kelly publicly announced my wedding date with Nathaniel, and everyone knows about our relationship. I can enter Alzer Palace without any trouble, but it’s different for you. It’s much more dangerous if you go!”
“But what about Nathaniel? I just knocked him out, and he’s trained and in good shape. He’ll probably wake up soon. If you’re not with him, he’ll immediately catch on!”
“But…” Sheena hesitated, worried about his safety.
“Enough with the ‘buts‘. With you helping me handle Nathaniel, I have a better chance of success than you doing this on your on. Trust me, I’ll give it my all, even if it means risking my life, to get Clear!”
“No, you can’t! If you get caught, you’re not allowed to go all out! As long as Clear is still there, even if it doesn’t work out tonight, we can still figure something else out. However, there’s only one you in this world, so you must stay alive!”
Lionel met her gaze, deeply moved by the seriousness in her eyes. He lowered his eyes, teary.
“Thank you. Besides Mr. Jenkins, you’re the kindest person to me.”
At the mention of Elliot, Sheena turned serious, saying, “Although Eli usually teases you, he has always regarded you as family. I believe if it were him, he would also prioritize your safety.”
Lionel lowered his head, wiping his nose with his fingers, holding back the urge to cry.
Sheena comfortingly patted his shoulder and earnestly planned, “Once you get Clear, don’t worry about me. Find a way to return to Froania immediately and bring the medicine back to Svelton!”
Shocked by her decision, Lionel asked, “But what about you? You’ve already been confined, and now you’re pregnant! Nathaniel is insane. Once he loses it, he might harm you!”
“He won’t hurt me. The injury on my neck was just an accident. Nathaniel… will never take my life.”
Lionel remained silent, torn inside.
Sheena did not give him a chance to continue thinking.
“Let’s not waste time. Go now! Be sure to stay safe!”
“Okay!” Lionel gathered his thoughts and crawled out of the window.
After three days of unconsciousness, Elliot finally woke up. He tried to blink but found his eyes covered with bandages. When he touched his head, he discovered it was also wrapped in thick bandages.
“Don’t move!” Howard scolded. “You still have an IV in your hand! Just stay put!”

Elliot lowered his hand, propping himself up to a sitting position. Once he recollected his thoughts, he immediately asked, “How long have I been asleep?”
“Three days. As you didn’t wake up and we couldn’t administer the medicine orally, Noah switched to IV. Does your head hurt?”
Elliot quietly focused and then shook his head. Following up, he asked, “How’s Nana doing?”
Howard fell silent for a moment.
Today, Laubabwe issued international news, and among them was the announcement of the upcoming wedding of Princess Kelly’s adopted son, Charles Lance, and Sheena, scheduled to take place in seven days.
He had already ordered a domestic ban on this news to prevent it from spreading. Otherwise, with Sheena still engaged here, news of another wedding abroad would stir up quite a controversy.
However, explaining this to Elliot… would be a difficult conversation.
“Howard? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Elliot waited for a long time without hearing a response, and his sense of unease deepened. “Has something happened to Nana? I need to leave the hospital! I’m flying to Laubabwe today!“
