Chapter 703
“Don’t bother guessing. You’ll understand it eventually,” Lionel said as he tapped Lucy’s head.
“But, I’ve never taken care of anyone for free. If you want to be by my side, you’ll have to show me why I should keep you around.”
Lucy’s pupils slightly widened, and she seriously pondered for a moment.
Lionel noticed Lucy’s troubled expression, and he walked ahead with a suppressed smile.
In no time, Lucy caught up, grabbed his arm, and said, “How about teaching me martial arts! I can help you with killing others and be the sharpest tool in your team!”
Lionel was puzzled, wondering why she thought he needed assistance with violence in the first place.
Did she actually believe his earlier comment about being a psychopathic killer?
“Since you know I’m not a good person, aren’t you afraid of me?”
Lucy looked into his eyes, her gaze clear and sincere.
“I only know that you saved me, and you’re the first person in this world who’s been so kind to me. Even if you’re really a bad person, I’m willing to walk down the dark path with you!”
Lionel was stunned; he had never heard such words before.
Come to think of it, she was the first stranger who had actively shown kindness to him.
The two locked eyes, each perceiving the genuine goodwill in the other.
“Eli!”
Sheena’s uncontrollable cry interrupted their moment, drawing their attention forward.
Elliot had suddenly collapsed. Though he held on to the last ounce of strength to carry Sheena to the car, he himself fell by the roadside.
Lionel hurriedly approached, helping Elliot into the car, and they rushed to the lab with Clear.
Yosef analyzed Clear’s components while Noah meticulously examined Elliot’s condition.
Half an hour later, Noah entered the room with the test results.
“Noah, how is he?” Sheena asked anxiously.
“The situation is dire. This trip to Laubabwe was a stretch for him. His body was on the verge of collapse. If we hadn’t retrieved Clear in time, he would have been beyond help within three days.
Sheena and Lionel exchanged a glance, their faces filled with gravity.
Noah handed the test results to Sheena, carefully observing her expression.

“Nana, you don’t look well. Did something happen during this trip?”
Sheena avoided Noah’s gaze, trying to maintain a natural expression as she replied, “It might be the jet lag. But don’t worry, Noah, my health is definitely not an issue.
Nathaniel kept the news of her pregnancy under wraps. Apart from the nobles and royals at the
banquet that day, those from the Froania side were unaware of her pregnancy.
Sheena could not help but wonder if Corey would be furious and punish her if he found out about her getting pregnant before the marriage.
“Noah, I’m really fine. Go check on Yosef and see if he needs any help.”
Noah did not say anything more and left the room.
Yosef was overjoyed with Clear’s analysis and shared it with Sheena and Lionel.
“It’s truly a miracle for Elliot! This medicine is amazing. Bringing this back is not only crucial for treating Elliot but also a significant contribution to the future biochemical experiments in our country!”
Yosef left two milliliters of Clear for further research and administered the rest to Elliot.
Clear could only heal the long–standing virus in Elliot’s body, but it could not address the complications and physical strain brought on by the virus.
