Elliot’s body was too weakened and could not withstand the potent medicine. Hence, Yourd divided the dosage into three injections.
Noah was also busy. During the time that Elliot was unconscious, he worked on IV medications address other issues in Elliot’s body.
This time, Elliot had slept for a long time, and all aspects of his body were in the recovery phase.
Three days after the Clear injections, Sheena took him back to E&S Haven.
At that time, Noah, Howard, Lionel, Lucy, and Phoebe were all present, gathered in the living room, chatting away.
Phoebe shared her family background with Sheena, informing her that the Nicholls family would host a banquet to celebrate her return in seven days, and she would officially change her name to Phoebe Nicholls.
Sheena was genuinely happy for her. This trip back seemed to bring positive developments to everything around her.
She glanced at everyone–Elliot and her, Howard and Phoebe, Lionel and Lucy–each found their own soul mate, but Noah….
“Noah, look at you. You’re the only one sitting here all alone. When are you planning to get a girlfriend?” Sheena teased, glancing at the empty seat next to him.
Noah turned his head, a slight blush coloring his ears.
“Mind your own business,” he replied coldly, then stood up and went upstairs to check on Elliot.
Sheena chuckled at his shy and reserved demeanor, and everyone in the living rm joined in the laughter.
Just when the atmosphere was joyous, Ford hurriedly knocked on the door.
“Miss! Something major has happened!
Lionel opened the door, and the anxious Ford quickly reported, “Princess Kelly from Laubabwe accused you of murdering the groom at the wedding and fled in fear! She has filed a case against you at the international court. The trial is set for three days from now!”
A brief silence fell over the living room as everyone processed this information. tense, and discussions on decision–making began.

Lucy, seated next to him, had been observing him closely. Noticing the unusual look in his eyes, she chose to remain silent and sat down beside him.
Noah, hearing the commotion, returned to the stairs. “If she wants to involve the law, let’s do it.”
Howard agreed, saying, “Exactly. If exposed, Nathaniel’s illegitimate status alone would significantly tarnish the reputation of the Laubabwe royal family. I don’t believe Princess Kelly would risk offending the entire royal family just to send you to prison.”
With her long lashes gently lowered, Sheena spoke calmly, “She doesn’t want to send me to prison. She wants a life for a life.”
Howard, growing angrier, reassured her, “Don’t worry. Our Lawson family’s legal team is not to be underestimated. If she’s not afraid to bring shame to the royal family, we’ll stand our ground.
Sheena bowed her head, choosing silence. Her tranquil gaze betrayed little of her thoughts.
Lionel, who had been quiet, finally spoke up, “Since Princess Kelly dared to take the case to the international court, she must believe she has solid evidence. Mr. Jenkins isn’t awake yet, and it won’t be easy to resolve this matter without him.”
Noah, seated on the adjacent couch, had a cold expression, saying, “Elliot is in the recovery phase, and we shouldn’t trouble him.”
Lionel wanted to say something but could not find the words. In the end, he lowered his head in
silence.
The living room was suddenly engulfed in an eerie silence.
With only three days left before the international court appearance, they had limited time to prepare. Kelly likely anticipated this, hoping to catch them off guard.
