Sheena was in so much pain that she kept drifting in and out of consciousness.
She half-opened her eyes to see Elliot continuously changing hands to massage her stomach. Each the freed
up a hand, he would flex his sore wrist before continuing.
Sensing his obvious fatigue, Sheena felt a bit guilty and said, “Eli, stop massaging me. | should feel much better
after sleeping a while more.”
Elliot did not stop, replying, “It's okay. As | keep massaging, you'll fall asleep.”
Sheena did not insist further. She was truly exhausted, unable to keep her eyes open.
Elliot’s massaging technique improved over time, seemingly providing srelief.
As her body relaxed, Sheena quickly drifted into a deep sleep.
While she slept, Elliot did not rest. He nestled under the covers, staying close to her, continuing to massage her
sore waist.
Soon enough, he fell asleep alongside her.
Occasionally, Sheena would shift, but Elliot remained asleep, his hands reflexively continuing their massaging
motion.

The two slept harmoniously until noon.
Meanwhile, at Farlem, Hannah had been avoiding Noah ever since he had interrupted her last date.
Even though they lived under the sroof, they managed to avoid each other, never crossing paths during
their morning routines.
Vanessa, watching helplessly, considered offering Noah sadvice several times but hesitated due to his
status as she was unsure of how he might react.
After lunch, Noah finally gave in and returned to the hotel to retrieve his phone and wallet.

He scrolled through them one by one.
[Howard: Noah, how's it going? Did you successfully infiltrate the Moore family?]
[Howard: Where are you? Why aren’t you answering your phone? You didn’t actually throw away your phone and
wallet, did you?]
[Howard:...]
[Howard: You were supposed to pretend! Pretend! You could've kept your phone and wallet on you and said you

[Howard: Your play-pretend turns into real misery. If you can’t even succeed in this, then I'm really speechless.

[Howard: Hehe. Noah, you're truly a gentleman!]

Howard kept bringing up the topic of Noah being drugged, but that was not the main issue!
The pressing matter was that Hannah completely ignored him, and he had no clue what to do!
After discussing the matter further, Howard finally cup with an idea.
[Howard: Noah, since Ms. Hannah is determined to ignore you, | think you should switch targets.]
[Noah: Who?]
[Howard: Patrick.]
Noah was briefly taken aback when he saw the name. Without hesitation, he immediately called Howard to
