Chapter 1643: "I'm not sure," Elyse whispered faintly, feeling overwhelmed by dizziness.
Her eyes fluttered shut, and she fell forward, unconscious. Chloe's plea for help echoed loudly. "Someone, please! Help us! She's passed out!" Three days later, Elyse regained consciousness, the passage of tslipping by unnoticed. She opened her eyes to see Jayden sleeping lightly beside her, his head propped on his hand in a posture of silent vigilance.

He immediately locked eyes with her, worry etched across his face. "How do you feel? Any pain?" "No, I just need something to drink," Elyse responded, her throat parched.
Jayden quickly assisted her to sit up and handed her a glass of water.
She took several deep sips, then returned the glass to him.
"What's been going on?" she inquired.
"Rebecca was arrested," Jayden said. "She was just diagnosed with a congenital personality disorder today. She's mentally unstable. Everyone's worried the royal family will try to cover up her crime. There are even protests happening now." Shocked, Elyse responded, "Rebecca has a personality disorder? How did it go unnoticed for so long?" "Her mother paid off the doctors," Jayden replied. "She made sure all her medical records appeared normal." Elyse's expression grew troubled. "Her mother knew something was off with her and still let her carry on like this?" Jayden nodded solemnly. "The situation is complex. The King has many children, but despite her issues, Rebecca is notably bright-more so than her siblings in many ways." Elyse opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came.

A knot tightened in Elyse's chest. "Rebecca won't be acquitted of her crimes, will she? Who will take responsibility for the lives lost that day?"
Jayden let out a heavy sigh. "So many lives were lost. The public om won't let Rebecca walk away from this. If the authorities mishandle things, there could be a revolt. And if that happens..." He hesitated, his expression grim. "Executing Rebecca might be the only way to appease the public's rage."
Elyse gave a solemn nod. "True, but who knows what'll happen next?! We're just ordinary people. We did everything we could."
