After some time he chided himself, "I am such an idiot, how can I just blurt out my feelings like that?". "I just hope this incident today won't affect our friendship at least. I could at least have a chance to speak to her even though I can't be with her" Alone, Liam berated himself for his impulsive outburst, fearing it might irreparably damage their friendship. Despite his yearning for a chance to speak with her, he knew the boundaries that now loomed between them.In the days that followed, both Liam and Lea maintained a cautious distance, their interactions marked by an unspoken tension. Attempts to broach the topic of Liam's confession proved futile, their shared silence echoing the weight of unspoken words.Noticing the subtle shift in dynamics, their friends devised a plan for a beach outing, hoping to provide them with a chance to find common ground. Reluctant at first, Liam and Lea eventually relented, drawn in by the promise of respite amidst the c

Looking at her reaction which looked genuinely confused Liam thought to himself "Am I really wrong about her? Is she not who I thought she was?". After all, he had said all that he said today for two reasons one to get confirmation about his doubts about her identity, and secondly to clear things out with her regarding his emotions. "Have you gone crazy, Liam? How can you even think that? I have my own family with a father who loves me the most and brothers who care for me more than their lives," Lea said, her voice rising in frustration. "And did you just fall in love with me because you think I'm the person you missed all these years? Here I thought you really loved me for who I am. I'm such a fool," she added hurt and angry. She tried to get up and leave, but Liam grabbed her hand. "You're taking my words the wrong way, Lea. I wanted no lies between us before I made my stand clear," he said. "Yes, I initially got close to you because of the doubts I had, but I fell in lov

In the magical world of dragons… Master Li Yuhai was treating Lea in the guest room while the others stood silently in Queen Elizabeth's office, their heads bowed. "Why are you all standing there silently? Speak up," Elizabeth commanded. "I allowed you people to stay in the human world for so long because I trusted you, getting close to a human girl you not only broke the rules but also my trust," Elizabeth added sternly. "We...we didn't mean to, but..." Alex began, trailing off. "But what?" Elizabeth questioned, her anger evident. "There is a reason why all of us got close to her" This time Sharen spoke meekly. "And what was that reason?" Elizabeth asked. "We…we…" Sharen stammered. Looking at Elizabeth's anger rising by the minute Liam finally spoke "It was my fault, Aunty". Hearing this the others looked at Liam wanting to Rebuck but Rayan was faster, as he said "We all decided on it together, it's not just you" to which everyone nodded. Liam wanted to say something

"I'm really surprised you guys are still alive after what you did. Seriously, looking at my mom yesterday, I was scared stiff," Alisha said. Everyone sat silently, focusing on their food, as they'd had enough of the topic yesterday. Seeing them like that, Alisha was about to ask something when she noticed Lea moving on the bed. "Looks like your friend is waking up." This caught everyone's attention. They put their plates down and rushed to the bed. Liam sat down next to Lea, concerned, and Sharen told Vickey to inform Master Li. Alisha, dumbfounded, shook her head. She grabbed an untouched glass of water from the table and walked over to see the girl who had everyone so worried. As Lea slowly opened her eyes, she saw the worried Liam first and then the others around her. "Lea, how do you feel? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Liam asked. "I…mmm," Lea murmured, feeling her throat too dry to speak. "Give her this glass of water first; her throat must be dry. She just woke up," Alish

Elizabeth smiled lightly as she said, "You did nothing wrong, my dear, it was a bit too perfect so all of them here were shocked". "So how are you feeling now? Any dicomferts?" Elizabeth asked. "No…No, I am feeling perfectly fine now" Lea said with a sweet smile on her face as she looked Elizabeth directly in the eye. Looking at the Lea in front of her Elizabeth felt that something was not right as the Lea looked a bit too comfortable in this new place. Keeping her doubts to a side she said "Then let Master Li have a look at you so that we can be sure that there are no side effects left by the poison on your body" To which Lea nodded in agreement and then Master Li stepped forward to check her. Once Master Li assured them everything was fine Elizabeth asked the others in the room to step out as she wanted to speak with Lea in private. At first, they hesitated but later on, Lea assured them she was fine with speaking to Elizabeth they left the room. This interaction bet
