Once he was gone, Lionel immediately leaned in.
“Elliot, should we investigate this further? Or should we bury this suicide note and let Romello’s trial proceed smoothly toward a death sentence?” Elliot glanced at the letter on his desk, noticing the faint, unsteady handwriting.

We'll handle this matter accordingly,” he stated. “Inform the Department of Justice about the new developments and postpone Romello’s trial for today.” He continued with clear instructions, “Send this letter to a professional handwriting expert for analysis. As for Nathaniel’s revelation about Vanda’s depression, have Logan's team thoroughly investigate it again.” Lionel obediently took the letter and replied, “Understood.” In the lab, Phoebe had been receiving continuous IVs.
After a few days of observation, it was confirmed that her nerves were fine.
Apart from smemory loss spanning nearly four years, her physical condition was nearly back to normal.

“Sure, | understand that your relationship with her has been difficult lately, and you want to take care of her yourself,” Nathaniel replied. “Besides, taking her to your place might help her remember sthings.” Howard was grateful. “Thank you.” Nathaniel smiled warmly, which was a rare sight. “It's no problem. However, she’s still a daughter of the Nicholls family and shouldn't stay with you permanently unless you live together as an engaged couple, which would be reasonable and acceptable.
