They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System-Chapter 73 - Going Home

Maybe he had changed his mind.

Maybe he did have something more to say.

Instead, she watched as Ikenna calmly pulled open a drawer, retrieved a good number of books and writing materials, then walked over to her.

“Somto asked me to give you these when you are discharged.

He would have come himself, but something held him back,” he said, placing them in her hands.

She stared down at the items, then back up at him, waiting, expecting more.

But Ikenna just stepped back.

“That’s it, then.

Go on now,” he said, his tone final.

Nnenna’s fingers clenched around the books as she swallowed the bitter taste of disappointment.

Without another word, she turned and walked out of the office.

As she stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor, a familiar chime rang in her ears.

Ding!

You’ve stressed almost the entire staff at Royal Hospital, including Director Ikenna, since you woke up.

But at the same time, won their favor through your numerous good deeds.

You lost 125 good points for the first but gained 1000 good points for the second.

Congratulations!

Nnenna “…”

But the notification still made her smile.

Being loved felt good.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, a wave of people greeted her.

Word had spread that she was finally being discharged, and many staff members plus patients came to see her off.

For the next thirty minutes, she found herself hugging, thanking, and saying goodbye to those who had taken care of her and those she had taken care of for months.

Then, from the crowd, Nurse Courage emerged.

The woman who had once cared for Nnenna had, in turn, been taken care of by Nnenna when she was at her lowest.

The nurse rushed over, wrapping her in a tight hug.

“I know you don’t have a phone yet,” she said, pulling back and pressing a small slip of paper into Nnenna’s hand, “but here’s my number.

Maybe you could use the house phone to contact me.

I’ll really miss you, dear.

I’ll really miss you.”

A lump formed in Nnenna’s throat, but she smiled.

“Don’t worry, Mommy Courage,” she reassured.

“I’ll always come visit you.” Then, playfully, she added, “Just don’t forget to send me a gift on my birthday!”

The nurse chuckled, nodding, but Nnenna had no plans to actually invite her.

She didn’t know what would happen that day.

Until things were more stable, she couldn’t afford to let the royal family know about anyone important to her.

She hugged the woman again, memorizing her face.

She looked better.

Much better than the day she found out Ruben had been cheating.

A wave of relief washed over Nnenna.

‘She’s moving forward,’ she thought, comforted by that.

With a final glance, she turned away and stepped into the luxurious car waiting for her.

The housekeeper was already seated inside, and the moment she settled in, the driver started the engine.

As the car pulled away from the hospital, Nnenna let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

It was time to go home.

In the car, Nnenna blinked rapidly, trying to keep the tears at bay.

Her peaceful days were officially over.

From the moment she stepped onto royal grounds, the battle for her life would begin.

But not this time.

Not like before.

“I am not going down easily,” she whispered to herself, her hands clenching into fists.

Her eyes cleared, sharp with determination, as she began to strategize.

Every move she made at the castle had to be calculated.

She couldn’t afford to be careless.

Castle Grounds – Garage

The long drive finally ended, and as the car rolled to a stop in the grand garage, Nnenna stepped out.

The housekeeper walked beside her, and the moment she entered the house, a few familiar servants hurried forward to greet her.

“Welcome home, Princess!” they chimed, smiles lighting up their faces.

Nnenna’s heart warmed at their kindness.

She stepped forward, wrapping them in a brief but genuine hug.

“Thank you, everyone,” she said softly, feeling a sliver of warmth in returning home.

But as she turned to leave, reality slammed into her.

Her room.

It was still under the stairs.

Her lips curled slightly in disgust.

How can a human being live under the stairs?

She exhaled sharply.

“One step at a time,” she reminded herself.

She would turn everything around.

She would reclaim her place.

As she walked toward the servants’ quarters, whispers floated behind her back.

“The troublemaker is back,” one muttered.

“At least now our workload will reduce,” another replied with a smirk.

“Tell me about it.

Now I don’t have to serve Princess Ebere anymore.

She’s been making my life a living nightmare since Nnenna was rushed to the hospital,” a timid girl whispered to her friend.

“You’re lucky, Chika,” her friend, a taller maid named Miriam, muttered back.

“At least you only had to deal with one.

I got assigned to Queen Chioma, and let me tell you, I would rather scrub the entire west wing alone than serve that woman again.”

“Tsk, don’t even start,” a third servant, an older woman named Ifunanya, chimed in.

“I had to clean up after Prince Abuchi’s late night parties.

If I hear one more wine glass shatter, I might just lose my mind.”

“Ugh, and you know what’s worse?” Miriam leaned in closer.

“Now that she’s back, you can bet Princess Ebere will try to make her life miserable all over again.

I almost feel bad for the girl.”
