Chapter 404 Sound Him Out

Elise paused as she was reminded of her brother. Ever since she returned from Pinewood Hospital,she hadn't seen Trevor again and had eventually forgotten about him. Soon, she recalled the timeshe gave Austin an acupuncture treatment, thinking about the symptoms she could have easilymissed. Things would have gotten worse if I hadn't detected those symptoms, but Austin... Upon abrief contemplation, Elise decided to leave Austin aside first and look into Trevor's condition. “BringTrevor to me tomorrow. I'll treat him.”

“Really?!” Jeanie looked at Elise in surprise, but that look only lasted for a short while before it wasreplaced with a worried expression. She then asked in a concerned manner, “You nearly faintedwhen you treated your dad the last time a few days ago, so are you sure you're going to be okay?Don't get ahead of yourself, Yoyo.”

“I'll be fine. I've had enough rest.” Elise smiled faintly and patted the back of Jeanie’s hand. “Fornow, that's going to be the plan, and I'll see him tomorrow.”

“Alright!” Jeanie nodded her head repeatedly, happily looking at Elise while feeling grateful forhaving a daughter like her.

“It's getting late. Please rest early. I need to return to my room and get ready for tomorrow'ssession.”

"Alright. Make sure you rest well because I don't want you to push yourself too hard. I'm sure yourbrother will understand if your treatment doesn’t seem to work on him, so it's going to be okay,”Jeanie replied.

Elise pursed her lips without responding to Jeanie’s words. Upon returning to her room, she satdown in front of her laptop and started running a program with it to give Claude a call.

When Claude saw the call, he immediately answered the call and put it to his ear. “Father, is therescue mission really so urgent that you have to call me personally?” Claude agitatedly asked.

"Did you fall out with the organization?” Elise used a voice changer to alter her voice, making hersound like a man speaking.

“No way!" Claude smiled and answered, “My dad owns the organization. Furthermore, I'm living mylife well, thanks to you all, so why would I want to ruin it by stepping on everyone's toe in theorganization?”

Elise nodded, thinking Claude was not aware of the matter as she expected. Thus, it naturallyoccurred to her that the problem was with SK Group instead.

"Have you booked the flight?” Elise changed the subject.

“No, I haven't, but you should know that I'm wanted by a lot of people back in the country, so I hadto sneak back with a fake alias,” Claude explained.

"Alright. Stay safe.” Elise emotionlessly hung up the call, fixing her gaze on her laptop monitorscreen that was showing the profile picture of the organizational member online. In fact, she hadnoticed that the core member of the organization, Joseph Fuller, would log in approximately twominutes after she signed in almost every single time. Thus, she was sure that it was no coincidenceas she suddenly had a bad feeling about the mystery. She then waited for a few minutes andopened the chatbox with Joseph, deciding to send him a text message to sound him out. 'l want toquit.’

Two minutes later, Joseph replied with a few messages coming in one after another.

“Where are you?”

“Are you in some kind of trouble?"

“Don’t do anything reckless. Get back to the headquarters. We will protect you."

While Elise set her eyes on the messages that kept popping up, her gaze turned cold and indifferentbecause she knew she wasn't texting with Joseph. After all, Elise knew Joseph was aware of howmuch SK Group meant to her and that he would usually just laugh it off. Thus, she couldn't help butwonder who exactly was on the other end. Who is this person? Is he controlling the entire SK Group,or has he just taken Joseph's place? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Elise replied to the textmessage. “It's personal. Don't dwell too much on it.’

As soon as Elise’s message got through, she immediately shut down the software and upgraded heranti-tracking system before turning off her computer. At the same time, she couldn't stopwondering who was onto SK Group and had successfully infiltrated the organization. Other thanthat, she knew whoever was posing as Joseph had started tracking information about the other coremembers of the organization. For that, she believed she had just become the target of thismysterious stalker.

Nonetheless, Elise knew that the mysterious person behind the screen still hadn't figured out how todestroy her anti-tracking system, so she considered her discovery a wake-up call and decided totake necessary precautions against who might be plotting against her.

The next day, Trevor was taken to the Sinclair Residence after breakfast, where the private guardiansaw him and escorted him in a wheelchair. Then, they stopped in the courtyard outside the parlorbefore someone wheeled him into the room. Meeting Elise for the first time, Trevor was seen with asurprised look on his pale face. In that instant, the sibling duo appeared to be slightly embarrassed,especially when they exchanged gazes.

“Thank you so much, Elise.” Trevor opened his mouth with all his strength, struggling to look up.

At the same time, Elise walked closer to him and calmly helped him up. “Lie down still.”

Trevor nodded and lay down as he was told. Then, he took off his clothes and covered his privatepart with a towel.

After that, Elise reached for her needles and put them aside, whereupon she picked one of themand took a closer look at it right before her eyes. Then, she turned her attention to Trevor and said,“This is going to sting a little. So, brace yourself.”

“It's okay.” Trevor said, subconsciously clenching his jaw.

Soon, Elise planted needles all over his legs, piercing his skin with the sharp needles. At the sametime, Trevor began to feel a tingling sensation but endured it without making a sound. Soon, hisforehead was covered with cold sweat when the last needle pierced through his skin. It was onlythen that he let out a painful scream shortly before the persisting pain overwhelmed him.Nonetheless, Trevor was happy deep down because that meant his legs could feel again.Meanwhile, Elise stood aside calmly, observing the veins beneath his skin and heaving a sigh ofrelief when she saw the blood flowing through them. “Hang in there. Once the blood can flowthrough your veins, you should be able to get back on your feet again,” Elise said.

Simultaneously, Trevor was unable to give her a response, only clenching his jaw with his eyesclosed in order to remain as calm as possible to protect his pride as a man. However, he eventuallypassed out after hanging in there for a moment.

"Young Master Trevor! Young Master Trevor!” the nurse shouted almost at the top of her lungs,unknowingly drawing Jeanie's attention as it prompted her to barge in.

“What's wrong with Trevor? Is he alright? What happened?!” Jeanie rushed to the bed and set hereyes on Trevor, who was unconscious, seizing Elise’s hands in a panicky manner. “Yoyo, is he goingto die? Please tell me he'll live.” Jeanie spoke with tears welling up in her eyes.

Needless to say, Elise felt as if someone was squeezing her heart, sad and emotional. She thenknitted her eyebrows and answered, “He just fainted. So, it's not a big deal. He'll be fine.”

“Alright! That's good to know!” Jeanie patted her chest in relief despite her furrowed brows.Finding it hard to see how Jeanie was tormented by her own anxiety, Elise came up with an excuseand told the guardian to take her out for a walk before the room was filled with peaceful silence.Half an hour later, Elise pulled the needles out of Trevor's skin, whereupon the latter woke up. Hethen moved his neck and subsequently his legs at will, just as a surprised look flashed across hisface. When he was about to sit up straight, he was suddenly held back by the thought that he onlyhad a towel covering his private part. Thus, he was forced to continue lying down in an awkwardmanner.

Thinking something went wrong, Elise leaned closer and kept her eyes on his legs. “What's wrong?Are you alright?”

Trevor smiled in embarrassment. “Elise, this isn't appropriate, considering our... gender differences.”Elise paused shortly before she realized what was going on and looked away. “Excuse me. I shouldprobably leave you with some space.”
