Chapter 376

Elijah did not have much strength left. However, when he noticed that Sheena was about to remove his arm from around her waist forcefully, he pleaded softly, his voice weak and tender.

“Please… just let me hold you for a little while, just this once…”

For the last time…

Even if he survived the ambush outside the eastern outskirts in three days, returning to Svelton to resolve the family turmoil would still be dangerous. He wanted to remember her scent and the warmth of her embrace in these final

moments.

Sheena, with a hardened heart, continued to pry his hand away. “Let go. I need to go to the study!”

“Please don’t. I’m begging you…”

His voice was barely audible, filled with sorrow.

Sheena abruptly froze. Did he just use the word “beg“?

Recently, he had been playful, submissive, and feigning vulnerability, but she knew that deep down, he was always prideful. This was the first time he had used the word “beg.”

Sheena did not say anything more, allowing Elijah to hold her.

The room was silent, seemingly peaceful. Everything appeared calm, but Elijah’s brow furrowed more and more with each passing moment. With every breath, his entire body throbbed with pain. Moreover, the pain kept intensifying, growing more unbearable as he had not applied any medicine.

Yet, the sweet fragrance from Sheena’s body was like honey, making him reluctant to let go. Elijah lay with his upper body on Sheena’s thighs, and Sheena sensed his heavy breathing.

His condition seemed off.

“Your burns have been five days now, and it shouldn’t be as painful as when it started, right? Why do you seem so uncomfortable?”

Elijah remained silent, Sheena, suspicious, reached toward the back of his shirt collar, but Elijah seized her wrist.

“I’m fine, especially with the medicine. If you remove the bandage, I’ll have to apply the medicine again.”

It made sense, but…

“But why do you seem to be in so much pain? Did you get injured again today when you went out?”

Sheena’s questions were met with silence. Frustrated, she ruffled his short hair and scoided softly, “Who taught you not to answer your master? Did the people from the Special Investigation Department today hurt you? Get up, take off your clothes, let me see.”

Another round of undressing?

Elijah sighed with a hint of helplessness. As he was about to respond, Ford knocked on the door.

“Miss, the Nicholls family’s bodyguards are here.”

“The Nicholls family’s bodyguards? What do they want from me?”

Could it be that the Nicholls family already knew that she caused Nathaniel’s disappearance?

Ford explained, “It seems the Nicholls family’s heiress caused some trouble. Unable to locate Mr. Nicholls, and with only you here, they hope you can come and assist. Miss, are you going?”

Sheena remained silent.

Gabrielle had always been close to her since childhood. Considering the deep ties. between the Nicholls family and the Lawson family, it was understandable that their bodyguards sought her help. /

Nathaniel was being interrogated, and it would not be right to neglect Gabrielle.

However, with Elijah here…

She glanced down at the person in her arms. Sensing her gaze,

Elijah willingly released his grip on her waist, settling back onto the bed and saying, “I’ll take a nap. By the time you return, I’ll have dinner ready.”

Given his words, Sheena had little to say. “Rest, but remember, I’ll be checking on your injuries when I return, got it?”

Elijah nodded.

Sheena sat by his bedside for a while, observing his gradually calm breath and serene expression. Then, she left the room with Ford, Paul, and the Nicholls family’s bodyguards.

As the car engine’s sound gradually faded, Elijah called Ian inside.

“Mr. Freeman, what’s the matter?”

Elijah gritted his teeth, took a few slow breaths to ease the pain, and said, “The first aid kit… in the storage cabinet in the living room on the first floor. Help me…. deal with the wounds.”

“Okay!”

ian rushed downstairs and quickly returned with the first aid kit.

“Mr. Freeman, where are you injured?”

“Remove… my… clothes…”

His forehead beaded with cold sweat, his voice weak.

Ian wasted no time and stepped forward to help him remove his suit. However, as the suit came off, Ian was shocked by the extensive bloodstains on Elijah’s white shirt.

“Oh my God! H–How did you get injured like this?”
