    Thinking about those things, Elijah’s difort lessened.


    Those were the paths Sheena had once walked in the Freeman family, and now he was just retracing


    them. However, he still could not help but wonder if everything could return to the beginning once


    everything was repaid.


    With this thought, Elijah clenched his fists, forced himself to hold on, and adjusted his kneeling posture


    to be more standard.


    In thiste–night downpour, he had been kneeling in the garden for two hours while Sheena stood by


    the window, watching for the same duration.


    Since the incident when Sheena was drugged, the bodyguards had a rule of taking turns to watch


    during thete hours. It was Ford’s duty tonight, and he hid in the shadows, observing the man in the


    garden.


    Despite Elijah’s weakened condition due to the effects of the modified serum, he remained unwavering


    from the beginning. Even though he was swaying now and then, his posture remained straight.


    Ford could not help but admire Elijah.


    Despite kneeling, Elijah still exuded a sense of dignity that prevented anyone from looking down on


    him. Ford could not bear to witness the breaking of such pride. After many dilemmas, he quietly


    entered the mansion and knocked on Sheena’s door.

    “Come in.”


    Ford walked in and stood not far behind Sheena.


    Sheena did not turn around, her gaze fixed on the man kneeling in the garden, her expression


    indifferent. “What’s the matter?”


    Ford nervously responded, “Ms. Lawson, with Mr. Freeman’s current physical condition, he might get


    sick.”


    Sheena sneered, “So what? I didn’t force him to kneel this time. He enjoys deceiving me under the


    disguise of repaying me, so let him y his part.”


    “Ms. Lawson…”


    “Leave.”


    Sheena shut the curtains and headed straight to the bathroom to prepare for sleep.


    Ford sighed and had no choice but to exit, returning to his post.

    The rain continued throughout the night, only gradually easing up toward dawn. Elijah had lost track of


    how long he had been kneeling. All he knew was that his knees down to his shins were numb, and his


    entire body felt cold and devoid of sensation.


    Even though the rain had stopped, the wind against his face still stung like a knife.


    When Ford emerged, he was surprised to find Elijah still persisting. “Mr. Freeman, it’s time to get up.


    Was it enough?


    Elijah’s pale lips involuntarily twitched.


    If Ford was telling him to get up, did that mean the ordeal was over? Would he finally be free of his


    debts?


    Attempting to rise, Elijah felt the sudden release of the tension he had been holding. His head began to


    grow heavier, and his vision gradually faded.


    “Mr. Freeman? Mr. Freeman!”


    Ford felt Elijah’s forehead, which was rmingly hot. Even though he had passed out, Elijah’s body


    continued to shiver uncontrobly. After a night in the rain, he was running a high fever!


    Ford promptly took him back to his room and went upstairs to consult Sheena.


    Sheena had just woken up and wasbing her hair at the dressing table. Upon learning that Elijah


    had passed out while kneeling, Sheena paused for a moment. However, she quickly continued


    “Yes, Ms. Lawson.”


    After the doctor arrived, Elijah was prescribed antipyretics and given an injection to bring down his


    temperature.
