    Sheena cried even harder, seemingly impossible to stop. She tightly held Elliot’s hand and shouted at


    him, “Elliot, you’re not allowed to die! If you dare die, I’ll find another man to marry immediately! You’ll


    regret it for the rest of your life!”


    Elliot smiled wryly. “That… can’t happen. You’re mine…”


    Sheena quickly turned to the medical staff and said, “I’m here now. Take him inside!”


    Still holding her hand, Elliot refused to let go. “Nana… listen to my exnation, please…”


    “Be a good boy and undergo the surgery. I’ll be outside. When youe out, I’ll listen to your


    exnation.”


    Elliot’s face was pale, and there was no more time to dy. However, he stubbornly clung to her hand,


    wanting to get a good look at her. The surgery was dangerous, with a low survival rate.


    Sheena, feeling heartbroken, had to forcefully pry his hand away, watching him being wheeled into the


    emergency room. The operating room’s lights lit up, and Sheena sat outside, waiting with a


    vacant gaze and tear-streaked face.


    This was the first time she had shed tears in front of so many people, but she did not care. All she


    knew was that she didn’t want Elliot to die.


    Three hours passed, and it was already 9 p.m., but Elliot had yet toe out.


    Lionel dismissed the other subordinates and sat across from Sheena, his.expression equally grave.


    After what seemed like a long contemtion, he finally spoke, “You’ve always believed that the incident


    at the abandoned warehouse six months ago was a deception, but it was real. He went there with the


    determination to die. If it weren’t for us arriving in time, saving what was left of him, he would have truly


    perished in the mes.”


    Sheena slowly looked up, staring at him.


    Lionel continued somberly, “As for why he didn’t return despite surviving the incident, it’s because the


    Jenkins family was in chaos then. He had to go back to manage the situation. The whipping on his


    back was a punishment for viting the family rules. He barely survived the warehouse incident,


    suffering extensive burns on his face and body, a broken leg from the fight, and internal injuries…”


    His gaze briefly flickered, and he skipped the fact that Elliot still harbored a virus in his body.


    The reason Elliot did not return to Farlem, aside from being unable to leave after gaining control of the


    Jenkins family, was the virus in his body. The doctor had not found a permanent cure yet, and he had


    to visit theb frequently for tests, relying on suppressants to prolong his life.


    However, Elliot had strictly forbidden anyone from revealing a word about this to Sheena.


    Lionel refocused his thoughts and continued, “Ms. Sheena, every time he risked his life, it was to win

    you back! He truly cares for you! In matters of the heart, he’s a fool, giving everything without


    reservation. However, he won’t share the pain with you. After regaining his status, he didn’t dare to


    reunite with you, fearing that revealing the truth would make you despise him. He was afraid of losing


    you forever. He’s terribly insecure in this rtionship.”


    Sheena lowered her head, her heart overwhelmed with guilt, almost suffocating in pain.


    Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Elliot covered in blood, a sight that had urred more than


    once. The incident at the abandoned warehouse six months ago must have inflicted more severe


    injuries than this time.


    Yet, she had harbored anger toward him for his hiding, med him for deceiving her, and even


    whipped him…


    Sheena’s heart felt like it was being cut with a knife, the pain nearly unbearable.


    “I’m sorry…”


    Those words seemed inadequate topensate for everything.


    “He doesn’t need an apology. Just show him some affection, be tender toward him, and he’ll be on


    cloud nine,” Lionel advised.


    Seeing her profound sadness, he sighed repeatedly.


    “Ms. Sheena, he doesn’t owe you anything now. However, upon learning that you’ve been sad for half a


    year, he feels guilty. Asking me to find the whip wasn’t for staging a fake injury. It was his attempt to


    six months, but he was also tormented by illness.”


    “Last night, he nned to apologize and exin when he returned, but unexpectedly, you had already

    gone to Mr. Santiago Jenkins to cancel the engagement, and he surprisingly agreed. His momentary


    distraction led to him getting shot.”


    Sheena abruptly stopped crying and frowned. “I did discuss the annulment with Grandpa Santiago, but


    he disagreed. I intended to reconsider the matter. Who told you that information?”


    Lionel exchanged a nce with her, realizing that something was amiss.


    Immediately, he sent someone to investigate.


    Half an hourter, the atmosphere outside the emergency room became tense.
