Chapter 458


    Chapter 458


    Elliot took his medicine, and hisplexion improved slightly. Exhausted, he nestled into herp and


    fell asleep.


    Sheena checked the time and noticed that it was already quitete. If she left now, she risked waking


    Elliot, who was peacefully sleeping. However, staying meant dealing with Corey, which could turn out


    badly.


    Sheena hesitated.


    She observed Elliot and found him in a serene slumber. Even asleep, his features were like a divine


    sculpture, exceptionally handsome. His face captivated her, and she only snapped out of her reverie


    when her phone rang.

    It was a call from Barbara.


    “Sheena, how is he? Is he badly hurt?” Barbara asked.


    Sheena cleared her throat, deliberately adding a hint of a sob.


    “Barbara, you know how strong Corey is. Eli already had injuries, and now they have worsened. He’s


    been unconscious since we returned to the Jenkins family.”


    Barbara caught on to her implication but still asked, “Is it that serious? Corey’s action was quite


    reckless earlier. So, what’s your n? Are youing back tonight?”


    Seizing the opportunity, Sheena responded, “Considering it’s because of Corey that he’s in this state, I


    feel guilty. I want to stay here and care for him for a few days. Once he’s better, I’ll return. Is that


    okay?”


    “Well…” Barbara whispered through the phone, “You can stay if you want. I’ll talk to Corey for you. But


    remember to behave, and don’t…”


    Before Barbara could finish, Corey’s angry yell echoed from afar.


    “Sheena, if you darey a finger on him again, I’ll definitely break your legs! No one can stop me this


    time!”


    Sheena quickly moved the phone away and discreetly nced at the still–sleeping Elliot. Fortunately,


    he remained undisturbed. However, Corey’s words seemed oddly strange.


    Why did he make her sound like a ruthless bandit, forcibly keeping a young man captive?


    Feeling frustrated, she muttered quietly, “Corey, he’s an injured patient. How could I continue to harm


    him? I haven’t be so heartless yet!”

    Corey scoffed.


    Barbara reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle Corey for you tonight. Take good care of Elliot these next


    few days. He’s a responsible and handsome young man. I quite like him.”


    “How dare you say you like him? Barbara, have you lost your mind? Come over here!” Corey was


    annoyed.


    “Hey! I’m not done with Sheena yet…” Barbara’s words trailed off as the call abruptly ended,


    apanied by a busy tone.


    Sheena stared nkly at the screen. Remembering Barbara’s mention of how she would handle Corey


    tonight, a blush crept onto her face.


    Did couples casually discuss such matters?


    However, it seemed Corey was upset about something.


    Would Barbara’s lower back be okay tomorrow?


    To stay and take care of Elliot, she had to sacrifice Barbara’s lower back.


    Sacrifices had to be made!


    Sheena sighed deeply, and her gaze, in a fleeting moment, caught the peacefully sleeping man on her


    leg smirking.


    When did he wake up? Was he eavesdropping on her phone call?


    “Eli?”


    Elliot’s smile instantly disappeared, and he continued to sleep peacefully.


    He was quite the actor!


    Sometimes, she could not distinguish between his truths and lies. Sheena pursed her lips, a bit


    displeased. If it were not for his injury, she would have taught him how to behave!
