Chapter 548


    Chapter 548


    Lionel finally realized he had misunderstood Elliot’s intention. He thought Elliot was intentionally


    courting trouble.


    It turned out Elliot genuinely wanted to keep it from Sheena!


    In contrast to Elliot’s rage, Sheena smiled warmly.


    “Don’t be afraid. You confessed well. With me around, feel free to speak boldly.”


    However, Lionel, realizing he had erred and harmed Elliot, did not feel as confident as before. He


    needed to consider carefully how to make amends. Otherwise, he might be in serious trouble.


    If Elliot erupted in anger, Sheena’s pardon might not be enough to save him!


    After pondering for a while, Lionel spoke sincerely, “Ms. Sheena, Mr. Jenkins was wrong to hide it from


    you, but he truly remembered the schedule you customized. He never intended to actually smoke.”


    “He’s been taking medication three times a day. Those pills are bitter, and an overdose can cause loss


    of appetite and nausea. He just wanted a way to ease the difort after taking the medicine. He


    simply used the wrong method.”


    Lionel’s detailed exnation was heartfelt, and Elliot’s gloomy expression gradually softened as he


    finally heard someforting words from Lionel.


    With an unreadable expression, Sheena left them guessing whether she believed him or not.


    Lionel cautiously added, “Ms. Sheena, don’t be angry with Mr. Jenkins, please?”


    After all, with an outsider present, Sheena refrained from mentioning Elliot’s earlier attempt to deceive


    her.


    She smiled at Elliot, saying gently, “It’s a small matter, nothing to get upset about. Right, Eli?”


    Elliot nodded, looking genuinely remorseful.


    Shifting her gaze back to the cigarettes on the table, Sheena continued, “But in the future, let’s not


    keep these cigarettes around. They’re not good. Lionel, clear out the drawer and sell all the cigarettes


    at a low price.”


    “At a low price!” Lionel’s eyes widened.


    Thosex

    vas his favorite brand, and selling them at a low price would be a heartbreaking loss!


    d at him, “Listen to Nana. Take all these cigarettes away tonight. I don’t want to see this un!”


    Lionel looked miserable, “Yes, Jenkins.”

    While Lionel dealt with the cigarettes in the living room, Sheena stood up and grabbed Elliot’s hand.


    “Let’s go upstairs.”


    Even though her tone was calm, Elliot’s heart still skipped a beat.


    After all the effort to exin, was he still going to get a scolding?


    Nheless, he let Sheena lead him back to the master bedroom.


    “Sit,” Sheenamanded, and Elliot obediently took a seat, feeling quite apprehensive.


    He could not determine if Sheena was still angry, but he knew he really, really hated getting spanked!


    If not for fear of Sheena’s anger, Elliot would have thrown the ruler in the drawer and the washboard in


    the wardrobe into the ocean, never to be recovered!


    Lost in these gloomy thoughts, he saw Sheena turn toward the bedside table, cing her hand on the


    first drawer as if she was about to open it.


    He knew exactly what was inside!


    Without waiting for Sheena to open the drawer fully, he clutched his chest, furrowing his brow, and


    weakly called out, “Nana, I… feel ufortable…”


    Sheena immediately rushed over to check his condition.


    “Does your chest hurt? Is it another episode of angina? How did this happen? You’ve been taking


    medicine for a week. It shouldn’t happen so easily.”


    Weakly, he breathed, eyshes drooping, his handsome face pale and sickly as he leaned against


    her.


    Sheena, concerned, said, “You shouldn’t endure an attack. Let me get the medication that specifically


    suppresses angina attacks for you!”


    “No need!”


    Just as she was about to get up, Elliot grabbed her wrist. His grip was calm, showing none of the


    trembling weakness from before.


    Realizing he might have been too intense, Elliot weakly let go, burying his head in her embrace, and

    murmured, “What I meant is, with you holding me, I feel much better…”


    Sheena fell silent. She lowered her head, restrained her cold gaze, and quietly stared at his head. She


    had a sense of what was going on.


    Not only did he deceive and hide things from her today, but now he was also putting on an act!


    Initially, she wanted to let him off the hook, fetch the anti–inmmatory cream from the drawer, and


    personally help him with his knees.


    However, she had to reconsider that n now!
