    “If you really kneel for a day and night, your legs might not be able to move tomorrow or the day after.


    Sheena’s tone softened considerably.


    Elliot clenched his fists and replied with a mix of grievance and jealousy, “If my legs end up useless, so


    be it. It’s not like anyone cares if I’m hurt or in pain.”


    Sheena was left speechless, admitting defeat this time around.


    “Don’t talk nonsense. If you’re hurt or in pain, I’ll feel bad too.”


    She hugged him gently once more, wiping the faint sweat from his forehead, using a soft and


    affectionate tone.


    “I was wrong! I’ll tell Caesar tomorrow that I won’t have dinner with him alone, and if I must, I’ll bring


    you along. Is that okay?”


    Elliot had calmed down a bit, expressing his discontent with a few sullen hums.


    “I’ll reluctantly forgive you, but there can’t be a next time.”


    Sheena assured, “Sure! I promise there won’t be a next time. Now, get up.”


    She helped him up, guided him to sit on the bed, and rolled up his pants, checking his knees.


    The sharp edges of the washboard had left deep marks. Thankfully, he did not kneel too long, and his


    knees were just swollen without any bruising.


    Sheena massaged Elliot’s knees carefully. To avoid bruises the next day, she took an anti-


    inmmatory ointment from the bedside drawer and applied it to his knees.


    “Look at this! Why do you have to hurt yourself?” Then, she sighed, asking, “Is it painful?”


    “My heart hurts more!”


    Elliot stared at her with pent–up frustration, his grievances evident on his handsome face.


    Sheena immediately kissed his thin lips, her entire heart melting at his pitiful appearance, and she


    coddled him, “How about I make it up to you tonight?”


    Elliot, catching on instantly, did not say anything.


    What a little temptress!

    An enjoyable hourter, Elliot, having shed all his hostility, emerged refreshed under Sheena’sfort.


    Satisfied, he walked out of the bedroom, heading downstairs to the kitchen to prepare


    dinner.


    After a heated argument, Sheena’s timely reassurance prevented their rtionship from being

    significantly affected. Elliot, who received a smallpensation, felt quite content.

    During dinner, Sheena recalled the incident at the kickoff ceremony earlier in the day and said, “Katie


    mentioned that someone visited her in prison, and the appearance of that person seemed unexpected


    to her. If you have time, ask someone to check Katie’s recent visitation records.”


    Elliot’s expression immediately turned serious.


    “I’ve already checked. There’s nothing on her visitation record.”


    Sheena was stunned.


    Sheena listened attentively, contemting the information.


    Elliot quickly served a spoonful of food onto her te.


    “Eat first. I’ll exin everything slowly.”


    “Okay.”


    “These five individuals are Romello, Corey, Darrell, Stuart, and me. Stuart hasn’t returned to Svelton


    for almost half a year, consistently working on the border, so he’s mostly ruled out.


    “As for Corey and me, we wouldn’t do something to harm you. That’s why I’ve directed the investigation


    to focus on Romello and Darrell. I believe we’ll have results soon.”


    Sheena raised an eyebrow, analyzing the situation.


    “I’m not acquainted with Darrell. We’ve never interacted, so I think the likelihood is low for him. As for


    Romello… What do you


    think?”
