Chapter 1042


    Elliot sat down beside the bed once again, gently calling out, “Honey, it’s time to eat. You’ve been


    through a lot this morning, and you must be hungry by now, right? Nana?”


    He called out a couple more times, but Sheena remained unresponsive.


    Elliot felt restless and nervously reached out to check her breathing.


    Her breathing was fairly stable.


    “Wake up, honey. Stop sleeping,” he urged.


    As his hand brushed through her hair at the back of her head, he felt a sticky sensation on


    his fingers.


    Elliot’s heart sank as he pulled his trembling hand away from Sheena.


    Upon closer look, he noticed a smear of blood on his fingertips.


    It was clear that the injury to the back of her head was more serious than he had initially


    thought.


    Elliot immediately called the police officers guarding the hotel.


    “Nana’s not doing well. Call an ambnce and get here fast.”


    After hanging up the phone, Elliot carried Sheena and rushed downstairs.


    Seeing no signs of her waking up, his heart felt like it was being crushed.


    Tears streamed down his face uncontrobly, and it was his first time crying so hard.


    “Nana, please be fine! You have to! Otherwise, I’ll never forgive myself!”


    His eyes were red and swollen.


    Usuallyposed, Elliot felt utterly lost and helpless like a child.


    Over ten unbearable minutester, Sheena was admitted to Ardolisia’srgest hospital and


    taken into the emergency room.


    Outside, Elliot was nervous, staring at the dried blood on his fingertips.


    The events of the ambush on the road yed over and over in his mind–the gunshot and the heavy


    blow to the back of Sheena’s head, where the nerves were most vulnerable.


    gger stabbing his heart, intensifying the pain beyond measure


    ace determination filled Elliot’s dark eyes as his rage boiled over, his chest heaving


    fury


    In a fit of anger, he called Neil.


    For the first time, Eliot yelled at him, “Nana’s head wound is bleeding! I don’t care how you do it, but


    you must find the person who hurt her today! I want them to suffer for every bit of pain Sheena


    endured!”


    It was the first time Neil had heard Elliot’s emotions on the verge of spiraling out of control, and he


    immediately stepped up his efforts with the investigation.


    Every passing minute outside the emergency felt like an eterity, plunging Elliot into despair.


    He refused to eat or drink, waiting there for three hours until the red light above the emergency room


    finally dimmed.

    Elliot immediately stood up and saw a nurse wheeling out Sheena, who was still


    unconscious.


    He tightly held Sheena’s hand as they entered a regr ward together.


    The doctor spoke in a calm tone, ‘Rest assured. There’s nothing serious for now. Thea is likely


    due to a concussion, and the bleeding is superficial. The scans show no signs of intracranial bleeding.”


    Elliot breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, before he could fully rx, the doctor continued, “However, we’re also monitoring her


    condition closely. If she doesn’t wake up within 24 hours, we’ll have to transfer her to the intensive care


    unit and attempt to wake her forcefully. Additionally, there’s a possibility of retrograde amnesia once


    she wakes up. It could be temporary, or she may never regain certain memories. You need to be


    prepared for that.” she may never regain certain


    This sudden and devastating news felt like a bolt from the blue, sending Elliot’s heart into


    despair.


    Elliot asked in a trembling voice, “Are you saying she might lose her memory? Forget me, or forget


    everything?”


    The doctor nodded solemnly. “Yes.”


    The two of them continued to converse by the bedside,pletely unaware that the person lying in the


    hospital bed was slowly regaining consciousness.
