Chapter 1066
However, this situation absolutely could not happen again.
Sheena would never allow herself to hurt Elliot like that again.
Quietly pondering, Sheena applied the ointment to Elliot’s back without a word.
Ever since the truth was exposed, Sheena felt a heavy burden on her heart, and the atmosphere between them was not as pleasant as usual.
Sheena numbly changed into her work attire, and Elliot reached out to hold her hand, wanting to send her to the company.
“No need,” Sheena said, withdrawing her hand. “I’m in good spirits now. I’ll make sure to come back half an hour early. Don’t worry.”
Elliot pursed his lips, saying nothing. He appeared sad, as if feeling rejected by his
own wife.
Sensing this, Sheena gently stroked his handsome face with her fingertips and kissed his lips.
“Honey, don’t overthink it. I’m just worried about you. It must be painful to sit in the car with the injury on your buttocks, right? Be a good boy. Rest at home for a day and catch up on sleep, okay?”
Elliot agreed.
After several days of insufficient sleep, he really needed a good rest to refresh his
mind.
Elliot accompanied Sheena to the Jenkins estate garage, watching her drive away in the luxury car before leisurely returning to E&S Haven.
However, Sheena did not go far after leaving the Jenkins estate.
She parked the car 500 meters away at the street corner, opened her phone
contacts, and called Lionel.
After a few rings, the call was quickly answered on the other end.
Lionel sounded pleasantly surprised.
“Sheena, why did you suddenly call me? I’m so honored.”
Feeling low, Sheena did not feel like playing around and went straight to the point.
“You can’t tell Elliot about this.”
“Huh?” Lionel was a little puzzled. “Sheena, why do you want to keep this from Elliot?”
“Don’t ask why. Just know that if you leak this to Elliot before I get it done, I’ll give you a hard time in front of him in the future, making him dock your pay and bonuses.”
“Please don’t! I promise you not to tell him. Besides, Elliot only listens to you, and I’ll
naturally follow your orders too. Just tell me what you need.”
Sheena said calmly, “Can you quietly help me get a set of heavy–duty handcuffs and
leg cuffs from the National Investigation Bureau?”
Lionel hesitated before asking, “Heavy–duty handcuffs and leg cuffs are usually for suspects who have committed serious offenses. Sheena, who are you planning to
lock up?”
Sheena avoided answering his question. “I’m just asking if you can help me get them.
“Sure, that’s not a big deal. How soon do you need them?”
‘Before the end of the workday.”
As the sky turned darker, the weather became chillier.
The cold wind blew on Sheena’s face, and she felt the bone–chilling cold, much like
her current mood.
Previously, the night was a beautiful time for Sheena and Elliot, but she now hated
the darkness and feared that she might have an episode at any moment.
With half an hour before the end of her shift, she drove back to E&S Haven.

The mansion was quiet.
Sheena quietly went upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and found Elliot still asleep, not awake yet.
Sheena tiptoed to the bedside, carefully sat down, and gazed at Elliot’s peaceful sleeping face.
Elliot went through a lot recently, and he finally managed to catch on

Thankfully, Elliot had not woken up yet, and she could start preparing for the evening.
