His heart sank, prompting him to wake Ford and ask, “Where’s Sheena?”
Ford yawned and replied, “She’s handling things at the bar. She’s probably done and back at the mansion resting.”
Elijah furrowed his brow slightly, his deep voice trembling, “She hasn’t been here?”
“No. She had Paul and me take you to the hospital.”
Elijah’s eyes gradually dimmed, his heart burning with a pain stronger than the sulfuric acid.
on his back.
Seeing his grim expression, Ford reassured, “Mr. Freeman, don’t worry. It’s too late, and she must be exhausted after dealing with everything. She’ll probably come by early tomorrow.”
Elijah said nothing and turned over, closing his eyes to feign sleep. However, he knew if Sheena had not come tonight, she probably would not come tomorrow.
It was a sleepless night for Elijah.
Farlem Police Station.
The police had witnessed Sheena’s act of violence, and coupled with the late hour, the formal investigation had to wait until the following day. Sheena had no choice but to spend the night in the station.
Maurice, who had belatedly learned of Sheena’s true identity from Nathaniel, was left dumbfounded.
She was the heiress of Svelton’s wealthiest Lawson family, Corey’s beloved sister.
He shuddered at the thought that he almost threw such a prominent figure into a holding cell last time.
Given the ongoing investigation, he arranged a luxurious single room in the station for Sheena, while John and Sawyer ended up sharing a double room.
Late autumn had arrived, and the accommodations for suspects in the police station were essentially divided, small, partitioned rooms. They lacked bedding, chairs, and washing facilities, and they would even need to report to the guards to use the restroom.
The floors were damp, and some detainees opted to squat while sleeping at night.
However, Sheena’s small room was different. It was fully equipped with sheets, a single bed, and a plush carpet to prevent her from catching a chill. They even provided her with a table and computer.
Although the computer could only connect to the station’s internal network and could not access the internet, it was still good for playing games if she could not sleep. Occasionally, police officers would come by, politely asking if she wanted a midnight snack and offering to bring her delicacies from the adjacent five–star restaurant.
The only downside was the confiscation of her phone due to security measures.
Chapter 332
Sheena lay on the small bed, bored, and went through the events of the day from start to finish. At the bar, she noticed ian was missing, but since Elijah had sent Lionel after him, she assumed it was not a big issue.
However, tonight’s events were too mysterious. She recalled encountering a man in the hallway whose description resembled Ian’s.
If that person was really up to something, why limit it to throwing sulfuric acid?
Or was it because Elijah’s sudden appearance with reinforcements disrupted their plans?
What would be their next move?
Lost in thought, she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
Early the next morning, Elijah woke up in the hospital and found the room empty except for him.
As expected, Sheena did not come.
Feeling a bitter emptiness, he removed the IV and got out of bed. As he opened the door, he saw Ford in the corridor’s corner, sneakily talking on the phone.
“What? Ms. Sheena is at the police station? Wasn’t Mr. Nicholls at the scene last night? How could he let them take Ms. Sheena away? Alright, I understand. I won’t tell Mr. Freeman for now.”
