Chapter 333
Elijah glared at Ford angrily as he asked, “Did you just say Sheena spent the night at the police station last night?”
Ford was utterly taken aback!
John had called from the police station, asking them to keep it from Elijah so he could recover properly. Unfortunately, they were caught.
“Mr. Freeman, please don’t worry. With Mr. Lawson there, Ms. Sheena won’t suffer. She probably just needs to make a statement and will be released by noon.”
How could he not worry?
She spent the night in the police station, and there was no way she slept well because it was freezing inside!
Elijah wanted to leave, but Ford blocked his way. “Mr. Freeman, you can’t leave the hospital just yet. The doctor said the acid thrown at you wasn’t just concentrated sulfuric acid. They need to run tests, and you must stay for observation!”
Elijah ignored Ford. However, just as he took a few steps, he tasted blood in his throat. He coughed twice, finding a smear of bright red blood on his clenched fist, and his usually palé lips now had a small ring of red.
Ford was stunned when he saw Elijah coughing up blood, and he quickly dragged Elijah back to the room, intending to find a doctor.
“I’m fine. No need to panic,” Elijah stopped him.
“You’re coughing up blood! How can I not panic? We need to get you a thorough examination from the doctor.”
Elijah held him back, emphasizing, “Really, it’s nothing. I didn’t spit blood. I just bit my tongue in my haste. Don’t make a big deal out of it and tell Sheena. She has enough problems to deal with. I don’t want to burden her further.”
“Really? You just bit your tongue?” Ford was a bit skeptical.
Elijah nodded without a change in expression. Seeing Ford’s hesitation, he continued, “I’m a bit hungry. Can you get me some chicken soup?”
“The hospital cafeteria should have it. I’ll ask a nurse to bring it over for you.”
Ford was about to press the call bell when Elijah stopped him again.
“I don’t want hospital food. Do you mind getting the chicken soup from Douglas, the restaurant next door? Thank

Paul was busy handling Sheena’s affairs, and Elijah would be alone if he left too.
Elijah could tell Ford’s concern and reassured Ford, “Don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere. I know Sheena has Howard by her side, and Corey will help her too. I’ll stay in the hospital and not

meddle with the matter.”
“Alright.”
Elijah ordered a few more breakfast items, all requested to be made fresh.
Though not entirely convinced, Ford left after reminding him about a few things.
Elijah calmly nodded, but he was clenching his fists tightly under the sheet.
As soon as Ford was completely gone, Elijah rushed to the private restroom and forcefully vomited a mouthful of blood. His head was spinning, and he barely managed to support himself against the sink to avoid passing out on the spot.
Even with the injected modified drug, concentrated sulfuric acid only caused corrosive burns on the skin and should not have affected his body.
With that thought in mind, Elijah took off his shirt, removed the bandages from his back, and examined the wounds through the mirror. Despite the application of medicine, the wounds were still vividly red, and it was obviously worsening.
Elijah felt mixed emotions.
This was…
After cleaning the blood from his lips, he put his shirt back on, returned to the bed, and sent a message to Lionel.
Fifteen minutes later, Lionel hurriedly arrived.
