ymore when you finally win over Ms. Sheena?”
Chapter 335
Elijah glared at Lionel right after he said that.
Realizing he had been too hasty and said something wrong, Lionel promptly slapped himself across the face twice, not holding back on the force. His lips were cut, and blood trickled down. Though his eyes were red, his face clearly displayed annoyance, revealing he was not entirely sorry for his actions.
Elijah did not argue with Lionel and just weakly responded, “I’ll go back, but I need to handle things on Sheena’s end first. Ask Lance to go back and check for any antidote to suppress S404 temporarily. Also, see if you can find an effective scar removal cream.”
Lionel, somewhat dumbfounded, exclaimed, “Considering the circumstances, you’re worried about whether the wound will leave a scar or not? Is appearance more important than your life?”
Elijah gave him a cold, piercing look, and his tone icy. “Mind your own business and continue.” Lionel took a deep breath and slapped himself again, causing his face to swell further.
Since Elijah did not ask him to stop, Lionel was about to continue again. However, Elijah suddenly said, “Enough.”
Lionel rubbed his sore face, feeling unfairly treated. He thought Elijah was heartless and ungrateful. All Elijah cared about was chasing after Sheena, not those who risked their lives with him!
Elijah, oblivious to Lionel’s silent complaints, lay back on the hospital bed, feeling a bit drained after the conversation.
Lionel, still standing there, held his ground with a bruised ego.
The room fell into an awkward silence until Ford entered, breaking the tension. Spotting Lionel, Ford seemed slightly surprised as he placed the packed breakfast on the bedside table.
“When did you get here?”
Lionel remained silent.
Ford approached him, taking a quick glance.
The sight startled him!
“What happened to your face? How did you get these injuries? Who hit you?”
Ford looked at Elijah in disbelief. He was currently a weak patient, so he could not possibly cause such harm to Lionel
Lionel, holding back his anger, grabbed a tissue from the bedside table to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He grumbled, “Nothing, I was stupid and did it to myself!”
Ford gulped.
Lionel beat himself up? Impressive!
Feeling a bit uneasy, Ford decided not to comment further and opened the takeout box of soup and snacks for Elijah.
Chapter 335
Elijah sat up and unexpectedly shot a glance at Lionel. “Why are you standing here? Don’t you have anything to do?”
Lionel quickly caught on. “Oh right, I’ve got things to do. I’ll get going! Rest well, Mr. Freeman. Ford, thank you for looking after him!”
“Not a problem!” Ford replied cheerfully.
Half an hour later, Maurice personally went to the luxurious single room to escort Sheena out.
“Ms. Sheena, you’ve endured a night of discomfort here. You’re free to go now.”
Seeing his overly eager smile, Sheena found it odd and asked, “No paperwork this time?”
Maurice merely chuckled.
