Chapter 339
The doctor, Anthony Cardille, was stunned by her sudden appearance. After Sheena identified herself, Anthony promptly pulled up Elijah’s medical records on the computer.
“This patient is generally healthy, aside from being a bit physically weak,” Anthony said. The test report was reprinted, and he handed it over to Sheena.
Sheena scanned through it carefully. Then, she asked, “How about the burn on his back?”
“It’s a typical burn from concentrated sulfuric acid. Applying medication for a while should do the trick. Just be cautious not to get it wet. However, after the wound heals, it’s likely to leave a scar, which might not look very pretty.”
Sheena went through the test report again, and it indicated that Elijah’s body had no major issues.
Could it be this straightforward?
If so, why was Elijah acting so unusually today?
Sheena felt something was off but could not quite put her finger on it.
Sheena stared at Anthon and emphasized, “Is this really the case, Dr. Cardille? Don’t hide anything from me.”
Anthony maintained a neutral expression, seeming sincere. “Yes, Ms. Sheena. These are the examination results for Mr. Freeman.”
Maybe she was overthinking things?
Shaking off her thoughts, Sheena’s expression turned serious as she reminded Anthony, ” Don’t tell Mr. Freeman about my visit here.”
Anthony understood and nodded in agreement.
After Sheena left, Anthony pulled up another comprehensive test report on his computer screen. He sighed as he observed several significantly abnormal indicators in the report.
Elijah had given him too much!
Exiting Anthony’s office, Sheena did not linger and headed straight back to Ocean Avenue. Ian spotted her getting out of the car and quickly approached from the shadows.
“Miss, I heard you were at the police station last night. Did they give you a hard time?”
Before he could finish, John stepped forward and punched him.
Ian grunted, taking a punch that left him dazed. He staggered back a couple of steps, a bruise quickly forming on his cheek.
Sawyer felt it was not enough and clenched his fist, saying, “Ms. Sheena saved you, and you betrayed her? I might as well finish you off!”
“Wait!” Ian raised his hand to stop John, looking at Sheena. He explained, “Miss, I didn’t betray you. Please let me explain. If I wanted to harm you, why would I come back and contact Paul?”

Sheena coldly glanced at him and said, “Come inside.”
Ian obediently followed her into the living room. Once Sheena was seated on the sofa, he stood quietly beside her, ready to report.
“Last night, it seemed like I spotted that man in black again at the bar, the one from the sketch I gave you. When I saw him leaving, I chased after him. I was in a hurry and forgot to report in advance.”
Sheena, maintaining her grace and composure, poured herself a cup of tea without much. expression. Her tone was calm as she asked, “Did you catch up with him?”
“No,” Ian sounded disheartened. “I chased him out of Eros Bar, but he was too fast. I couldn’t catch up. However, I feel these recent events are related to Mr. Nicholls. After all, he invited you to the bar, and he was probably responsible for this.”
Sheena remained silent, not arguing. She took a sip of tea before saying, “Noted.”
Glancing at Ian, she noticed the injury on his face. “Sawyer is short–tempered. Don’t mind him. How’s your face?”
