Chapter 367
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quite awkward due to that statement.
Seeing Elijah standing still, Sheena frowned, and her expression turned serious. “Hurry up. I I want to see th
wound.”
Elijah instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out she just wanted to see the wound, and he had misunderstood.
Wait a minute… see the wound?
Why would she suddenly doubt his injury? Did Nathaniel say something to her?
“My injury is fine. I’ve been applying medicine these past two days, and it’s almost healed,” Elijah reassured.
Sheena glared at him and shouted, “Take it off!”
Elijah remained motionless. “I’m wearing bandages. Even if I take it off, you won’t be able to see,”
“Remove them. We can reapply the medicine afterward,” Sheena insisted firmly.
Was this a non-negotiable demand?
Elijah did not speak, pondering how to get around this.
Sheena saw through his thoughts instantly and said, “Don’t even try to fool me. You must take it off!”
“Sheena, your concern for my injury warms my heart, but it’s late. Let’s rest early and check tomorrow,” Elijah suggested.
Sheena ground her teeth, suppressing the urge to tie him up and forcefully strip him. With patience, she spoke, “Earlier, you said you would unconditionally obey any of my commands. Was that another one of your empty promises?”
Elijah, confronted with his promise, fell silent. He reluctantly extended his hand toward the golden button on his suit, his slender fingertips gently circling each one, taking them off very slowly.
Sheena did not rush him, massaging her temples while waiting quietly. After all, there were only a few pieces of clothing, and he would get them off eventually.
Elijah removed his suit, placing it gently on her makeup table. After a few seconds of hesitation, he continued to unbutton his shirt.
Just as he undid the two buttons on his chest, he asked in a low voice, “Do I take off my pants?

Sheena was furious and retorted, “I want to see the wound! Why are you taking off
your pants?
“You were the one who said to take everything off just now,” Elijah mumbled, keeping his head low and only daring to complain in a hushed tone.

However, due to the silence in the room, Sheena heard every word loudly and clearly. “Elijah! If you mumble one more word, I’ll do you a favor! I’ll strip you completely naked and ask you to run fifty laps outside around the mansion!”
Oh, she was ruthless!
What would happen to his dignity if he went outside and ran naked?
Seeing Elijah clearly intimidated, Sheena smirked. “Or, I can have Ford and the others find a rope to tie you up. We can hang you from that tree outside the garden, stark naked, as a model for the night. Which option do you want to try?”
He did not want either! There was no way he would agree to that!
Elijah pressed his thin lips tightly. Not a single sound came out as he silently continued undressing.
As he was about to unbutton the last button, Elijah was truly unwilling to go on. Just as he was about to find an excuse, Sheena shot him a sharp warning glare.
Running laps outside was not an option!
Being hung up as a model was even less of an option!
However, refusing to undress for her to see the wound was also not an option.
He lowered his gaze, still pondering if there was a way to bluff his way through.
Under Sheena’s watchful gaze, he slowly peeled off the silk shirt, revealing a perfectly sculpted set of abdominal muscles. The bandages around the middle slightly spoiled the aesthetic, but his healthy honey-toned skin remained exceptionally appealing.
However, Sheena was currently too preoccupied to appreciate the view. As soon as Elijah finished undressing, she got up and approached him.
“Turn around.”
Elijah obediently turned around.
Sheena took matters into her own hands, forcefully tearing off his bandages. Due to the numerous layers, she worked quickly with considerable strength. As she reached the final layers, the bloodstains beneath the bandages became evident, causing Elijah to hiss because of the pain.
Hearing this, Sheena gentled her touch. After unraveling the bloodied bandages, a palm-sized burn on his lower back was revealed. She frowned deeply as she studied the injury with intense concentration.
