Chapter 378
While explaining, Elijah pulled his shirt, revealing the bandages on his back, “I did get a minor injury during the day, but as you can see, it’s been treated and bandaged.”
Sheena remained silent.
On the other hand, Gabrielle stared at Elijah’s face with genuine interest, exclaiming, “Nana, who is he? He’s so handsome! Your taste is excellent. The men around you are all gorgeous!”
Since Gabrielle had not seen Elijah’s face clearly the last time at Eros Bar, this was her first time seeing his full face, and she could not take her eyes off him.
Sheena responded indifferently, “He’s my servant.”
“Just a servant?” Gabrielle‘

eyes lit up. “Well, Nana, can I borrow him for a few
“No.” Sheena frowned, almost rejecting her without a second thought.
Seeing Gabrielle’s eyes seemingly glued to Elijah, Sheena felt annoyed and glared at Elijah. “Put on your clothes properly! You look so sloppy. Also, go upstairs and put on your jacket before coming back down.”
“Alright.”
Elijah nodded obediently, never glancing at Gabrielle, and quickly buttoned up his shirt before heading upstairs.
Gabrielle tugged at Sheena’s sleeve, pouting and unwilling to give up. “I didn’t expect your servant to be so good–looking. You’re usually busy with work and don’t have time for me. Nana, just let him accompany me for a couple of days!”
Sheena’s eyebrows tightened further. “No. It’s not negotiable.”
“Nana…”
“Let’s eat!”
Gabrielle pouted even more, reluctantly following Sheena into the dining room. After the meal, Sheena selected a relatively clean room on the third floor for Gabrielle and chatted with her for a while before retiring to her room.
At 6 a.m. the next day, Lionel printed out the information Nathaniel had confessed and personally delivered it to Ocean Avenue. Due to the drugging

incident the last time, Lionel was afraid of facing Ford and the others, expecting a torrent of scolding, so he stood outside the back door of the mansion waiting.
Elijah personally came out to receive it. Glancing at the information, his
expression gradually turned serious, and he went straight upstairs and knocked on Sheena’s door.
He knocked for a while, but there was no response from inside.
Was she sleeping too deeply?
After some thought, Elijah decided that it was indeed too early, and he could wait until she woke up. However, just as he turned away, Sheena appeared from the corridor, dressed in casual attire, holding a small box in her hands.
“Did you go out?” Elijah asked.
Sheena appeared nonchalant. “No. I just went to the doorstep to pick up a delivery.”
With so many bodyguards in the mansion, when did she ever personally pick up a package?
What could be so important to make her do so?
Elijah found it strange but did not inquire further.
Sheena walked past him, unlocking her room door. “If there’s something, come in and talk.”
He followed her inside, handing over the information Lionel brought and explaining, “Nathaniel’s confession. Take a look.”
“Okay.” Although she responded verbally, Sheena did not even glance at the document Elijah handed her. Instead, she was entirely focused on unwrapping the delivered package.
As the box opened, revealing an ointment tube, she handed it to him. “Take this.”
Elijah stared at her in shock.
Did she buy this for him?
