Chapter 421
Elliot winced as Sheena’s foot landed a solid blow to his side, causing his entire body to jerk. Clutching his side, he had not even processed the intense pain when Sheena swiftly grabbed a decorative vase from the bedside table, aiming to smash it over his head.
Reacting quickly, Elliot covered his head and arched his back. He did not retaliate or attempt to dodge; he just let her vent her frustration.
Sheena swung the vase three times at his back. Due to her intoxicated state, her grip was loose, and the blows lacked real force. Nevertheless, the impact of the hard porcelain on his spine still stung.
Elliot was about to be traumatized by this experience. He was annoyed and thought he would never keep anything potentially dangerous on his bedside table again!
After a few swings, Sheena forcefully slammed the vase against the corner of the table as if she was not satisfied, shattering it into shards. Then, with determination, she slashed him with the sharp tip.
“Sheena!”
Worried that she might injure herself, Elliot had no choice but to dodge. Yet, due to his hesitation, he
did not move quickly enough and ended up with a shallow cut on his right clavicle.
The skin bore a small, quickly bleeding wound, staining his white shirt collar.
This was not Sheena’s initial intention. She had aimed for her neck but misjudged, slashing his
collarbone instead. While she was preparing for another strike, Elliot seized the opportunity, swiftly
grabbing her wrist and disarming her.
Sheena glared at him with resentment, saying, “Elliot! Are you deliberately trying to scare me with this mask? I want to see how ugly your face is without it!”
“Wait, I…‘
Before he could explain, Sheena rammed her forehead into his, catching him off guard. Taking advantage of his loosened grip, she broke free and forcefully removed his mask.
Elliot was left dumbfounded, not expecting her to be this strong even while drunk!
With the mask off, he stood with his back turned, too anxious to face her.
Yet…
Elliot waited for a few seconds, and the woman behind him, who had been loud and confrontational, suddenly fell silent, and the air grew still. He cautiously turned halfway, glancing out of the corner of his eye.
Elliot found Sheena sprawled across the bed, completely unconscious, a reddened area on her forehead indicating the impact of their earlier head collision, which seemingly knocked her out.
Even though he was relieved, he still felt shaken by the recent events. His clavicle throbbed with pain,

and as he pressed on it, the fresh blood on his fingertips bore witness to the recent altercation.

Elliot’s eyes reddened. Sheena’s assault left him aching all over. He felt unfairly treated. After all, he had been attentively taking care of her while she was intoxicated, only to be attacked!
From learning about her crush in the morning to discovering it was Colin and finally being beaten by her, the accumulated despair of the day became overwhelming. His nose tingled, and tears welled up in his eyes.
As Elliot stared at the blood on his fingertips, Sheena, who had her eyes half–closed, quietly observed him for a long while.
Elliot vaguely sensed her gaze, and he turned around, only to meet her gaze.
Why was she… looking at him like that?
Did she recognize him?
Nervously gulping, Elliot’s brain raced, thinking of plausible excuses.
Before he could say anything, Sheena abruptly stood and cupped his face in her hands, laughing joyfully.
“I’m dreaming again! As expected, I can only see you in dreams. Although your face seems a bit different this time, you’re still handsome…‘

Sheena suddenly burped, and Elliot could smell the strong scent of alcohol. His mind went blank as he watched her.
“I don’t care. This is my dream, and I will decide how it goes!” Sheena continued to move closer, her face filled with mischief.
Taking advantage of his dazed state, she lightly kissed his cold, thin lips.
Elliot was stunned, feeling the soft sensation on his lips lingering.
Had she just… initiated a kiss?
Sheena grinned with satisfaction, her eyes still hazy, clearly still drunk.
