Chapter 441
Lionel quickly slapped his face, attempting to shake off his wandering thoughts. It was his first time accompanying Sheena on a solo mission, and he reminded himself to trust in her feelings for Elliot.
However, he made a mental note not to let Elliot find out about these details!
Inside the bedroom, Sheena delicately maneuvered the sharp edge of the dagger across Stanley’s face, moving from his neck down to his chest, finally stopping at his heart.
Stanley trembled, fearing the dagger might pierce his skin at any moment. Surrounded by an eerie and ominous atmosphere, he struggled to catch his breath.
Sheena, observing his fear, scoffed, and asked, “Afraid of a mere dagger? How dare a weakling like you challenge my Eli?”
Stanley, stung by her words, managed to calm down a bit. Deep down, he knew Sheena would not and could not kill him within the Jenkins family.
Seeing his composure return, Sheena guessed what he might be thinking. “That’s right, I won’t kill you. I prefer to torture, making sure the suffering is slow and painful. Today, I’m just here to teach you a lesson.”
“Eli is on the operating table because of you. While he’s enduring that, you’re lying comfortably in bed. I want you to stay awake, experiencing torture ten times worse than his!”
With a fierce glint in her eyes, she lightly pushed the dagger into Stanley’s chest, skillfully avoiding his heart. Blood gushed out, staining the pristine white bathrobe bright red. Stanley winced in pain.
“Rest assured, this minor injury won’t claim your life immediately.”
Sheena sheathed the dagger and revealed a packet of powder to Stanley. “This is itching powder. I’ll sprinkle it all over you. As you itch and suffer, your muscles will convulse intensely, and your blood will flow even faster. Who knows, if it continues all night, you might bleed to death from excessive blood loss. Should we give it a try?”
Her tone, deceptively innocent, carried cruel words.
Terrified, Stanley looked at the powder in her hands, shaking his head and making muffled sounds.
Sheena’s expression remained cold. Without wasting words, she sprinkled the powder all over his body. For areas that were inappropriate for her to reach, she called Lionel to assist.
Lionel was shocked to learn that Sheena intended to sprinkle the itching powder between Stanley’s legs: Nevertheless, he admired her tactics, giving her a thumbs up.
This move was truly malicious!
If Stanley could not endure it, he might end up with some serious issues!

At the hospital, Elliot successfully had the bullet removed from his chest after several hours of surgery. Fortunately, the bullet had deviated by a couple of inches, avoiding a direct hit to his heart. Still, due to excessive blood loss, he remained weak and needed proper rest.
Consequently, he was transferred to a regular ward.
“Nana…”
The anesthesia gradually wore off, and Elliot woke up in a haze, speaking with a hoarse and feeble voice as he scanned the surroundings.
The sterile ward was empty, and Sheena was nowhere to be found. He longed to see her, but there was no one else, just him lying on the hospital bed.
Elliot felt a sharp pain in his chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Sheena had promised to wait for him and listen to his explanation. She would not deceive him!
Ignoring the freshly bandaged wound on his chest, he struggled to get up, his feet feeling unsteady.
Leaning on the wall for support, he slowly made his way to the doorway.
Outside the corridor, silence prevailed. Apart from Elliot, it was deserted, with only the chilly wind occasionally brushing against his pale face, causing a sharp sting. His eyes turned red, and the discomfort in his chest became overwhelming, surpassing the pain of being shot.
