Chapter 452
Sheena nodded obediently, opened the car door, and left, but she kept waving to him and looking back, her smile exceptionally sweet.
Elliot rolled down the window, waved in response, and smiled as he watched her. Until her figure disappeared into the building, Elliot could no longer suppress the metallic taste in his mouth, and he quickly shut the window. Then, he clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly.
His slender knuckles were stained with specks of blood, and Lionel’s face turned pale.
“Mr. Jenkins, are you coughing up blood again?”
“Go to the lab.”
Elliot elegantly wiped away the blood from his lips and hands with a tissue, staring at the bloodstain.
Yosef Elsher, also known as Professor Y, conducted another blood test on him.
Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the lab became tense.
“You were suppressing it well before. Why is it spreading again? Elliot, did you get injured again?”
Elliot remained silent.
Lionel chimed in, “Yesterday, Mr. Jenkins got shot on a mission, just two
centimeters away from his heart. To win back Ms. Sheena, he even waited at the door for her for a few hours after the surgery!”
Yosef looked serious, removed Elliot’s suit shirt, and examined his wounds. However, he was stunned to find the numerous hickeys all over Elliot’s body. “You knew you had just undergone surgery, lost a lot of blood, and your resistance would be low! Yet, you exposed yourself to the cold, walked around recklessly, and even engaged in… vigorous activity! Are you out of your mind?” Yosef scolded.
In front of the doctor, Elliot lost his usual arrogance and muttered in defense, ” You saw it… Nana did all of the work. I didn’t move.”
Lionel chuckled and exchanged a glance with the doctor.
Yosef had to reexamine the traces on Elliot’s body and could not help but express admiration.

“Impressive, Elliot! How does it feel to let the woman do all the work? Enjoyable, isn’t it?”
With all three present being a man, Elliot had no need to hide anything. With a serious expression, he replied, “It’s freaking amazing!”
Yosef and Lionel could not hold back their laughter.
Elliot’s expression turned icy, his threatening gaze piercing through both of them.
Yosef immediately composed himself, cleared his throat, and said, “Well… next time, show some restraint. Even if you’re the one below, such activities always promote blood circulation. You just had surgery. Your body is too weak, you know!”
“Sure,” Elliot responded lightly.
Yosef conducted a comprehensive examination of Elliot’s internal condition. After half an hour, the results were in, and the room’s atmosphere regained its seriousness.
In the deathly silence, Yosef sighed. “Due to the significant drop in your immunity, the virus is spreading too fast. It’s already affecting the blood supply to your heart. Elliot, you might develop angina in the future.”
Elliot stayed silent, lost in thought.
Lionel was very concerned and asked, “Is it life–threatening?”
“Not for now, but Elliot needs to control his emotions. I’ll prescribe medication, and if you have an episode, don’t endure the pain, just take a pill,” Yosef advised. He continued, “Additionally, my suppressant is currently effective for you. Although there’s no immediate danger to your life, if the virus continues to
spread, I can’t guarantee there won’t be other complications. Your life, for me, would then be an unknown variable.”
After delivering these words, the room fell into silence.
