Due to the stubborn $4,0%, virus in his body, even if Sheena were to conceive, there was a high chance of passing the virus onto their child.
It would only bring suffering to such a small life…
Elliot could not bear to let Sheena take medication, and he feared she might notice something unusual. Since there were medications available for men with minimal side effects, he always secretly took the medicine beforehand, keeping it hidden from Sheena.
Sheena was unaware of his concerns. She just recalled her time in Farlem when she drank alcohol for three days straight, resulting in a period of recovery for her body. She wondered if there might be some lingering health issues from that time that prevented her from conceiving
“Eli, you’re strong and healthy. Compared to you, I’m a bit weaker. That’s why I want to go to the hospital for a full–body checkup so that I can entrust a healthy version of myself to you in the future. It’ll put my mind at ease.”
Elliot was stunned, and his face gradually paled as he felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
Sheena wanted to entrust a healthy version of herself to him, but he… probably would not have the chance to return a healthy version of himself to her.
Moreover, he might never have the chance to live a healthy life.
He suddenly felt guilty, aching as if his body was being pricked by needles.
Did he, by any chance, hinder her?
Sheena noticed his troubled expression and gently stroked his cheek, asking, “Eli, what’s wrong?”
Elliot forced a smile. “It’s nothing. Regular checkups are good, but I have a mission, so I can’t accompany you this time. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. When you leave, I’ll return to the Lawson estate for a few days, and I can ask Phoebe or Barbara to accompany me,” Sheena assured.
Elliot nodded, suppressing the melancholy in his heart.
“Oh, Eli, the border situation doesn’t seem stable. Are you going there for a battle?” Sheena inquired.
“Yes.”
“Then be careful ampleting the mission is secondary. Your safety comes first. Take care of yourself, and please don’t hurt!”
Elliot nodded weakly.
When Howard returned to the mansion, the aroma of the meal managed to reach him through the small garden. It felt strangely wonderful as if a loving wife was waiting for him to come home to

dinner, a person depending on him, missing him….
It was a nice feeling
Upon opening the door, he found the dining table already set with steaming hot dishes.
Phoebe brought the last pot roast dish to the table and inexplicably sneezed a few times. When the turned around, she saw Howard’s handsome face.
“You’ve come back just in time. I was worried the food would get cold if you were late.
Howard took his seat, still thinking about her sudden sneezing
“I heard about the incident at Bana during the day. Lisa even splashed dirty water on you. Were you scared?”
Phoebe chuckled. “It’s no big deal. I’m used to it from childhood. The more they bully me, the stronger I become! As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.
Their eyes met, and Howard could not help but be amused by her resilient spirit, feeling a subtle stirring in his heart.
The next day, at the Upton family, Katie’s bodyguard, Angus, received news and knocked on Katie’s door.
“Miss, the person you sent to monitor Mr. Howard at the Lawson estate has returned.”
Katie was putting on earrings and gave him a puzzled look.
“What did he say? Spit it out.
“He said that Mr. Howard has been sending a girl down the mountain every day. The girl then takes the van from there. Our informant doesn’t know the girl, but it seems she might be a celebrity. It looks like she’s living with Mr. Howard.”
A loud thud could be heard..
