Chapter 528
“It’s… nothing…” Elliot spoke weakly, his voice feeble and strained, attempting to both endure and
conceal his pain.
Sheena knew him all too well.
Despite his penchant for pretending to be pitiful for sympathy in the past, he was always reluctant to share his genuine suffering to avoid worrying her.
The more he resisted, the worse Sheena felt.
Noticing his hand clutching his chest, she asked, “Is it your angina? Do you have the medicine?”
Elliot, in agony, broke into a cold sweat and shook his head.
Sheena rushed out of the meeting room and approached Lionel, who was standing nearby. “Where’s the medicine to alleviate his angina?”
“It should be in the office.”
“Get it immediately! Quick!”
“Y–Yes!”
Startled by her anxious expression, Lionel realized the urgency and sprinted upstairs.
Just as Sheena was about to return to Elliot, a dull thud came from behind.
Elliot had fallen from the office chair. The pain in his chest intensified. He curled up on the floor, trembling uncontrollably, veins bulging in his neck.
“Eli!”
Sheena rushed to him, kneeling beside him, carefully moving him into her lap, and massaging his chest in an attempt to alleviate his suffering.
Lionel quickly returned with the medicine. Yet, even after taking a pill, Elliot’s condition did not improve much.
Relief from symptoms would take time.
Elliot, with a pale, weakened face, lay in Sheena’s embrace, enduring the pain until the medication took effect.

st time witnessing Elliot’s angina attack. He paced back and forth, hating able to bear the suffering for him.
Unable to watch any longer, Sheena rolled up her sleeves and offered her slender arm to Elliot’s mouth.

“Eli, don’t resist and just bite me! Let me share the pain with you!”
Elliot clenched his lips, steadfastly refusing, gripping her sweaty palm, and intertwining their fingers.
Lionel crouched down, promptly rolling up his sleeves and extending his arm.
“Mr. Jenkins, bite me instead. Ms. Sheena is delicate, but I’m tough. I can handle the pain!”
Elliot buried his face in Sheena’s embrace, refusing to bite Lionel’s arm.
Seeing his stubbornness, Sheena sighed.
How much longer would he endure this pain on his own?
She struggled to regain her composure and calmly looked at Lionel.
“He’s waiting until the medication takes effect. This isn’t a sustainable solution. Can we give him a pain–relief injection?”
Lionel was frustrated. “I’ve never seen Mr. Jenkins having an attack before. I don’t know!”
Hence, he left Sheena to take charge.
“Come over and help me carry him. We’re going to the lab right now!”
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the lab.
The painkiller gradually stabilized Elliot’s breathing, and he fell into a tired slumber.
Sheena stood by his bedside, gently stroking the furrowed space between his brows.
Yosef entered, handing her a record of all the previous lab results.
“In the future, please be careful with his emotions. No extreme highs or lows. Each time he has angina, his energy is drained by the pain. When he’s weak, the virus spreads faster. Also, the painkiller injection has side effects. If used frequently, it’ll double the harm to his body.”
Sheena nodded, listening attentively while checking Elliot’s health data.
The glaring red flags in the test results were distressing.
She took a deep breath, swallowing her guilt, and then asked Yosef, “Is there really no way to deal with this virus? Even if we can’t cure it completely right now, we should at least find a way to extend his time.”
