Chapter 577
Sheena became anxious.
When Elliot tried on the clothes just now, she was already feeling flustered. Moreover, baths usually involve being completely bare, and she could not guarantee she could keep her composure.
As she was about to find a reason to refuse, Elliot quickly cut her off, “It’s just a bath. If you don’t agree to this, I’ll be upset, and my angina might act up!”
He spoke with a mournful look, fingers clutching his chest, leaning against her as he softly whimpered.
Sheena sighed helplessly.
Ever since she knew about Elliot’s condition, he had become adept at playing the pity card.
Unfortunately, there were times when she fell for it.
“Stop pretending. I’ll go help you with the hot water.”
Elliot grinned mischievously.
Sheena got up and went to the bathroom to adjust the bathroom’s temperature. Then, she filled the bathtub with water and squeezed shower gel into the tub, stirring up bubbles.
When the bathroom was comfortably warm, Sheena called out to him, “It’s ready, come in.”
Wearing the cotton robe Sheena had recently bought, Elliot went to the bathroom.
Sheena checked the water temperature again; it was just right.
Turning around, she noticed him still standing there.
“Why haven’t you undressed?”
Elliot half–raised his arm, fingers hanging limp, gazing at her with a pitiful look.
“I don’t have the strength…”
“Look at how spoiled you are!” Sheena scowled, quickly undressing him as she grumbled, “I’ll let it slide since you’re sick now! But once you’re well, you better be ready for what’s coming!”
Elliot, hearing this, looked dejected. His eyes went lifeless as he slumped onto her, resting his chin on her shoulder. He mumbled weakly, “Why are you scolding me? This illness of mine might never get better…”
“Nonsense!” Sheena glared at him, annoyed, and pinched him hard on the back
Elliot winced in pain and buried his face into her shoulder, silently swallowing all the bitterness and
emotions.
Sheena adjusted his body, lifting his face with both hands as she earnestly said, “Elliot, I’ll always be

here for you! You’re not allowed to give up hope of living!”
She was determined to make him live healthily!
No matter the cost!
Elliot felt conflicted.

To comfort Sheena, he smiled and nodded, diverting the topic. He held her hand and gently placed it
on his chest.
In his eyes, a mischievous glint sparkled.
“Do you like it?”
Sheena nodded earnestly.
Elliot immediately frowned, once again looking despondent..
Was that it?
Feeling his sadness, Sheena kissed his thin lips, helped him into the bathtub filled with bubbles, and wet his shoulders and neck.
The foamy bubbles covered his honey–toned, sensual skin.
“Soak for 15 minutes, and I’ll come in to help you scrub your back.”
She dried her hands with a clean towel and turned to leave, but her wrist was suddenly seized by the man in the bathtub.
With force, he pulled her toward him.
“It’s warmer when we soak together!”
Caught off guard by the sudden strength, Sheena could not resist the unexpected pull and fell
backward into the bathtub.
Elliot, well–prepared, exerted force with his other hand, securely catching her, easing the impact as she fell into the bathtub. With his palm cushioning the fall, there was no particularly large splash when Sheena’s body entered the water.
However, the water level, previously well–adjusted, immediately overflowed due to the additional person, accompanied by a loud splashing sound.
Sheena lowered her head, looking at her now–soaked silk robe, gritting her teeth as she glared at him.
“Elliot! Can’t you behave yourself for one moment?”
He leaned back, lazily reclining, arms resting on the edges of the bathtub on both sides with his legs wide open.
It was as if he was challenging her to make him submit.
“Nana, it would be a pleasure to let you do whatever you want to me in this bathtub.” As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, showing a sly and mischievous grin.
