Chapter 590
Elliot let out a cold snort, refusing to even look at her, radiating an icy aura.
Sheena, equally unyielding, swiftly opened the wardrobe, grabbed a random white shirt, crumpled it, and forcefully stuffed it into his mouth. Then, she carried him and mercilessly tossed him onto the large bed.
The bed was soft, and Elliot was not hurt by the impact. After rolling around on the bed for a bit, he made a few muffled sounds, glaring at her.
Sheena paid him no mind. Instead, she picked up a leather belt from the coat rack, securing his
restless ankles. She then raised his hands above his head and used another belt to tie them to the corner post of the bed.
“Don’t move! Struggling will hurt, and if you bruise yourself, I’ll have to apply ointment!”
Elliot was fuming with anger, and his chest heaved violently as he shot angry glares at her, a level of fury he had never directed at her before.
Seated on the edge of the bed, Sheena calmly observed his vain struggles.
She soothed his chest with one hand and taunted, “Your intense glare won’t hurt me, so don’t waste your effort. Since you’re unwilling to listen to my explanation, I’ll have to enforce it my way.
“I hate being misunderstood the most, so don’t dream of accusing me blindly!”
Under her calming touch, Elliot’s breathing gradually steadied, though his wrists remained restless.
She sighed and added earnestly, “Listen carefully. I’ll explain it once. You’re not a burden, nor have you held me back. Since I chose you, I’m committed to being with you, no matter how difficult it may be.”
“As for Nathaniel, I only had admiration and respect for him during my youth. However, those feelings have long since disappeared. He caused you to suffer from the virus, and my views on him are nothing but disgust and a deep–seated hatred.”
“We’ve been through a lot recently. Are you still unaware of my feelings for you? Why would you think I’m choosing Nathaniel due to a change of heart? Do I seem like such a fickle woman?”
“I did meet him tonight, and it’s true that I arranged for Corey to bail him out. He claimed to know a way to cure the virus within you. It has nothing to do with anything else. I just wanted to save your life.”
As Sheena finished her explanation, Elliot gradually stopped struggling. He lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes wet with glistening droplets. As he was bound to the bed, his handsome face took on a pitiful appearance as if he were being bullied, and Sheena resembled a domineering thug.
Sheena caressed his face, tears shimmering in her eyes, and her gaze softened.

“Are you still angry?”
He shook his head.
Sheena removed the shirt from his mouth and massaged his slightly sore cheeks.
“Don’t you have any questions for me?”
His Adam’s apple rolled lightly, and he uttered, “I’m sorry.”
Sheena chuckled. “Silly boy, I forgive you. In an argument, it’s unavoidable to say some unpleasant things. Don’t take them to heart.”
How could she possibly argue with a patient?
Elliot felt much more relieved, wanting to snuggle into her embrace, but then he remembered his hands were still bound.
“Nana, untie me.”
Once freed, he immediately wrapped his arms around her petite waist, contentedly burying himself in
her embrace.
“Are you sure you have nothing you want to ask me?” Sheena repeated.
After some thought, Elliot’s gaze regained seriousness. He left her embrace and locked eyes with her.
“I found out that you visited Nathaniel in prison about half a month ago. Did he tell you about my
illness?”
Sheena was stunned.
Lionel had mentioned that Elliot had issued a gag order. It was a matter of organizational discipline, and the consequences for leaking information would be severe.
Considering this, she replied firmly, “Yes.”
Elliot frowned, logically analyzing the situation, and asked, “Even Yosef has no solution for the S404. How could Nathaniel know a cure? Even if he does, he’s not one to take losses. Did he use this information to exchange something with you?”
Sheena froze, taking a deep breath.
Her man was truly remarkable, quickly catching the main point with just a couple of sentences, leaving her in a dilemma!
