Chapter 599
The entire room fell into silence.
Lionel sighed quietly.
Sheena, sitting beside Elliot, was baffled.
“Why? The illness has been bothering you for so long. Don’t you want to treat these complications. and lead a normal life?”
Elliot did not want to explain. He merely held her hands tightly with a determined look in silence.
Seeing his demeanor, Sheena seemed to understand something and motioned for Lionel and Yosef to leave.
“I need to talk to Eli alone. Close the door when you leave, but don’t go too far,” Sheena instructed.
Lionel and Yosef left.
Once the room was completely quiet, Sheena asked, you everything?”
“Yes,” Elliot replied without hesitation.
Sheena sighed.
d you capture Nathaniel? Did he already tell
It seemed that nothing could escape Elliot’s keen awareness. Despite his illness, his mind was sharp, and he could not be easily fooled.
Sheena clasped his hands in return. “Don’t believe him. L…”
“His condition was for you to break off our engagement and marry him, right?” Elliot interrupted her, his tone icy.
“Eli, you need to understand that Nathaniel…”
Elliot furrowed his brows, cutting her off again. “Just answer me. Is what he said true?”
Sheena hesitated, lowered her head, and sighed, “Yes.”
Elliot lowered his head, concealing the surging resentment and murderous intent in his eyes.
“He wants me to sacrifice your future happiness to regain my health. I’d rather die!”
Sheena immediately covered his mouth, scolding him, “Don’t say such nonsense! No more talk about death, understand?”
He held her hands, gripping them tightly, his expression serious. “Nana, if the cost of staying alive is losing you and watching you marry that scumbag, then I truly prefer death!”

Elliot shook his head.
He would not compromise on this matter.
“I won’t take Nathaniel’s medicine! Never!”

Elliot did not want to hear it. He withdrew his hands from hers, turning his head away with a stern expression, obviously implying that there was no room for negotiation.
Sheena knew his stubborn nature. Once he made up his mind, nothing could sway him.
Opting not to persuade him further, she stood up, casting an apologetic look at him.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t bring you to the lab today to discuss this matter. If you’re unwilling, I’ll have to
use force.”
“Nana!” Elliot guessed her intentions and tried to grab her wrist.
However, she evaded him by stepping back, turning to the door, and calling out, “Lionel, come in.”
The door opened promptly, and Lionel peeked in, his face filled with surprise.
“Ms. Sheena, that was quick! Did you manage to convince Mr. Jenkins already?”
Sheena did not respond. Instead, she pointed at Elliot.
“Hold him down. Don’t let him move.”
“Nana!” Elliot called out again, his expression growing colder.
Lionel was stunned, clinging to the doorframe.
“I–I must have misheard, right? Are you resorting to force?”
Sheena took a deep breath, standing her ground. “You heard right. Hold him down.‘
Nervously, Lionel entered the room but was halted by a fierce look from Eliot.
“Don’t you dare!” Elliot glared at Lionel and taunted, “Don’t forget whose side you’re on and whose orders you should follow!”
“Mr. Jenkins, 1…”
