Chapter 600
Lionel gulped nervously, never imagining that he would make such a choice one day.
“This medicine is beneficial for your illness. Just listen to Ms. Sheena, please!”
Elliot, stubborn and unyielding, refused, “No way! I’ll ask you again, whose orders do
again, whose orders do you follow?”
“He should listen to me,” Sheena answered for Lionel, arching an eyebrow, and flashing a teasingly dominant smile. “You’re my man. Naturally, your subordinates should listen to me first!”
Elliot was left speechless by her illogical reasoning!
Sheena turned to Lionel, reassuringly saying, “Don’t be afraid. With me here, he can’t touch you. Go ahead.”
With her assurance, Lionel took a deep breath and confidently approached Elliot.
Elliot, emanating an icy aura, promptly kicked him as he approached.
Unable to dodge, Lionel yelped and held his leg, hopping in pain.
“Ouch! Ms. Sheena, he hit me!”
“You little tattletale! Now you’ve learned to complain in front of me?”
Elliot, furious, looked like he wanted to murder someone.
Lionel, thoroughly intimidated, backed away, seeking refuge behind Sheena.
Sheena sighed and had to ask Yosef for a rope, personally tying Elliot’s legs.
Lionel stepped forward, restraining Elliot’s hands, and called Yosef to administer the injection.
Despite being restricted, Elliot’s chilling presence made Yosef hesitant to get too close.
“I’ll do it,” Sheena said, reaching out.
Yosef sighed in relief, handing her the syringe.
Elliot met her gaze and said, “Nana, don’t force me.”
Sheena leaned in, gently kissing his lips, soothingly murmuring, “I’ll be gentle and try not to hurt you. This time, let’s get rid of the complications in your body. Next time, we’ll heal the virus inside
you.
“Nana…”
“Don’t you look forward to a future where we live a normal life together? Maybe we’ll even have a lively and cute baby. Our future will become incredibly beautiful from the moment we cure you.
Their eyes locked.

Elliot listened attentively as Sheena spoke, captivated by her clear, sparkling eyes.
Seizing the opportunity, Sheena carefully inserted the needle into the vein on his neck, gently pushing the medication into his body. Within a few seconds, the drug began to take effect.
Elliot became limp, eyelids heavy, and his once intense gaze grew weak, enveloped in weariness.
“Yosef, what’s happening?” Sheena turned to Yosef.
Yosef promptly examined Elliot’s conditio
“No worries. This blue serum induces fatigue right after injection. It’ll pass once he takes a nap.”
Sheena and Lionel both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lionel arranged Elliot on the bed and, along with Yosef, left the room.
Once everyone was gone, Sheena kicked off her shoes, lay on the bed, and cradled Elliot in her arms, letting him drift off to sleep. As she caressed his face, her gaze wandered to the banana trees outside the window.
She whispered, “Do you know when I fell for you? It was the day Old Man Freeman brought me into the Freeman family. You were the one who smiled at me that day, and since then, I couldn’t help but be infatuated with you. I…”
Elliot smiled when he heard her sweet and gentle voice. Memories of the past flooded back as she
narrated.
The banana leaves outside rustled in the wind.
Struggling to keep his fading consciousness, Elliot asked, “Nana, will you really break off our engagement and marry Nath-”
Before he could finish the question, he slipped into a gentle slumber.
Sheena continued gazing out the window, her expression unreadable.
“Sleep well. When you wake up, everything will be better, and our days ahead will only get brighter.”
