Chapter 630
“Ms. Sheena, take care of yourself. Now, you’re the pillar keeping Mr. Jenkins together,” Lionel expressed his concern.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile,” Sheena reassured him
She assigned tasks to Lionel, saying, “After I leave, move into E&S Haven as well. Take care of him with Howard. In my absence, his emotions will likely be fragile, so help me calm him down.”
She continued, “Also, since he can’t see, he won’t be able to handle any National Investigation Bureau tasks for a while. Make sure things to handle things with Romello. During this time, nobody except my brothers can see Elliot. Not even Santiago Jenkins.”
Lionel hesitated before asking her, “Are you planning to go overseas and deal with Nathaniel alone?”
Sheena readily admitted, nodding.
“I’ll go with you. Consider it as bringing a bodyguard along. It shouldn’t be a problem,” Lionel responded decisively without much thought.
Sheena was a bit surprised. “You’re not staying to be with Eli? I can tell he really appreciates you, treating you like his own brother. I’ll be very relieved if you stay and take care of him.”
“Yes, I’ve long considered Mr. Jenkins as my elder brother too, but this trip is too dangerous. He will only have hopes for the future if you’re alive. I want to protect your safety on his behalf.”
Sheena hesitated. “But… What about Eli?”
“Don’t worry about him. With your brothers here, he won’t be in any danger. Ms. Sheena, please don’t refuse. Let me accompany you!
Seeing his determination, Sheena agreed.
After making arrangements, Sheena contacted Nathaniel again, purchasing two tickets for the earliest flight to Laubabwe’s capital, Kyafa, the next morning.
In the evening, she returned to Elliot’s ward.
Howard was sitting by the bedside, dozing off.
Sheena tiptoed in, but Howard, being a light sleeper, woke up.
“He hasn’t woken up yet, but he called your name several times in his sleep. Seems a bit restless.”
“Howard, thank you for your help. Get some rest. I’ll stay with him.”
Howard was concerned for her, saying, “You have an early morning flight tomorrow, so you should grab some sleep instead of looking after him. I’m here; you should go rest.”
“I can’t sleep. Maybe I’ll manage to sleep after staying with him for a while.”

“Alright, I won’t disturb you then,” Howard relented, getting up and leaving.
He closed the door behind him to give her some privacy.
Elliot lay on the hospital bed, still asleep. Even though he had not awakened, he was frowning as if he was troubled by something.
Sheena carefully lifted the blanket, slid in beside him, and gently moved him into the cradle of her arms. Her fingertips delicately smoothed the furrowed lines on his forehead.
As if recognizing a familiar scent, Elliot unconsciously nestled closer, but his brow furrowed even tighter.
Sheena stroked the back of his head, planting tender kisses on his forehead, softly comforting him, I’m here. I’m sleeping with you.”
He clutched the hem of her shirt tightly, his hoarse voice murmuring in his dreams, “Don’t go… Don’t agree to Nathaniel’s conditions… Don’t marry him, Nana… Don’t…”
“No, I won’t. I’ll only marry you. You’re the only one I want in my life,” she repeated tirelessly, pressing her face against his forehead.
With the pleasant fragrance emanating from her, Elliot’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and he slept peacefully.
Sheena maintained her half–leaning position at the bedside and eventually drifted into slumber.
Several hours later, just as dawn was breaking, Lionel contemplated knocking on the door. However, fearing it might disturb Elliot, he decided to open it silently.
The heartwarming scene on the hospital bed greeted him. Unfortunately, he had to be the bad guy and ruin the moment.
