Chapter 804
Corey was dressed lightly as if he had come specifically to suffer.
Even though the rain had stopped, he was still drenched from head to toe, his face pale and lips. slightly tinged with blue.
Corey had always been an imposing figure in Sheena’s heart, someone to admire, and he had never been subjected to such suffering before, let alone been caught in the rain like this.
Just as she was thinking about that, warm hands enveloped her from behind.
Elliot gently rested his chin on her slender shoulder, accompanying her in watching Corey outside the
gate.
“Nana, do you feel a bit sorry for him?”
Sheena remained silent.
Elliot continued, “He stood out there all night in the rain. Maybe there’s something important. Should we let him in and hear what he has to say? After all, he hasn’t signed the inheritance agreement yet, and you can’t completely cut off contact with him now.”
Sheena thought about it and found his reasoning sound.
If the matter of inheritance remained unresolved, Corey would continue to come to her. Hence, it
might be better to hear him out.
She walked to the bedside to grab her phone, intending to message Ford directly to allow Corey in.
However, just as she picked up the phone, it rang.
It was John. He explained that the call was regarding Sheila.
On the other end of the line, John said, “Miss, it rained heavily last night. Sheila knelt outside all night, and her body couldn’t take it. This morning, she had a high fever and fell unconscious. Her wounds are infected after being exposed to the rain the whole night. Should we save her?“,
Sheena immediately replied, “Of course! Get her a doctor and treat her as soon as possible. After she wakes up,
the previous rules still apply.”
“Yes, miss,” John replied. Then, he remembered something else and asked, “She spent the whole night reciting the scriptures, and she can’t speak as her throat is hoarse. Should she… continue reading?”
Sheena gave it a thought before saying, “Her voice is gone, but her hands are fine. If that’s the case, she can kneel and write. Alternating between the two methods should suffice.”
“Understood.”
After hanging up the phone, Sheena’s expression became serious again.

As Sheena looked towards Corey outside the gate, her gaze turned icy once again.
She sneered, “I thought he had some legitimate reason for coming here, but it turns out he knew Sheila couldn’t handle it and came to plead.”
Elliot lowered his gaze, choosing not to say anything more.
Sheena called Ford in and said, “Tell Corey that I never want to see him again, and I’ll never forgive him. Tell him to get lost! Don’t bother me again!”
She practically shouted the last two sentences, fuming with rage.
Ford obediently went downstairs to deliver the message.
At the door, he relayed Sheena’s words word–for–word to Corey with a heavy tone and heartfelt
sincerity.
“Mr. Corey, you should leave. Ms. Lawson won’t see you. She’s furious right now, and if you stay longer, it’ll only make things worse.”
Corey looked

gaze unwavering as it remained fixed on the bedroom window on the mansion’s
“Mr. Corey…”
Ford’s persuasion was futile, so he could only sigh and shake his head in resignation, leaving Corey
alone.
Not long after Ford left, Lionel and Jacintha casually approached, coincidentally seeing Corey standing alone at the door.
Corey’s attention remained focused on the bedroom window on the third floor, paying no mind to Lionel and Jacintha’s approach.
Jacintha had already learned about the Lawson family’s situation from Lionel and was apathetic about Corey.
“As Sheena’s older brother, you actually sided with the illegitimate daughter, tarnishing her reputation. You’re the one who hurt her the most. If it were me, I wouldn’t forgive you either!”
Jacintha did not hide her displeasure, scoffing at Corey.
Lionel did not intervene in her accusations against Corey. Instead, after she finished speaking, he looked at Corey seriously, a rare moment of sincerity in his gaze.
“Mr. Corey, do you want to know how to earn Sheena’s forgiveness?”
