Chapter 994
Lionel leisurely caught up, “Indeed, getting a good night’s sleep is a luxury. If I keep coming home late like this, that little rascal of mine at home will cause quite a fuss.”
Nathaniel chuckled, “You’re dating someone?”
“Not quite. I’m taking care of a kid. Since she’s much younger than me, I’ll wait until she’s a bit
more mature.”
It sounded like he intended to pursue something serious with her.
Nathaniel remarked, “That’s great. After being single for so many years and seeing Elliot’s public display of affection, you finally have plans to date someone.”
Lionel looked at him with a strange expression and teased, “I’ve already got one at home. You’re the old bachelor now. When are you going to find someone?”
He remained silent, his face stern as he got into the car.
Lionel followed him into the car, saying, “Seriously, you need to find a wife soon. If you keep being single and wandering around in front of Sheena, even if Elliot isn’t worried, I am! Now that you’re. back, you should stop coming up with strange ideas and troubles. Isn’t it good to just be friends?”
Nathaniel’s ears were ringing from Lionel’s endless chatter.
“I’ve set my sights on that little rascal of yours. I’ll get out of the single life when you give her to

“Nathaniel!” Lionel shouted, almost flying into a rage.
“Thinking of stealing from me? It’s been a while since you’ve experienced a beating. Are you longing for it?”
Nathaniel stifled a laugh, and the atmosphere in the car remained harmonious.

At noon, Sheena came to visit.
Howard was lying on the nearby bed, intending to take a quick nap, while Phoebe was also dozing

Sheena entered quietly, sitting by Phoebe’s bedside, silently watching her.
She lamented at why a kind and Innocent girl like Phoebe had to endure this torture, especially from her own brother.
Romello was simply inhumane.
It infuriated Sheena more and more as she thought about it.
She got up, planning to leave quietly.
Suddenly, a pair of slender hands grabbed her hand from behind.
Sheena turned around in surprise to see Phoebe awake, staring at her with teary eyes, seemingly
moved.
“Phoebe?”
Phoebe suppressed a sob and said earnestly, “Sheena, please don’t spend any more money treating me. If the treatment doesn’t work, it’s fine. After all, you’re not from the orphanage anymore. Your in–laws will not be pleased if they find out you’ve been spending so much money on my illness, and they might make things difficult for you.
Sheena was completely baffled by Phoebe’s words.
Howard, who had been dozing lightly, also woke up.
He had heard Phoebe’s words and also exchanged a puzzled glance with Sheena.
