Chapter 230
If she did not release the pent–up frustration caused by the drug, she would feel extremely uncomfortable!
Even in this state, she was reluctant to throw herself at him.
Had her disgust for him reached such a deep level?
Elijah approached her, attempting to lift her again.
“Don’t touch me or I’ll kill you!”
Elijah’s hand hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to lift her. “Fine. You can do whatever you want when the effects wear off.”
Sheena lacked the strength to resist, her mind groggy. She could only let him carry her to the bathroom.
Elijah turned on the shower and filled the bathtub with cold water. Concerned about the abrupt temperature difference, he gently and slowly lowered her into the tub, ever so careful not to let his trembling hands drop her.
Once the water level reached her collarbone, he withdrew his sore arms.
As Sheena lay in the tub, feeling the gradual embrace of coolness, the fiery desire in her heart subsided a bit. Her furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and her body went limp, drifting into a deep sleep.
Elijah sat by the edge of the bathtub, keeping watch. He remembered the night before their divorce when he falsely accused her of drugging him and coldly mocked her the next day.
Now, karma had swiftly caught up with him.
With her personality, Sheena would not easily let this incident pass when she regained consciousness.
It was the payback he deserved.
Elijah pushed aside his thoughts and quietly observed Sheena’s peaceful sleeping face. Her cheeks were still flushed, and her entire being looked as if she were intoxicated, submerged in the water–a fatal temptation.
Nonetheless, he was not the type of man to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state. He averted his gaze, fully focused on monitoring Sheena’s condition, and found her skin remained abnormally red and hot.
Cold water alone was not providing relief quickly enough, and this approach was not sustainable.
Elijah got up and left the bathroom, searching the medicine cabinet for medication. After turning the entire house upside down, he found no sedatives or glucose solution.
Then, he headed to the garden and shouted, “Ford, Sawyer, and Owen! Come out!”
A minute later, Ford emerged from somewhere, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

“Why are you still awake at this hour and shouting like this?”
“Why are you alone?”
“Sawyer and Owen took Mr. Upton back. I don’t know what happened, but they have yet to return. Paul is with Mr. Lawson, and Ms. Sheena assigned John a task. So, it’s just me tonight.”
Since Sheena was skilled in self–defense, they usually would not stand guard late at night. If there were an emergency, Sheena would activate the alarm.
Elijah got straight to the point. “There are no sedatives and glucose solutions at home. I need you to go buy them.”
“Where do you expect me to find medicine at this late hour?”
“I don’t care how you do it, just make sure to get these two as soon as possible! This is crucial!
Elijah’s brow furrowed, his expression very serious.
Seeing Elijah’s earnest and anxious demeanor, Ford chose to believe him.
About half an hour later, Ford returned, handing over the two medications. “What kind of medicine is this? Clinics and small hospitals didn’t have them. I had to go to a major hospital. Hey…”
Elijah took the medicine from Ford and sprinted upstairs. After administering the medication to Sheena, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the bathtub as he watched over her.
After a night of frenzy, his energy was nearly depleted, and he unintentionally fell asleep.
When Sheena groggily woke up, the sun was just beginning to rise. The burning heat that had enveloped her body had disappeared entirely. Opening her eyes, she realized she was lying in the bathtub, and Elijah was slouched beside it, fast asleep.
