Sheena did not spare a glance at Elijah. Instead, she warned Faye coldly, “Faye, this is your last chance! Make sure Erin behaves too! If you two don’t act right, I’ll hold your beloved Elijah responsible for everything! You can try and see how long Elijah can withstand your nonsense in his current condition!”
“No! It won’t happen again! Absolutely not!” Faye, with a pale face, shook her head.
Seeing that Faye had indeed been subdued, Sheena instructed Sawyer to escort her back to the Freeman mansion. Once Faye left, Ford hurriedly checked on Elijah.
“Ms. Sheena, Mr. Freeman has passed out! His breathing is getting weaker!”
Sheena was shocked to hear that and quickly shouted, “Quick! John, go get a doctor!”
“Alright! I’m on my way!”
Upon hearing the command, John immediately sprinted out the door. Then, Sheena instructed Ford and Owen to carry Elijah back to his room and prepare hot water bags to warm him up.
Recalling the whole bucket of icy water and glancing at the bewildered Owen, Sheena was furious. Owen, you’re suspended for a year with half a year’s salary deduction. Get the hell out of here!”
Owen was at a loss and about to plead, but Ford signaled him not to add fuel to the fire.

Ignoring him, Sheena focused on observing Elijah’s condition. Despite using hot water bags, his body remained cold, and his face was unnaturally pale. It was as if life were slowly draining from him.
“Why isn’t John back yet?” Sheena checked Elijah’s breathing, which was extremely weak.
If they waited any longer, Elijah might have already gone cold by the time John returned!
Sheena removed the blanket, helping Ford lift Elijah. “Owen, come carry him downstairs. Ford, bring the car around. We’re heading to the hospital!”
“Yes, Ms. Sheena!”
Owen instantly perked up and lifted Elijah onto his back, with Sheena supporting him from behind to prevent him from falling. After placing Elijah in the back seat, Ford quickly started the car, speeding
away.
Owen sat in the passenger seat, and Sheena occupied the back, with Elijah’s head resting on her lap.
Elijah lay peacefully, his expression serene as Sheena gently stroked his face, which was nearly void of warmth. If she did not know he was still breathing weakly, she might have thought him lifeless.
“Elijah, you’re not allowed to die! As long as your debt isn’t fully paid, you’ll owe me forever! If you dare to die, I’ll make the entire Freeman family die with you!”
Sheena practically shouted these words.

Ford and Owen in the front were startled by her outburst. They knew that she was capable of such ruthless actions if she were truly angered.
In Elijah’s seemingly unconscious state, he appeared to have heard her words. Suddenly, he coughed violently, a hacking sound that tore through the air, but he remained unconscious.
Sheena helped him by patting his back to ease the coughing. She was relieved that he showed some reaction as it meant he would not die just yet.
“Ford, speed up,” Sheena urged.
Ford accelerated, running numerous red lights along the way, and finally reaching the hospital.
(Note: This behavior is not recommended in real life and is only for the sake of the plot.)
After Elijah was wheeled into the emergency room, Sheena sat in the waiting area with mixed emotions. Just moments ago, she had almost lost control of her emotions in the car. When she discovered she had been drugged last night, she truly wanted to kill him. However, she panicked when she saw him on the brink of being tortured to death.
Then again, why should she feel that way?
For Jennifer’s sake, Elijah allowed Leon to hijack the plane to kill her.
After their divorce, she had intended to part ways and become strangers for the rest of their lives…
