Elliot gently nuzzled into her neck, his weak voice carrying a hint of playfulness, “No… I still prefer hearing you callEli.”
Sheena cupped his face, kissing his blood–stained lips. “Alright, Eli.”
A faint, satisfied smile appeared on Elliot’s pale face.
Sheena carefully adjusted to support him and asked, “Can you walk like this?”
“Yes.”
The two of them slowly made their way toward the car, supporting each other.

Later, they drove back to the Jenkins estate.
Once Elliot lay on the bed, Sheena began to undress him.
“Have sself–control and let Lionel handle this.”
Sheena glared at him. “What’s this? Are you afraid that I’ll feast my eyes on your body and decide to devour you? Relax, with your severe injuries, I’m not that ruthless.”
“Oh, so I’m not that charming for you?” Elliot teased. There was a hint of melancholy in his tone.
Sheena suppressed a laugh and lightly kissed him as a reward.
Elliot seemed unsatisfied.
Was that all?
Sheena noted his gaze and smiled sweetly. In her dazzling eyes, there was an unusual seriousness.
“Eli, you’re hurt, and I would feel incredibly guilty, thinking I’m taking advantage of you. So absolutely not. You’re not allowed to try to seduceagain! “Sheena pouted, accusing him.
Lionel stood at the bedside, quietly observing the lovey–dovey scene. Even so, presence was obvious to the lovebirds, and they turned their icy gazes toward him.
In unison, they uttered, “Get out!”
Lionel chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head, “I thought Mr. Jenkins might need some help with the medicine. Since Ms. Sheena is here, it

seems like I’m not needed. You guys go ahead and chat!”

Once he left, Sheena resumed undressing Elliot. Unsurprisingly, the wound had reopened. Fresh blood seeped through layers of bandages, staining his shirt.
Sheena’s eyes reddened, scolding, “You lied toagain. How can you say it’s not serious?”
Elliot comforted, “Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
“You’re such a fool! Corey cares about me. Even if I really went hwith him, with Dad and Barbara protecting me, at most, he’d just givea scolding. But if he fights you, it’s different. Why did you
insist on intervening?”
Elliot rubbed her ear, which Corey had twisted. Though the redness had faded, his heart still ached. “Consider itbeing impulsive. It won’t happen again.”
Somewhere along the way, his feelings for Sheena had deepened. She was the woman he wanted to cherish for a lifetime, and he could not bear to harm even a single finger of hers.
No one, including her brothers, was allowed to hurt her!
Sheena knew he was not really listening. She sighed and glanced at the medicine Lionel left behind. Having no experience dressing wounds, Sheena had to rely on Elliot to guide her while he questioned whether he should do it himself.
After a few hours of struggle, they finally finished applying the medicine and redressing the wound.
