Elijah glared at Ford angrily as he asked, “Did you just say Sheena spent the night at the police station last night?”
Ford was utterly taken aback!
John had called from the police station, asking them to keep it from Elijah so he could recover properly. Unfortunately, they were caught.
“Mr. Freeman, please don’t worry. With Mr. Lawson there, Ms. Sheena won’t suffer. She probably just needs to make a statement and will be released by noon.”
How could he not worry?
She spent the night in the police station, and there was no way she slept well because it was freezing inside!
Elijah wanted to leave, but Ford blocked his way. “Mr. Freeman, you can’t leave the hospital just yet. The doctor said the acid thrown at you wasn’t just concentrated sulfuric acid. They need to run tests, and you must stay for observation!”
Elijah ignored Ford. However, just as he took a few steps, he tasted blood in his throat. He coughed twice, finding a smear of bright red blood on his clenched fist, and his usually palé lips now had a small ring of red.

Elijah nodded without a change in expression. Seeing Ford’s hesitation, he continued, “I’m a bit hungry. Can you getschicken soup?”
“The hospital cafeteria should have it. I’ll ask a nurse to bring it over for you.”
Ford was about to press the call bell when Elijah stopped him again.
“I don’t want hospital food. Do you mind getting the chicken soup from Douglas, the restaurant next door? Thank

Paul was busy handling Sheena’s affairs, and Elijah would be alone if he left too.
Elijah could tell Ford’s concern and reassured Ford, “Don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere. I know Sheena has Howard by her side, and Corey will help her too. I’ll stay in the hospital and not

Elijah calmly nodded, but he was clenching his fists tightly under the sheet.

Even with the injected modified drug, concentrated sulfuric acid only caused corrosive burns on the skin and should not have affected his body.
With that thought in mind, Elijah took off his shirt, removed the bandages from his back, and examined the wounds through the mirror. Despite the application of medicine, the wounds were still vividly red, and it was obviously worsening.
