Chapter 338
Thinking about the breakfast on the bedside table that he had not opened, he reached out to grab it, his
tone indulgent as he offered, “Sheena, you haven’t eaten, right? I ordered an extra breakfast. It was
made by a well–known chef from Douglas. It’s delicious. Would you like to have some?”
Before he could even grab the breakfast, a sudden, searing pain shot through the burns on his back,
and it quickly spread through his limbs. Elijah forcefully suppressed the intense pain, maintaining a
stoic expression.
Even so, he could not hide the beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead or the subtle trembling of
his knuckles.
Noticing Elijah’s abnormal state, Sheena declined politely, “No need. I had breakfast at the police
station, and I’m not hungry right now.”
Elijah did not insist, maintaining a poker face as he quietly retracted his trembling hand under
the blanket.
Recalling the strange incident from this morning, Sheena smiled and asked, “I had a particularly odd

was on bail from the National Investigation Bureau.”
As she said that, she observed Elijah’s expression.
Elijah frowned, showing a hint of surprise. “Oh, really?”
She continued, “Mmhmm. It’s funny because I don’t even know anyone from the National Investigation
Bureau, and I have no idea why they would help me. I’m unsure if their assistance this time is good or
bad.”
Elijah’s face remained calm, saying, “Perhaps it’s a friend of Howard’s who’s helping you. That won’t be
surprising.”
Sheena stayed silent, still staring at him. In the past, Elijah would have been quick to show jealousy
when faced with such situations, using every trick in the book to act cute and seek attention from her.
Yet, his reaction was strangely indifferent today.
Noticing her silence, Elijah took the initiative to speak, “Sheena, I’m sure you didn’t get much rest at the
station last night. Why don’t you go back to the mansion and get some sleep? Everything’s fine here,
and I’ll probably be discharged tomorrow.”
Was he deliberately trying to send her away?
It felt too out of character.
Sheena could not shake the feeling that something was off with Elijah today, but looking at his calm
demeanor, she could not pinpoint the exact problem.
“Sheena?” Elijah called her softly.
She snapped back to attention, responding, “Alright, I’m indeed a bit tired. I’ll head back now. Take care
and rest well.”
Elijah nodded, his pale lips tightly pressed together.

Sheena stood up and tidied her white skirt. Before leaving, she earnestly said, “If you discomfort,
inform the doctor or let me know. Don’t endure it.

Elijah simply replied, “Okay.”
Sheena did not linger, turning to walk toward the door.

Just as she turned, Elijah could not suppress the sudden surge of a metallic sweetness in his chest,
quickly covering his mouth with his hand and silently spitting out a mouthful of blood. Sheena, with
keen ears, picked up on the subtle sound. She glanced at Elijah on the hospital bed.
Elijah had his head lowered, his left hand still resting under the blanket, while his right hand picked up a
spoon to sip the soup. His eyelashes, long and curly, trembled lightly, and he did not glance in her
direction.
Sheena opened the door and walked out. Except for Ford, who stayed behind at the hospital, the other
bodyguards silently followed her.
“Don’t follow me. Go to the car and wait for me,” Sheena instructed.
“Uh, Miss?” Paul did not stop her but noticed her heading in the opposite direction.
Sheena discreetly went to find the attending doctor. When she reached the office door, she walked in
directly, lightly tapping the desk and speaking seriously, “I want to see Elijah’s test report.”
