Discount?

Was he begging for mercy?

Sheena suppressed a light laugh. He had been quite stubborn about admitting fault earlier. Now, it

seemed he was backing down. She had thought he was not afraid of a little pain.

Without saying a word, Sheena went to untie the belt around his wrists. Elijah tried to evade, but she

forcibly controlled his arms, and he could only sighingly bury his face in the blanket again.

It seemed she was not keen on lightening the punishment.

Just moments ago, he had used all his strength to endure the pain of removing the decaying flesh from

his wound, leaving him utterly weak.

If Paul were to whip him two hundred times in the garden, he might faint. If he fainted, Sheena would

surely notice something was amiss, and she might use the opportunity to inspect his injuries. Moreover,

Elijah’s wounds had been there for three days, and they were noticeably different from those caused by

sulfuric acid.

With her intelligence, Sheena would quickly notice it.

While he pondered, Sheena had already undone the belt for him. Standing at the edge of the bed, she

observed his reaction with a smirk.

“Let’s go?”

Elijah remained motionless.

Sheena expected this, and she turned around to prepare to close the open window.

Thinking she was leaving the room, Elijah grabbed her wrist, speaking honestly softly, “Sheena,

although my physical condition has recovered, the injury on my back still hurts. I don’t have the

strength.”

The punishment was too severe, and he might not be able to endure it..

He took a deep breath and continued, “If a discount isn’t possible, could we… postpone it until later?”

In other words, wait until he has fully healed before carrying out the punishment.

Sheena had only wanted to tease him and had not seriously intended to punish him. After all, his

wounds were still bleeding, and considering she was the reason he got hurt, she was not unreasonable

enough to inflict severe punishment on an invalid even though she had provided the antidote to the

modified Compound 023.

She sat by Elijah’s bedside and asked him earnestly, “Then be honest with me. Why have you been in

such poor condition these past two days? The modified Compound 023 should only intensify the pain

of your burn. It shouldn’t significantly impact your overall health. What else are you hiding from me?

Elijah took a moment to contemplate, then slowly sat up and avoided direct eye contact with Sheena.

“I caught a cold on the day I was splashed with sulfuric acid. After that, I spent an entire day cleaning

the mansion, which is why I’ve been weak and exhausted these past two days. There’s nothing I was

hiding from you,” Elijah explained.

Sheena considered his explanation, finding it rather logical. He had been at his weakest when he

endured the sulfuric acid attack, and the subsequent cleaning likely strained him further.

It seemed plausible.

“I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt this time. Consider this a warning. If you dare deceive me again,

the punishment will double,” Sheena warned sternly.

Elijah kept his head bowed, softly acknowledging it.

He knew he had only seven days left. Perhaps there would not be a next time.

Unaware of his thoughts, Sheena stood up and walked to the window, closing it. Then, she instructed,

“I have some matters to attend to in the next two days. You stay put and don’t leave the house.”

“Alright.”

“Rest

up,”

“Sheena added before leaving Elijah’s room and closing the door behind her.

She headed downstairs to the living room and found Ford and the other two had been placed on the

sofa, gradually regaining consciousness. The effects of the anesthesia were still lingering, leaving them

a bit disoriented.

Approaching them, Sheena scanned their conditions, then asked the seemingly more alert John, ”

John, before you passed out, did you see anyone?”

John pondered the question seriously before responding, “Lionel.”

So, it was indeed Lionel.

It seemed Elijah had not lied about this matter.
