Chapter 224
Faye was brought to her previous private doctor for her care. Her foot was encased in a cast as she lay on the bed, idly staring into space. Upon hearing the door open, she looked up and saw her long– awaited son.
Tears Instantly welled up in Faye’s eyes, and she cried out, “Eli, I thought I might never see you again.”
Elijah gently touched Faye’s leg, and she immediately cried out in pain. Observing her
exaggerated reaction, Elijah knew she was not that badly injured and took a seat on the chair beside her bed.
“What happened? How did you fall for no reason?”
Faye, appearing aggrieved, was about to explain when she noticed Ford behind Elijah. “Dear bodyguard, it’s been so long since I’ve seen my son. I’d like to have a private chat with him. It won’t take long, is that alright?”
Ford hesitated for a moment but did not move.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElijah turned back, assuring, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything that’ll trouble you. We’ll just have a casual conversation.”
Despite now being Sheena’s servant, Ford admired Elijah’s integrity, so he left, closing the door behind him.
Once Ford left, Elijah asked, “Alright, spill it. How did you get injured? I’ve checked, and it didn’t seem as bad as you made it sound.”
Faye chuckled. “I did slip on the stairs, just about six steps, nothing major. But if not for this incident, how could we meet?”
Elijah frowned. “How did you manage to make it seem worse than it was?”
Faye smirked, leaning in to whisper, “I have my ways, Eli. But that’s not important. How about that matter I discussed with you last time? Any progress?”
Elijah frowned. “What matter?”
Faye gently pushed his forehead, looking a little annoyed. Then, she glanced outside the door and whispered, “About getting her pregnant!”
Elijah’s face darkened, his gaze turning cold swiftly. “That’s absolutely impossible. I don’t want to hear about it again, and you’re not allowed to bring it up with anyone else.”
Faye felt frustrated. Looking at the current situation, their family would be stuck as servants forever if Elijah did not win over Sheena. She had endured enough days of humiliation and needed to find a way to reclaim both the Freeman Group and the Freeman Mansion.
As for her clueless son, she had to assist him!
“Alright, I won’t bring it up,” Faye agreed, smiling.
Then, she looked around, and as she pretended to sip water from the cup on the table, she intentionally spilled son Elijah.
Chapter 224
“Oh dear! I’m sorry. My hand slipped. Lethelp you clean up,” Faye said while patting the water droplets off Elijah. Taking advantage of his distraction, she slipped two small items into his pocket.
Elijah watched as she attempted to clean the white shirt, which only seemed to get dirtier. Worried she might discover his back injury, he excused himself to the bathroom for a quick cleanup.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar bird call.
It was Lionel!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElijah’s expression turned serious as he contemplated how to meet with Lionel. Sheena had only assigned Ford to watch him this time. Did it mean her guard was down, or was it because she was busy dining with Colin and Howard and did not have tto arrange additional surveillance?
Regardless of the situation, it was an excellent opportunity.
When Elijah emerged from the bathroom, the door opened.
The man entering wore a servant’s uniform, carefully closing the door behind him. When he turned around, Elijah realized that it was Lionel!
