Chapter 548

Lionel finally realized he had misunderstood Elliot’s intention. He thought Elliot was intentionally courting trouble.

It turned out Elliot genuinely wanted to keep it from Sheena!

In contrast to Elliot’s rage, Sheena smiled warmly.

“Don’t be afraid. You confessed well. Witharound, feel free to speak boldly.”

However, Lionel, realizing he had erred and harmed Elliot, did not feel as confident as before. He needed to consider carefully how to make amends. Otherwise, he might be in serious trouble.

If Elliot erupted in anger, Sheena’s pardon might not be enough to save him!

After pondering for a while, Lionel spoke sincerely, “Ms. Sheena, Mr. Jenkins was wrong to hide it from you, but he truly remembered the schedule you customized. He never intended to actually smoke.”

“He’s been taking medication three times a day. Those pills are bitter, and an overdose can cause loss of appetite and nausea. He just wanted a way to ease the discomfort after taking the medicine. He simply used the wrong method.”

Lionel’s detailed explanation was heartfelt, and Elliot’s gloomy expression gradually softened as he finally heard scomforting words from Lionel.

With an unreadable expression, Sheena left them guessing whether she believed him or not.

Lionel cautiously added, “Ms. Sheena, don’t be angry with Mr. Jenkins, please?”

After all, with an outsider present, Sheena refrained from mentioning Elliot’s earlier attempt to deceive her.

She smiled at Elliot, saying gently, “It’s a small matter, nothing to get upset about. Right, Eli?”

Elliot nodded, looking genuinely remorseful.

Shifting her gaze back to the cigarettes on the table, Sheena continued, “But in the future, let’s not keep these cigarettes around. They’re not good. Lionel, clear out the drawer and sell all the cigarettes at a low price.”

“At a low price!” Lionel’s eyes widened.

While Lionel dealt with the cigarettes in the living room, Sheena stood up and grabbed Elliot’s hand.

“Let’s go upstairs.”

Even though her tone was calm, Elliot’s heart still skipped a beat.

After all the effort to explain, was he still going to get a scolding?

Nonetheless, he let Sheena lead him back to the master bedroom.

“Sit,” Sheena commanded, and Elliot obediently took a seat, feeling quite apprehensive.

He could not determine if Sheena was still angry, but he knew he really, really hated getting spanked!

If not for fear of Sheena’s anger, Elliot would have thrown the ruler in the drawer and the washboard in the wardrobe into the ocean, never to be recovered!

Lost in these gloomy thoughts, he saw Sheena turn toward the bedside table, placing her hand on the first drawer as if she was about to open it.

He knew exactly what was inside!

Without waiting for Sheena to open the drawer fully, he clutched his chest, furrowing his brow, and weakly called out, “Nana, I… feel uncomfortable…”

Sheena immediately rushed over to check his condition.

“Does your chest hurt? Is it another episode of angina? How did this happen? You’ve been taking medicine for a week. It shouldn’t happen so easily.”

Weakly, he breathed, eyelashes drooping, his handsface pale and sickly as he leaned against her.

Sheena, concerned, said, “You shouldn’t endure an attack. Letget the medication that specifically suppresses angina attacks for you!”

“No need!”

Just as she was about to get up, Elliot grabbed her wrist. His grip was calm, showing none of the trembling weakness from before.

Realizing he might have been too intense, Elliot weakly let go, burying his head in her embrace, and murmured, “What I meant is, with you holding me, I feel much better…”

Sheena fell silent. She lowered her head, restrained her cold gaze, and quietly stared at his head. She had a sense of what was going on.

Not only did he deceive and hide things from her today, but now he was also putting on an act!

Initially, she wanted to let him off the hook, fetch the anti–inflammatory cream from the drawer, and personally help him with his knees.

However, she had to reconsider that plan now!
