Chapter 591

Noticing her silence, Elliot’s frown deepened.

“Nana?”

Sheena snapped out of her thoughts, explaining seriously, “I have a hunch that he’s hiding a bigger secret, and it’s not as simple as it seems. But tonight, I took the medicine he gave to the lab for testing, and it’s indeed effective. Perhaps he really knows a way to cure you.”

“What conditions did you agree to in exchange for the medicine?”

“Bail him out and return his freedom.”

Elliot was not entirely convinced. “Just that?”

“Yes, but I don’t know what he’s plotting. Even so, he’s isolated and powerless now, and I doubt he can stir up much trouble,” Sheena said, discreetly pinching her palm and changing the subject. “Eli, it’s very late. Let’s sleep for now, and we can think about these matters later.”

Elliot remained serious, not swayed by her attempt to redirect.

“If he really knows the antidote for $404, he holds my life in his hands. With such a significant bargaining chip, why would he only discuss the condition of his release with you?

“I…” Sheena concealed the unease in her eyes, chuckling softly. “How would I know? Maybe he has other plans, but he just hasn’t toldyet.”

If Elliot had learned about Nathaniel’s other two conditions, he would surely have resisted, unwilling to take the medicine Nathaniel provided. Moreover, she also needed to carefully consider how to continue

dealing with Nathaniel, trying to extract more useful information about the whereabouts of

the antidote.

Seeing that Elliot was not giving up and wanted to continue probing, she lazily massaged her shoulders, fatigue evident in her eyes.

“I’ve been busy the whole day, and I’m exhausted. Let’s talk about this later. I’m going to bed.”

“Nana…” Elliot was unwilling to let go.

Sheena cupped his face and planted a kiss on his lips.

“Be good, Eli. Goodnight.

Reluctantly, Elliot responded, “Goodnight.”

Sheena added, “Go to sleep. I’ll wait until you’re asleep before returning to the next room.”

“Okay.”

Elliot obediently snuggled under the covers, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Sheena silently watched his peaceful sleeping expression for a while. As his breathing gradually. becsteady, she turned off the light, closed the door, and returned to the adjacent room.

As soon as she left, Elliot slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling.

Sheena was not good at lying. He could see through all her subtle actions.

Tonight, her performance indicated that there was something she was hiding, unwilling to tell him.

The more she refrained from speaking, the more it suggested that Nathaniel’s conditions for exchange were not as simple as she portrayed. Nonetheless, he knew that Sheena was truly going through a tough tfor his sake, and he felt a pang of sympathy for her.

Since she was not planning to reveal the whole truth, he would not pry further.

Instead, he could investigate on his own!

While contemplating this, Elliot heard the sound of the door closing from the adjacent room. Though subtle, in the quiet night, it was quite noticeable.

Elliot immediately sat up, carefully closing the balcony doors and windows before calling Lionel.

Lionel, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, was awakened by Elliot’s call again, feeling rather exasperated.

“Mr. Jenkins, can’t you give all your orders at once? Three calls in one night, and they cevery few hours. I can’t take it!”

In a hushed voice, Elliot replied, “It sounds like you don’t like this job, eh?”

Lionel panicked. “No, not at all! I absolutely love this job! I’ve decided not to sleep tonight and play games all night. I’ll be at your beck and call anytime!”

Elliot paused, softening his tone. “This will be considered as overtfor you. Tomorrow, go to the finance department and claim a double allowance yourself. Don’t say that I mistreat you.”

Lionel’s drowsiness vanished instantly, and he becenthusiastic. “No way! Mr. Jenkins, you’re the most generous superior in the world. I love you so much!”

Elliot furrowed his brow, nearly repulsed by the last part of Lionel’s statement..

“Don’t love me. It’s pointless.”
