Chapter 458

Elliot took his medicine, and his complexion improved slightly. Exhausted, he nestled into her lap and fell asleep.

Sheena checked the tand noticed that it was already quite late. If she left now, she risked waking Elliot, who was peacefully sleeping. However, staying meant dealing with Corey, which could turn out badly.

Sheena hesitated.

She observed Elliot and found him in a serene slumber. Even asleep, his features were like a divine sculpture, exceptionally handsome. His face captivated her, and she only snapped out of her reverie when her phone rang.

It was a call from Barbara.

“Sheena, how is he? Is he badly hurt?” Barbara asked.

Sheena cleared her throat, deliberately adding a hint of a sob.

“Barbara, you know how strong Corey is. Eli already had injuries, and now they have worsened. He’s been unconscious since we returned to the Jenkins family.”

Barbara caught on to her implication but still asked, “Is it that serious? Corey’s action was quite reckless earlier. So, what’s your plan? Are you coming back tonight?”

Seizing the opportunity, Sheena responded, “Considering it’s because of Corey that he’s in this state, I feel guilty. I want to stay here and care for him for a few days. Once he’s better, I’ll return. Is that okay?”

“Well…” Barbara whispered through the phone, “You can stay if you want. I’ll talk to Corey for you. But remember to behave, and don’t…”

Before Barbara could finish, Corey’s angry yell echoed from afar.

“Sheena, if you dare lay a finger on him again, I’ll definitely break your legs! No one can stopthis time!”

Sheena quickly moved the phone away and discreetly glanced at the still–sleeping Elliot. Fortunately, he remained undisturbed. However, Corey’s words seemed oddly strange.

Why did he make her sound like a ruthless bandit, forcibly keeping a young man captive?

Feeling frustrated, she muttered quietly, “Corey, he’s an injured patient. How could I continue to harm him? I haven’t becso heartless yet!”

Corey scoffed.

Barbara reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle Corey for you tonight. Take good care of Elliot these next few days. He’s a responsible and handsyoung man. I quite like him.”

“How dare you say you like him? Barbara, have you lost your mind? Cover here!” Corey was annoyed.

“Hey! I’m not done with Sheena yet…” Barbara’s words trailed off as the call abruptly ended, accompanied by a busy tone.

Sheena stared blankly at the screen. Remembering Barbara’s mention of how she would handle Corey tonight, a blush crept onto her face.

Did couples casually discuss such matters?

However, it seemed Corey was upset about something.

Would Barbara’s lower back be okay tomorrow?

To stay and take care of Elliot, she had to sacrifice Barbara’s lower back.

Sacrifices had to be made!

Sheena sighed deeply, and her gaze, in a fleeting moment, caught the peacefully sleeping man on her leg smirking.

When did he wake up? Was he eavesdropping on her phone call?

“Eli?”

Elliot’s smile instantly disappeared, and he continued to sleep peacefully.

He was quite the actor!

Sometimes, she could not distinguish between his truths and lies. Sheena pursed her lips, a bit displeased. If it were not for his injury, she would have taught him how to behave!
