Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 681

Lane nodded.

She trusted Elena because Sean trusted her.

Therefore, her trust was unconditional.

A moment later, Elena went to the ward to check on Sean.

Sean was wearing an oxygen mask, still deeply asleep.

Elena walked over and gently placed her fingers on his wrist to check his pulse.

She wanted to see how his body was doing.

"Logically, he should be waking up by now," Elena murmured to herself.

Just as she spoke, Sean's eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Elena's face come into view, he couldn't quite believe it, feeling like he was still dreaming.

How could he wake up and immediately see the person he longed for right in front of him? He had to be dreaming.

Thinking this, he decided he would rather not wake up from this dream, wanting it to continue forever.

With that thought, he closed his eyes again.

"Sean, wake up," Elena called out.

This wasn't a dream?

Sean opened his eyes again and saw Elena looking at him.

He murmured, "B—Boss..."

"Sean, you're finally awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"It hurts. My whole body hurts, but seeing you suddenly makes it hurt a little less!"

The anesthesia had likely worn off, so he was regaining sensation.

"It's normal to feel pain. I'll inject some painkillers into your IV in a moment; that will make you feel better."

"Thank you, Boss."

Sean tried to sit up but found that his entire body, aside from his head and hands, was strapped down and immobilized.

"Don't move. You have too many injuries, and I just performed surgery on you. You need to recover slowly in the hospital right now. You absolutely must not move."

"Get some good rest during this time. As for the matters regarding Aurelis Holdings Group, I'll handle them! You don't need to worry about it."

"Thank you, Boss."

Sean didn't want to cause trouble for Elena, but in his current state, he really couldn't manage the company.

At the Sinclair estate, inside the study.

"Sir, Dylan has returned," the butler came in and reported.

Xavier finally looked up and glanced at Dylan as he walked in.

"So you finally decided to show up? Is this still your home?" Xavier asked in a harsh tone.

"Dad, I'm sorry." Dylan kept his head down.

He had indeed been impulsive this time. It was his first time walking out of a meeting, his first time defying Xavier, and his first time disobeying orders.

"Sorry? Do you have any idea what the company is saying about you because of this? And you still have the nerve to come back! I thought you were gone for good! Look at you, you'll never amount to anything. I gave you the position of CEO at the Sinclair Group, and this is how you treat it! You miserable disappointment."
