Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 

Upon realizing it, Lionel looked up and found a hand stained with blood tightly gripping his wrist. 

Elijah was awake! 

Thanks to the injection of the 023 antidote, Elijah had regained some strength. He lay on the recliner and looked at Lionel, smiling faintly. 

“I’m not that easy to kill. Why are you panicking?” 

“Mr. Freeman!” Lionel’s eyes flashed with relief, but he continued crying, “You scared the hell out of me! I really thought you were gone for good!” 

Lance, being younger, was also scared out of his wits. 

In front of Elijah, the two men abandoned all acts of composure, alternating between sobs and laughter. As they laughed, tears continued streaming down their faces, appearing rather comical. 

Elijah gently patted Lionel’s shoulder to console him. “I was just exhausted. Under the influence of the S404 virus, my heartbeat temporarily stopped, but I could hear everything you said.” 

“If you could hear, why didn’t you speak?” Lionel, now frustrated, punched his arm indignantly. 

Elijah had completely shattered his image by making him cry! 

Elijah winced in pain, emitting a muffled groan. 

“Sorry, sorry, my bad! I didn’t do it on purpose!” 

Full of remorse, Lionel pounded his right arm with his left hand. 

Elijah sat up and said, “Enough with that. Report to me about this suppressant.” 

Lionel wiped the tears off his face, turning to face Lance. 

Understanding, Lance sniffed, clearing his throat before earnestly reporting, “Professor Y learned about your accidental exposure to the S404 virus, and he was shocked. However, this suppressant can’t cure the disease and can only temporarily inhibit the virus from spreading further, allowing your body a brief recovery. The effectiveness of the drug would at most last a week.” 

A week. 

It meant he could stay in Farlem for only seven more days… 

Lionel added, “Mr. Freeman, you must return for treatment. Professor Y has already started developing the antidote. You need to go back for blood tests. Don’t you want to spend a long and healthy life with Ms. Sheena once you recover in the future?” 

Elijah tightly pursed his lips, sinking into silence. 

Sheena had already recorded his promise to disappear from her world after a year with her phone. It would require careful planning if he wanted to stay by her side forever. As he 

contemplated it, he recalled Lance’s proposal from the last time. 

While lost in thought, Elijah suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes. When he snapped back, he found it was Lionel. 

“What are you doing?” 

Lionel responded, “The wounds on your back can’t be healed with regular hospital medication. Professor Y has a cream for treating S404, burns. You’ve got to let me apply it.” 

Lionel was right, so Elijah did not hesitate, gracefully unbuttoning and removing his dark suit, revealing a perfectly sculpted physique. 

Between the clearly defined back muscles, there was a palm–sized burn. Despite three days passing, the wound remained a vivid, horrid red, with the flesh beginning to decay. 

It was simply a gruesome sight. 

Even someone as tough as Lionel, accustomed to dealing with life–threatening situations, could not help but gasp at the sight. He instructed Lance to fetch a basin of hot water from the restroom, using a towel to wipe away the blood stains from Elijah’s back. With tweezers, he delicately removed the decaying flesh from the wound.
