Chapter 368
It had been four days, yet Elijah’s wound still appeared vividly red, with rotting flesh. It was truly a ghastly sight.
Sheena’s fingertips trembled as she reached toward his back but stopped just before making
contact.
“Your injury is still bleeding even after four days, and it looks serious. It doesn’t seem like the kind of damage caused by acid burns,” Sheena remarked, her expression grave.
Sheena hesitated to touch the wound, withdrew her hand, and wore a stern expression.
Elijah sighed. Indeed, she could discern the clues with just a glance.
“Why do you mean? It’s caused by sulfuric acid. There shouldn’t be any bleeding. I applied medicine during the day, and there was no bleeding,” Elijah explained calmly.
Sheena remained unconvinced. “Tell me the truth. Do you know what really happened to the wound on your back?”
“Yes, it was sulfuric acid burns,” Elijah insisted calmly. After a moment of contemplation, he added, “I remember now. I probably accidentally hit my back during the confrontation with Nathaniel just now. That’s probably why it started bleeding.”
Was it really a coincidence?
Why would Nathaniel say those things to alert her?
Was Nathaniel lying, or was Elijah lying?
“How convenient. Just tonight, you happened to hit the old wound on your back during the fight. Don’t you think this reason sounds a bit deliberate?” Sheena questioned skeptically.
“Aren’t you overthinking things? Some things in this world are just that coincidental,” Elijah. replied gently. “The injury looks frightening, but it’s not serious. Look at me now. Do I seem uncomfortable?”
Sheena did not believe a word of his excuses, and she could tell the severity of the injury.
“Turn around and look at me.”
Elijah obediently turned around, meeting her gaze.
”
Sheena was only 166 centimeters tall, so at a height of 188 centimeters, he was too tall, making Sheena strain her neck to look up at him.
“Kneel.”
The last time she uttered these words, Elijah resisted as he felt humiliated. However, this time, he did not hesitate. He slowly knelt, keeping his back straight.
He was pursuing the love of his life, so what did dignity matter?

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
