Chapter 396
“Since you want to make amends for him, you should recover quickly. With him gone, the Freeman family is left with two struggling women. Though all the Freeman family assets are in your hands now, Wilfred will surely create
obstacles. You need to help settle his family.”
Finally, there was a glimmer of light in Sheena’s eyes.
Howard was pleased and continued, “You must get better quickly and think of the best solution. What do you say?”
She lowered her gaze, engrossed in thought over his words.
Quickly, Howard offered the chicken soup to her lips again, gently coaxing, “So, how about drinking some chicken soup now? Nourish your body to handle these matters later.”
This time, Sheena did not refuse. She drank the soup Howard handed her.
Howard was right. Faye and Erin were Elijah’s only relatives, and she had to help settle things for them.
As for the Freeman Group, Sheena no longer had the energy to manage it and needed to hand it over to someone in the Freeman family, but it had to be someone she trusted. However, Erin needed some serious discipline.
Sheena pondered over the matter.
After two days of rest, her body was much better, and her throat gradually recovered.
As she lay in bed drinking chicken soup one morning, she called Ian into the
room.
“Miss, what’s the matter?”
Sheena took a sip of her soup, asking indifferently, “How’s Nathaniel’s situation?
“I heard he was sent to a high–security prison. I don’t know how long he’ll be serving, but he definitely won’t keep his position as the head of the Special Investigation Department. After all, he stole the lab’s prohibited drugs, and it’s not a small matter. Besides, Mr. Freeman was from the National Investigation Bureau…”
Sheena paused in her act of drinking her soup.
Ian regretfully patted his mouth. Howard had instructed him to avoid mentioning

Elijah’s name in front of her.
Sheena concealed her emotions, stirring the bowl, her tone casual as she continued asking, “Any reaction from the Nicholls family?”
Ian answered, “Mr. Nicholls is just the fourth son of the head of the Nicholls family. He was not in line to inherit the power anyway, and it seems there’s internal strife in the family. They don’t seem inclined to save him.”
If the Nicholls family was not willing to help, Nathaniel was in a tough spot.
Well, he brought it upon himself by hurting Elijah.
Sheena shifted her focus and looked at Ian, saying seriously, “Starting today, you’re no longer my bodyguard. You may leave.”
Ian shuddered, lips trembling. “Miss, are you firing me? Is it because of this incident? Do you still resent me?”
“I don’t resent you.”
Sheena placed the bowl on the bedside table, her tone consistently calm. “With the situation resolved with the man in black, there’s no longer a threat to your life. You can leave safely now.”
“But, Miss, I…”
Ian still wanted to work by Sheena’s side, even if it meant he could only see her.
