Chapter 439

Sheena cried even harder, seemingly impossible to stop. She tightly held Elliot’s hand and shouted at him, “Elliot, you’re not allowed to die! If you dare die, I’ll find another man to marry immediately! You’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”

Elliot smiled wryly. “That… can’t happen. You’re mine…”

Sheena quickly turned to the medical staff and said, “I’m here now. Take him inside!”

Still holding her hand, Elliot refused to let go. “Nana… listen to my explanation, please…”

“Be a good boy and undergo the surgery. I’ll be outside. When you come out, I’ll listen to your explanation.”

Elliot’s face was pale, and there was no more time to delay. However, he stubbornly clung to her hand, wanting to get a good look at her. The surgery was dangerous, with a low survival rate.

Sheena, feeling heartbroken, had to forcefully pry his hand away, watching him being wheeled into the emergency room. The operating room’s lights lit up, and Sheena sat outside, waiting with a

vacant gaze and tear-streaked face.

This was the first time she had shed tears in front of so many people, but she did not care. All she knew was that she didn’t want Elliot to die.

Three hours passed, and it was already 9 p.m., but Elliot had yet to come out.

Lionel dismissed the other subordinates and sat across from Sheena, his.expression equally grave.

After what seemed like a long contemplation, he finally spoke, “You’ve always believed that the incident at the abandoned warehouse six months ago was a deception, but it was real. He went there with the determination to die. If it weren’t for us arriving in time, saving what was left of him, he would have truly perished in the flames.”

Sheena slowly looked up, staring at him.

Lionel continued somberly, “As for why he didn’t return despite surviving the incident, it’s because the Jenkins family was in chaos then. He had to go back to manage the situation. The whipping on his back was a punishment for violating the family rules. He barely survived the warehouse incident, suffering extensive burns on his face and body, a broken leg from the fight, and internal injuries…”

His gaze briefly flickered, and he skipped the fact that Elliot still harbored a virus in his body.

The reason Elliot did not return to Farlem, aside from being unable to leave after gaining control of the Jenkins family, was the virus in his body. The doctor had not found a permanent cure yet, and he had to visit the lab frequently for tests, relying on suppressants to prolong his life.
