Chapter 443
Sheena helped Elliot onto the bed, tucking him in. However, having just undergone surgery, his body was still weak. After standing in the corridor for over half an hour, he felt chilled to the bone.
Sheena turned on the heating for him and sat beside his bed. She poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him, taking the lead in speaking, “Lionel has already explained many things to me while you were in surgery. You don’t need to explain it all over again. However, I have a few doubts that need your answers.
Elliot nodded.
“Why did you become Elijah Freeman? If you’re Elliot Jenkins, then where is the real Elijah?”
Elliot gripped her small hand, feeling the warmth of her palm. He began, “Do you remember when I told you about the car accident thirteen years ago?”
“I do.”
“The real Elijah Freeman died at the age of 15, trying to save me. At that time, the Jenkins family was in chaos, and I was too young to confront Uncle Peter and Uncle Ronald’s families. Elijah had been sent to the National Investigation Bureau by Old Man Freeman from a young age, and his family had
never seen him since.”
“So, Grandpa had me temporarily take on Elijah’s name as a refuge. In the car accident thirteen years
ago, everyone who escorted me died, and nobody in Farlem knew my true identity. I naturally assumed the role of Elijah, helping him with Old Man Freeman and Faye in reviving the Freeman
Group.”
“I see.” Sheena lowered her gaze. “Then, half a year ago, was the urn of ashes also faked? Was the
body that Ian watched cremated someone else?”
“The ashes are real, belonging to the real Elijah. As for the body, Lionel found a man in the warehouse with a similar physique to mine. Due to the intense fire, the body was almost unrecognizable. So, Ian certainly didn’t notice.”
His voice was low, hoarse, and weak.
When he looked at Sheena, his eyes twinkled faintly.
“Nana, I didn’t mean to deceive you. When I returned to Svelton to take control of the Jenkins family…. I genuinely couldn’t go back. But when I found out you publicly revealed your identity as the Lawson family heiress’s identity, I was so thrilled.”
Sheena remained silent, her sparkling eyes fixed on him.
Under her expressionless gaze, Elliot became a bit nervous. “I didn’t reunite with you at the welcome- home banquet, and I even lied to you. I was wrong. If you’re still upset, you can continue to punish me. I’ll accept it all, okay?”
“Not okay.”

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