Chapter 513
Lionel stopped mid–sentence as he noticed Elliot’s brows almost instantly furrowing, a deep sadness in his dark eyes.
“I placed a gag order on the virus inside me before. Remember, not a single word can be uttered to her!
”
“Yes.” Lionel was concerned. “But even if you can keep it from her now, five months later, she’ll have to face the news of your death suddenly. It’ll be devastating for her.”
“I know. Let me think about it.”
Elliot lowered his gaze, looking sad. His eyelashes trembled slightly as if masking something.
Lionel understood that this was the moment when Elliot was most conflicted and distressed.
Since it was already deep into the night, Lionel exited the room, allowing Elliot to rest in the ward.
In the silence of the night, the trees outside rustled in the wind, and soon, a light rain began to fall.
Elliot turned his head, staring blankly at the raindrops on the window as he was lost in his thoughts. His once mysterious and proud face now appeared gloomy and pale.
Suddenly, a message notification sounded on his phone. Unlocking it, he saw it was from Sheena.
[Sheena: Eli, are you sleeping well at the border? I heard the UV rays there are intense. Will you come back with sunburn? You’ll be as red as a lobster, then! I’ll call you Lobster Eli!]
This message made him laugh, and he imagined the scene where she smiled charmingly as she made fun of his sunburnt skin.
He longed to hold her, never to let go in this lifetime.
Another message from Sheena popped up on the phone screen.
[Sheena: Are you already asleep? Is it inconvenient to reply there?]
[Sheena: No, maybe there’s no signal? I won’t disturb you, good night!]
After this message, Sheena’s chat box did not appear again.
His slender fingers gently stroked the words Sheena had just sent on the phone screen, and an uncontrollable tear rolled down his cheek, silently streaming into the short hair at his temple, disappearing without a trace.
In the center of his chest, a sudden wrenching pain erupted. The pain was so severe that every limb uncontrollably trembled.
Elliot curled up in bed, sweat beads forming on his nose as he gripped his chest tightly, veins bulging. Each breath sent shudders of pain through his entire body.

The excruciating, tearing pain continued relentlessly, growing more intense with each passing
moment.
In agony, Elliot could not help but moan, and his trembling hands tried to reach for the alarm on the bedside table. However, due to his weakened state, he tumbled off the bed with a thud.
The noise alerted Yosef in the next room. Rushing in, he pushed the door open and was nearly scared

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