Chapter 626
With this statement, the entire E&S Haven erupted in chaos!
Lionel, accompanied by Ford and Paul, quietly searched everywhere in the yard.
In their search, Sheena, along with John and Sawyer, turned the entire mansion upside down. They even reviewed surveillance footage and checked the garage, yet Elliot was nowhere to be found. Moreover, his phone was switched off, adding to the mystery.
The group tried their best to avoid alarming others in the Jenkins estate. Yet, they had no leads even after searching for over half an hour.
Sheena’s sense of unease grew stronger.
Half a year ago, she had returned to Ocean Avenue and searched the mansion inside out upon learning of Elliot’s death, only to find no trace of him.
She sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed, her fingertips trembling, revealing the turmoil within. Suddenly, she noticed that Elliot’s household slippers were still placed on the room’s carpet.
Sheena furrowed her brow, wondering why he would go out without wearing his shoes on such a cold day and why he would hide.
As she became overwhelmingly anxious, she spotted a slightly ajar closet door. She was about to take a closer look when Lionel entered.
“Ms. Sheena, there’s really no sign of him. I checked with the Jenkins Group, and Mr. Jenkins is not there. He should still be in the Jenkins estate.”
“Got it. Keep searching everywhere thoroughly. Even if you have to turn the world upside down, find him!” Sheena instructed.
“Yes, Ms. Sheena.”
Once Lionel left, Sheena silently approached the closet door, opening it without making a sound.
There, curled up in the corner, was a man bent at the knees, hugging himself tightly as he gripped the
sleeves of his robe.
It was Elliot!
Seeing that familiar, handsome face, Sheena breathed a sigh of relief.
They had searched for almost a whole morning, only to find him hiding in the closet.
What was going on?
Sheena crouched down gently, not wanting to startle him, and carefully observed his condition. However, she realized that Elliot seemed completely unaware of her presence.
Those once intense black eyes now appeared empty and lifeless, losing focus when looking at

something, wandering aimlessly.
She suddenly had a very ominous feeling and waved her hand before his eyes. Yet, those eyes showed no reaction.
Sheena covered her mouth, her eyes red as tears streamed down her face.
Elliot… was blind?
She fought the suffocating feeling in her chest and cautiously extended her hand toward Elliot.
“Eli…”
Upon hearing her voice and feeling her touch on his wrist, Elliot gently trembled, quickly raising his arm to shield his face, keeping Sheena from noticing his eyes.
“How did this happen?” Sheena wiped away her tears, stifling a sob, reaching out to embrace him. Eli, don’t be afraid. I’m here for you…”
Elliot resisted, refusing her embrace. “You’ve found out… Yes, I’m blind. I don’t need anyone’s pity. Just go!”

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