Chapter 681
The girl became a little anxious when Lionel did not respond.
“Are you still there? Did you faint or something?”
“No.” Lionel wearily closed his eyes and spoke in a frail voice, “I’m very tired, and I just to rest for a while.”
“No, you mustn’t sleep!” The girl frantically knocked on the wall separating them, attempting to rouse his consciousness. “With such severe injuries, if you fall asleep and lose too much blood, you might never wake up again!”
Lionel was amused.
He had trained with Elliot in the military since he was young. With such great form, he would not die so easily.
Nevertheless, she was the first stranger besides Elliot and Sheena to show such concern for him, and it warmed his heart.
“Did you really fall asleep? Or are you close to death?”
The banging on the wall echoed again.
“I’m not…‘
The girl sighed in relief, saying, “If you’re really sleepy, I can keep you company, talk to you, or even tell you stories!”
“Do you know any horror stories?”
“Um… Aren’t we living in a horror story now?”
Lionel weakly scanned the cell, chuckling.
Indeed, their surroundings were quite eerie.
“I’ll tell you some lame jokes!”
“Our situation is bad enough as it is…”
“Well, nothing but some lame jokes to lighten the mood!”
Lionel was left speechless by her reply.
As they chatted, they became more and more comfortable with each other, chatting for almost half an hour.
It was only when the doctor Nathaniel called in arrived that they stopped.
Chapter 681
212
Nathaniel once again sent Sheena back to the small apartment on the outskirts, restricting her movements from the entire apartment to just staying in her room.
Sheena did not complain or express dissatisfaction. She simply asked him for two parenting books to pass the time during these boring days. In terms of food, Nathaniel went out of his way to fulfill her requests.
As Sheena was already having morning sickness and increased sleepiness despite being only two and a half weeks pregnant, Nathaniel arranged for a female gynecologist to visit daily in the afternoons to examine her and provide targeted
care.
At noon, Nathaniel was summoned by Kelly.
“Mom.”
He stood respectfully in front of Kelly, separated by a coffee table.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
