Chapter 88
Jennifer returned from the emergency room to a regular ward. Despite the doctors‘ urgent treatment, her condition did not show any significant improvement.
Finally regaining consciousness, Jennifer opened her slightly swollen eyes and faintly saw a tall figure in a suit before her. Thinking it was Elijah, she grabbed the person’s hand and cried.
“Eli, sob… I’m so glad you’re here with me. I don’t know what to do without you.”
The person she held onto stiffened.
“Ms. Moore, I’m not Mr. Freeman. I’m Leon.”
Only then did Jennifer clearly see the man in front of her, and she cried harder due to the disappointment.
Seeing her in this state, Leon felt a pang of pity and spoke with determination, “Sheena has truly gone too far this time. She even had the audacity to send you funeral bouquets! Ms. Moore, please rest assured. I’ll do everything I can to help you.”
However, Jennifer was not moved by his words. Her eyes remained dim and lifeless.
“What’s the point? Eli doesn’t believe me and won’t even come to keep me company. What have I done wrong?”
“You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s Mr. Freeman. He’s the one who doubted you, even going so far as to reinvestigate the events from thirteen years ago.”
Jennifer could not bear to listen to the rest of what Leon was saying. She was shocked that Elijah was investigating the events from 13 years ago. She could not help but wonder if he had already figured out something.
Jennifer panicked, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Unaware of her distress, Leon reassured her, “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I believe in you,
and I’ll support you unconditionally. Just know that I’ll always support you.
“Thank you, Leon,” Jennifer said, gripping his hand tightly. “You’re like family to me.”
Leon was overjoyed. “I’m honored, Ms. Moore!”
Jennifer motioned for him to lean in closer and whispered something to him.
Without hesitation, Leon immediately agreed.
After leaving the training base, Sheena went straight to the car dealership, planning to pick out a new car for herself. However, she bumped into an old acquaintance at the entrance.
It was Daria Bell from her days in the orphanage.
Daria was arm in arm with a well–dressed man in his fifties, who was also browsing for cars.
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Sheena, who’s been making the headlines lately. Long time no see. I never thought you’d still be doing so poorly.”

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