I Became His Sweetheart

While Elijah was lost in thoughts, Sheena got tired of his meaningless, sarcastic remarks and turned to leave. However, Elijah, still holding onto her wrist, prevented her from leaving.

Annoyed, Sheena asked, “Elijah, what exactly are you trying to do?”

With a pale face, Elijah appeared pitiful as he looked at her. “Sheena, my back hurts a lot. Can you kiss it better?” “Huh?” Sheena was surprised by this request.

How did she not notice Elijah’s clinginess before?

“Did they hit your back or your head? Can't you speak like a normal adult?”

Elijah remained silent. He was genuinely in pain and exhausted, hoping for a bit of comfort from her.

Seeing his lack of response, Sheena forcibly freed her wrist from his grip and tried to leave. However, Elijah suddenly said, “During the days | was away, | went to the mountains near the border of the Luivine and Farlem. The reason for my delayed return was that | was being pursued, and those people were sent by Corey Lawson.”

Sheena’s steps came to an abrupt halt. Corey’s men tried to kill him?

Howard had only mentioned Elijah’s whereabouts and temporary absence without telling her the real reason was because of Corey. Next, Sheena recalled Elijah’s reaction when he returned after being injected with the special drug, wondering if Corey’s men caused his waist injury. Sheena stood by the door for a moment, then smiled and responded, “Why are you suddenly telling me this? Do you think I'd care about you?”

With that, she opened the door and left.

Sawyer was waiting outside and noticed her strange expression as she came out. “Ms. Sheena?”

She snapped out of her thoughts, glanced at the first aid kit in Sawyer’s hands, and said, “Go in and help him with the medicine.” “Yes, Ms. Sheena.” Sawyer bowed slightly. After watching her leave the second floor, he entered Elijah’s room. Elijah was lost in thought.

Sheena seemed surprised by the mention of Corey as if it was not related to her.

Elijah sighed lightly, feeling somewhat relieved.

“Hey, Mr. Freeman?” Sawyer interrupted Elijah impatiently, “Take off your shirt and lie down. I'll apply the medicine.” Elijah took the first aid kit from him, saying, “No need. | can handle it myself. You can leave.”

“Your injury is on your back. How can you do it yourself? If Ms, Sheena can touch you, why can’t I?” Sawyer argued. Elijah remained expressionless. “I’m not comfortable with men touching me.”

What a peculiar habit. Regardless, Sawyer was fine with it. “As long as you said so, Just don’t complain to Ms. Sheena about me later.”

Although he said that, Sawyer still reported the matter to Sheena on the third floor before leaving out of concern.

“Since he enjoys pain like a masochist, let him be. You may go about your business.”

The door was open, and Sheena was still standing by the window, speaking quite audibly. Elijah heard everything clearly downstairs, frowning. It seemed like this beating was not worth it at all. Not only did he fail to gain even the slightest sympathy from Sheena, but he also received a bunch of sarcastic remarks about deserving it and being a masochist. Later, Elijah applied

some anti-inflammatory ointment to his back and went to sleep. The next morning, he woke up late. The beating and climbing the previous day had really drained his energy. By the time he woke up, Sheena was already gone from the mansion.

Surprisingly, she did not purposely trouble him.

Elijah found it a bit strange but started doing household chores as usual. Ever since he found out that Sheena and Howard might be related, he felt happy.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
