Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 1063
Elliot chuckled lightly and replied with a straight face, âIâm perfectly fine.â
Sheena did not buy it at all.
After spending so much time together, she knew him too well. A couple of strange incidents might be overlooked, but three consecutive days of the same behavior.
were far from normal.
She extended her hand and said, âGive me the bowl. I want to eat by myself.â
Î
Seeing her insistence, Elliot handed her the bowl, gently advising, âBe careful not to burn yourself.â
Sheena nodded.
As she took the bowl, she immediately placed it on the bedside table and grabbed Elliotâs hand, pulling up his sleeve to examine the wrist that triggered an obvious
reaction just a moment ago.
âNana!â
Elliot withdrew his hand a bit too late, and Sheena had already seen the injured and
swollen skin on his wrist.
She stared at him in disbelief, anger brewing in her chest.
âHow did you get hurt like this? Even when you make mistakes, Iâve never had the
heart to beat you this badly. Who did this to you?â
Elliot lowered his gaze, his eyes avoiding hers as he pulled his sleeve down guiltily.
âNo one did. It happened while I was cooking. I was accidentally burned by the edge
of the pot, and I didnât rinse it with cold water in time afterward. I didnât expect it to
be badly inflamed, but Iâve already applied medicine, so thereâs no need to worry.â
How could she not worry?
Sheenaâs eyes reddened, carefully recalling the scene she had just witnessed.
A burn from a pot edge could not possibly be so extensive, and the wound was too
uniform as if it had been caused by something hitting him.
âI donât believe you. Stick your hand out and let me take a closer look.
He hesitated, refusing. âItâs really nothing to fuss about.â
Sheenaâs tone grew stern. âHurry up and show me your hand! Why would you hide your injury?â
Elliot kept his head down, still refusing to move or explain.
Sheena was as sharp as ever. She could see through his every little movement.
âEli, you know me well. If I donât get to the bottom of this, I wonât give up. You may not show me now, but you have to be absolutely sure you can keep it hidden, or Iâll
find out sooner or later.â
She softened her tone, reaching for the back of his hand.
âI care about you. Let me see.â
Elliot withdrew his hand, avoiding her touch.
Seeing his resistance, Sheena seized the opportunity while he was distracted and decisively rushed forward, forcibly rolling up his sleeve.
A portion of his muscular arm was revealed, marred with numerous scars.
Sheena was stunned to see more than one injury on his arm.
Moreover, each swollen scar had smooth edges, definitely not caused by burns.
âHow did you get hurt so badly? Who did this to you? Tell me!â
Unable to hide it any longer, Elliot sighed in resignation. âNana, calm down.â
âHow can I calm down when you suddenly get injured like this? Who did this?â
Elliot remained silent.
Sheena was on the brink of losing control of her emotions.
Her husband, who showed affection and love to her every day, was the head of the powerful Jenkins family and the chief of the National Investigation Bureau.

Yet, he suffered severe physical Injuries behind her back.
How could she not be angry?
Sheena became tearyâeyed, and she suddenly remembered another crucial point.
If just a portion of his right arm was injured so badly, what about the rest of his body?
How severe were those injuries?
She sat up, grabbed Elliotâs suit jacket, and began pulling at it.
âLet me see if you have any other injuries.â
âNanaâ¦â
Elliot had not slept well for three days straight.
Moreover, he had been burning the candle at both ends, enduring beatings and pain.
Last night, he had depleted all his strength to endure the effects of that potent anti- inflammatory medication. Consequently, his complexion was paler, and he felt utterly drained.
In contrast, Sheena had received IV fluids last night, had rested the entire night, and, fueled by her emotional turmoil and anger, she was much stronger than Elliot.
She began to loosen Elliotâs tie and unbutton his shirt.
His once porcelainâwhite and exquisite chest and crisscrossing scars.
Sheenaâs heart ached at the sight.

As she looked at Elliotâs grim and frightening wounds, she suddenly felt a headache.
coming on.
Closing her eyes, fragmented images of Elliot standing before her and enduring her beating flashed through her mind.
Why were these confusing images appearing in her head?
