Wait She s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson ) Chapter 368

Chapter 368

It had been four days, yet Elijah’s wound still appeared vividly red, with rotting flesh. It was truly a ghastly sight.

Sheena’s fingertips trembled as she reached toward his back but stopped just before making

contact.

“Your injury is still bleeding even after four days, and it looks serious. It doesn’t seem like the kind of damage caused by acid burns,” Sheena remarked, her expression grave.

Sheena hesitated to touch the wound, withdrew her hand, and wore a stern expression.

Elijah sighed. Indeed, she could discern the clues with just a glance.

“Why do you mean? It’s caused by sulfuric acid. There shouldn’t be any bleeding. I applied medicine during the day, and there was no bleeding,” Elijah explained calmly.

Sheena remained unconvinced. “Tell me the truth. Do you know what really happened to the wound on your back?”

“Yes, it was sulfuric acid burns,” Elijah insisted calmly. After a moment of contemplation, he added, “I remember now. I probably accidentally hit my back during the confrontation with Nathaniel just now. That’s probably why it started bleeding.”

Was it really a coincidence?

Why would Nathaniel say those things to alert her?

Was Nathaniel lying, or was Elijah lying?

“How convenient. Just tonight, you happened to hit the old wound on your back during the fight. Don’t you think this reason sounds a bit deliberate?” Sheena questioned skeptically.

“Aren’t you overthinking things? Some things in this world are just that coincidental,” Elijah. replied gently. “The injury looks frightening, but it’s not serious. Look at me now. Do I seem uncomfortable?”

Sheena did not believe a word of his excuses, and she could tell the severity of the injury.

“Turn around and look at me.”

Elijah obediently turned around, meeting her gaze.

”

Sheena was only 166 centimeters tall, so at a height of 188 centimeters, he was too tall, making Sheena strain her neck to look up at him.

“Kneel.”

The last time she uttered these words, Elijah resisted as he felt humiliated. However, this time, he did not hesitate. He slowly knelt, keeping his back straight.

He was pursuing the love of his life, so what did dignity matter?

DAY!

Sheena suddenly lifted Elijah’s chin and looked down at him. “Elijah, do you think I won’t find out if you don’t confess? Don’t you know Noah Lawson is also my friend? If I let him come

over and take a look, you won’t be able to keep it a secret. By then, my trust in you will be completely gone. Think about it.”

Her gaze was cold, adding, “Are you going to confess, or should I investigate?”

Elijah trembled. After some dilemmas, he finally spoke, “It’s not sulfuric acid. It’s an S40 strong corrosive agent.”

“What is that?”

“It’s a liquid similar to sulfuric acid but with even stronger corrosive properties. If it comes into contact with the skin, the burns will be more severe. Regular ointments won’t heal it, and the recovery time will be long. Moreover, the scars are hard to get rid of. However, it doesn’t harm the internal organs.”

“Who told you about this?”

Elijah replied. “I didn’t know until last night. Nathaniel told me himself, and he even said he stole it from a war laboratory.”

“Really?”

Elijah nodded. “Yes.”

Sheena had not heard of this substance before, but the explanation seemed to match his injury.

However, was it really just a superficial wound?

She stared at Elijah for a while. It seemed she would not get any more answers tonight. Since it was something from a war laboratory, she would inquire with Corey tomorrow. he surely knew about it.

She returned to sit on the edge of the bed, her tone displeased. “You’re indeed dishonest. Tonight, you’ve spun several lies because of this wound. Can you even keep track of them yourself?”

Seeing that she seemed to believe him, Elijah quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are you angry?”

Sheena remained silent, turning her face away, exuding an extreme chill. It seemed she was genuinely annoyed, too upset to bother acknowledging him.

Realizing this, Elijah refrained from standing up. Instead, he kneeled in front of her, delicately holding her small hand and then pressing it against his abdomen.

With a gentle and soothing tone, he said, “I was wrong. It’s just a superficial wound. I know you don’t like being indebted to others, so I didn’t want you to feel guilty. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. Please don’t be angry. How about letting you pinch my abs?”

“Who cares about your abs!” Sheena angrily pulled her hand back, giving him a disapproving glare.

“Well… how about using the belt I gave you to whip me and vent your anger?”
