Wait, She’s a Billionaire

Chapter 193

Elijah smirked, knowing full well he had no choice at all.

Due to prolonged standing, his wound on the waist had reopened, and blood oozed out, causing him moments of dizzying pain. The innermost white shirt got stained, sticking uncomfortably to the wound, but luckily, the black suit jacket concealed it, and Sheena remained oblivious.

Elijah bit his thin lips, trying hard to steady his breath and hide any signs of distress. ‘Fine, it’s just a year! I can do this,‘ Elijah thought as he took the syringe. Then, he rolled up the sleeves of his suit and shirt, targeting the spot on his arm. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Almost as if venting his frustration, Elijah forcefully injected the substance.

Sheena observed in silence, frowning when she saw him seemingly inflicting pain upon himself and thinking he was too prideful. Nonetheless, she had heard that this medication caused intense pain upon injection, and she was curious to see how long he could maintain his arrogance.

In just a few seconds, the syringe was emptied and fell to the ground with a thud.

Elijah had bitten his lower lip so hard that it started bleeding’as a wave of intense pain surged through him. He began to sweat profusely. In fact, every part of him was hurting, especially with the injury at his waist.

The agonizing pain lasted for two whole minutes before finally subsiding. However, he was completely exhausted seconds later.

He felt powerless, unable to stand steadily. Like a fragile leaf in the wind, he collapsed to the ground. As his eyes closed, a ringing echoed in his ears.

When the ringing subsided, he heard a pleasant voice saying, “The initial reaction to this medication is quite intense. Bear with it.“/

Elijah lowered his head and gently pursed his pale lips. As he closed his eyes, his long lashes trembled. It was as if he was enduring immense pain.

Just as he began to ease a bit, the sound of high heels approached, growing louder from the distance.

Sheena glanced at Elijah from above before crouching down and forcibly lifting his chin to scrutinize him carefully.

Unlike his usual domineering masculine appearance, he now appeared sickly pale, a sight that almost begged to be bullied. When he opened his eyes slightly, the once fierce gaze now carried an unnoticeable hint of vulnerability.

What a rare sight!

Admiring his fragile appearance, Sheena smiled in satisfaction. “Good boy. Now, call me My Lady.”

Elijah’s face twisted with displeasure at her teasing words, a profound sense of humiliation welling inside him. He glared at her and exerted all his strength to break free from her grip, stubbornly turning his face away.

Sheena decided not to push him further. After all, he had never faced such a humiliating situation before, and adjusting to this would take some time. She knew she would need to guide and teach him patiently.

Sheena ignored the weakened Elijah on the floor, giving him time to adapt to the effects of the medication.

Returning to her desk, she resumed dealing with work. Aside from handling matters related to Angle Group, she now had to address the issues of the recently acquired Freeman Group.

Bethany had nearly ruined the Freeman Group, requiring a significant replacement of its core staff. Hence, Sheena estimated that she would be busy almost every day for the foreseeable future.

The light outside the windows gradually dimmed, and Sheena did not realize it was already 8

p.m.

The office was quiet, except for the sound of her fingers tapping on the keyboard.

Sheena shut her laptop, rubbing her tired neck. As she remembered that it had been over an hour, she wondered why there was no movement from Elijah.

What was he up to now?

Sheena went to check on Elijah, who was lying on the floor. His long legs were slightly bent, eyes tightly shut, and brows furrowed as if enduring immense pain even in his sleep.

Sheena was skeptical and called out to him, “Elijah, stop pretending. Get up.”

His frown deepened, not responding to her at all.
