Chapter 334
Lionel saw Elijah sitting on the edge of the bed, brows slightly furrowed as if trying to endure
something. He quickly went over and gave Elijah a supportive hand, noticing Elijah’s icy hand.
“Mr. Freeman, you look terrible.”
“I’m fine.”
Elijah’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he masked the intense pain in his back, appearing exceptionally
stern.
In a strained voice, he asked, “Where’s Ian?”
“I found him. He explained that he saw the man who ordered him to harm Sheena but couldn’t catch
1. up. I had no evidence, so I let him return to Ocean Avenue. He’ll report this to Sheena when the
time comes.”
Elijah’s throat was hurting, but he still forcefully said, “Have someone watch over Ian and report
immediately if there’s any movement. At the police station, request the release of the man who threw
sulfuric acid last night in the name of the National Investigation Bureau. If Sheena wants to interrogate
him, make sure they cooperate fully.”

Elijah wanted to say more, but his arm supporting him suddenly trembled, and his entire body felt
weightless.
Lionel observed his condition, clearly sensing something was wrong, and asked, “Mr. Freeman, even if
you were injected with the modified drug, sulfuric acid only harms the skin. How can you be so
weakened?”
Elijah remained silent.
Lionel approached him, intending to inspect his injuries.
Frowning, Elijah’s tone turned icy and scolded, “Let go. Your audacity is growing.”
Lionel insisted. “Let me take a look. If you want to punish me afterward, go ahead. I just can’t rest
without seeing it for myself!”
Seeing that Lionel was so determined, Elijah finally admitted, “It’s not sulfuric acid. It should be the
S404 biochemical agent.‘
“What?” Lionel’s hand jerked back, face turning pale.
S404 was a newly developed weapon from the war lab. It not only burned the skin but also had internal
effects. Due to its experimental nature, there was currently no cure for the internal damage, making the
harm potentially irreversible.
Lionel’s eyes reddened, and he mumbled in disbelief, “How could this happen? S404 is clearly banned,
and only a dozen samples are known to exist in the military. There shouldn’t be any…
Lionel abruptly stopped mid–sentence as he realized something, and he looked at Elijah in

Arrange for someone to keep him in Farlem by any means necessary. Also, have the Special
Investigation Department thoroughly investigate if there are any records of accessing the drug
depository. Not a single bottle of S404 should be missing.”
Elijah covered his mouth, a fit of coughing seizing him, yet his every move remained composed and
elegant.
Lionel quickly helped him, patting his back to ease the discomfort.
After catching his breath, Elijah continued, “If anything seems amiss, I don’t care whether Nathaniel is

The situation was mysterious, and regardless of whether S404 was intended for Sheena or him, it
would involve many people.
“Yes, Mr. Freeman,” Lionel replied dutifully, but his greater concern was Elijah’s health.

“Mr. Freeman, what if we go back? Perhaps they can develop a treatment there. At the very least, it
could ease the effects and pain caused by S404 on your body. We could also deal with the 023 you’re
currently on.”
Elijah replied without hesitation, “No need.”
He could not afford to expose himself to be stronger than Sheena. As long as he wished to stay by her
side, maintaining a vulnerable front was important. If she noticed anything different, she might have
misunderstood him again.
Elijah had worked hard to improve her perception of him, and he could not afford to undo that
progress.
Lionel was frustrated at how stubborn Elijah was.
“Is pursuing your ex–wife more important than taking care of your own health? We don’t even have
data on the effects of S404 on the human body yet! Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be around anymore
when you finally win over Ms. Sheena?”
