Chapter 345
His heart ached dearly, and the stifling sensation in his chest almost made it difficult to breathe.
What should he do to win back her heart?
Sheena turned, fetched a stool beside the small sofa in the room, and sat across from him with a
serious expression.
“Giving you the antidote isn’t an attempt to forcibly terminate the agreement. I just think you’ve been in
constant pain lately, and due to Compound 023, the pain has intensified. Since you saved me this time,
I’m helping you relieve the severe pain. Consider this a settlement of what I owe you.”
Elijah stared at her in silence.
Sheena continued, “Regarding the employment agreement, since we already settled it last time, and I
have your recorded promise, I won’t bring–it up again.”
Did this mean she no longer had the initial wariness toward him?
Did it suggest that everything he had done recently brought him closer to her?
“Aren’t you afraid that by giving me the antidote, I might overpower you in the future and mistreat you?”
Elijah asked.
Sheena smirked and countered, “Will you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElijah smiled and gave a decisive answer, “I won’t.”
However, Sheena suddenly narrowed her eyes, a sly grin forming. “Then, aren’t you afraid that what
I’ve given you isn’t the antidote for 023 but a more intense and tormenting drug?”
“I trust you won’t,” Elijah replied.
Even if Sheena were to be that heartless, he would inject it without hesitation if it was her
request.
“You’re right. I won’t. So, this is a genuine antidote, and it’s already in your hands. Inject it now,”
Sheena said in a nonchalant tone.
Now?
Elijah lowered his head, looking at the box in his hands. He was pushing himself to the limit, feeling
utterly exhausted. If he were to inject now, Sheena would surely detect that something was off with his
body.
Moreover, Sheena did not like owing favors.
Would she feel guilty if she knew that it was not sulfuric acid at the bar that night but the S404?
Yet, guilt was not love… /
Elijah remained silent, unmoving.
“What’s the matter? Are you genuinely afraid I’ll play tricks on you?” Sheena asked.
Elijah shook his head, his low voice weak as he said, “I injected it myself last time. This time… would
you help me, please?”
He handed her the sleek black box, sounding pitiful. However, Sheena did not take it, deeply locking
eyes with him.
He added, “Just this once.”
Sheena accepted but noticed he did not make a move to undress. Instead, he reclined back onto the
chair.
“What are you doing? Take off your clothes. I need your arm,” Sheena commanded.
Elijah tilted his head, revealing his pale–as–paper neck with his seductive Adam’s apple that moved
enticingly.
“Inject it into the jugular vein.”
Sheena gave him a disdainful look but did not hesitate, administering the injection with minimal force.
Injecting into the jugular vein was painful, yet Elijah only faintly furrowed his brow, showing little

It was just a thin little needle, and they were done in just ten seconds.
Sheena casually tossed it into the trash bin. When she turned back, she found Elijah
motionless, still gazing at the sunset. He seemed languid, lacking energy. Sheena had a feeling that
something was off about him.
Just as she was about to inquire further, Elijah spoke first, asking calmly, “Sheena, if I were to die,
would you remember me forever?”
His voice carried a hint of nonchalance.
Sheena scoffed. “No. If you were to die, I’d quickly forget about you and move on with my life. They say
only the good guys die young. A man as evil as you probably won’t die so easily.”
Elijah chuckled lightly, his tone tinged with a faint affection. “You’re truly… a heartless, wicked woman.”
Ironically, he loved her ruthlessness, her cruelty, and everything about her.
He was deeply entangled, unable to break free.
