Elliot remained calm as if the news was not directed at him.
“So, you’re saying that if the virus isn’t well suppressed, I might suddenly die one day?” Elliot asked, his tone reflecting the gravity of the situation.
Yosef lowered his head, not providing a direct answer, seemingly implying an affirmative response.
Elliot fell into silence. He had assumed that with the suppressant, his body would be fine for decades at least. If he had known it would be like this, he might have preferred Sheena not knowing he was still alive, sparing her from the future pain of his death.
Lionel could not hold back in the heavy atmosphere and silently shed tears while standing on the side.
Hearing the sobbing, Elliot glanced at him, asking, “Why are you crying? I’m not dead yet.”
“I–I just think…” Lionel began, finding it hard to articulate his pity for Elliot.
Elliot was not even thirty years old, yet he would have to endure constant pain and live his days in constant worry!

Scratching his head awkwardly, Yosef interrupted, “It’s not that bad, really. I’m just saying ‘if‘. Based on the current situation, as long as he cooperates with the treatment and maintains good immunity, my suppressant should at least keep Elliot going for another twenty years.”
Lionel still appeared sad and asked, “And what will happen after those twenty years?”
Yosef sent a reassuring look to Elliot. “After twenty years, who knows? I might have developed the cure long before then. Elliot could live to a hundred when that happens!”
With a glimmer of hope for a possible cure, the mood in the room gradually lightened.
Lionel grabbed tissues to wipe his nose, looking a little annoyed. “Stop with the suspense and tell us everything at once next time! You scared the hell out of us!” Yosef chuckled, giving Elliot another injection to reinforce the suppressant’s effect. He then prescribed medicines to aid wound healing and control angina.

Additionally, he also advised Elliot to restrain his instincts until his injuries fully healed, emphasizing no more intense activities in that regard.
Although Elliot verbally agreed, his mind seemed elsewhere, not fully attentive.
When they exited the lab, it was almost tfor Sheena to get off work. Elliot
was about to return to his car to pick her up from the Angle Group when Corey, clad in a dark aviation uniform, approached with a cold and menacing expression.
Corey’s wife, Barbara Lawson, also accompanied him, and both seemed displeased.
It appeared they had hurried over straight from the airport, and their expressions hinted at trouble.
Lionel politely greeted, “Hello, Mr. Corey and Mrs. Barbara.”
Barbara nodded in acknowledgment, but Corey ignored the pleasantries and headed straight for Elliot.
Considering their past relationship as brothers–in–law, it was important to maintain good terms. Elliot suppressed any hint of surprise, asking, “Mr. Corey, what brings you to visit Svelton so suddenly?”
Corey halted about a meter away from Elliot, pulling out a gun and aiming it at his head, a menacing aura emanating from him.
Lionel, bewildered, exclaimed, “Mr. Corey?!”
Mr.
However, Elliot appeared unfazed. With his hands casually inserted into his suit pockets, he calmly met Corey’s gaze, saying, “What’s the meaning of this, Corey?”

with murderous intent, declared, “I want you dead!”
Meanwhile, in the offices of Angle Group, Sheena waited for Elliot to pick her up for dinner. Elliot was known for being punctual, and as minutes passed without him, Sheena grew concerned.
Just as she was about to call him, she received a text message from Lionel.
[Lionel: Mr. Corey wants to kill Mr. Jenkins. We’re at the lab.]
Why did Corey suddenly return?
Sheena was puzzled, but she soon remembered her phone call to Corey a few days ago when she was investigating Elliot’s overseas records.
“Shit!” Sheena immediately grabbed her bag and swiftly hailed a taxi, heading
