The alarm clock on the bedside table rang
It was Phoebe’s wrap–up day on the set, a significant occasion. Sheena had to get up early to go and offer her congratulations and a wrap–up gift. Despite her weariness, she forced herself to get up and freshen up
Elliot woke up too. His eyelashes trembled slightly as he half–opened his eyes, frowning slightly
In his line of sight, there was only darkness, no hint of light.
He had not realized what was happening yet and asked, “Nana, did you close the window? It’s a bit
dark in here.”

Turning her head toward the wide–open window, she said, “No, the window is open. What’s wrong?”
Elliot’s heart sank suddenly.
Did he lose his vision again?
How long would it take to recover this time?
His tone remained steady, showing no signs of panic as he replied, “It’s okay. Maybe I’m still not fully awake from last night. I’ll go back to sleep for a bit.”
He closed his eyes again and calmly retreated under the covers.
Sheena chuckled, sat on the edge of his bed, and gently stroked his face.
“You’re always talking about sleeping with me, but it seems even the naughty boyfriend can get tired
sometimes.”
Elliot responded with a faint smile, still keeping his eyes closed.
“You go ahead and do your things. No need to leave breakfast for me. I’ll make it when I wake up.”
“Alright, take care. Have the next two days off to rest and recover. Stop thinking about sleeping with “Alright, take care. Have thall the time!”
Elliot obediently nodded. “Got it.”

Sheena cupped his face, planted a kiss, and then got up to continue with her makeup.
For Sheena, a daily makeup routine took only ten minutes. When she finished, Elliot was still sound asleep. Not wanting to disturb him, she left the room with light footsteps.

She rushed upstairs, pushing open the bedroom door.
Elliot, who had been sleeping on the large bed, was nowhere to be seen. The room was empty, showing no signs of recent occupancy.
Sheena was baffled.
How could Elliot have gotten up so quickly when she had only been gone for a short while?
“Eli?”
As she called out, she reached out to touch the bedding. There was still warmth, indicating that he had just gotten up. However, the entire mansion was eerily quiet, with no response to her call.
Sheena searched every room, but there was no sign of Elliot.
Had he left the house so quickly?
If so, why did she not see him on her way back?
She immediately called Lionel, “Did Eli go to work?”
Lionel was puzzled. “No. I’m on my way to E&S Haven right now.”
