Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1287

After leaving the hospital waiting room, Elliot took Nathaniel to visit Asher's ward first.

Sheena was sleeping by Asher's bedside.

Before boarding the return flight, Sheena was exhausted after their intense night.

She only felt better when Elliot massaged her the following day.

When they returned to Svelton, they received news about Asher's condition, leaving Sheena worried all day.

Elliot knew she was physically and mentally drained.

Not wanting to disturb her, Elliot quietly approached Sheena and covered her with a thin blanket. Then, he leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek.

Sheena slept soundly, undisturbed by his actions.

Nathaniel watched silently from the doorway, his blue eyes revealing no emotion.

After leaving the hospital, Elliot and Nathaniel went straight to the National Investigation Bureau.

Since it was late at night, only a few officers were working overtime.

Lionel was already asleep but hurried back upon hearing that Elliot was there to investigate the formula incident.

When Elliot and Nathaniel arrived at the National Investigation Bureau, Lionel was already waiting anxiously in the cold wind.

He rubbed his hands together and rushed to open the car door for Elliot.

When he saw Elliot's serious expression, he asked anxiously, "Elliot, how's Asher? Is he doing okay? I heard it's related to the formula he was drinking."

Elliot did not answer. Instead, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Asher is my beloved nephew, and someone tried to harm him. How could I sleep? As soon as I heard you were coming to investigate, I rushed over."

Elliot was not surprised by Lionel's reply, patting Lionel's shoulder as he replied, "The situation is uncertain. We need to wait until Asher is older to test for any residual bio-virus. Right now, the most pressing issue is his heart condition. Nana is watching over him."

Nathaniel smirked and replied, "I'm not here as a suspect. I'm here as Mr. Jenkins's assistant to help with the investigation."

Lionel clicked his tongue and teased, "It's late. What are you doing here investigating and not resting? Are you out of your mind?"

Feeling unfairly targeted, Nathaniel frowned and retorted, "Aren't you the same? Rushing over when you heard the news? Are you out of your mind?"

"I'm the deputy chief of the National Investigation Bureau, with official duties. Besides, Asher is my nephew. It's only reasonable for me to come."

Nathaniel scoffed. "I'm Asher's godfather. I came here tonight at Mr. Jenkins's invitation. So, it's even more reasonable for me to be here."

Lionel was taken aback, glancing at Elliot, who continued walking ahead without turning or speaking, treating them both as if they were invisible.

However, his lack of rebuttal confirmed Nathaniel's statement.

Lionel grinned mischievously, patting Nathaniel's shoulder.

"Well done. If Elliot trusts you, it seems you've truly turned over a new leaf and are determined to do better."
