Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1323

"No, he's quite cunning. I planned to lure him out, but the one who came to see me was just an impostor. In the end, it was his body double who ended up dead," Elliot revealed.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Apart from the hum of the humidifier and Asher's occasional coos, the room was unusually quiet.

"So, that's why you quietly issued an arrest warrant. You want to get that cunning man."

Nathaniel could not help but imagine how tense the situation must have been when they were at loggerheads with the enemy.

Elliot chuckled disdainfully, his gaze sharp and his aura intimidating.

His mere presence could send shivers down one's spine.

"Even though we didn't catch him, I have a rough idea of his appearance. With the arrest warrant issued, his movements will be restricted, and it's only a matter of time before we get him," Elliot asserted confidently.

Nathaniel nodded in agreement, understanding the gravity of the situation.

He looked at Elliot and noticed his bloodshot eyes, thinking it must have been from the sleepless nights over this matter.

For once, Nathaniel suggested with concern, "You should get some rest. I'll take care of Asher."

Elliot smirked and clicked his tongue before silently leaving the room.

In the simple resting room of the hospital, a slender figure sitting on the bed with her back to the door.

Her smooth and alluring back gleamed under the dim yellow light, her fair skin radiating a subtle glow.

As Elliot gently pushed the door open and stepped inside, he was greeted by this enchanting sight.

His throat felt dry, and he swallowed hard, taking cautious steps toward her.

It was not until he got closer that Elliot noticed the faint red marks on her back, and he froze in place.

Jacob had only mentioned that she volunteered to be tied up in the basement to prevent the enemies from catching on, but he did not share much detail beyond that.

Nonetheless, Elliot's heart ached even more when he saw the marks.

Sheena stretched her arm, attempting to apply ointment to the cotton swab and touch the marks on her back.

With that, he kissed Sheena's forehead and whispered, "I'm going to take a shower in the bathroom."

Sheena nodded.

She could hear the running water from the bathroom as she lay on her side of the bed.

Gradually, Sheena drifted into a dream.

Late at night…

Feeling a slight chill on her back, Sheena instinctively shifted to the side, intending to cuddle up to Elliot, only to touch a cold emptiness.

It took her just a few seconds to shake off her drowsiness and become fully awake.

The bed beside her was empty, devoid of any warmth.

Where did Elliot go?
