Soon after, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Elliot.

As Chad exited the room, he bumped into Chelsea who was on her way over.

She was not wearing any makeup, and her face looked unusually haggard. 1

Chat approached her, intending to speak to her, but in the end, he said nothing. 3

Chelsea entered Elliot's office and shut the door behind her.

"I'm sorry, Elliot," she said in a hoarse voice as she stood in front of Elliot. "This was all due to my

brother's scheme. He knew that you were still recovering, so he made you go up that hill. It's an

especially steep hill. We don't usually go up there ourselves. He wanted you dead." 1

Elliot stared silently at her pale face, then said, "I know."

"I'm sorry. He won't apologize to you. He already left the country," Chelsea said through the lump in her

throat. "Please forgive my family, Elliot. My father's getting old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to

handle the backlash. If you have to punish someone, then punish me. I'll take it all without question."

Elliot continued to stare at her in silence.
