I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Sheena was deep in thought while sauteing the vegetables in butter to soften them when John suddenly looked horrified.

“Ms. Lawson! The vegetables! The vegetables!” John exclaimed.

Sheena was puzzled.

“They’re burnt! The vegetables are burnt!”

Sheena quickly caught a whiff of the smell, and she finally realized what had happened, immediately turning off the heat. Fortunately, they were only slightly burnt, and after adding chicken stock and other ingredients, the soup should still be drinkable.

She instructed John to investigate the matter as per her previous orders and then took a small bowl from the cupboard. As she went upstairs with the chicken soup, she noticed that Elijah’s door was not completely closed, leaving a gap. She was about to push the door open but glimpsed Elijah rolling up his pant leg, applying medicine to his knees through the crack.

His skin had become fragile, and after kneeling last night, his entire knees to the calves were injured and discolored, covered in bruises.

Sheena frowned. Though he had knelt for a similar duration as she had initially, his knee injuries seemed much more severe.

Since signing the agreement with her, she could not remember how many times he had voluntarily or involuntarily knelt, and the injuries on his body never seemed to heal.
