Chapter 287

Elijah’s throat was hoarse, and he had no intention of speaking. He turned over and continued sleeping.

When Elijah arrived last night and heard Sheena’s shout, he lost his mind seeing her jump into the river. The heart–wrenching feeling that almost suffocated him. Even thinking about sent painful tremors through his heart.

Seeing Elijah ignoring him, Lionel knew he would not listen. After following Elijah for so many years, it was the first time he had seen him fight so desperately for someone.

“Mr. Freeman, rest well. Just call me if you need anything. Don’t push yourself too hard.” Lionel sighed helplessly, poured a cup of hot water at the bedside, and left after closing the door behind him.

Still running a fever and feeling groggy, Elijah soon fell back asleep.

Lionel went downstairs to the basement, a gloomy expression clouding his face.

Logan and the others were guarding the basement entrance while John and Sawyer had long been awake. They were furious about being locked up, banging on the door and shouting.

Seeing Lionel approach, Logan asked, “How’s Mr. Freeman? Is he getting better?” Lionel nodded.

Logan sighed in relief and gritted his teeth. “Can’t we just get rid of these two? They’ve been cursing since they woke up. We can’t just leave them like this!!
