“Hm?” Not getting an immediate response, Sheena’s expression grew colder. She pinched the soft flesh on Elijah’s lower back and asked, “Are you contemplating which excuse sounds better to deceive me with?”

Caught in his thoughts, Elijah began to explain in a solemn tone. “It was Lionel. I didn’t want the wound to scar, so I had him bring a box of scar removal cream. It’s in the first drawer of the bedside

table.”

“As for the wound on my back, Lionel applied the ointment. The improvement in my condition is thanks to your antidote, which helped restore some of my strength.”

Sheena was amused by Elijah’s reply, teasing, “If it’s just a box of scar removal cream, he could’ve given it to Ford to pass on to you. As for your injury, Ford could apply the ointment for you. Yet, Lionel drugged my people and invaded the mansion. Do you think I’ll believe that?”

Unfazed, Elijah calmly continued, “He acted recklessly in this matter. I’ll make sure he apologizes to Ford and the others next time.”

Meanwhile, Lionel, leisurely leaving the mansion area, sneezed twice, unaware that he was being blamed for this.
