Chapter 376

Elijah did not have much strength left. However, when he noticed that Sheena was about to remove his arm from around her waist forcefully, he pleaded softly, his voice weak and tender.

“Please… just let me hold you for a little while, just this once…”

For the last time…

Even if he survived the ambush outside the eastern outskirts in three days, returning to Svelton to resolve the family turmoil would still be dangerous. He wanted to remember her scent and the warmth of her embrace in these final

moments.

Sheena, with a hardened heart, continued to pry his hand away. “Let go. I need to go to the study!”

“Please don’t. I’m begging you…”

His voice was barely audible, filled with sorrow.

Sheena abruptly froze. Did he just use the word “beg“?

Recently, he had been playful, submissive, and feigning vulnerability, but she knew that deep down, he was always prideful. This was the first time he had used the word “beg.”

Sheena did not say anything more, allowing Elijah to hold her.

The room was silent, seemingly peaceful. Everything appeared calm, but Elijah’s brow furrowed more and more with each passing moment. With every breath, his entire body throbbed with pain. Moreover, the pain kept intensifying, growing more unbearable as he had not applied any medicine.
