Chapter 379

Seeing Elijah’s puzzled expression, with a faint touch of surprise in his eyes, Sheena explained, “You mentioned that regular ointments don’t work for injuries caused by the S40 corrosive agent. This box is a specialized ointment I had someone buy yesterday. Use it for the subsequent dressing, and it should speed up the healing.”

Elijah glanced at the ointment in his hand. Though she did not say it, he knew this ointment was only available in the war lab, probably arranged through Corey. It did have a decent curative effect, but since he harbored the S404 biochemical virus, this ointment would not be effective for his injuries.

“Thank you. This is the first gift you’ve given me since the divorce,” Elijah expressed, thumb gently caressing the ointment box. His eyes were slightly red, and miraculously, the pain from his wounds seemed to diminish.

“It doesn’t count as a gift. This time, you got hurt for me, so consider it my compensation. Also…” Sheena paused, smirking as she added, “If we’re counting actual gifts since the divorce, it would be the bankruptcy of the Freeman family, your employment contract, and the modified 023.”

Elijah stopped fiddling with the ointment box. Suddenly, he no longer felt moved.
