Chapter 451

Sheena's heart twinged with pain. If she had not witnessed it herself, she would not have felt so keenly how much Elliot had suffered for her, enduring severe injuries and pain. Guilt, self-blame, and sadness overwhelmed her. While Sheena's mind was buzzing, Elliot led her away from the Jenkins family estate. It was not until they were in the car that she teared up. Elliot embraced her, kissing her forehead with a tinge of remorse. "Did it scare you? It's my fault. there's nothing pleasant about such a bloody scene. I should've let Lionel take you outside." Sheena's nose tingled as she buried her face in his neck, sobbing softly. "I should be the one saying sorry. I now realize how severe the whipping you endured was. I regret not offering comfort back then. I was even harsh to you. I'm truly awful." "Nonsense." Elliot cupped her tear-streaked face, speaking earnestly, "Scolding is a form of affection. If you scold me, it means you care about me. I'm happy about that."
