Elliot finally glanced over at the buckwheat buns wrapped in wax paper that Lionel had brought.
Despite being so angry earlier, Sheena still allowed Lionel to give him breakfast…
"What was her reaction?"
Lionel recalled the scene and replied, "She… didn't have much of a reaction. They hadn't started eating yet, so I just took a couple of buns, wrapped them up, and brought them here. You should eat something. You'll need the energy to bring Sheena back."
Elliot took the buns.
These were tough times. It was not the appropriate time to be throwing tantrums with Sheena.
While Elliot ate his breakfast, Lionel walked over to the stream, fingers playing with the clear water as he breathed in the fresh air.
"Elliot, what's the plan now? When are we bringing Sheena back?"
Elliot pondered, not answering right away.
He was thinking about the note Keaton had given him.
Keaton had provided the clue that led him to investigate Nathaniel's whereabouts.
Clearly, Keaton knew where Sheena was and had deliberately led him here.
Hence, Keaton was likely to make his move within the next couple of days.
"Get ten helicopters here, along with a team of special forces. Make sure they're fully armed. Tell Lance to station them in the nearby mountains, keeping this place surrounded. Have them check if anyone else is hiding in the mountains, and if anyone tries to sneak up, don't alert them. Let them pass. Also, if necessary, everyone's priority is to ensure Sheena's safety."
Lionel nodded. "Got it."
With the main tasks arranged, Elliot prepared to head back to the cabin.
Remembering how Sheena disliked the smell of smoke on him, he asked Lionel, "Is the smell of smoke on me strong?"
Lionel leaned in close, sniffing the collar of Elliot's shirt seriously.
"I'm not sensitive to cigarette smoke. I think… it's gone."
Not liking how near Lionel was, Elliot frowned and gave him a light slap on the head to push him away.
"Don't get too close to me."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
