I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 83
In the early hours of the morning, Jennifer was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The initial diagnosis from the doctor indicated two fractured ribs, mild concussion, and other minor and major injuries. Luckily,
there was nothing life–threatening.
Elijah sat alone on a bench outside the operating room, lost in thought. After the incident, he asked Leon to inform the Moore
family, but Kennedy and Vanessa only rushed to the hospital when the sun had risen.
“Oh, my beloved Jenny! How could something like this happen!” Vanessa’s wailing voice echoed down the corridor, but oddly,
her eyes remained dry. Not only that, but it seemed as if she was secretly happy about what had happened.
In contrast, Kennedy approached Elijah with a sorrowful expression. Seeing Elijah’s solemn gaze, he offered some comforting
words.
Elijah politely replied, “Please, have a seat, Uncle and Auntie.”
Kennedy, unwilling to be dismissed, asked, “Mr. Freeman, what exactly happened? How did Jenny end up like this? Who did this
to her?”
Hannah had recently been in a car accident and was still in a vegetative state, and now Jennifer was also in a similar condition.
Was someone deliberately targeting the Moore family, or was it just a run of bad luck?
Elijah hesitated before answering, “Leon is already investigating.”
Seeing Elijah’s indifference, Kennedy refrained from pressing the matter and sat on a nearby bench to wait. Hardly two minutes
after sitting down, the operating room lights turned off.
The doctor informed them that Jennifer’s surgery had been successful, and she only needed to take it easy for a while. Then,
Jennifer was moved to a regular VIP ward.

Following that, they went to visit Jennifer in her ward.
Jennifer was wrapped in thick bandages, and she had just regained consciousness. Her swollen eyes struggled to open, and as
soon as she saw Elijah enter, tears started streaming down her face.
“Eli, I might have died if it weren’t for you. Luckily, you came in time, so I wasn’t humiliated by those thugs. Eli, I can’t be without
you. Will you stay here with me?”
Jennifer weakly held his hand, completely surprised that the plan had backfired on her. Originally, when she had sent that text to
Elijah with the intention to provoke him and make him realize Sheena was just a cheap woman who could be used by anyone
and redirect his attention back to her.
She never expected to be the one suffering instead, and the message had saved her own life.
Elijah sat by her side and replied with a simple grunt.
Jennifer felt a bit disheartened by Elijah’s coldness. “Eli, can’t you say something to comfort me? Do you not love me anymore
because I look terrible?”
Before Elijah could reply, Kennedy chimed in, “Jenny, don’t be ridiculous. Of course he still loves you. Tell us who did this to you.
I’ll make sure justice is served.”
“I...” Jennifer began.
Then, she acted as if she was recalling the painful memories and started to sob.
“I only remember Sheena saying she needed to see me. I took a taxi from home, and someone knocked me out on the way
there. When I woke up, I was in that dark cabin. They hit me, kicked me, and said Sheena ordered them to torture me... I was so

scared, really scared,” Jennifer whimpered, curling up in a ball, visibly distraught.
Kennedy was furious and turned to Elijah. “Mr. Freeman, you’re Jenny’s fiance. You can’t just ignore this, can you? No matter
what, Sheena is involved in this. Isn’t this an insult to you and the Freeman family too? You have to stand up for Jenny!”
Kennedy was a seasoned player in the business world. He was aware that Sheena was under Skye’s protection. Since the
Moore family had limited influence and could not take action, he shifted the responsibility onto Elijah instead.

Elijah replied, “If Jenny has truly been wronged, I’ll help her, but she needs to tell me exactly what happened.”
Jennifer froze. After all, she had fabricated the entire story and was likely to expose herself if she said too much. Moreover, Elijah
was smart, and even the slightest inconsistency could raise suspicions,
Hence, Jennifer had to play along for now and discuss a strategy with Katie later. With that in mind, she clutched her head,
looking distressed.
“My head hurts so much! I can’t remember anything...”
Seeing this, Kennedy said, “Jenny, you’ve just woken up. Thinking about all this won’t help your recovery. Elijah, why don’t we
step outside and let her rest?”
Elijah nodded in agreement.
As the group turned to leave, the door suddenly swung open, and two handsome, muscular men entered first.

Kennedy and Vanessa were baffled by the unexpected intrusion. The two men positioned themselves on either side of the door.
Then, Sheena walked in with high heels and striking red lips.
Upon seeing her, even Vanessa, who had been silent all this time, was stunned. After all, they were just discussing how to deal
with her. It was too audacious of her to barge in just like that!
Vanessa was far from pleased with Sheena’s attitude, adding fuel to the fire by whispering to Kennedy, “Honey, can you believe
her audacity? Is she here to check if Jennifer is dead?”
Kennedy’s expression darkened.“You came just in time. We have scores to settle regarding the harm you caused to Jennifer.”
Elijah stood silently nearby. Even so, his imposing height alone caught everyone’s attention.
Sheena glanced in Elijah’s direction, only to find him staring at her since she entered. However, she could not read his gaze and
quickly looked away, refocusing on Kennedy.
With a smile, Sheena said, “Mr. Moore, you’re not entirely wrong. There is indeed a matter to address between Jennifer and me,
but it’s not what you’re thinking.”
“What do you mean?” Kennedy’s suspicion grew.
Seeing Sheena audaciously barging into the hospital room, Jennifer’s heart raced, and she instinctively shrank behind Kennedy,
who was nearest. After all, she had suffered at Sheena’s hands twice before.
“Dad, help me! She’s trying to hurt me! She must be! I’m scared... I don’t want to see her...” Jennifer cried.
