Josiah a heart sank with unease. “What on earth is so hard to say!”
Howard stayed silent, not responding
“Howard” Joul’s urgency grew. “Is it really that difficult to tell me?” He guessed. “Have you done something to hurt Yvette?
At this a brief flicker of emotion flashed in Howard’s eyes, as if confirming Josiali’s suspicion.

Josiah Hervey interjected, pulling Josiah back. “Howard knows what he’s doing: please don’t pressure him”
“Am I pressuring him” Josiah’s anger flared, veins standing out on his forehead as he glared at Howard. “Your personal matters are your own to handle, but I honestly hope you understand what you’re doing?”
Josiah pointed toward the ward “Today, Yvette just fainted from low blood sugar. But what if next time it’s worse! If she were truly in danger and needed you, would you be like today and not be there for her?”
At those words. Howard’s expression darkened, and he fell silent, seemingly at a loss for words, Josiah regarded Howard thoughtfully, his confusion and disappointment gradually fading into resignation.
your younger brother. I can say no more. Go inside and check on Yvette; she was just asking for you.” With that, Josiah walked out of the ward. “Howard.” Hervey looked at the quiet Howard, offering a bit of advice. “Maybe you should talk to Josiah He is your most trusted brother, and having his help could save much trouble.”
“Not Howard frowned and glanced at Hervey. I have my own plans for this”
“I see.” Hervey fell silent, not daring to say m

After Jonah left, Sienna found herself not wanting to watch the film anymore. With some time on her hands, it would be better to go back and keep Joyce company. She grabbed her bag and left the screening room
Ar this hour, the place was crowded, filled with people out for entertainment. Suddenly, a passerby bumped into her, and she twisted awkwardly. almost falling
“Are you alright?” Someone beside her reached out to steady her.
I’m fine. Thank you” Sienna managed a smile, but her relief was short–lived as she touched her wrist and realized her watch

The man glanced back nervously amid the crowd. “Stop right there! It’s you! Sienna pushed through the crowd, chasing the figure in the black cap “Don’t run““”
Suddenly, a familiar figure dashed out from behind her. Tall and recognizable, it was Cedric. Sienna was surprised to see him under these
circumstances
Watching hi

“Cedric!” Sienna rushed forward, horrified by the scene. She knelt beside him, supporting his weight. “Cedric! Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine. “Cedric steadied himself on his elbow, looking at Sienna with a faint smile. “Don’t worry, it’s just my arm. It’s nothing serious” Blood was seeping through his fingers as he gripped his arm.
“We need to get to a hospital, immediately!” Sienna urged, helping him to his feet. “Let’s go, right now!”
“Okay.” Cedric nodded, his expression apologetic. “I’m sorry; I couldn’t get your watch back.”
“Why are you even mentioning the watch at a time like this?” Sienna shook her head. Had she known chasing after a watch would get Cedric hurt, she would have never gone after it

“Mr. Flynn, Zaid replied, “I arrived at the time you said, but I haven’t seen Sienna, Plus, her phone is off”
Josiah frowned. “Alright, I will call her.
“Okay.”
After ending the call. Josiah quickly dialed Sienna. Like Zaid said, she didn’t pick up. Thinking that time, to his relief, she answered

“Sienna,” Josiah felt a wave of relief wash over him. Tm almost at the cinema; where are you? Which exit?”
To his si

Josiah froze, an uneasy feeling creeping over him. “Where are you?”
“Tm at the hospital. Sienna explained everything that had happened
“Okay, I’m on my way. After hanging up, worry clouded Josiah’s handsome features. ‘Cedric again. Would this ever end?”
At the hospital, Josiah arrived to find Sienna supporting Cedric as he sat on a bench. After returning from the ER, Cedric’s arm was worse than they’d thought–deep enough to risk nerve damage and needing surgery, which was being prepared.
ng with her, as every time Cedric crossed her path, he ended up hurt.
Sienna felt a mix of frustration and guilt, believing that something was wrong “This is all my fault.”
“Don’t say that” Cedric hated seeing her upset. “You didn’t stab me; blame the thief, not yourself. Don’t punish yourself for what someone else did, okay!”

“Don’t cry” Cedric pulled a tissue from his pocket, ready to wipe away her tears, but he paused. He felt he no longer had the right. “Here.” Cedric handed the tissue to her. “Wipe your tears; I still need you to help me out.
