Chapter 231
A voice interrupted. “Sienna”
At the sound of that voice, both Sienna and Cedric looked up at the same time. Josiah approached, wearing a lightweight cashmere sweater instead of a suit. He smiled, but his expression was noticeably cool and indifferent.
Sienna’s heart skipped a bear, and she quickly stood up. You’re here.”
“Josiah” Cedric supported his injured arm, a smile on his face.
Josiah reached out, taking Sienna’s hand easily and pulling her into an embrace. He brushed her cheek gently and spoke softly. “Were you It’s just a watch; if it’s lost, let it be
“Why chase after it? Now, let me see, did you get hurt?” His tone was warm, as if he wasn’t aware of the world around them.
Tm fine; it’s Cedric who is hurt. Sienna furrowed her brow, turning her face slightly in discomfort.
Josiah paused, his gaze darkening. Is she refusing to let me hug her because of Cedric
scared?
He withdrew his hand, keeping his cool as he turned to Cedric. Thank goodness you were here tonight. You really saved my dear! What would I do if something happened to Sienna?“
Cedric managed a smile. “You’re too kind, Josiah I wa
vas just in the right place at the right time..
Just then, Zach arrived. Josiah waved him over. “Over here,”
“Yes, Mr. Flynn.”
“Finally, you’re here” Josiah pointed to Cedric, telling Zach. “Mr. Brawne is in your care now. He saved Sienna: arrange for the operation and nursing care.. it all must be the best
Zach said. “Yes, Mr. Flynn”
“Let’s go After giving his instructions, Josiah took Sienna’s hand and started to leave “Wait!” Sienna was taken aback, her eyes wide with disbelief. Where are you taking me?”
Josiah gave a faint smile, his tone casual. “We re going home; where else could we go?
Sienna fel a mix of anger and disbelief. Since he got to the hospital, she could tell he was upset, but she never thought he would act so rudely.
She tried to break free from his grip. “If you want to go back, you can I refuse to leave here with you.”
“You won’t come with me?” Josiah held her firmly, not letting her escape. “Do you want to spend the night in the hospital with your ex–boyfriend, feeling sorry for him?” –
Sienna’s breath caught, and her face paled, “Cedric is hurt because of me, he is still waiting for surgery. It’s not right or reasonable for me to leave at a time like this
“Zach is here?” Josiah shot back, his eyes narrowing. I will ensure he has the best doctors, the finest hospital room, and the best nurses! Isn’t that
“Those are basic expectations Sienna forced a smile that showed her strain. “At least let me stay until his surgery is done…
“Why should 1” Josiah looked at her and sneered.
Sienna thought he was being unbelievable.
“Sienna” Josiah focused on her shocked face, his voice cold. I’m grateful he saved you and I won’t hold back my thanks or rewards. But I won’t let you show him even a bit more concern!”
You wa
want to stay with him! No way! With a firm grip, he pulled her along “We’re going back”
“I won’t!” Sienna was furious; he was too
is too bossy.
“Get in!” Josiah ignored her protests, shoving her into the car and slamming the door shut behind her

“Let me out!” Sienna tried to cling to the door, but it was locked. She turned, glaring at him, “Josiah, you really show what it means to be selfish!”
“What?” Josiah was leaning in to fasten her seatbelt
“Do you not get it” Sienna looked at him. “You can leave me mid–date to care for your beloved, yet I can’t wait for my friend during surgery!”
Josiah’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’re blaming me?”
“Not at all!” Sienna shook her head. I’m talking about fairness! I didn’t stop you from caring for your beloved; I just asked that you not stop me from being with my friend during surgery. Is that too much to ask?”
“Friend?” Josiah grabbed her wrist, smirking. “You’ve known Cedric for only a few days! How long have I known Yvette! Are you really comparing Cedric to Yvette? Is he even worthy!”
He released her with a light, mocking laugh. “Look at you, making all this fuss for your ex–boyfriend. Don’t tell me his injury tonight has made you think about him again!”
Sienna was stunned and speechless. She thought Josiah was an unreasonable lunatic. She turned away in frustration, shutting her eyes to block him
OUL
Josiah interpreted her silence as a sign of guilt. Coldly avoiding her gaze, he started the car. The interior of the car felt suffocatingly quiet. As soon as the car door unlocked, Sienna jumped out of the car, and headed straight for the gate.
“Where are you going?” Josiah’s voice was sharp behind her. Sienna didn’t want to argue, so she kept walking.
“Going to the hospital? To see your ex–boyfriend?” Josiah’s laugh felt cold. “Go ahead. I won’t stop you.”
Sienna doubted his generosity. Sure enough, in the next breath, he added. “I’ve already informed his parents; they’ve arrived at the hospital by
now.
Sienna froze, her body stiffening. Josiah gave her a slight, chilling smile, then turned to walk away. Sienna spun around but only saw his indifferent
Not seeing Josiah in the bedroom, Sienna guessed he had gone to his study. It always happened–whenever they fought, he would hide away in his study. She wouldn’t comfort him because she believed that it was he who was in the wrong
Sienna headed to her closet for clothes, showered, and went to bed.
The next day, at dawn, Josiah woke up, feeling sore all over from sleeping on the uncomfortable sofa in his study. He checked his phone, seeing missed calls or messages.
Sienna hadn’t tried to find him all night. Josiah tossed his phone aside, wondering what he had been expecting.
Footsteps sounded outside. He thought it was Sienna getting up to look for him. But no, the footsteps drew closer and then faded away.

After hanging up, he got up and returned to the master bedroom. Once he finished his morning already in the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast.
When she saw him, she brought him some food. “Mr. Flynn, here you go.”
“Hmm.” Josiah pulled out a chair and sat down. He took a sip of his coffee when his phone rang. “Hello”
“Mr. Flynn, Sienna went to the hospital”
