Chapter 294
“Achool” Josiah, just off the plane, sneezed and rubbed his nose.
Zach quickly offered him his coat. “Mr. Flynn, be careful not to catch cold.”
Josiah put on the coat and left the airport. He was supposed to leave the country for two weeks but came back after only ten days. It was daytime in Jeixerity
Zach asked. “Mr. Flynn, should we go back to the office or
Josiah looked at the tired faces of the team with him. He said. “Everyone should go home to rest
“Thank you, Mr. Flynn
“Take care, Mr. Flynn.”
The
group broke
up, and Josiah got into the car, heading toward Silver Beach. As he leaned back in his seat, he felt completely exhausted. The last time he returned to Jelarity was so suddenly because of Sienna.
She had caught him off guard and stabbed him deep in the heart. The pain was unbearable. To distract himself from the hurt, Josiah had thrown himself into his work, as if powered by adrenaline. And the work ended ahead of schedule.
But he felt no better at all. Whispering her name in his mind, Josiah felt numb from his heart to his tongue.
The doorbell rang while Romilly hung clothes on the balcony, “Coming!”
Rushing to the door, Romilly expected it to be Josiah. When she a opened it, she saw Miranda. Miranda glanced behind her, Zaid followed closely, carrying bags in both hands.
Miranda asked as she entered. “Where’s Sienna?”
Looking around and not seeing Sienna, she chuckled. “Is Sienna still asleep? Pregnant women enjoyi
y their sleep. Let her rest,”
Then she asked Romilly, “Is she still only drinking soup! I’ve r just that, he smiled as he headed to the kitchen.
“Miranda. Romilly stammered, unsure of what to do.

working for the television station and working in the afternoons these days!”
Miranda was surprised. “How is that possible! Isn’t Sienna work
*Well…” Komilly replied honestly, “Sienna hasn’t been here for several days.”
A frown creased Miranda’s brow as she sensed something was off. “What do you mean!”
Romilly shook her head. “I don’t know I got a message from Mr. Flynn saying that I no longer need to live in, I can go back to working by the hour like before…
Is that so! Miranda felt a warning in her gut that
at something was wrong. Not able to get more information from Romilly, she turned to leave.
As Miranda walked outside, she pulled out her phone to call Sienna. Just then, Josiah’s car arrived. “Just in timer Miranda put her phone away and waited for the car to stop.
The car came to a
to a halt, and Josiah got out “Grandma What brings you here?”
Miranda scoffed. If I hadn’t come, I’d still be in the dark about the troubles!”
Josiah’s brow twitched as

“Yes!” Miranda squinted, studying her grandson. Tell me! What happened between you and Siennal

Josiah furrowed his brow and stayed silent, his expression heavy. Miranda grew anxious. “Did you two argue! Did you upset Sienna? She’s pregnant; you should just spoil her!”
Josiah forced a smile, silently thinking that he would love to, but she never gave him the chance.
“Why won’t you say anything” Miranda was frantic, but Josiah remained quiet. “You won’t talk? Fine, I’ll go find Sienna!”
“Grandma” Josah grabbed her arm. “Don’t go!” –
Then say something?”
“Grandma..” Josiah feh completely helpless. He realized he couldn’t hide this from her, he just hadn’t expected her to arrive so soon.
Closing his eyes for a brief moment, he finally said, “Siema and L. we broke up”
Miranda asked in disbelief. “What do you mean? Sienna is pregnant… how could you break up?”
“The child…” At the mention of the child, a bitter feeling surged within Josiah, spreading its pain to his lips.
“What about the child?”
Josiah looked away, unable to meet
neet Miranda’s eyes. “The c child is gone…”
“What?” Miranda’s eyes widened in shock. “What do y
you mean the child is gone? Huh?”
Josiah was at a loss for words. He couldn’t tell his grandma that Sienna had been unhappy with him and had an abortion.
“Speak!” Miranda was about to lose her cool. This was no small manter for the Flynn family.
“It couldn’t be saved: Cornered, Josiah collected himself. “In the first three months of pregnancy, things are unstable, anything can happen…
Miranda, as a woman, knew this too well. But she found it hard to accept. “The child is gone?” Feeling faint, Miranda sensed darkness creeping in around her, her body swaying.
“Grandma!” Josiah gasped, quickly supporting her, “Grandma, are you okay?”
“Mr. Flynn, take her pills!” Zaid hurriedly got first aid medication from the car, pouring out two pills to give to Miranda.
Josiah lifted her into his arms. “Let’s get to the hospital!”
Upon receiving the news, Sienna rushed to the hospital. Miranda, with clouded eyes, held Sienna’s hand, “Sienna, you have suffered.” “Grandma“” Sienna was battled.
“I know everything” Miranda looked at her belly. “It’s Josiah’s fault for not taking care of you an
you and for not being able to protect the child.”
Sienna was taken aback. On the way there, she had thought Miranda must have found out the child was gone. She wondered how Josiah had explained things to Miranda to make her jump to that conclusion
Outside the ward, Josiah held his phone, calling Howard. “Nothing serious, just an emotional outburst explain later. Alright… After hanging up, he turned to enter the ward. Just then, Sienna came out, and they collided.
Josiah instinctively reached out to steady her. Their eyes met for a moment before they each hurriedly looked away. “Thank you. Sienna pulled back her arm, slightly embarrassed as she brushed back her hair. “Grandma is fine, so I’ll be leaving now”
Josiah nodded. He wanted to drive her home, but he knew she wouldn’t agree to it. Sienna thought about how he had defended her in front of Miranda
Several times she had hesitated to speak but ultimately
by said nothing. As she turned to leave, Josiah
gaze lingered on her hair.
