Chapter 199
“Much better.” Yvette leaned against the headboard, her face pale, showing a weak smile
“That’s good. Howard will be here soon, have some water first” Josiah picked up the cup from the bedside table and held it to her lips, as it had a straw, so Yvette didn’t even need to lift her hand, just open her mouths.
With the sound of a knock. Sienna raised her hand and gently tapped the door twice. “Sorry to disturb you” Josiah remained seated without a word,
“Sienna Yvette’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a smile forming as she waved. “You’re here… She glanced at Josiah, signaling to him, “Make room for
Josiah raised an eyebrow, stood up, stepped aside, and put his hands in his pockets without a word.
“No, thanks.” Sienna didn’t look at him, only at Yvette. “There’s something I want to discuss with you alone Suggesting Josiah should leave.
“Oh, okay” Yvette fel a jolt. She had a hunch about what Sienna wanted to say “Josiah, could you please step out for a moment?”
“Tm afraid I can’t.” Josiah replied reluctantly. “I promised Howard 1 wouldn’t leave your side until he gets here”
Sienna thought, she worried I’m gonna harm Yvette! She gave a silent, cold laugh and suddenly looked at him: “Don’t worry, Mr. Flynn, the room is monitored. If I lay a finger on her, feel free to call the police on me.
Josiah froze and thought, “Am I planning to report her to the cops! If it wasn’t for me, would she have gotten out of the police station so quickly? Why is Sienna so stupid! She lus good looks, not intelligence.
But he wouldn’t explain, especially not in front of outsiders Josiah was furious, speaking harshly without thinking “Wait until you’ve hurt her to call the police! The law can deal with you. But the pain she’d go through, you can’t take that for her!”
Sienna was at a loss for words. Her expression froze slightly. She thought, Is he not concealing it anymore? Showing his care for Yvette so openly Ti makes sense that when someone you love is hurt, even Mr. Flynn, with all his self–control, couldn’t help but show his true emotions Sienna couldn’t convince him, so she just went to see Yvette. She hinted, “What should we do now?”
Yvette put on a peacemaker’s face. “Hold on, Josiah, don’t act like that. I’ll be okay. Sienna and I are just going to chat. Could you step out for a minute, please?”
Josiah furrowed his brow. He thought, “What can they say? I can guess that Sienna is here on behalf of Rosie. But she asked the wrong person; she should be talking to me. I’m not in a hurry. I’ll wait for her
“Alright, I’m heading out” Josiah glanced at his watch. Howard should be arriving soon, so he’d go meet him.
Before leaving he instructed Zach, “Keep an eye on things. If there’s any commotion inside, rush in straight away”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Flynn, Zach replied
The hospital room quieted down. Sienna thought, “The words of a loved one make a difference, All my speaking can’t compare to a single sentence
Sienna looked at Yvette, clearly there on important laisiness, “You know what I’m liere to talk about, right?” Yvette gulped without realizing it. Sienna continued, “You know exactly li
low you fell. Genting hurt was just an accident. You started this trouble.”
What do you want?” The more Yvette listened, the more uneasy she felt. The pain had been so intense at the time. She never expected Janet would report them to the police.
“Iru simple” Sienna said, her gaze serious and determined. “There’s a video on Rosie’s phone showing you tripping me. I want you to drop the charges. I want toss to come out of this unharmed.”
“Mright” Vente nodded almost immediately. She thought, If that video gets online, my reputation will be ruined?
In the internet–driven work, celelaities couldn’t afford any scandals. Even with the Flynn family lacking Yvette, if her public image collapsed, she would be blacklisted. That would be a devastating blow for her.
“But Yvene silently clenched her fist, her palm sweaty. “You have to give me her p phone, I want it destroyed!”
Sienna nodded. “Alright, it’s a deal. Rosie’s phone was taken by the police. When she gets out, I’ll make sure to hand it to you.

“Okay.” Yvette nodded. She wasn’t worried about Sienna breaking her promise. If she didn’t get the phone, she could always change her mind. They were both holding the upper hand over each other.
At this moment, Howard was already there, but he hadn’t let Josiah know earlier. After he arrived, he didn’t go to the ward first; he went to the doctor’s
‘s office to ask about Yvette’s condition.
“It looked quite serious when she was brought in, all bloodied and battered, but it’s mostly skin wounds. The bones are okay, just a minor fracture, no surgery needed, the doctor replied.
Howard breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, the doctor added, “However, Mr. Flynn, the reason she passed out from the pain is partly due to her physical condition. Ever since the miscarriage, she hasn’t recovered completely
The doctor, aware of the Flynn family’s status in Jeiacrity, was a bit more attentive. “Mr. Flynn, if you plan to have children in the future, she’ll need proper care to recover.
Howard’s brow twitched, his handsome, refined face showing no signs of emotion. He nodded slightly. “Thanks for the heads–up.”
“You’re welcome, take care, Mr. Flynn, the doctor replied.
“Hmm.” Howard turned his wheelchair and calmly left the doctor’s office. Inside, he was overwhelmed with shock. He thought, Yvette had miscarried? His expression darkened a deep shadow gathering on his brow, growing more intense.
“Howard!” Josiah hurried over to him. “You’re here? I went to the entrance but didn’t find you”
“Just checking with the doctor about Yvette’s situation, Howard said.
“Don’t worry, Yvette’s condition isn’t too serious. I’ll push you to see her, Josiah replied.
“Okay” By the time they got to the hospital room. Sienna was already gone
“Howard.” As soon as Yvette saw Howard, her eyes filled with tears.
Howard lifted his arm and held Yvette’s hand. “Yvette, you’ve been through a lot, but don’t worry, I’ve already instructed Josiah. The person who hurt you won’t get away with it.”
“Yes, Howard Josiah nodded.
“Let me see, where are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot?” Howard asked.
“I feel so sore,” Yvette said.
Watching them, Josiah quietly left the room, gently closing the door. He picked up his phone and checked it. Josiah thought, Sienna hit a wall with Yvette and had to find me. Or maybe she’s embarrassed! No matter, for Rosie’s sake, she’ll come eventually
Early the next morning. Zach came to Silver Beach to pick up Josiah and gave him some news, “Mr. Flynn, we’ve got word from the police station that Ms. Young has withdrawn her complaint, and Rosie has been released!”
