Before long, a response came in. Josiah, we couldn’t reach Howard!

Josiah hesitated for a moment, looking at those around him. Leaning in closer to Sienna’s ear, he whispered, “Sienna, I need to step outside to a call:
Sienna glanced at him, sensing something was w
was wrong, but she didn’t ask. “Alright, go ahead.”
Josiah left and dialed a number. The line was answered quickly. It was Yvene’s agent. “Josiah
Without wasting time, Josiah asked, “What’s going on!”
The agent replied nervously, “Yvette collapsed on set!”
Hearing this made Josiah’s brow furrow in anger. “Call an ambulance! Why are you calling me? Am I a doctor?”
“Don’t worry, Josiah, we’re already in the ambulance the agent said anxiously. “I thought it was important to inform both you and Howard”
Josiah rubbed his temples, trying to keep his anger in check. “How is Yvette now?”
“It’s still unclear. The doctor thinks it might be due to exhaustion….
Yvette had been so busy preparing for her wedding, and the stress was affecting her health.
“I get the point
The agent asked quietly, “Josiah, will you be coming?”
Josiah said. “I’ll contact Howard With that, he hung up and immediately called Howard’s number. But, just as the agent had said, Howard’s phone was unreachable
Josiah was confused–Howard hadn’t come back to work yet, and today wasn’t even his scheduled day. He should be home now.
Josiah called the Flynn residence. Linda answered, “Josiah?”
“Is Howard at home”
“No, he left this afternoon with Hervey. Is something wrong, Josiah?”
“No” After ending the call, Josiah frowned, feeling suspicious.
He thought, Howard went out with Hervey this afternoon! What were they doing for so long? I trust my brother, but there were just too many strange things happening since he woke up!
Josiah went back to the screening room. Sienna was

I seated, focused on the big screen, laughing with the audience as the movie played. “Sienna.” Josiah hesitated to break the happy moment but felt
“You’re back” Sienna replied without looking his way.
If he had to.
Josiah leaned in closer to her ear, speaking softly. “Yvette collapsed on set and is going to the hospital. I can’t reach Howard, so… I might need to go
over there”
Sienna stopped and turned to look at him. Josiah felt a rush of guilt, beads of sweat forming on his brow. “Sienna, I’m only going to “Understood,” Before he could finish. Sienna waved her hand dismissively. Then go she turned back to the screen to continue watching the
movie.
Her quick and casual response only made Josiah feel more uneasy. He grabbed her hand. “Are you upset Honestly, I didn’t plan to go, but Howard
is unreachable”
“Shh.” Sienna put a finger to her lips signaling him to be quiet “This is a public place, don’t speak so loudly or you’ll disturbs others. I told you to go, didn’t “To stop any more arguments, she added, “I’m not upset.”
Josiah studied her calm expression, trying to find any sign of discontent. Having learned from past experiences, his anxiety stayed. He held her hand. “If that’s the case, why don’t you come with me?”

“Why would I do that?” Sienna glared at him, pulling h movie. It’s really good.”
‘Sienna….
her hand away and shaking her head. “You can go and take care of her: I want to watch this
“Could you please be reasonable? Sienna was getting a bit annoyed. “You won’t stay to watch it with me, and now you’re not even letting me finish it on my own? Tactually really like this movie.
She turned her head, refusing to look at him again or continue the discussion. Josiah watched her for a few seconds before giving in. “Alright, you keep watching” He checked his watch. I’ll call Zaid and have him pick you up. Bye.”
Sienna didn’t even respond, just waved him away. Josiah frowned as he stood to leave the screening room.
At the door, he paused and sent Sienna a message: [Sienna, if I can make it in time, I’ll come to get you. If you decide to head home first, call me.]
After sending the message. he got no reply. Assuming she was caught up in the movie, he sighed softly, deciding to wait until she finished; she would see his message eventually.
Josiah left the cinema and rushed to the hospital. When he arrived, he found Yvette already settled in her room, awake but looking weak and pale. Josiah you’re here.”
Yvette leaned against the headboard. “I’ve made you hurry around again, but there’s really nothing wrong with me. I just skipped lunch while rushing through filming, and I’m feeling a bit weak from low blood sugar.”
She pointed to the IV drip. “Two bags of fluids will fix that.” Then she scolded her agent and assistant. “They’re always making a big fuss.”
“They’re just worried about you,” Josiah said, sitting beside her bed. “But I have to scold you a little. You’re already so busy getting ready for the wedding, why are you still working so hard?”
Yvette chuckled softly. “You talk as if it’s wrong for me to take my work seriously.” She glanced past him, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment. “Howard hasn’t come, has he!”
Even though Josiah had issues with Howard, he would never say anything negative about Howard. “I asked them not to tell Howard yet. I wanted to check on you first so he wouldn’t get too worried”
“Oh, I see.” Yvette accepted his explanation. “You’re very thoughtful; Howard’s recovery isn’t complete yet.”
True. Josiah nodded. Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket. I need to take this call”
“Go ahead”
Stepping outside, Josiah unlocked his phone, his expression darkening. “Howard, where are you?”
“I just got to the hospital; I’ll be there soon.
“Okay“Josiah hung up and made his way straight to the entrance of the patient ward. He then saw Howard and Hervey coming out of the elevator.
“Josiah” Howard nodded at his brother, his refined face looking a bit tired, “How’s Yvette? Is she okay?”
“Howard” Josiah met his brother’s gaze directly and turned the question back on him. “Linda said you left this afternoon. Can you tell me what you’ve been busy with lately?
