Chapter 274
Back at Silver Beach, the car stopped. Without waiting for Josiah, Sienna pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Josiah was taken aback for a moment and then snorted silently. He couldn’t understand where her sudden boldness was coming from
By the time he entered the living room. Sienna had already gone upstairs, Josiah followed a step behind and paused as he passed the master bedroom, but in the end, he didn’t go in and turned to his study instead.
Just as I sat down his phone rang. It was Yvelle.
“Hello” Josiah answered the call.
“Hey, Josiah” Yvette had just left the TV station and was calling him from her car. “I went to the archive room, everything okay with you and Siennal
Josiah stayed silent.

were already gone.
It seemed like something was wrong. After a pause, Yvette continued, “Can 1 ask you something! Do Sienna and Cedric meet up often!”
Do they y really see each other that much? Josiah mused. He didn’t respond, feeling a surge of anger.
“Josiah…” Yvene seemed worried about him and hesitated, “What I’m about to say might sound harsh, but I need to be honest for your sake.
“Are you sure this was just a one–time thing? What are the odds we just happened to walk in on them?”
Yvette sighed. I wamed you from the start that she wasn’t being sincere with you. I told you not to get too attached-
Before she could finish, Josiah interrupted her. “Yvette, it’s getting late. You should go home and get some rest. He then hung up.
“Josiah, Yvette muttered to herself as she clutched her phone, a smug smile forming on her lips.
“Have I lost to Sienna‘ Not necessarily. We’re both orphans with no family background to speak of, and I’ve come into the Flynn family before Sienna. If I couldn’t find happiness, why should Sienna! she thought.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Josiah held his phone, replaying his conversation with Yvene. ‘Does Sienna really see Cedric often! he wondered.
That didn’t make sense to him. Ever since Sienna and he started dating, they had been practically inseparable. But still, Sienna must have some
The seed of doubt had been planted, and Josiah pressed his hand against his forehead, trying to soothe the burgeoning headache.
A soft knock sounded at the study door.
It must be Sienna, Josiah thought with a satisfied smirk. She was finally coming to him. If she would just apologize properly and explain her relationship with Cedric, he would be the bigger person and forgive her.
“Come in Josiah called out, trying to keep his tone steady despite the excitement racing through him.
The study door swung open, and Josiah’s face fell. Instead of Sienna, it was the home helper who entered.
free
The home helper was here because of Sienna. She began, “Mr. Flynn, is Ms. Shaw hurt? Just now, she asked me for ice, saying she needed to apply it to her arm. I saw her arm, and it seemed swollen. Should we call a doctor?”
“Her arm is swollen?” Josiah thought and frowned. “Okay, I understand.”
Standing up, he added, “Il send you a bonus later, the same amount as last time.”
“Thank you, Mr. Flynn The home helper nodded her thanks, thinking to herself, Mr. Flynn really dotes on Ms. Shaw
Last time, when Sienna fainted, the home helper happened to be back and took her to the hospital. Josiah rewarded her with 3,000 dollars for it This time, she just said a few words and got another reward.
“Taking care of Ms. Shaw seems to be the most important thing in
in this house, she concluded inwardly,
Josiah got up and went to the master bedroom. The door was unlocked and opened with a twist.

Sienna was sitting in front of the vanity, applying an ice pack to her elbow. It was an awkward position to ice, requiring her to hold her arm up the
Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw Josiah enter
Josiah walked straight over and held her wrist, lifting her arm. Having learned from last time, he didn’t dare to use force this time, afraid of hurting
He saw that Sienna’s elbow was indeed swollen, a bump forming. And she still doesn’t want to see a doctor! he mused.
Josiah patiently said in a deep voice, “Get up. We’re going to the hospital” He wanted to force her, but he was afraid that she would resist and hurt herself even more.
Sienna was taken aback. “Didn’t I tell you I‘
| you I’m not going?”
“Not going?” Josiah’s face darkened, rage bubbling within him, “You think the ice pack is going to fix the swelling?”
“I don’t know” Sienna said honestly. “I’m just trying. Maybe it will help.
What kind of nonsense was that? Josiah was never a patient man, and after everything he had dealt with that day, he finally lost his temper. “Sienna, who are you being so stubborn for! Because I hit Cedric, you’re going to hurt yourself too?”
Sienna was stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.
“Or are you.” Josiah continued, hurtful words tumbling out without a thought. “Are you waiting for Cedric to come before you’re willing to go to the hospital
Sienna was speechless, caught off guard by his accusation.
“Humph,” Josiah scoffed, each word sharp and biting. “Forget that idea. You’re not going to get what you want. If you don’t want to then just stay in pain.”

With that, he turned and left, slamming the door shut with a bang-

Sienna chuckled softly, not bothering to respond to his words. She lifted the ice pack and continued to press it against h
But she knew she would have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Her elbow was so sore. She’d get a blood test first, check the results, and then consult a doctor about her arm.
Early the next morning, Josiah returned to the master bedroom to shower and get changed. As he walked to the closet, he vaguely heard a whimper from the bed. It was Sienna.
He immediately walked to the bedside and saw Sienna whimpering with her eyes squinted. Her arm was more swollen than last night. He realized he couldn’t let her avoid this any longer.
“Get up.” Josiah said as he lifted her up, avoiding her injured elbow, “Let’s go to the hospital”

“I’m not going” Sienna broke out in a cold sweat, but she was
She cupped his face anxiously and pleaded, “Don’t you have to go to the office! I can go by myself. I’m not working this morning anyway.”
Josiah narrowed his eyes, sensing something was off. Why doesn’t Sienna want me to go with her? Is there something she isn’t telling me? Does she have an appointment with Cedric?‘ he pondered.
This thought instantly made him burn with anger. “No hurry. I’ll take you to the hospital first”
Josiah remained calm and carried her all the way downstairs. “Wait here, I’ll go get the car. He then instructed the home helper, “Go get Ms. Shaw’s
“Okay, Mr. Flynn, replied the home helper.
However, as soon as Josiah let go, Sienna ran upstairs.
“Stop” Josiah chased after her anxiously. “Why are you running?”
Sienna was startled and twisted her ankle, about to fall. Josiah reached out in time to catch her. “Careful”
Sienna’s eyes widened, fear flooding her mind. Suddenly, her legs just gave out, and she collapsed.
“Siennal” Josiah exclaimed in shock. He picked her up and said urgently, “Go to the door and call my bodyguards to come help.
“Yes, Mr. Flynn, said the home helper.
At the hospital, Josiah asked nervously, “Doctor, how is my wife? She fainted. Is it because of the pain! Is she in shock!”
The doctor responded, “Mr. Flynn, your wife’s fainting has nothing to do with the injury on her arm. She fainted because she’s pregnant.”
