Chapter 279
Josiah had a seary incident. Half an hour ago, while he was coming down from his office to the underground parking garage, someone suddenly charged at him, swinging a machete without a word.
Thankfully, his injuries weren’t serious. On her way to the hospital, Sienna held her hands together, her lips pressed tight, looking calm. But inside, her mind was racing–maybe her chance had finally come.
When she arrived at the hospital, Yvette showed up, and both women hurried into the emergency room together. This way.” James guided them.
Sienna saw Josiah. The curtains around the bed were drawn back to show Josiah he looked mostly fine, with his left arm raised and his forearm wrapped in a bandage. Just as James had said, his injuries were minor.
Josiah
“Josiah!”
Both women called out at the same time, and Josiah turned to look at them.
As Yvette stepped closer, Sienna grabbed her arm tightly and gave a small smile. “He is my boyfriend, so please step
She let go of Yvene, who looked completely confused, and dashed towards him.
“Don’t run!” Josiah warned, frowning. Pregnant women shouldn’t exert themselves like that.
But Sienna ignored his warning, jogging up to him and jumping into his arms, wrapping him in a tight hug. Josiah was taken aback, stumbling slightly in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
Sienna, startled, lifted her lovely face–her brow furrowed, her eyes red. “Did I hurt you?”
“No, no…” Josiah stammered, caught off guard by h
by her sudden affection, feeling a lump in his throat with emotion
They had been arguing that very morning he thought they wouldn’t be okay for a while. Yet here she was, in his arms. Her worry for him was clear -she didn’t seem indifferent at all.
When he saw her making an effort to care for him, he took the chance to make things right. “I’m fine, he assured her, wrapping an arm around her waist and raising his bandaged arm. “It’s just the arm.
“Just the arm?” Sienna looked doubtful, peering at him closely. “Let me
ie see!”
Josiah held out his arms wide as she turned him around, giving an amused sigh. “I promise, it’s nothing serious…”
He had two bodyguards, Chester and James, and during the attack, Chester had been there to protect him. Chester had also gotten some minor injuries and was dealing with his own wounds in a nearby room.

Josiah shot James an annoyed look. “What did I tell you! Haven’t you explained to Sienna?”
if you scared her? She is pregnant.”
“I… James protested, feeling wrongfully accused. “I told her that your injuries weren’t severe.”
“Well, that’s good… Sienna sighed in relief but suddenly put a hand on her stomach.
“Sienna!” Josiah exclaimed, rushing to support her, his eyes full of concern. “What’s wrong! Are you not feeling well?”
Sienna shook her head, feeling a bit shy. “I think I’m a little hungry”
“Hmmm!” Josiah paused, confused, and then chuckled lightly. “A little? He teased, pinching her nose. “Let’s head back; Romilly should have the food ready by now.” Since it was mealtime, her hunger made sense.
“No, no Sienna pointed at the hospital convenience store. “I want to cat com chowder! They sell it there.”
Josiah frowned, concerned. “That’s not

“Alright then.” Josiah |

He would never let Sienna feel unhappy. Taking her hand, he walked toward the convenience store, warning, “Don’t overeal”

“Okay? Sienna turned to find Yvette in front of them
“Yvette,” Jouish said, surprised. “You’re here lood““||
“Yep” Yvette managed a tight sundle. She thought, Did Josiah just notier me? Is Sienna the only one on his mind now?
Suddenly, Sienna let go of his hand, making Josiah frown, thinking she was upset again. “Siemmat”
I’ll leave you two for a moment,” she grinned. “James, come with me”
“You’re not mad” Josiah reached out to touch her face, seeking reassurance
“Not at all. Sienna shot him an annoyed look, tossing her hair over her shoulder as she turned gracefully James, keep upt
“Coming, Mc Shaw
Yvette scoffed. “Is she here to see you or just to eat?”
Josiah frowned his face darkening
“Josiah” Yvette scrutinized him, mocking. “I don’t really understand, are you thinking of continuing with her?”
“Yvette” Josiah said, turning to face her, his gaze steady.
Hmmm Wette was feeling uneasy.
Josiah controlled his frustration. “Please don’t speak bailly about Siena, she’s pregnant and shoulda go hungry”
“What?” Yvette looked shocked, her mouth hanging open. “But her baby isn’t…

“Take it slow.” Josiah advised, looking at her and smiling slightly. “Is it good!”
Sienna choked. “Yes, very tasty
“Is it?” Josiah looked at the corn chowder. Let me have a taste.
“Hey!” Sienna’s eyes widened in surprise. “Just a bite! You almost ate it all
“Aren’t you the one who said two cans! Is this two?” Josiah kept a serious face, counting. One, two, three, four, five Sienna, did your math teacher teach you anything!”
Sienna rolled her eyes and said, “I know you

Josiah sighed and said, “I wonder if our child will inherit your math skills or mine.”

“Sorry!” Josiah reached out to steady her, realizing she might fall. “Just this one. No more!
