Chapter 282
Howard was calm as he quietly went away to answer his phone. “What’s going on?” he asked.
Rosie was blind, but she could still move freely. There was a guard and a maid watching her, but they didn’t do their job well.
Hervey said, “The guard was in the bathroom, and the maid was checking the receipt with the delivered food, so Rosie was able to escape from the kitchen.”
It seemed like she had planned this. Maybe the guard and the maid didn’t watch her closely because they thought she was blind and couldn’t
escape.
“I’ll be right there,” Howard said, then hung up and got ready to leave.
Miranda asked, looking worried. “Where are you going?”
Howard forced a smile. “I have something to take care of. Bobby and Sienna will keep you company, Grandma,” he said, trying to reassure her.
Meanwhile, Sienna caught Josiah’s eye and hinted at her plate. Her plate was full of food, which she couldn’t finish. Josiah quietly took some food from Sienna’s plate to his own.
“You little brat!” Miranda was annoyed. She slapped Josiah on the back of his head. “Can’t you eat your own food? Why take from Sienna?”
“Grandma…” Josiah looked at Miranda with innocent eyes. “Sienna can’t eat much lately, and the food you gave her is too rich. She likes soup better.”
Miranda gently touched Sienna’s hair. “Is that true?” She called out to the maid, “Make some soup! Make sure it’s not too greasy!”
Miranda gave the rest of Sienna’s food to Josiah. “It’s all yours now,” she said. Josiah and Sienna looked at each other helplessly.
It was getting late, and they knew they had to go back to their rooms. But since Sienna was pregnant, Josiah had stayed in her room.
As Josiah got ready for bed, he said, “If you need to get food in the middle of the night, I’ll help you.” He patted the bed. “Get in.”
Sienna nodded. “Okay,” she said, lost in thought. Since she found out she was pregnant, Josiah had been more considerate of her feelings.
As she closed her eyes, she thought about what could have been if they hadn’t shared those four years. But the past was an undeniable fact, something that couldn’t be erased or forgotten.
Just as Josiah was about to turn off the lights, Sienna’s phone rang. “Who could it be?” she wondered, picking up the phone. “Hello?”
“Sienna, it’s me, Rosie!” a familiar voice said.
“Rosie?” Sienna’s eyes widened in surprise. “Where are you? Are you okay?”
“I’m sorry to bother you, but I don’t know, who else to call. Can you please come and get me?”
“Okay, I’ll be right there!”
Rosie’s call came from the police station. When they arrived, Rosie was sitting quietly in a corner, looking a bit messy. Her hair was unkempt, and she had cuts and scratches on her face,
“Rosie!” Sienna ran over and took her hand. “I’m here.”
“Sienna?” Rosie threw herself into her arms, crying like a child. “I’m blind! They took away the bandage, and now I can see nothing! Sienna, I’m blind!” she sobbed.
Sienna’s eyes welled up with tears as she held Rosie tightly, trying to comfort her. She knew she couldn’t say anything to make Rosie feel better, so she just held her.
“Rosie, get up, we’re leaving.” Sienna held back the bitterness in her eyes, supporting her as they walked out. When they reached the door, Sienna reminded Rosie, “Slow down, there’s a step… step with your right foot, down, yes, now the left foot…”
As they left the police station and got in the car, Josiah asked Sienna, “Where are we going?”
“City Pearl,” Rosie said. “Thank you, Mr. Flynn.”

You’re welcome.”
The car drove to City Pearl Josiah supported them inside the apartment. With one person pregnant and the other blind, Josiah couldn’t leave them alone. The apartment was a bit old, but it had heat.
Sienna went to turn on the hot water, find clean clothes for Rosie, and help her wash up. Josiah sat on the sofa, watching her as she returned. “Do you need help?” he asked.
“No. I’m fine. Sienna said, shaking her head. “Rosie needs someone to take care of her, and I want to stay with her. You’d better go home.”
Josiah knew he couldn’t change Sienna’s mind. “Okay, I’ll leave. Just call me later?”
Sienna nodded. “Alright, go home now, it’s late.”
Josiah stood up, hugging Sienna tightly. “Don’t tire yourself out.”
As Josiah left the apartment, he saw Howard’s car waiting outside. That was because Josiah had told Howard about Rosie’s call.
Josiah got in Howard’s car. Howard asked, “Is she okay?”
“She’s a bit shaken up, and her emotions are unstable.”
Howard let out a barely audible sigh. He didn’t want to scare her, he just couldn’t think of a better solution. “What do we do next? Sienna is staying with her, and things are getting tough now.” Josiah asked.
Howard thought for a moment. “We’ll contact her doctor and come up with a plan.”
Back in the apartment, Rosie felt better after her hot bath. Sienna was helping her put antibiotic cream on her cuts, asking, “What happened to you? Where have you been?
Rosie sighed, tears in her eyes. “I… I was held captive.”
“What?” Sienna’s eyes widened in shock. “Who did that? And why?”
“It’s not something you’d believe. They took care of me pretty well. They even had a doctor visit me every day.”
Sienna listened, feeling like she’d been through this before. Just a few days ago, Josiah had treated her in the same way. Suddenly, a bold thought popped into her head.
*Sienna, are you listening?”
“Yeah. Sienna asked, “Maybe your captor is in love with you.”
Rosie was shocked, her eyes wide with surprise. “What are you talking about? Who could fall for someone like me? I have a bad reputation.”
“Let’s talk about this later. Sienna helped Rosie lie down. “Just go to sleep for now.”
“Okay.”
Just then, Sienna’s phone buzzed with a message from Hannah. [I’ve arranged for you to meet Dorian, my cousin. He will help you.] Below was a QR code to add Dorian as a contact.
