Chapter 283
Early the next morning, Sienna had just woken up when the doorbell rang. It was Josiah. “So early?” Sienna opened the door for him.
Josiah had brought a home helper with him. “I called her over to prepare some meals and do the laundry for you.”
Rosie, who couldn’t see, required Sienna’s constant care. However, Josiah didn’t want Sienna to take on that kind of responsibility; she had never done it for the Flynn family, and she shouldn’t have to do it for Rosie.
Sienna said, “Thank you, Josiah.”
Josiah frowned in displeasure. “Don’t thank me. It’s so inappropriate.” Then he smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Come on, give me a
kiss.”
Sienna didn’t have time to react. Her breath quickened, and she felt anxious, struggling against him. “Don’t…”
“What are you afraid of?” Thinking she was just shy, Josiah said, “The home helper is working, and Rosie can’t see.
“Well, you could show some restraint…” Sienna frowned. “The doctor said to be especially careful during the first three months.”
“Oh.” Josiah lowered his head and placed his palm on her belly, speaking to the child inside. “Alright, you are the most precious right now.”
He added, “A kiss shouldn’t be a problem, right? Just one more…”
“Sienna?” Rosie had woken up.
“Rosie!” Sienna seized the opportunity to push Josiah away. “I’m here; please be careful and don’t move around too much.” She turned and walked inside.
Josiah hadn’t gotten enough kisses yet. After a moment, Sienna helped Rosie out, and was surprised to see that Josiah hadn’t left yet.
Sienna asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Yes,” Josiah replied with a smile. “Rosie, this concerns you.”
“Me?” Rosie asked in confusion, sitting down with Sienna’s help. “Mr. Flynn, what is it?”
“You still need to continue treating your eyes, right?”
Rosie replied slowly, “I suppose so.” She certainly didn’t want to be blind forever, but she didn’t know where to seek treatment, who to consult, or even if it could be cured.
She had only just regained her freedom and hadn’t had the chance to think about it yet.
Sienna knew Josiah’s intentions. “Do you know any doctors?” With the Flynn family’s connections, they likely knew some good ones.
Josiah winked at her. “If Rosie says yes, I can get in touch.”
Rosie bit her lip and said, “I don’t want to trouble you.”
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Josiah smiled at Sienna. “You’re Sienna’s friend, and you’ve helped her a lot–getting a doctor for you is no trouble at all.”
“Sienna…” Rosie knew that Josiah’s help was all because of Sienna and didn’t know how to respond. Sienna also felt a mix of emotions; she hadn’t expected Josiah to do this for her.
The thought of leaving Jeiacrity made her chest tighten with unease, but she couldn’t neglect Rosie. Taking a deep breath, she smiled at Josiah. “Josiah, please make the arrangements.”
Josiah gently touched Sienna’s cheek in a familiar manner. “Then it’s settled for tomorrow morning. By the way, I may not be available, so I’ll have Howard come instead.”
“Howard?” Rosie was surprised, as was Sienna.
“What’s with the surprise?” Josiah chuckled. “Only Howard can get that renowned doctor, and besides, he’s not busy.”

Sienna nodded. “Settled.”
After sending Josiah off, Sienna took Rosic out. She had a meeting with Hannah’s cousin. Since Rosie needed help, Sienna decided to bring her along.
When they arrived, Sienna found a seat, saying, “Rosie, I’m sorry for dragging you around with me.”
“No, I should apologize.” Rosie blinked. “You’re busy, yet you still need to take care of me.”
“That’s what friends are for,” Sienna said, and they shared a smile.
“Excuse me, is this Sienna?”
Sienna stood up. A young man in his thirties, neatly dressed in a suit, stood before her, his features vaguely resembling Hannah’s.
“Hello, Dorian.” Sienna greeted him with a smile, extending her hand. “I’m Sienna.” She glanced behind him, curious why he had come alone without an assistant.
“Don’t look for anyone else,” Dorian said with a smile. “I’m here to handle your matters.”
“Is that appropriate?” Sienna felt a bit flustered.
Although she had never met Dorian, Hannah had told her he was a respected lawyer in Jeiacrity, similar to Gilbert in reputation, and he ran his own law firm, dealing with significant cases.
Dorian smiled as he took a seat. “You’re Hannah’s friend, and helping you won’t take much effort.”
His reassurance eased Sienna’s unease. Smiling in gratitude, she said, “Thank you, Dorian.”
“Please, sit. Dorian gestured with his hand. “Have you brought the relevant documents?”
“Yes, I have.” Sienna nodded, opening her bag and pulling out a stuffed folder. “It’s all right here…
“Good, let me take a look…” Dorian reviewed each document carefully, collecting what was necessary and placing it in his own folder. “I’ll keep these. When I need you, I’ll give you a call.”
“Thanks, Dorian.”
Dorian chuckled. “I’ll still collect my legal fees, but I’ll give you the friend’s rate.”
“Dorian, do you have time for lunch? I’d like to treat you to express my gratitude.”
“Sorry.” Dorian declined with a smile. “I don’t have the time; maybe another day.” He fastened his briefcase. “I’ll call you. I must go now.”
“Take care.”
“Sienna…” Once he left, Rosie grabbed Sienna’s arm. She hadn’t spoken earlier but sensed a lot. “Are you leaving Jeiacrity?”
“Yes,” Sienna replied, trusting Rosie and being honest with her. “Once everything is settled, I will leave.”
“And what about Mr. Flynn?” Rosie asked, “Aren’t things going well between you two?”
Sienna chuckled softly as she helped Rosie to her feet. “I’ll tell you on the way.”
As they talked, they headed back to City Pearl. Upon hearing Sienna’s words, Rosie tightly clasped her hand and finally said, “Sienna, just follow your heart.”
“Uh–huh.”
“You’re back?” Daniel stood at the apartment door, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, eyeing Rosie mockingly. “I thought you were dead.”
