Chapter 317 

With the holidays around the corner, Sienna and Tara were busy preparing for Christmas Day

As arranged with Rosie carlier, Sienna headed to the nursing home two days in advance to pick her up

Since Sienna wasn’t a direct relative, it actually took some time to complete the paperwork

Finally done!” 

After returning. Sienna helped Rosie pack her things hope I didn’t forget anything. If I did you can borrow mine.” 

Okay,” Rosie replied with a smile, nodding

Cu 

Hey,” Sienna suddenly exclaimed, looking bewildered. Why do you have so many Christmas goodies here!” 

Is it a lotRosie’s eyes were a bit unclear. Jane said they came from the nursing home.” 

The nursing home really thought this through.” 

Sienna casually flipped through the items, feeling a strange familiarityThese items were just like the ones Josiah had sent her a few days ago

The stuff from the nursing home was surprisingly nice

Sienna frowned, sensing an indescribable feeling bubbling up inside her

SiennaRosie had finished getting ready. Can we go now!” 

Sure!” 

snapped back to reality and went over to help Rosie up. Let’s go home.” 

Sunshine Neighborhood was pretty safe. Daniel had no idea she was there, so they could enjoy the holiday without worry

The day before Christmas Day, bright and early, Joyce woke up. Sienna dressed her in a red sweatshirt, tying her hair into two little buns on the sides, and even added a touch of red lipstick on her forehead

All done!* 

Joyce dashed to the mirror and couldn’t stop admiring herself. Wow, I look fabulous!” 

Ha!Sienna couldn’t hold back her laughter

Haha,Rosie chimed in, also grinning. Joyce is so adorable!” 

Joyce turned around and corrected her, Rosie, it’s fabulous, fabulous

Right, rightRosie laughed, switching her wording. I misspoke. It’s fabulous!” 

Sienna ruffled Joyce’s buns. Be a good girl and play with me, okay? I can’t see very well, so you have to take care of me, alright?” 

Yeah, I know” 

Joyce nodded seriously and then asked, Mom, when is Josiah coming over!” 

The little one hadn’t forgotten Josial’s promise

Upon hearing Joyce’s question, Sienna paused. Ever since that night, she hadn’t heard anything from Josiah 

He probably wasn’t back in Jelacrity yet. She wasn’t sure if he’d be able to come tonight

Mommy, mommy Joyce tugged at her mother’s shirt. Hurry and tell me!” 

Joyce, sweetie.” 

Tara jumped in, smiling to help Sienna out of the tight spot

Chapter 317 

It’s your secret pact with Josiah. Your mom doesn’t know either. Besides, look at the time! He said he’d come over to keep you company for Christmas Eve It’s still bright out, we’re not in a rush” 

Do we have to wait until it’s dark?Joyce pouted, peering out at the glaring afternoon sun. Oh, fine! I’ll just go hang out with Auntie” 

All day long had been busy and bustling. The Christmas eve dinner was prepared by Sienna and Tara together. Although there weren’t many people, they still set up a huge table. To avoid waste, they made sure each dish was in modest portions

Rosie.Joyce sat on the steps, passing a dish to Rosie. You should eat this” 

Thanks, Joyce Rosie smiled gently. You’re such a little angel!” 

Yep!Joyce replied, munching on her food while keeping an eye on the window. Mom, it’s getting dark” 

Keep eating, sweetheart Tara said, pulling out a napkin to wipe Joyce’s mouth. Josiah is having dinner with his family right now too.” 

Oh, right.Joyce replied

As the evening approached, winter days grew shorter. Once the sun dipped below the horizon, it was suddenly patch black outside

Sienna flipped on the TV. The four of themthree adults and one childsat on the couch, watching TV and snacking

Mommy, has Josiah and his family finished dinner yet?Joyce nestled in Sienna’s arms, already feeling a bit sleepy

Not yet Sienna replied, glancing outside to avoid Joyce’s disappointment

She continued. Josiah is still having drinks and taking his time with the food” 

Oh Joyce’s eyelids began to drop further So, Josiah will come, right?” 

Are you sleepy. Joyce 

Sienna asked, not wanting 

to dismiss her concern outright. Why don’t you take a little nap! I’ll wake you 

when Josiah gets here.” 

OkayJoyce murmured, unable to keep her eyes open anymore. She burrowed deeper into her mother’s embrace. Mommy, remember to call me when Josish arrives.” 

OkSienna replied

Slowly, Joyce drified into a deep sleep. Sienna gently picked her daughter up and carried her to the bedroom, tucking her under the covers

It was already past eight, and Sienna felt a slight pulse of uncase at her temple. If Josiah had returned to Jeiacrity, he definitely would have contacted her by now

OPM, at Jeiacrity International Airport, in the VIP exit, Josiah hurriedly stepped out with Yvette, followed closely by Chester and James

He held his phone to his ear, speaking with Zach. I’m in the garage. Okay, we’re heading straight over 

He glanced at Yvette, who looked worn out. We’re heading to the garage

Yvette nodded, appearing more tired than usual Okay” 

Once at the garage, they met up with Zach, Josiah looked at his watch. How many cars are ready?” 

Two” 

Alright,” Josiah confirmed, then instructed Zach, take Yvette to the Flynn family home. Grandma and Howard are waiting for her 

“Yes, Mr. Flynn,Zach replied

Josiah, Yvette interjected, puzzled. Aren’t you coming with me?” 

Josiah shook his head. I have something to take care of.”

What is it…” 

Wette,” he internipted, urgency in his voice, Tm in a hurry and really need to leave 

He led Chester and James to another vehicle

As the car pulled away, Yvette stood still, perplexed. On an occasion like this, how could anything be more important than reuniting with family

Meanwhile, in the car, Chester, who was driving, suddenly changed demeanor. Mr. Flynn, something feels off with the car

What do you mean!Josiah straightened up, alarmed

It’s the brakes!Chester frowned, panic creeping into his voice. They’re not working!” 

James added, Someone tampered with the car.” 

It’s not just the brakes; the steering wheel is messed up too 

The car sped forward uncontrollably, heading straight toward a concrete pillar in the lot 

If they hit that, it would be a disastertotal wreck, no survivors

What do we do now!” 

Jump, Mr. Flynn! It’s the only way!” 

barking 

The car’s speed was still climbing, and although jumping was dangerous, it was their only option

Okay.Josiah nodded

The three exchanged quick glances, all thinking the same thing. They grabbed the doors, yanked them open, and leaped out simultaneously

Behind them. Yvette and Zach followed closely, slamming on the brakes

What’s going on?Yvette shouted as she bolted from the car, Josiah!” 

Stay back!Josiah shouted just as he heard the sickening sound of metal colliding with concrete. The car slammed into the pillar

Josiah had just landed when the force of the jump sent him sprawling to the ground. Further aggravated by the impact, the jolt caused him to tumble violently, almost knocking him out

Josiah!Yvette’s eyes filled with tears, a mix of fear and anger surfacing as she wanted to rush to him

Ms. Young!Zach quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her. It’s too dangerous. Mr. Flynn wouldn’t want you risking yourself for him!” 

As Josiah hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head. Everything blurred, the world around him fading into darkness

Instinctively, he raised a hand to cradle his head, feeling something warm and sticky. The metallic scent of blood filled his sensesIt was his own
