meal in the cafeteria.
“Josiah! You’re awaker Yvette stumbled to the bedside, clearly seeing Josiah with his eyes open. Tears welled up, and she choked, “That’s wonderful!”
“What happened to me?” Josiah frowned, rubbing his temples as his head ached slightly. The last thing he remembered was being at the Sunshine Neighborhood on New Year’s Eve, holding Joyce while watching fireworks with Sienna.
After that, he knew nothing. Looking around, he realized he was in a hospital, Josiah thought. How did I get here? Did Sienna bring me? She must have been scared at the time.
“Where’s Sienna” Josiah asked, propping himself up on his elbow,
“Take it easy” Yvette ignored his question and helped him sit up, placing a pillow behind him. “You know, I told you to go to the hospital that day, but you didn’t listen”
Suddenly, she threw herself into Josiah’s arms. “You have no idea how scared I was! You were in a coma for a whole week! The doctors said you might never wake up. I’ve been by your side day and night. I’m afraid to close my eyes.”
Choking up, Yvette began to cry: “I was so scared, afraid you would end up like Howard years ago, in a coma for several years! Thank goodness, you’re awake! You’re okay!”
Josiah looked down at her, trying to lift his hand onto her shoulder to gently push her away, but he was still too weak just after waking up. Yvette, don’t cry. I’m alright now, aren’t 11”
“Okay.” Yvette replied.
At the doorway, Sienna and the nurse rushed over, thinking Yvette might need help after hearing a noise.
To their surprise, when they arrived, they discovered that Josiah was awake. He and Yvette were hugging each other tightly, both in tears.
The nurse glanced at Sienna. “Ms. Shaw, this…
Sienna remained calm as she was used to these kinds of situations. She lightly instructed the nurse, “Please, inform the doctor.
“Alright,” the nurse agreed and left immediately.
Sienna stood there, coolly watching Josiah and Yvette inside. Her eyelids twitched slightly before she suddenly turned away. Josiah was awake now, so she wasn’t needed anymore.
As she turned Josiah glanced up and noticed her profile, which stayed in his mind. “Siennal” With a burst of energy, Josiah pushed Yvette aside and tossed off the blankets to get out of bed.
Yvette grabbed him. “You just woke up, where are yo

“Sienna, I saw Sienna!” Josiah frowned and shot Yvette a disapproving look. “Why didn’t you tell me Sienna was here too?”

“But she eventually came, didn’t she?” Josiah chuckled bitterly. “That’s enough for me. He swung his legs over the bed and slipped on his slippers to leave. Yet, an IV was still in his arm; he lifted his hand and pulled it out.
Yvette stared at him in shock. “Josiah!” continur the treatment.”

Chapter 328
Josiah was wearing just a hospital gown, without even a coat.
Josiah chased after, reaching the elevator just as the doors opened. Sienna stepped in with a group of people, “Sienna!” Josiah saw her silhouette and urgently shouted, “Sienna!”
Hearing him, Sienna suddenly turned her head. But the elevator was too
crowded, completely blocking her view
“Wait!” Josiah arrived just as the elevator doors closed in front of him, Josiah hit the door hard, angrily clenching his jaw, and turned to run towards the fire escape.
When Josiah got to the first floor, his heart was racing, and was out of breath. But he didn’t dare stop, bursting out of the lobby and finally catching up to Sienna on the lawn in front of the outpatient building.
“Sienna” As soon as Sienna turned around, Josiah was already in front of her, sweeping her into a hug
Josiah hugged her so tightly and with such momentum that Sienna stumbled backward, almost falling “Josiah!” she exclaimed in surprise.
Josiah looked at her with a grin. “Finally caught up to you! You need some stamina to even have the right to chase you?”
Sienna thought. He’s still in the mood to joke around? Sienna glared at him, noticing his thin hospital gown, and suddenly burst out. “Josiah, why do you always act recklessly without thinking of the consequences?”
Sienna thought, ‘On such a cold day, he’s just waking up from a coma The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. If you have a death wish, please let me know ahead of time.”
Sienna didn’t finish her sentence. Josiah suddenly cupped her face and leaned down to kiss her. It wasn’t just a light peck but an intense, breath- stealing deep kiss.
Sienna’s almond–shaped eyes widened, and her entire body shook uncontrollably as if Josiah was about to consume her. It was like being scorched by a blazing fire. She wanted to push him away, but he held her so tightly she couldn’t move,
Sienna wanted to speak, but his even deeper kiss left her no choice. With no other option, Sienna opened her mouth and bit him.

Josiah frowned and let out a muffled groan as the slight taste of blood spread. Finally, he let her go with a grin, wiping the blood from his lip finger, as carefree as always.
“You just love biting people, don’t you?” Josiah couldn’t even remember how many times she’d done it.
Sienna glared at him, wiping her mouth with her hand. “Josiah Are you disgusting? How long has it been since you brushed your Teeth?”
Josiah raised an eyebrow, laughing even more. “What you’re concerned about is whether I’ve brushed my teeth. Can I take that as a sign you don’t mind me kissing you? Right?”
Sienna’s eyes widened even more. She thought, ‘Is that what I mean! He’s always so self–righteous, doing whatever he wants! The pent–up worry and anger from the past few days burst out at that moment.
“Josiah! Don’t think that just because you chased after me and stood in front of me looking all downcast. Il be touched! Nothing is going to change between us.” She gave him a sideways mocking smile.
“Your injury has nothing to do with me, yet you want me to face the consequences? How does that make any sense? What do you take me for? An idiot or a pushover” Sienna asked
