Chapter 348
As the hospital room door closed, Josiah’s face darkened. His hands were clenched tightly in silence, Seeing his troubled expression, Zach frowned and lowered his head in shame. “Mr. Flynn, it’s my fault everything went wrong”
Cedric had beaten him to Sienna, leaving Josiah at a big disadvantage. But Josiah could not blame Zach or Cedric
He should be thankful to Cedric. As Cedric had said, if it weren’t for him, Sienna might have died. Josiah closed his eyes hard, thinking that losing Sienna was worse than Cedric gaining the upper hand.
“It’s alright.” Josiah’s gaze was fixed on the hospital room door. “Just wait
Waiting was all they needed to do. What mattered most was that Sienna was safe. Still, Josiah wondered if Sie along
Sienna had been thinking of Cedric all
From the beginning, Sienna had never accepted him; she had always had feelings for Cedric. And now, with Cedric risking his life to save her again, Josiah thought Sienna might consider getting back together with Cedric
Sienna lay quietly on the hospital bed, an oxygen mask covering her face. As she heard footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes.

“Sienna.” Cedric approached gently, standing by bedside, being careful not to startle her. He spoke softly and slowly. “How are you feeling?” Sienna opened her mouth to respond. “Don’t speak,” Cedric interrupted, worried. “The nurse said you’re too weak to talk. Just blink or nod.” Sienna smiled faintly and blinked. It was her way of saying–I’m fine, I have recovered.
“That’s good to hear” Cedric’s eyes misted as he fought to stay composed. He raised his arm and took her hand in his. I really scared me, thank goodness.”
He chuckled lightly. The nurse mentioned you were calling for me earlier?”
In a shaky voice, he said. “You
Sienna nodded silently. You were worried about me, weren’t you?” Cedric’s eyes softened, he understood what Sienna was feeling. “I’m fine… see, I’m okay.”
Sienna looked at him quietly, and then her gaze fell to his arm. Her voice was hoarse as she whispered, “Arm… arm…” She remembered how Cedric had shielded himself with his arm against the freight box,

“Arm?” Cedric understood, raising his injured arm and grimacing. “Ouch it does hurt a bit!” He smiled casually. “I almost forgot until y mentioned it” Sienna frowned at him.
“Don’t worry.” Cedric assured, squeezing her hand. “I’ll take care of it shortly; I was just too anxious about you to pay attention. This is just a minor Injury; it’s nothing serious.”
But Sienna didn’t seem convinced; her frown deepened, as if urging him,

chuckled. “I get it, I’ll handle it right away; no need to rush. Releasing her hand, he remembered something, and his smile faded slightly. “Sienna, Josiah is outside, waiting to
to see you. The nurse said only one visitor is allowed at a time, so I came in first.
Sienna frowned, shock and confusion filling her eyes. He actually came? Why is he here! Yvette must not need him right now, which is why he could spare a moment to see me. That fits his usual behavior!
Sienna remained quietly thoughtful Cedric then said, “Sienna, I’ll go and bring him in”
“No…” At that mome
moment, she called out, her face pale; she was still too weak, and speaking nearly drained her of all her strength.
“Sienna?” Cedric asked with concern, bending down to grasp her hand. “What’s wrong?
Sienna shook her head, forcing her voice out in a rough whisper, “No… him…..”“
*No him?” Cedric repeated, confusion crossing his face as he realized what she
meant. “Sienna, do you mean you don’t want to see Josiah?”
Sienna nodded, tired and weak. There should be a resolution between them, but she was too exhausted now; she needed rest and couldn’t face a confrontation. Although Cedric didn’t fully understand her reasoning, he supported her wishes without question
He nodded. “Okay. Rest well-
Sienna breathed a sigh of relief and gently closed her eyes. At the entrance to the hospital room, once Cedric stepped out, Josiah’s gaze sharpened and he moved forward, intent on entering. Has Cedric blocked his way. “You can’t go in
“Let go” Josiah glared at him. fury rising within him. Do you really think you can stop me?”
“I can’t stop you, but what about Sienna Cedric replied coldly, lowering his voice.
“What do you mean?” Josiah was taken aback. “What are you trying
It’s Sienna” Cedric held Josiah’s arm tightly. “Sienna said herself that she doesn’t want to see you!”
“Bullshit!” Josiah shouted angrily. “Why wouldn’t she want to see me?” He believed that just because she had been turning him down lately didn’t mean she didn’t want to meet him
“Cedric, stop trying to create problems! Do you think that because you saved her life, she belongs to you now? What a delusional thought! Step aside!” Josiah forcefully shook off Cedric’s grip and pushed the door open to storm into the hospital room
Josiah Cedric hissed, gritting his teeth. “You cannot

in! Sienna doesn’t want to see you!”
The loud argument woke Sienna from her sleep. She struggled to open her eyes, and when she saw Josiah, her head throbbed as if it would break Sienna thought, “Why on earth did he come? I have just been brought back from death’s door, did he really think he
e could disturb my rest?
Josiah reached her bedside, and upon seeing the pale, fragile Sienna lying there, his heart twisted with guilt and sorrow. “Sienna…” The moment he spoke, Sienna turned her face away, squeezing her eyes shut, making her rejection clear. She did not want to see him.
“Sienna?”
“Josiah Cedric moved forward, trying to pull him away, “Don’t you get it? Sienna truly doesn’t want to see you!”
“Get away!” Josiah, anguish written all over his face, broke free from Cedric’s grasp and suddenly took Sienna’s hand. “Sienna, wit’s wrong?”
Why did you refuse to see me? The moment their hands touched, Sienna tensed up, struggling in distress. Her blood oxygen levels dropped, and the monitor began to emit a loud alarm.
“Sienna!” Cedric shouted in alarm, his face turning pale. “What’s happening to you? He quickly reached for the emergency call button at the head of the bed, urgently speaking into the intercom, “VIP room 9, Sienna is not well!”
“We’ll be there soon!”
Cedric glared furiously at Josiah. “Still not letting go! It’s Sienna who doesn’t want to see your
Just then, the alarm grew sharper and more urgent
