Chapter 373
After leaving Clearbay Estates, Josiah returned to the hospital. He and Howard sat outside the ward, waiting. Miranda refused to see him, but he couldn’t avoid fullling his duties as a grandson.
For Josiah, the moment he joined the Flynn family and called Miranda “Grandma, she would always be his grandmother, no matter what.
Outside the ward, Josiah and Howard sat sisle by side. “Yvette and Sienna came by. Howard said.
Josiah nodded:
Howard glanced at Josiah, recalling something “I’ve already told Yvette about it. Sienna doesn’t know anything, so I didn’t mention it to her.” Back then, the three of them–Howard, Yvette, and Josiah–had survived together. From the moment they stepped into the Flynn residence, this secret had been buried deep within them. No one expected that, in the end, the secret would still come to light.
Josiah’s gaze grew darker, and he fell into silence.
“As for Sienna Howard sighed lightly, “You should decide how to handle it.”
When it came to Josiah’s background, there was no way to explain it in just a few words. If it had to be said, it would have to come directly from him to Sienna
The next morning. Josiah arrived at Sunshine Neighborhood as usual. Sienna opened the door and was taken aback when she saw the heavy bruise under his lower eyes. “Didn’t you sleep last night?”
Josiah nodded. “I was worried about Grandma
Sienna thought to herself, Why? Didn’t the doctor say she would be fine? I’ve already gone to the hospital, and Howard said everything was okay. Come on, you probably lost sleep because of Yvente!
“Sienna.” Josiah, unaware of her thoughts, took her hand, his expression a bit complicated. He hesitated, struggling to find the right words. “I need to talk to you
Is he going to break up with me? Is he finally going to be with Yvette? She nodded, trying to
Sienna froze, wondering. What is he going to say? Is h prepare herself “Okay, go ahead.”
Josiah said. “Given Grandma’s illness, I’m afraid our wedding has to be postponed.”
Hearing this, Sienna’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Yvette’s words from last night were coming true. Just wait and see! Josiah won’t marry you! He’ll choose me”
She thought, So it wasn’t a breakup, but just a postponed wedding?
“I see…” Sienna let out a soft laugh. “Got it. Then we’ll just wait
Even though she was smiling, Josiah felt a sense of uncase. He squeezed her hand lightly. “Once Grandma is feeling better, I’ll talk to her about our wedding”
Sienna thought. That excuse is so weak. Miranda’s condition isn’t that serious. In fact, married, she’d probably get better a lot faster.

Why is he stalling, refusing to bring up the breakup? Is it really that hard to admit that he is doing this for Yvette
Sienna didn’t call him out on it. Between them, the lud never been the one to call the shots. If he wanted to drag things out, then she would let
It was all up to Yvette now in suddenly figured out why she was so confident
Sienna thought that she didn’t need to do anything. All she had to do was quietly wait–wait for Yvelle to successfully take her place, and for Josiah and Yvette to get together..
Once that happened, she would finally be free.
She thought, Yvette, please don’t let me down.
Chapter 373
Josiah held her close, his mind swirling with a million thoughts. Miranda already knew about his background. He wasn’t sure whether he could stay in the Flynn family any longer.
Josiah looked down at Sienna in his arms, thinking. Sienna hasn’t known the truth yet. How am I supposed to tell her?
Im not really the second son of the Flynn family. Would she mind it? If she did, what should I do? I’m already in a bad position with her. Would she despise me even more because of my background? Would she look down on me?
The doctor came out after the rounds and met the worried faces of Howard and Josiah. “There’s no major issue with Mrs. Flynn. Her spirits are quite good. She’s asking for you two to come in and talk
Howard said. “Thank you”
The doctor said. “You’re welcome.”
After the doctor left, Howard and Josiah exchanged a glance. Finally, Grandma was willing
ng to see them. They entered the ward, standing by the bed–one on each side. ‘Grandma”
They didn’t dare say much, afraid of upsetting her. They just waited for her to speak.
Miranda’s face was cold and calm as she looked up at Josiah. “You should leave. You know what this means, right?”
“Grandma“” Howard was shocked, glancing at Josiah
Josiah’s face turned pale, his body tensing up. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss, unfocused. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he stood motionless.
Miranda let out a cold laugh “You’re not Josiah. I don’t want to see you again. Since you’ve called me ‘Grandma‘ all these years, I won’t make a scene. Just leave. Let’s part on decent terms,”
“Grandma!” Howard couldn’t take it any longer. He frowned and said, “Josiah may not be a blood relative he’s been caring for you and managing the Flynn family alongside me. He has done a lot
e of the Flynn family, but for all these years,
“So what?” Miranda suddenly raised her voice, glaring at Howard. “Compared to what he’s received from the Flynn family, what he has done is nothing”
Howard was stunned, but Josiah’s face had gone completely pale, drained of all color. It was as if the blood in his body had frozen, and every movement caused a shiver…
“Howard” Miranda wasn’t done. She glared at Howard, her voice harsh “Are you trying to upset me? Josiah is gone, and now I have to face this fraud every day!
Howard looked at Josiah, who looked devastated.
“Howard” Josiah gave a forced smile at Howard, but his eyes were hollow. “Grandma is ill. Don’t argue with her.”
Josiah Howard frowned deeply, torn and helpless. He didn’t know what to do,
Josiah lowered his gaze, looking at Miranda with deep guilt and sorrow in his eyes. “Grandma, please don’t be upset. I’ll leave now.” Howard said, “Josiah?”
Josiah smiled, looking extremely sad. “I’m leaving. Howard. Take care of Grandma. I will never fo
forget the kindness you’ve shown me
He took a step back and knelt before Miranda, bowing deeply, “Grandma, thank you for raising me. From now on, I won’t be able to take care o you. Please take care!
Miranela watches in silence, her eyes welling up with tears. Suddenly, she squeezed her eyes shut, raising her hand to wave him off. “Gol”
Josiah stood up, gave one last look at Miranda and Howard, and walked away.
Howard said, “Josjaht”

“Don’t” Howard tried to chase after him, but Miranda stopped him with tears streaming down her face. “He’s just a fraud: He’s not your brother!”
