Chapter 380
Howard Hooked up and met his eyes. “Josiah, I am having a hard time alone. I need your help
Jostale’s lips parted slightly, his heartbeat quickened, and his mind was in turmoid. “But…”
Howard understood his concer
concerns and sighed. “Grandma is old and needs time to accept everything. Just give her some time. But withi brothers, and that will never change
Josiah frowned deeply, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Howard, let’s talk about it later. He honestly didn’t know if he should agree or not. He thought to himself, I’ve already been kicked out of the Flynn family by Miranda. Can I still shamelessly cling to the Flynn Group! “Alright” Howard didn’t push him further. He lowered his head, the apple in his hand was now fully peeled.
“Thanks” Josiah thanked him and reached out his hand.
But Howard gave him a sidelong glance, cut off a piece of the apple, and popped it into his own mouth. “You haven’t agreed to help mr yet, so you don’t get to eat this We’ll talk later.”
Josiah was speechless.
Sienna probably wouldn’t come tonight.
The clock on the wall pointed to nine o’clock. Josiah thought to himself that Sa
Unable to hold back, he sent her a message. [Sull filming!!
He didn’t get an immediate response.
The door to the hospital room was knocked on it was a nurse coming in for Josiah’s evening treatment. Along with her was Zach

“Mr. Flynn, Zach said, holding a laptop and a stack of documents. He wa
Josiah understood that a lot had likely piled up during his absence. He nodded and pointed to a chair. “Have a seat.”
“Alright.” As his assistant, Zach was familiar with all parts of Josiah’s business affairs, including those outside the Flynn Group. These are the marke trends from the last

“Okay,” Josiah nodded, taking the documents and the laptop. After carefully reviewing them, he gave Zach instructions. “Do it like

Josiah said, “Alright, you can go

“Sure thing” Leaving the room, Zach couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Josiah was ready to take
Others might not know, but Zach knew better than anyone else
Josiali’s other identity was as Jelacrity’s iron–fisted financial manipulator, a rising star in the financial world that even many veterans feared
Zach respected Josiah’s capabilities and talent, having witnessed them firsthand.
He also had recently discovered that Josiah wasn’t actually a member of the Flynn family but rather the son of the Evans family
Josiali’s talents likely came from his biological father–Jelacrity’s finance mogul, Andy
Fate had played a cruel trick, now, Josiah had to use these inherited talents to go against his own father.
Indeed, Josiah felt this way. With few familial ties and nothing to his name, his only asset was his own talent.
His phone buzzed with a message from Sienna (Sull filming. It’s going to be late tonight. I’ll come to the hospital first thing in the innering ra
Josiah let out a breath of relief. Though she couldn’t come, her message soothed his frazzled nerves
He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, thinking.
- g. When I wake up,
- up. I’ll see Sienna:
Josich woke up groggily at some undetermined time, seemingly to the sound of Sienna’s voice.
She was talking to the murse, asking about his condition the previous day.
The nurse replied. “He’s been doing well overall. His temperature spiked a hit but didn’t go over 100“P”
That was indeed good news. Sienna nodded, thinking he was recovering quickly due to his relatively good health.
When she turned around. Josiah was awake, watching her with a wide grin. “You’re here? So early”
“Yeah” Sienna walked over and asked, “Do you want to sleep a little more?”
“No” Josah shook his head and propped himself up on his elbows. “I need to use the bathroom
“Perfect” Sienna said. “You can freshen up too, I brought breakfast. Let’s eat together.”
Josiah’s smile widened “Alright.”
the time he came out from washing up. Sienna had already laid out breakfast. Hearing his footsteps, she waved him over. “Come sit.” Josiah walked over and they sat across from each other. She added, “Add some vinegar
He replied “Got it
Jouah enjoyed her care, feeling a warm glow in his chest. It felt comforting. “How’s Joyce doing these days?”
Sienna replied. “She’s doing well.”
When I’m discharged, I’ll take her to
Bringing up their daughter softened Josiah’s expression, and he had endless things to say. Sienna listened
quietly, occasionally acknowledging him.
When they were almost done eating, Josiah handed her a napkin. “Here you go. Need help?”
“Thanks” Sienna ignored his teasing and took the napkin to wipe her mouth. Then she looked him directly in the eyes.
With a senous demeanor, she said, “Josiah, this is the last time I’m coming to see you. From now on, I won’t be coming anymore”
She had wanted to say this yesterday but had held back because his condition was still unstable then.
As she finished speaking, Josiah’s simile quickly froze on his face, looking equally shocked and disbelieving
His cheeks twitched unconfortably, forming a twisted expression that was neither a smile nor a frown. “What… what are you saying? 1 don’t
His pranar was evident. Sienna, however, remained calm and continued. “Honestly, I could have skipped this visit, but I wanted to make things clear so we don’t have to keep getting entangled”
By this point, there was no trace of a smile left on Josiali’s face. His eyes feelings for you?”
He suddenly stood i truly like you”

Josiah was at a loss for words, struck speechless. He wondered, Ts Sienna bringing up old grievances?
“Tin not bringing up old grievances. Sienna shook her head. “I’m just telling you that just because you like me doesn’t mean I have to like you or accept you
“I don’t believe it. I don’t believe you don’t like me at all.” Josiah’s hand holding hers trembled, his eyes faintly red. “You’re obviously nervous about me and care about me”
Sienna remained unhurried and composed. That’s because seeing you now reminds me of my past self.
The feeling of being at someone’s mercy is terrible. You must have had a hard time all these years”
She paused and sighed. “This is sympathy, pity, empathy, not love
Josiah thought. ‘Not love. Sienna doesn’t love me! His heart felt like it was being torn apart with excruciating pain.
His eyes shimmered with unshed tears, wetted lashes framing them. His thin lips moved with difficulty as he spoke, “What about Joyce? Have you forgotten her? Are you going to abandon her?”
