Josiah! If you don’t say anything. I’m coming in” After receiving no response for so long. Howard anxiously pushed the door open to enter
The bathroom door swung open, and Josiah stood, dripping wet from the top, with water still dripping from his hair.
That wasn’t all, Josiah’s face was as pale as paper and seemed completely out of mind, moving like a ghost
Howard thought, What’s going on He wasn’t sure what had happened, but he had learned from the nurse that Sienna had visited
Howard thought, It must have something to do whl Sienna. Seeing Josial like this, hard they gotten into another argument? And a serious one!”
Howard let out an almost inaudible sigh. “Josiah” He wanted to comfort Josiah, but he wasn’t good with words.
Josiah forced a smile that looked more like he was about to cry. “Howard, you’re here?”
“Yeah.” Howard nodded, full of concern for Josiah “Your clothes are soaked; go change into something dry. We have treatment later”
“Sure, Howard,” Josiah’s smile grew wider, but it was even more heartbreaking.
Howard couldn’t bear to look and instructed the caregiver, “Support Mr. Flynn”
“Yes” the caregiver replied.
As Josiah went to change. Howard turned around, picked up his phone, and called Yvette Josiah has been found”
Howard’s intent was to keep it from Yvette, hoping Sienna and Josiah could spend more time together. But now, things had soured between them Maybe having someone else around Josiah would help.
After the call, Josiah changed his clothes and came out. The caregiver helped him lie down on the hospital bed.
A nurse came over to administer treatment and noticed his hand was bleeding. “Mr. Flynn’s hand needs bandaging”
Howard hadn’t noticed until the nurse mentioned it. He leaned closer and saw Josiah’s hands covered in cuts and bruises, likely from smashing things earlier.
Thank you.” Howard replied.
“It’s my duty,” the nurse said as she fetched supplies. She cleaned Josiah’s wound, applied medication, and bandaged it.
Howard looked at Josiah, unsure
how to
to comfort him. Mi
Matters of the heart weren’t Howard’s forte.
“Josiah!” The door opened as Yvette was wheeled in by a caregiver. “What’s happening?”
“You’re here,” Josiah said with a smile, shaking his head. “It’s nothing just a minor injury”
Yvette and Howard exchanged a look, not believing him. They’ve known each other since childhood–surely they could see through him. Josiah’s injuries weren’t just on the surface; the deeper wound was in his heart.
After the earlier commotion, Josiah’s lever rose again.
The doctor came in for a check–up and prescribed more medication. He reprimanded, “How could you let him get soaked! He already has pneumonia; that’s a serious mistake.”
Howard instructed the caregiver, “From now on, keep a close watch on Mr. Flynn. If you can’t handle it alone, I’ll find someone to assist you.”
“Yes. Mr. Flynn, the caregiver replied
A high
gh fever troubled Josiah’s heart, making him drift in and out of consciousness.
Once out of the hospital room, Yvette, filled with questions, immediately asked Howard, “Was it Sienna!”
Howard remained silent and replied, “I don’t know”
Yvette sneered, understanding the situation. “You deliberately withheld the news, didn’t you? Just to let Sienna hurt Josiah!”
Howard wanted to defend himself but couldn’t find the right words. “I didn’t know it would end up like this.”
“Howard!” Yvette shook her head in anger. “How many times have I told you that Sienna ba’t sincere with Josiah, but you never believed.”
Howard remained silent, with nothing to refute
“Go ahead and take care of your things” Yvette calmed down, “I stay here with Josiah”

Howard hesitated and asked, “How about you!”
Yvette shook her head “To’s okay. My leg won’t get better quickly, but it’s not life–threatening Can you bear to leave Josiah alone like this?”
Howard didn’t say much more.
“Call me if something happens”

Yvette held a towel to wipe his sweat and used an ice pack on him, replacing it often. “Josiah, please get better soon
That day. Sienna didn’t have any filming in the morning. She planned to go to the hospital with Conner. The purpose was to have Conner checked. by the doctor, and Dr. Nelson had set up a series of tests for him
“The tests look fine Dr. Nelson said after reviewing the report and asking Conner more about his condition. “Mr. Fischer, you had surgery three months ago
Conner nodded honestly. “Yes. It was because of injuries from a car crash that affected my liver.” However, since it was accident–related there weren’t any lasting issues after the surgery.
“I sec.” Dr. Nebon nodded, “According to the report, you’ve been recovering well.But……”
He glanced at Sienna. If you’re planning for a bone marrow transplant, you’ll need to wait another three months. Bone marrow transplants have strict requirements for the donor.
Wait even more!” Conner was the first to question, “Can’t it be any faster, Dr. Nelson? I’m fine.”
The doctor chuckled. Whether there’s a problem or not isn’t for you to decide. It requires a professional medical judgment”
“Firstly,” the doctor explained, “Mr. Fischer, you’ve just had a major surgery, and it’s too soon for another operation. Your liver needs time to recover, rushing into surgery could cause organ failure
“Secondly, an immediate operation isn’t an option. You need high–protein therapy first. Meanwhile, you should engage in some p
physical exercise and receive psychological support to reduce surgical risks”
“But… Conner still thought it was too slow
Sienna frowned slightly. “Didn’t you understand what the doctor said?” Besides, three months was much better than the endless wait they had before. She couldn’t ignore Conner’s health just for Joyce’s sake.
“Dr. Nelson, Ill follow your advice. You handle the arrangements, Sienna said.
“Alright,” Dr. Nelson nodded. Tll prescribe some medicine for you. Remember to take it daily, and I’ll refer you to a counselor, so make sure to go on time.” He handed him a booklet. This is an exercise guide. Take it home and follow it.”
“Okay” Conner accepted it seriously
Dr. Nelson turned to Sienna. “Til begin scheduling the surgery date, but you’ll still need to wait for an available slot. As soon as the date is set. I inform you immediately“.
Hearing this, Sienna’s voice caught, tears almost coming out. “Okay Thank you, Dr. Nelson
“You’re welcome. Dr. Nebon smiled.
After they left the doctor’s office, Conner went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. “Sienna, wait here for me”
“Okay” Sienna stood in place. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the lobby, turning the already crowded place into a noisy chaos.
“Quick! Stop hert Don’t let her get away!”
Sienna had no idea what was happening when a woman ran straight into her.

Instinctively. Sama raised her hamils to help her. However, the force was too great, and they both fell to the floor, with Sienna unintentionally becoming her cushion, hitting the ground hand
I’m sorry” The woman clumsily scrambled to her feet, trying to apologize, but before Sienna could say anything. Conner came back
Like picking up a small animal, Conner grabbed the woman
nxiconly looked at Sienna. “Sienna, are you okay?”“

Connet instantly became furious, glaring at the woman Can’t you watch where you’re going! You just walked right into her. He thought, has a condition and can’t afford to get hun

“Apologize is useless. If Siemma’s…” Commer salil

Sienna shook her head at Conner, seeing the woman shivering, “I just a small injury”
In the crowd, a large number of people rushed forward. The woman suddenly strugded. “Let me go
“Think you can just walk away after hunting someone” Conner refused to let go.
Sienna frowned those people must be after this woman. “Conner, let her go.”
“Sienna Conner asked confused
“Hurry” Sienna yelled. Those people might discover the woman any moment now.
“Alright” Conner reluctantly released his grip
“Sienna
The woman was stunned, she lifted her head to glance at Sienna and managed a smile. “Thank you” She then quickly turned around and dashed. into the crowdl

“Spread out and find her.”
Watching the direction the woman ran off to. Sienna silently prayed that she wouldn’t get caught. They were strangers, Sienna didn’t know what had happened to her. But the woman’s desperate escape reminded her of herself that year in Flirty,
Conner grabbed Sienna’s wrist, very worried. “Sienna. You’re bleeding a lot. Quick, let’s see a doctor.”
“Why are you exaggerating?” Sienna chuckled and pulled her hand back. “It’s just a scrape tissue will clean it right up, and by the time we see a doctor, it already be healed”
“You can still make jokes? Conner frowned, eyes wi
Sienna suddenly realized that Conner didn’t know about Joyce yet. She pressed her lips together and looked up at him. “Actually. Im not the one who’s sick. Its not me who has aplastic anemia:”

“What?” Conner was taken aback, confused. “Sienna, what do you mean?” He thought. If Sienna isn’t sick, then v
why do we go to the hospital
“Let me show you a picture” Sienna picked up her phone and opened the gallery. “I didn’t mention it because I hadn’t expected a successful match. I have a daughter The one who’s sick is my daughter”
Sienna held up the photo for Conner to see. “Look, this is my daughter. Joyce
“Let me see” Conner was still a intle confused. He wok the photo and looked at it, unsure whether to feel happy or sad. “She’s so beautiful, so

Conner murmured, Joyce, Joyce. She looks like me.”
Indeed, Joyce’s eyes and brows had a certain resemblance to Conner, Conner’s eyes became slightly moist, and he said with difficulty, “Sienna, I’m
