Stemma frowned but agreed. “Mright.” She got up and followed behind Josiah, one after the other, out of the ward.
Josial glanced at: o watch and said, “It’s almost noon. Perfect timing for lunch. How about Lucky Dining”
Sienna glanced at him and said. “Okay,

“Didn’t you have something to say? Speak” Sienna demanded.
Josiah smiled faintly and said, “Let seat first. We can talk later.”
And true to his word, they ate first. After the dishes arrived, Josiah only cared about serving her food. “This venison–you love it, he said.

When she was almost done eating, he served her another bowl of soup. “It’s a little hot. Drink it slowly,” he said.
“Okay” Sienna nodded and took small sips,
“Sienna,” Josiah called out
“Hmm?” She responded. She looked up and wondered. Is he finally going to say it?

Josiah blinked and said with a faint smile, “Although I’ve left the Flynn family, the card I gave you can still be used. It won’t be affected”

Sienna’s almond eyes widened, filled with confusion. “Why is he saying this? she wandered
Josiah took a deep breath and said, “I know everything, Conner is your brother.”
Sienna’s eyes widened. How did he know? Did Conner tell him? she thought,
Josiah turned his face away. When he looked back at her, his eyes were red. “Conner is right. I don’t deserve you. It’s been ten years, and I know nothing about you. What right do I have to keep slinging to you?” Josiah continued
At that moment, Sienna was speechless.
Josiah glanced at her empty bowl and said, “Finished your soup? I’ll get you another-“He reached out, but Sienna stopped him.
“Sierma, he said
Sienna looked at hom gerule, indifferent expression and said with a slight smile. “No need. I’m full” At that moment, she finally understood. Shr

Sienna smiled faintly and said, “Oh, you don’t have to make it so dramatic. It’s post a matter of saying it
Josly shook his head and said “I just wanted to take a good look at you one last time.”
“Mm,” Sienna nodded, dabbed her mouth with a napkin, and looked directly at him, she said. “Have you seen enough? I’m

Sienna curved her lips slightly, picked up her bag, and stood up. She said. “Mm, well then, I’m leaving”
Josah replied, “Alright.” He had nothing else to say
Sienna shing her bag over her shoulder and offered him a grin. “Tin off” she said, taking a step, then another. She sounded like she didn’t want to A him again.
But before she could reach the door, a sturdy figure pressed against her back. Sienna stiffened. It was Josiah From behind, he wrapped his arms around her tightly Sienna stood fmizen, unable to move.
“Sienna” Josiah said and held her tightly, his cheek resting on her shoulder. His voice was hoarse, almost unrecognizable. He continued. “I forgot to tell you I’m sorry. It took me ten years to fall for you. It’s too late, I’m sorry.”
Sienna remained expressionless as she slowly spoke. “There’s nothing to be sorry for. I’ve already said, you can’t force feelings like that. I
understand.”
Some words were 100 shameless to say to her face, so Josiah whispered them from behind. “You used to love me very much. If–just if—if I hadn’t sent you to Flimaty, you would still hive me now, wouldn’t you?”
Sienna raised an eyebrow and said in an amused tone, “If? There’s no point in hypotheticals about the past.
But then he heard her say. “Tut I think I probably would” She paused before continuing. “If we had always been together, until now, I suppose I would still love you?
She was answering his hypothetical with another hypothetical. With thur, she gently pried Josiah’s arms away and said, Tm leaving“
As Josiah watched Sienna pull open the door and walk out, he felt like a marionette with its strings cut. He lost his balance, stumbling backward until he landed heavily in a chair
She said she would still love me. But, there is no “if” he thought.
Ourside, Sienna, carrying her bag, walked all the way to the gate before slowing down. Her thoughts were a chaotic mess, crashing around in her mind, nearly overwhelming ber.
Suddenly. Sienna raised her hand to cover her eyes, murmuring. If only we had stayed together until now. always together, until now”
Her palm gradually became damp. Tears seeped through her tingers. “But, there is no it.” she continued.
Two days later, Rosie underwent surgery. Sienna made arrangements at home and arrived at the hospital before dawn to help Rosie with the pre surgery preparations:
Howard was already there when she arrived, sitting on the couch with his usual silence. He gave a slight nod when he saw Sienna.
“Howard” Sienna greeted. Sienna didn’t say much and immediately went to accompany Rosir.
Rosse took her hand and whispered, “Sienna, you came just in time. I need to ask you a favor”
“What is it? Sienna asked
Rosir Incked in Howard’s direction and said, “Well, Mr. Flynn has helped me so much, and my show my gratitude. Do you know what lie likes?”

Wgth for Howard?” Sienna said.
Sienna thought. You could give him a blade of grass, and he’d still like it.” She smiled and said, “Don’t worry about expensive things. Howard doesn’t lack anything. Just a token of appreciation will do. The more heartfelt, the better.”
“A token of appreciation Let me think,” Rosie said and frowned in thought.
Stop thinking for now Focus on your surgery, Sienna said
“Oh okay,” Rosie replied.
