Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 299 Sienna pulled her hand back, her delicate lashes fluttering.

Then Ill await your news.

Alright Josiahs gaze darkened as he also withdrew his hand, turning his drink in thoughtful silence. Sienna, may 1 ... meet Joyce? They both knew this meeting was different from any past meetings.

He wanted to recognize her as his daughter П Sienna smirked, not surprised at all, as she had prepared herself for this.

Josiah, Joyce and I are used to our life now.

In our world, its just us ... Do you understand? The answer he expected Josiah nodded, bitterness rising in his throat.

Tunderstand.

He had missed out on every important moment in Joyces life.

Siennas refusal to let him acknowledge his daughter was predictable.

Also ..

Sienna sipped her tea and added.

Please dont tell Grandma anything about Joyce Miranda valued family ties above all.

If she learned about Joyce, she would surely try to bring Joyce into the Flynn family, maybe even try to fix things between Josiah and herself.

Sienna wanted to avoid any trouble.

Very well Josiah frowned and replied seriously, I know what to do Thank you Sienna smiled gratefully. Josiahs heart felt heavy with bitterness, making it hard for him to smile.

He took a card from his pocket and placed it in front of Sienna.

Whats this Sienna asked, confused.

Its my supplementary card.

Without thinking.

Sienna shook her head.

I dont need it.

Youve already givenenough.

But Josiah insisted.

That was for you; this is for Joyce ... for her care.

As Joyces dad, I have a duty to support her.

Sienna opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words, Josiah urged her, Take it ; this card has no limit. Alright! Sienna hesitated for a moment before accepting the card.

After wrapping up their conversation, they left the cafe, and Josiah walked Sienna to her apartment building. Thank you she said, unbuckling her seatbelt and reaching for the door.

= Sienna, Josiah suddenly called.

Yes? Sienna turned to look at him.

Josiah frowned, struggling to find the right words.

He took a deep breath and blurted.

Do you hate? Sienna studied him for a moment before responding.

If I said I dont hate you, would you believe me? Her sarcasm was clear.

Josiah swallowed hard, there was no doubt that Sienna did hate him.

What does hate matter! It serves no purpose Siennas gaze lingered on his pale face, her laughter cold . We are Joyces parents, lets just interact as that Because of Joyces health, their paths would cross.

For Joyces sake, they needed to at least be civil with each other.

Tm leaving Sienna waved her hund and hurried inside the building.

Josiah sat quietly in the car, murmuring softly, For Joyce ... Sienna, what about you! After all these years of hatred and resentment, how will you ever find prace! The next day.

Sienna got a message from Josiah .

Ive contacted the doctor, Ill send you the address and contact details.

Please take Joyce there Komorrow.

Sienna Okay.

Thank you.

] 1/2 12:01 PM d Chapter 200 Josiah laughed cynically to himself.

His life had beca mess things couldnt get any worse.

Sienna was only thanking him for Joyce After breakfast, Sienna dressed Joyer in her warm outfit and carried her out.

Tara followed behind, carrying a bag full of things for Joyce.

Thanks to Josiahs plans, they faced no wait at the hospital and were quickly brought in to see the doctor. Xenon, a top expert in blood disorders, examined Joyce.

After the check up, Tara took Joyce to play in the garden while Xenon chatted with Sienna and the previously absent Josiah .

After reviewing all the test results, Xenon said, Dont worry, both of you.

Joyces condition isnt very alarming, its manageable.

Xenon explained the treatment plan in deiail, Based on the follow up results, well make sadjustments. Thank you, Xenon.

Sienna sat up straight, her hands instinctively gripping tightly.

Youre welcome.

Xenon smiled as he glanced at Josiah .

About surgery, the records show youve been registered and are in the queue ? Josiah looked at Sienna.

Yes.

Sienna nodded.

But we havent reached the front yet.

Theres another option Xenon looked at both of them.

Youre both young; have you thought about having a second child Sienna looked down when she heard this.

Even the expert thought the sam sthing.

Josiah sighed softly, worry shadowing his face.

But we havent had success so far.

Xenon understood.

This cant be rushed.

Lets take a conservative approach continue with the treatment while still ve trying for a second child. As Xenon spoke, he wrote out a prescription.

Ive reviewed the medication Joyce had before, well stop two of them and add a new one.

Please keep a close watch during the first phase.

Understood.

Josiah took the prescription and told Sienna, Tll get the medication and bring it to you. Sienna nodded without objection.

As they left the consultation room, Sienna looked at him.

You can go now.

Josiah nodded.

Til get the medication and be back soon.

She had loved him once, but now, that love was gone.

Josiah closed the box and put it away.
