Chapter 248 Howard stood up and left the lounge.

It was about tfor him to wait by the operating room.

Sienna followed silently behind him.

Howard.

Yvette got up from the bench and linked her arm through Howards Sit down, your leg shouldnt be tired, she said.

Sure.

Howard said.

A few steps away, Sienna quietly observed them, feeling a sense of surreal detachment.

The selfish and calculating Yvette in front of her had once risked her life to save the Flynn Brothers.

Howard had said that Josiahs kindness towards Yvette was was out of gratitude.

Sienna suddenly wondered, What about Howard? Is his affection for Yvette more of love or gratitude? Or could it be that his love for her stemmed from cratitude! The sky brightened.

Josiah frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

His arm felt heavy.

He looked down to see Sienna holding his arm, asleep on the edge of the bed Her long hair softly draped over her shoulders, smooth and shiny.

Josiahs Adams apple rolled, and a part of his heart seemed to sink.

Sienna wasnt a deep sleeper and seemed to sense something, propping herself up on her arm and lifting her head.

Awake? Josiah looked at her with a smile that was both teasing and genuine, and said, Drools coming out. You should wipe it, Huh? Sienna was taken aback, her face flushing red in an instant as she hastily raised her hand to wipe it.

Then, she froze.

There was no drool .

She frowned and glared at him, saying Am 1 that easy to fool ! Pil ... I didnt expect you to be so gullible, Josiah chuckled.

Sienna tried to pull her hand away, but Josiah held on tight, saying.

Im sorry, Im sorry! Dont leave .

Sienna... stay with me! Sienna thought.

What can I do? She had to humor him.

This man, when he got crazy, could end up back in the operating room.

She said, I wont leave Sienna pointed at the IV bottle and said, Its almost done.

I go call the nurse to clamp it The air going in wasnt a joke.

Okay Reluctantly, Josiah let her go.

Sienna got up a and left the ward, quickly returning with a nurse and a caregiver.

The nurse cto clamp the line, while the caregiver brought food.

Once the nurse left.

Sienna brought over a bowl, stirring the contents with a spoon, saying, Its chicken soup.

Ive shredded the chicken into strips.

You can eat sand drink ssoup.

She ladled a spoonful of soup, blew on it to cool it down, and brought it to Jossals lips.

Sienna said, Its not hot anymore, drink it, Josiah obediently opened his mouth, his eyes and brows curving into a smile, saying, Delicious Have smore more meat.

Sienna picked up her chopsticks, placed a piece of chicken on the spoon, and fed it to him.

Josiah accepted it all, his expression even more joyful .

Sienna, Im really happy, he said this time, Sienna wasnt giving him the cold shoulder anymore.

He continued, 1 should have known that a trip to the operating room would make you not angry anymore.

I should have done it sooner.

Sienna p paused for a moment as the continued to feed him, saying, Eat quickly, itll get cold Mm, okay Being taken care of by her, Josiah was in high spirits.

Josiah thought, When a woman gets jealous, its really something! Like this, She still wont admit she likes! She clearly likes me, a lot He believed it wouldnt be long before he could replace Cedric in her heart, completely erasing that guys trace, it was just a matter of time.

ing her fill.

After feeding Josiah, Sienna went to the cafeteria to eat.

Compared to Josiahs patient diet, her meal was much more substantial.

After eating she returned to the bedside, where Josiah was stretching his neck, almost like a waiting husband stone.

Sienna, are you full ! Josiah asked .

1/3 Chapter 248 Min hmmm.

sienu nodded and went over to the sofa, Josiah furrowed his brows.

He thought, ts she going to sleep on the sofa again? However, Sienna quickly returned, holding a pilit was her sleeping pillow.

She padded over to the bedside in her indoor cotton slippers, placed the pillow next to Josiahs, then climbed onto the bed and lay down carefully She looked up at him, saying, Didnt bump you, did 1 ? No! Josials snapped back to reality, answering with a firm no Good Sienna felt around on the bedside table for the remote control.

Directly across from the bed hung a television.

She thought, Since I have nothing better to do, why not watch TV? Staring at each other will be quite awkward What do you want to watch? Sienna asked him.

Since they were watching together, she should ask for his preference.

Whatever.

Even under normal circumstances, Josiah would always go along with Sienna, not to mention he was currently in a state of bliss.

* Choose what you like.

I keep you company, Josiah said.

Okay Sienna held the remote control, flipping through channels, and finally settled on a lively variety show.

Sienna said, Lets go with this one.

Her mind was in turmoil.

She couldnt focus on any serious programs or TV shows, Sure, Josiah agreed, carefully shifting his body until he finally held Sienna in his arms.

Sienna was startled, her body tensing up immediately, saying, Be careful not to tear your wound again It wont Josiah held her tight, saying, I want to hold you.

Cto think of it, he felt a bit wronged and continued.

I havent held you in days.

Sienna let him be.

She had guessed as much when she lay down.

Her compliance made Josiahs heart even softer, and his boldness grew.

He tried to press his cheek against hers.

Feeling it wasnt enough, he rubbed against her smore.

Tk.

Sienna was getting a bit annoyed, saying, If you get out of line, Im getting down.

Dont! Josiah tightened his arm explaining sadly, Tr not being out of line, am I? I just miss you.

Sienna glanced at him, implying something.

She said, You should hold off for now.

With your condition right now, when it comes to it, if youre in discomfort, thats on you.

Why should I suffer with you? Josiah thought, I am being rejected! Sienna Josiah immediately reassured her, Wait for the e, my injury will heal soon, and I wont make you uncomfortable for long For Siennas sake, he decided to endure for now. Finally, he behaved.

Josiah was young and in good physical shape, so he recovered quickly.

After a peaceful four or five days, his wounds were healing well.

However, since the wound had to open once, there might be sscarring.

When changing his clothes, Sienna muttered something.

Whats there to be afraid of? Josiah didnt mind, saying, Its just a scar.

Would you despisefor it! Sienna was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head.

She suddenly remembered the mottled scars on his back.

For him, scars were indeed nothing to worry about.

Also, she thought.

How did he get those scars on his back? Could it be related to the om kidnapping when he was a child? As night fell, Howard sat in the car, preparing to go to the hospital to check on Josiah . Tonight, he was alone.

Miranda wasnt feeling well, and Yvette was staying with the elderly lady at home.

As the car passed through the intersection, suddenly, a figure dashed across.

With a screech, Zaid slammed on the brakes.

Zaid thought, Oh no, I hit someone! Howard furrowed his brows and said, Hervey, go check it out Yes, sir ! Hervey and Zaid got out of the car.

In a short while, Hervey cback carrying someone, with Zaid opening the car door for him Howards brows knitted together, saying, is she seriously injured Boss, take a look, who is she? Hervey bent down and placed the person on the seat next to Howard. 2/3 9:46 PM Chapter 248 Howard glanced over and could only tell it was a woman.

He asked, Who is she?
