He didnt dare to touch her again.

Instead, he swept her up in his arms.

We need to get to the hospital.

Not so fast, Cedric stepped forward and blocked his way.

You can u can go if you want, but Sienna stays here.

He had just learned the truth today it was because of him that he had lost Sienna.

How touching, he mocked inwardly.

I did it, so what? Josiah asked indifferently, his chin held high and his eyes slightly lowered.
