Chapter 248 Howard stood up and left the lounge .

It was about time for him to wait by the operating room .noveldrama

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 came to 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 some and drink some soup .

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 some more 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 me ! 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 pillme it 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 .

Come to 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 some more .

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 me , 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 torn open once , there might be some scarring .

When changing his clothes , Sienna muttered something .

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

Would you despise me for 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 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 came back 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 .

He asked , Who is she ?
