Chapter 78 Here I Am, as You Wished
The Olson manor.
The luxury black car slowly stopped halfway up the mountain. The building that looked like a castle
came into view.
In contrast to its enigmatic aura during the night, the Olson manor appeared resplendent in the
sunlight, radiating grandeur.
Sienna stepped out of the car, lifting her head to face the piercing rays of the sun as she gazed at the imposing structure before her.
A sultry breeze brushed through her hair, and unlike before, all the pent-up frustrations and pains seemed to have vanished, leaving behind a numbness that only heightened the restlessness in her
heart.
“Mrs. Olson… If you please.”
Alexander spoke gently.
Opening her eyes, Sienna strode forward.
“Take me to Adrian.”
As they entered the grand hall, Jeremy spotted her from a distance and hurriedly approached, a
flicker of joy evident on his face.
However, Sienna remained icy-cold, her expression devoid of any extraneous emotions.
“Mrs. Olson… If you please, Mr. Olson is in his room.” As he mentioned Adrian, Jeremy’s concern deepened, but he dared not be remiss.
“Thank goodness, Mrs. Olson. You have finally returned. Mr. Olson is still running a high fever and refuses to take his medicine. His temperature won’t come down, and we fear for his well-being. Please do your best to persuade him,” Jeremy implored urgently.
Sienna had no room for such matters. Soon, she stood once again before that door, grasping the handle, hesitating for a brief moment.
On the other side awaited the devil. There was no other option at this point.
Sienna thought, “Adrian… You have played your cards well.”
The fleeting emotions in her mesmerizing eyes swiftly vanished, and then Sienna decisively pushed open the door.
The room emanated a calm woody fragrance mingled with a hint of disinfectant, subtly carrying a tinge of blood.
It was all too familiar.

“Here I am, as you wished,” Sienna’s voice, cool and tinged with a touch of mockery, resounded
through the room.
Adrian on the bed opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. The tiredness in his eyes flashed by. Seeing Sienna, his heart felt a little happy and satisfied.
After a brief moment, he spoke, “Help me sit up.”
His words held a commanding tone, and his gaze was fixed upon the woman beside him, leaving no
room for doubt.
Sienna walked over and emptied all the emotions in her heart, doing as he said.
As Adrian observed this suddenly compliant woman before him, he couldn’t discern whether he felt
contentment or… restlessness.
“I said you would come back.”
“I told you, you couldn’t escape. Unless I’m dead.”
With the heavy drapes blocking the sunlight, the room was enveloped in a stifling darkness. Adrian’s voice, akin to snow atop an iceberg, possessed a hint of iciness that sent chills down one’s
spine.
Sienna was unmoved. Under the dim light, she looked into his eyes.
In an instant, sparks collided between the two pairs of beautiful eyes, yet there was no glimmer of light to be seen.
“Save my father. I won’t run away.”
“Isn’t this what you want now? Everything is as you wish. Your purpose has been achieved.”
Sienna spoke casually, but a hint of complaint involuntarily crept into her tone.
Adrian curled his lips, unable to conceal his current allure with his pale complexion. He now bore a touch of a sickly charm.
“Is this the attitude you have when seeking help?”
Seeing Sienna’s indifference, Adrian couldn’t help but feel angry for no reason. But he forcibly suppressed the violence in his heart. His words were particularly harsh.
Sienna tightly clenched her fist, remaining silent.
She had prepared herself before coming here, but she hadn’t anticipated that her heart would still tremble at the very moment of facing him.

Approaching the medicine cup in front of her, she stepped forward and handed it to Adrian./
Adrian’s cold gaze fell upon it, his brows slightly furrowing. He had always detested taking
medicine.
“Feed me the medicine.”
Once again, Adrian spoke with a little less coldness in his tone.
Sienna’s eyes dimmed slightly, her mind filled with images of her father’s weakness. She moved forward and looked at the medicine cup on the bedside table, eventually picking it up.
In the next second, her wrist was abruptly grabbed by Adrian, and her entire body was pulled forward. Before she could react, the liquid in the cup had already spilled out.
Adrian’s clothes were drenched.
“What are you doing!”
Caught off guard by his sudden action, their distance closed in. Sienna instinctively avoided his
chest wound, but the scorching heat emanating from his body caught her by surprise.
“Feed me the medicine.”
“Do you need me to teach you even this?”
Adrian spoke dismissively, his gaze fixed on the woman before him, as if he were staring at prey.
Sienna had no time to react and raised her hand to comply. Thankfully, the medicine in the cup had already cooled down.
Sienna gazed at the medicine bowl, while Adrian stared intensely at her. However, in this ambiguous atmosphere, not even a hint of affection arose.
Sip after sip, Sienna mechanically repeated the process as if completing a task.
Soon, the cup was empty.
“You’re a smart person. I believe you know what to do.” Adrian spoke slowly, his voice hoa rse.
Looking up at Adrian, who still exuded an air of superiority despite his weakened state, Sienna couldn’t help but perceive him as a devil. This man… he didn’t deserve pity.
“Now, immediately send someone to save my father, and I promise you that I’ll stay.”
“Adrian, I can’t lose my father again.”
Sienna’s breath sprayed across Adrian’s face, and the warmth of it pleased him greatly.
A faint smile rippled on Adrian’s face. Adrian rarely smiled. Yet, with just a gentle smile, everything
