Chapter 285 Howards legs were still shaky , and he had a hard time crouching down .
Rosie Ah The moment he spoke , Rosie screamed in terror .
She covered her ears , shaking as her eyes grew wide with fear .
Dont come closer ! She raised her hand to her neck .
That was when Howard noticed she was holding a piece of broken glass .
It was a shard from the glass cover of the clock she had smashed just moments before , now tightly gripped in her palm .
Daniel Rosie mistook Howard for Daniel and glared at him .
Do you want me dead ? Ill do it myself Suddenly , her eyelids fluttered , her grip relaxed , and the glass shard fell to the floor as she collapsed toward Howard .
He instinctively reached out and caught her .
He e had been the one to hit Rosie hard on the back of her neck , making her unconscious to st rage .
stop her from hurting herself in her rag Howard grabbed a quilt from the bed , wrapping Rosie tightly in it , and with a worried look , he stood up and walked out of the room .
Howard ? Hervey stood at the top of the stairs , coming down quickly when he saw him.
Let me carry her .
But Howard stepped aside , shaking his head .
No need , I can manage .
Hervey said .
But your legs … Howards legs werent strong enough for heavy lifting .
wont hurt me .
Howard insisted , Shes as light as a feather , a few steps wo Alright Since Howard was so determined .
Hervey chose not to argue .
At that moment , Daniel was still pinned against the wall , completely unaware of the chaos happening behind him .
echoing in the room .
As Howard passed by , his face was dark with a frown , and he kicked Daniel hard .
Ah ! Daniel screamed in pain , his voice e Keeping his eyes ahead , Howard carried Rosie straight out .
Hervey rushed to keep up , his worry clear .
Howard , is your leg okay ? That kick must have taken a lot of effort Its fine .
Howards face stayed serious .
The one to worry about was Daniel .
Once they were in the car , Howard didnt let go of Rosie , who lay against him .
He felt tense and couldnt move much At first , Rosie was silent .
Then , as though disturbed by a troubling dream , she suddenly began to cry .
Her voice was barely above a whisper , soft like mewling kitten , but it tore at Howards heart Howard , unsure of how to comfort her , clumsily lifted a hand and placed it on Rosies back , parting her gently once , then twice .
Somehow , Rosie quieted down , looking calmed by his touch .
Howard looked down at her , brushing the hair from her face as he softly said , Good girl .
After a short pause , he sighed .
Im sorry , it was my fault you got hurt .
Though he hadnt hurt her , her pain was a result of his actions.
Looking at her face , he faintly noticed Bobbys resemblance in her features .
Their son looked like his mon As the recording for todays show was about to start , Sienna walked out of the studio , where Josiah had been waiting for a while .
Josiah had news about Rosie .
Howard took Rosie to the hospital to treat her injuries , which werent serious , and now Rosie was back at City Pearl Howard ? Sienna gasped , both surprised and impressed .
He is such a good man Josiah didni s say anything , his expression far from happy .
Whats wrong ? Sienna asked , noticing something was off .
Josiah looked displeased .
I need to go abroad tomorrow , if all goes well , Ill be back in a week , but if not … it could take half a month He leaned down , wrapping his arms around Sienna .
Come back to Silver Beach with me tonight ? Sienna Troge , leaning against him , her emotions swirling like a storm .
A voice in her head shouted that her chance had come .
These days , she had promised herself not to fight with him , hoping for just such a moment .
Surprisingly , that moment had arrived so quickly .
What a fantastic chance .
One to two weeks was enough for her to leave Jelacrity , to run far away .
Soon , she could take Joyce and start fresh , far from Josiah 1/2 11:54 AM Chapter 283 What do you say ? Josial held her gently , swaying her slightly .
Ill ask Howard to take care of Rosie .
You trust Howard the most , dont you ? Mm .
Sienna smiled .
Okay Thats amazing ! Josiah , excited , quickly kissed her lips .
Change your clothes so we can head home ! He guided her forward toward the changing room .
Romilly made your favorite soup .
Tonight , Ill wash your hair , then we can watch your favorite shows together .
Sienna ulted her head to look at him , smiling softly .
Sounds good At that moment , everything he said felt like a blessing to her .
Tomorrow , Josiah would leave Jeiacrity for a trip abroad .
This was their last moment together It felt nice to have a peaceful evening together before parting , preparing for a proper goodbye the next day .
A clean break , never to be tangled up At City Pearl , Howard sat across from Rosie on the sofa as they locked eyes in silence .
Rosie had lost count of how many times she had tried to speak , her lips growing stiff .
Howard , thank you for your help today Mm Would you like some water ? Mm , Howard responded with only those short sounds and nothing else .
