Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428

Josiah's eyes flickered.

'Sienna... She didn't even want to see me, Josiah thought.

"Don't be angry..." Yvette continued, "Your father did it for you. He probably thought that you would want Sienna by your side, so..."

Josiah closed his eyes, his already pale face became more ashen.

He did want Sienna by his side.

However, he didn't want anyone to force her.

Yvette looked at Josiah's face and loosened her grip as she whispered, "Wait here. I'll go get Sienna..."

Josiah didn't respond. Yvette silently turned her wheelchair and left.

When the door opened, Yvette pointed to Sienna and said to the bodyguards, "Take her inside. Josiah wants to see her."

The bodyguards exchanged glances and nodded.

They pulled Sienna up and led her inside. "Go on in."

"Sienna..." Josiah was lying flat. The instant he saw Sienna enter, his eyes turned red.

He glared at the bodyguards. "Let go of her."

"Mr. Edgar Evans.." The bodyguard tried to explain, "Mr. Andy Evans gave us orders..."

"I said let go of her. Ugh." As he was still weak, he became short of breath from the agitation. He gasped and was drenched in s w e a t .

"Mr. Evans, please calm down. We'll untie her now," said the bodyguard The bodyguards exchanged glances. One of them took out a knife and swiftly cut the ropes binding Sienna.

The moment the restraints were loosened, Sienna felt her breathing e a s e .

She raised her hands to massage her arms.

Her arms had been tied behind her back, and they had gone numb after such a long time.

"Sienna." Josiah lay there weakly, struggling to get up.

The toxin hadn't completely left his system, so his nerves were still numb, and his muscles could not move freely yet.

"Mr. Evans." The nurse anxiously held his shoulder. "You can't get up yet."

"Let go of me. I'm not disabled," said Josiah.

"Mr. Evans..." The nurse tried to stop him.

"Listen to the nurse." Sienna suddenly spoke.

She was not loud, but that was enough to make Josiah quiet down.

Sienna rubbed her arm as she walked slowly closer to him. Her gaze fixed on him. "You can only lie down for now."

"Okay." Josiah stared at her and nodded obediently. "I'll listen to you."

There was unconscious flattery in the way he looked at her.

His gaze fixed on her arm, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"They tied you up for a long time. Did it hurt?"

"No." Sienna shook her head with a faint smile. "Just a little numb."

"I..." Josiah wanted to rub her arm, but as soon as he lifted his arm, it fell powerlessly.

He was not able to exert strength and had to give up.

Looking at her face, he asked softly, "Besides tying you up, did the old geezer give you any trouble? Are you okay?"

Sienna smiled faintly, and her eyes sparkled. "I should be the one asking you that. How are you?"

"I..." Josiah stuttered.

For some reason, seeing her calm demeanor filled Josiah with an inexplicable sadness.

She was right in front of him, yet he had never felt so distant.

He tugged his lips uneasily. "I'm okay. Don't worry. I'll be fine once the venom is cleared.."

"Okay." Sienna nodded as she remained her smile.

It made Josiah's heart sink even more.

Sienna rarely smiled at him like that.

"Thank you," said Sienna.
