Coming out of the ward, she took a deep breath. The clear imprint of five fingers on her cheek was particularly visible, but she paid no attention to it.
The faint smile on her face disappeared as soon as she stepped out of the ward.
She walked towards the elevator, followed by Mario's secretary.
The secretary just kept following her, which ignited Sienna's emotions. She suddenly turned around and looked at Mario's secretary, her voice cold and indifferent as she questioned, "I just went to buy water, and he's so worried and afraid that I'll run away? Or is he afraid that I'll expose what happened last night?"
Sienna was in a bad mood, and her tone was naturally unpleasant, filled with sarcastic mockery. Her words echoed in the quiet hospital corridor, sounding particularly abrupt.
The secretary was taken aback and quickly explained, "Mr. King didn't mean it that way. He's just worried that her mother might cause trouble for you, so he asked me to follow you to prevent any unpleasant incidents. As for what you want to do, it's up to you."
Sienna didn't feel any joy because of that; instead, she let out a cold snort and a faint smile, saying, "Is that so?"
The secretary nodded hastily, but Sienna remained silent.
The two entered the elevator, one in front and one behind. Sienna's expression was particularly cold, and even in the confined space of the elevator, the temperature around her seemed to turn cold. The secretary was well aware of Sienna's identity and knew how much Mario valued her, so naturally, he didn't dare to neglect Sienna.
The atmosphere was unusually quiet, so quiet that it felt as if one could hear the sound of breathing.
In a low voice, the secretary spoke, "Mr. King asked me to tell you that Miss Armstrong and Mr. Simpson are probably very worried about you. He suggested that you take the opportunity to make a call to Miss Armstrong while buying the water."
Sienna didn't say anything, nor did she feel any gratitude in her heart.
After all, Mario was the one who caused all of this. He knew very well that his actions would have unimaginable consequences, so why did he persist in doing it?
Was it impulsiveness?
But they had known each other for a long time. If he had any impulses, they would have surfaced long ago.
Sienna wouldn't give him any excuses or reasons to absolve himself. What's done is done. She absolutely couldn't act as if nothing had happened just because he was also injured now. She couldn't be that magnanimous.
Sienna bought two cups of juice from a café near the hospital and slowly made her way back. She had no intention of calling Camille. She wasn't in a good mood right now, so she didn't want to show her worst side to her best friend.
As Sienna walked back to the hospital, she ran into Mrs. King and Mario's cousin. She was the daughter of Mario's uncle and the only girl of the youngest generation in the King family. So when Mrs. King adopted Sienna, the cousin was constantly dissatisfied with her, believing that Sienna had taken away all the love that belonged to her. In her heart, she held deep resentment towards Sienna.
Normally, the relationship between the two was very tense, but Sienna didn't bother paying attention to her. Most of the time, the cousin was just putting on a solo show.
Sienna handed the two cups of juice to Mrs. King and spoke in a gentle tone, "Mom, here's your drink. Why don't you stay a little longer?"
Her attitude was always obedient and well-behaved. Mrs. King didn't say anything, she just reached out and took the juice Sienna handed over, her tone calm as she said, "He's tired. Let him rest a bit. You stay here and take care of him. If there's anything, let me know immediately. Don't keep anything from me."
Sienna nodded to show that she understood, then reached out to hand the other bottle of juice to the cousin. However, she showed no intention of taking it, just glanced at Sienna indifferently. Then, she immediately seized the opportunity to feign concern for Mario, but in reality, she was trying to provoke Mrs. King against Sienna. She said, "Aunt, although it doesn't look serious, I think Mario's injury is quite severe. After all, he hurt his head. What if he has a concussion or other complications?"
Upon hearing this, worry immediately filled Mrs. King's face, and even her gaze towards Sienna turned cold.
