Ashlyn glanced at Sienna again. “Where are you staying?”
Sienna blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I-I don't have the strength.”
“Help her up,” commanded Ashlyn. Immediately, two men assisted Sienna to her feet. “Move forward, turn left, and after a short distance, you'll reach there,” she instructed.
About five minutes later, they arrived at Sienna's little cabin.
The cabin was quite modest. Despite its small size, it was complete.
Ashlyn took in the sight of the small cabin. After the men helped Sienna onto the bed, they retreated to the doorway, casually closing the door behind them.
The room was very quiet. The silence carried a hint of awkwardness.
After a while, Sienna finally said, “Ms. Berry, can you help me get a fresh set of clothes from the wardrobe in the corner that I can change into?”
“Sure.” Ashlyn stood up, fetched a set of clean clothes, and handed them to her.
“Do you need my help changing it?”
“It's fine, I can manage on my own.” Sienna had regained a bit of her strength by then. The icy river water had chilled her to the bone, leaving her shivering all over.
However, there was no way she could let Ashlyn help her change her clothes. The thought of the grudges between her and Ashlyn left her with nothing but embarrassment and melancholy.
Since she was heavily pregnant, it took her a good five or six minutes to change her clothes.
