Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 314

A panicked subordinate burst into the room.

"Bad news, Ms. Sloan! There was a massive wreck down the mountain! Mr. Sterling is..."

Sienna's gaze sharpened.

Staring at the man's terrified, almost twisted face, she raised an eyebrow. "He's dead?"

The man shook his head violently, rushing to clarify. "No, the Boss is fine. It's Mrs. Bridges... The hospital just pronounced her dead on arrival!"

"What?!"

All three people in the study jumped to their feet.

Without a second thought, a wave of inexplicable unease washed over Sienna.

She immediately stood up and rushed straight to the hospital.

Capital Hospital.

The atmosphere in the hallway was suffocatingly tense.

The moment Sienna stepped out of the elevator, she spotted Jarred sitting in the treatment room.

One of his arms was wrapped in heavy medical gauze while a doctor tended to his wounds.

His clothes and trousers were stained with striking patches of blood—whether it was his or someone else's, she couldn't tell.

The lazy, cynical edge he usually wore was completely gone, along with the sharp decisiveness of his SWAT days.

All that remained was an unspeakable exhaustion and heavy gloom as he sat there in total silence.

Sienna had never seen Jarred look so pathetic and defeated.

Those deep, magnetic eyes that usually stirred her soul were now brimming with a million complicated emotions.

Trapped in his chest with nowhere to go.

Sienna pulled her gaze away, walking over with an impassive expression.

She looked at Declan standing nearby, her voice calm. "Mr. Ward, what happened?"

Seeing Sienna, Declan quickly stood up, his face etched with profound grief.
