Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 386

All the staff members' eyes widened in sheer disbelief, their faces etched with absolute shock.

Jarred's expression turned incredibly grim in that split second.

His jaw was locked tight, a vein visibly throbbing at his temple.

He looked like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

He thought the worst-case scenario for this evaluation would be a rejection of the medical parole, keeping the status quo.

He never imagined that Sienna would ruthlessly commit Celeste straight to the highest-security psychiatric ward—a place with zero freedom.

He had just seen Celeste; he was certain she was genuinely traumatized.

But it absolutely wasn't severe enough to warrant locking her away in a high-security mental ward.

This so-called persecution mania, this extreme emotional instability.

He was a hundred percent sure Sienna was making this diagnosis out of sheer spite.

She didn't want to treat Celeste; she wanted to cage her in an impenetrable fortress she could never escape from.

But who was Sienna?

Ever since Jonathan Coleman stepped back a few years ago, she had practically become the ultimate authority in psychiatry.

Not a single person in the room doubted her diagnosis.

Director Madeline Vane nodded, immediately ordering her subordinates, "We follow Dr. Sloan's diagnosis to the letter. Get it arranged right away."

"Yes, ma'am."

All the staff sprang into action.

Jarred's face darkened drastically, a thick layer of frost overtaking his black eyes, his aura dropping to terrifyingly low pressure.

He spoke up immediately, "I disagree. Celeste's condition is nowhere near severe enough to require placement in a high-security psychiatric ward."

Everyone's gaze shifted to him.

Sienna looked at him, too, her eyes calm. "Captain Sterling, weren't you the one fighting for medical parole?

Weren't you the one insisting her mental state was poor and required professional treatment?
