Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 500

Sienna noticed the man beside her suddenly grow quiet.

He was assessing her with a deep, penetrating gaze, like he was trying to fit a missing puzzle piece into place.

She was all too familiar with that look.

Every time he tried to dig up one of her secrets, he would wear this exact expression.

Jarred's deep eyes, laced with scrutiny, stared unblinkingly at Sienna by his side.

Dr. Rosalind was Sienna's biological grandmother, her closest blood relative.

And Dr. Vance had recently been invited by Sienna to treat Celeste's leg injury.

The two shared a deep, well-known friendship.

These two virtually unreachable titans of Traditional Medicine were deeply intertwined with Sienna.

Yet, despite knowing Sienna for so long and investigating all her past credentials...

He had never once heard of her apprenticing under anyone.

Even though she had studied Traditional Medicine since childhood, as far as he knew, she only flipped through the medical texts her grandmother left behind.

Even if she had a bit of talent and could barely be considered proficient...

She shouldn't even be in the same conversation as the Enigmatic Successor of Alistair Vance.

Despite thinking this, Jarred still couldn't entirely shake his suspicions.

He suppressed his turbulent thoughts, lowered his voice, and asked probingly, "You have a deep relationship with Dr. Vance. Have you ever met this rumored Enigmatic Successor of his?"

"Dr. Vance stopped taking students thirty years ago." Sienna plucked a grape and casually popped it into her mouth.

"I'm only twenty-five this year. Where would I even go to meet them?"

Jarred stared intently at her cool, composed features, trying to catch even the slightest flaw in her eyes.

But he found absolutely nothing.

She was too calm, too open—so unbothered that it made all his suspicions feel like baseless paranoia.

Eventually, he withdrew the darkness from his gaze and stayed silent, no longer pressing the issue.
