I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 609

"Ms. Sterling, could you please come down to Global Air right away? Captain Fletcher... something is wrong with his current state."

Sienna immediately threw on her clothes and rushed out the door.

When she arrived, a group of people were standing in the hallway. Chief Morgan and a young officer in uniform were among them, looking incredibly grim.

Chief Morgan hurried over the second he saw her. He looked awkward and deeply apologetic.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak.

Sienna brushed right past him, marching straight toward the conference room.

The door was open.

She saw Finn sitting in the furthest chair, leaning forward, elbows resting on his knees, his fingers buried deep in his hair, looking utterly tortured.

The back of his white shirt was completely soaked in sweat. He was hunched over, looking like a tree snapped in half by a hurricane.

Sienna's chest tightened violently. She rushed over and crouched down in front of him.

"Finn."

He didn't react.

His fingers kept clawing at his scalp, his breathing ragged, his shoulders shaking in a terrifyingly heartbreaking display.

Sienna felt a heavy weight crush her chest, a burning lump rising in her throat.

It had been three months. Finn hadn't had a single episode.

She thought everything was heading in the right direction.

Why was he reduced to this today?

Sienna snapped her head around, glaring at the men standing in the doorway, her face contorted with uncontrollable fury.

"What the hell happened here?"

Chief Morgan stepped forward hesitantly, his voice hushed.

"Captain Fletcher came in today to cancel his leave. He wanted to start the reinstatement process. The Aeromedical Division was running an evaluation. He didn't know the staff was discussing his case, and he stood outside the door... he heard everything."

"Heard what?" Sienna's voice pitched up sharply.

Chief Morgan paused, glancing over at the Global Air staff nearby.

"He heard them saying that with Captain Fletcher's current condition, there is absolutely no way he can fly again."

Sienna glared right through him.

Sienna shot to her feet, spinning around to face the group at the door.

"Is this how you treat Finn?"

She practically screamed the words.

Using every ounce of strength in her body.

To the point where she physically began to shake.

The duty officer stepped back in fear. Chief Morgan stood frozen in place, his lips parting, his face a portrait of guilt.

The hallway was dead silent. The room was dead silent.

No one dared to breathe.

Sienna was the only one speaking, fiercely dressing down everyone in the room.

"Finn is a decorated captain for Global Air," she snapped, every word ringing with absolute authority. "He flew the most dangerous routes. He completed the highest-level missions. When he was flying those missions, you called him a hero. But the moment he hits a rough patch, you brush him off with a single sentence? How long was he standing outside that door? Did you even notice him?"

No one dared to respond.

"You know exactly what condition he's in right now! Even if you had to tell him, couldn't you have found a better way? Couldn't someone have sat him down and explained it to him face-to-face? Letting him stand outside a door, listening to you debate how to toss him aside... is this how you treat your decorated captains?"
