Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 210

Sierra blinked when he realized it was John.

The tension in her chest shifted into annoyance. “Why are you here?”

She instinctively glanced toward the door as she remembered something. She had asked the landlord to switch to a smart lock so he could not just open the door with a key. Had he hacked it?

“Don’t look at me like that. Tommy gave me the code,” John said as he handed her phone back to her, speaking slowly and clearly. “You can ask him if you don’t believe me.”

Sierra took the phone, still doubtful.

There really was a missed call from Tommy on the screen. She tapped the number and called back, but her wariness toward John didn’t ease at all.

“Mommy!” Tommy answered right away, his worry impossible to hide. “Are you alright?”

Sierra had no idea what John had told him as she blinked. “What?”

“Dad said you were badly hurt. I called you, and you didn’t pick up, so I gave him the code so he could go in and check on you,” Tommy said as he laid everything out in one breath. “How bad is it?”

“I’m fine. I’m not hurt,” Sierra said as she looked at John with even more annoyance.

Had he even lied to their son?

The utter shamelessness!

“Then what’s that?” John’s gaze dropped to her ankle, where the glass had cut her.

The wound was two or three centimeters long, and he could see the tender flesh underneath from this angle.

“Come here so I can put some medicine on it.”

Tommy heard that through the phone. “Just put the medicine first! I’ll be there soon!”

Sierra wanted to say more, but Tommy had already hung up.

To keep her from worrying, he messaged her right after to say he was coming with Grant.

“Do you think this is fun?” Sierra stared at John. “Using your own son like that?”

John’s answer was to grab her wrist and pull her down onto the sofa. Before she could move, he said in a low voice, “Don’t move.

Sierra was about to say something when she saw him pick up a cotton swab and start disinfecting the cut with an ointment. He was so careful with it, like he was handling something rare and fragile, like he was afraid of hurting her.

She forced her feelings down and snatched the swab from his hand. She quickly finished cleaning the wound herself before she slapped on two bandages as fast as she could.

That…

Actually hurt.

A lot.

When the alcohol touched the cut, the pain almost made her cry out.

But she was angry, and she refused to show any weakness in front of John. She kept her face blank and finished everything, even

saying, “With how slow you are, the wound would heal before you finished disinfecting it.”

John’s eyes rested on her face.

Sierra felt uncomfortable with how John was looking at her. “You can leave now.”

“Didn’t think you could stand that much pain,” John said as he exposed her without hesitation.

Sierra went quiet.

Was it that hard to just shut up for a second?
