Chapter 212

Sierra’s lips turned into a mocking smile as she looked at John. “Keep dreaming.”

“It’s not a dream,” John shot back.

“You can give up already,” Sierra had never once backed down on this. “Even if I end up begging on the street and starving, I won’t ever come back.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions about things you don’t know the whole story to,” John said, his tone calm and low. “Don’t forget, your words have a way of coming back and biting you.”

Sierra didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Her loathing for him had hit its peak, but the anger in her chest still would not go down.

After a long moment of silence, she finally snapped and asked, “Why do you keep holding on to me and refusing to let go?!”

“Because you’re Sierra.” Her name gave her that rustic charm and a heart stronger than his, like an unbreakable mountain

range.

“Then I’ll go change my name to something else tomorrow,” Sierra said, still in a bad mood. “You can go find yourself another

Sierra.”

John’s dark eyes rested on her, a hint of emotion surfacing there. In the end, he did not argue back. He was afraid of making her even angrier.

After a while, Sierra’s mood eased a little.

She was just about to tell him to leave when she heard movement outside the door. A second later, the door flew open, and Tommy rushed in. “Mom!”

Sierra froze.

She didn’t think he would get here so fast.

“Are you alright? Where are you hurt?” Tommy’s eyes swept up and down her, then landed on her bandaged ankle. “Is it here?”

“Yeah, just a little scrape.” Sierra patted his head.

The tension in Tommy finally went away. He then stood in front of Sierra like a little grown–up, his eyes full of annoyance when he looked at John.

“This is the serious injury you were talking about?”

John looked relaxed, not at all guilty. “That’s right.”

Tommy used his young voice to stress the point again. “Serious?”

“The wound isn’t gaping,” John said, sounding completely serious as he talked about something almost impossible, “but if it gets badly infected and you do not treat it in time, it might have to be amputated.”

Tommy fell silent.

Sierra fell silent, too.

“Liar!” Tommy threw the word at John, already realizing that his mom had ended up encountering John alone because he had panicked too much.

John lifted his brows. “What did I lie about?”

Tommy’s eyes dropped to Sierra’s injury, then turned to John.

He didn’t say a word, but the message was clear.

“I had not checked your mom’s wound at that time,” John said, still playing it straight despite spewing rubbish. “I didn’t know if the glass might have scraped up any rust.”

“Will you swear on that?” Tommy knew exactly how to corner him, too.

“What would I swear on?” John asked, unhurried.

Tommy looked at his father straight in the eyes as he laid down the terms. “You came in here just to check on Mom’s injury. If that isn’t true, you and Mom will never have a future together.”

John’s fingers stopped just as they were holding his phone.
