Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 216

“Sorry, sorry,” Cindy apologized to her colleagues at once.

After this, her earlier enthusiasm faded.

Cindy wasn’t completely stupid. She understood that Sierra suddenly refusing to answer her questions despite her usual courteous demeanor could only mean one thing.

Sierra must have heard their conversation outside the door.

Cindy didn’t dare ask Sierra outright. If Sierra really was some rich heiress or someone with status, offending her would be asking for trouble.

With that uneasiness hanging over her, the morning passed, and noon arrived.

At exactly twelve, Cindy went to Sierra again and asked, “Let’s have lunch together. What do you want to eat? My treat.”

“I have something else to do. I won’t be eating at the company,” Sierra replied.

Sierra finished the last of her work and put her computer to sleep mode. Then, she picked up her purse and walked out of the office.

Cindy felt stung by the cold response, but she also knew that Sierra had hardly ever stayed for lunch at the company. She would leave at noon after she finished her work every time.

“Well, did you figure anything out?”

“How did she react?”

“She’s not going to get back at us, right?”

The others who had joined in the gossip came over to ask, all of them nervous. The two male coworkers who had gone the farthest with their nasty guesses were especially scared, afraid they would be targeted.

Cindy told them she didn’t know and said nothing more.

Sierra took the subway to the hospital.

She went to Anna’s room first for a visit and spoke with Anna a little bit. Only then did she head up to the floor where Solomon

was.

As the Henderson family’s eldest son, Solomon had an entire floor dedicated to him. Two bodyguards stood outside his door.

When they saw her arrive, they stepped aside without a word.

“Why are you here?” Solomon looked surprised. “Aren’t you supposed to be at work today?”

“It’s my lunch break.” Sierra walked up to the bed and looked at his head, wrapped up like a mummy. She then asked about his condition. “How is your injury?”

“It’s nothing serious.” Solomon gave her a gentle smile. “Don’t worry.”

“Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?” Sierra asked again.

“In about two days,” Solomon answered each of her questions. “The wounds are mostly superficial. As long as the wounds don’t get infected, I’ll be fine.”

Sierra nodded in acknowledgement. There was a complicated look in her eyes that she didn’t bother to hide. She wanted Solomon to see it and ask the question that came next.

“What’s that look for?” Solomon sounded as mild and gentle as ever.

“I thought about it carefully after I got home last night.” Sierra looked straight at him. “You and I are acquainted at most. Why would you risk your life to save me?”

Solomon clearly didn’t expect her to be so direct. Even someone like him, who was used to speaking in veiled language, was thrown off balance.

He repeated what he had told her before. “Because you’re part of the Henderson family too.”
