Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 349

+30 Bonus

Only after Sierra and Holly moved away from the commotion did Holly glance sideways at Sierra. “What were you about to say?”

“Nothing.” Sierra swallowed the words that she almost spat out. “You weren’t hit, were you?”

Even though she had already checked Holly, John’s message still made her worry.

“I’m fine, just a little startled,” Holly said casually as she watched security throw the troublemakers out. “Let’s just get a private room next time. It’s lively out here, but you never know who might start something after drinking.”

Sierra made a quiet hum of agreement.

She stayed with Holly for about another half hour before they left.

On their way out, Sierra picked up the one untouched glass of lemon juice on the table and downed it in a single gulp, trying to press down the lingering fear from John’s message with the sharp sourness.

“Holy…” Holly winced just watching her. “You really are ruthless.”

Sierra set the glass down. “Come on. I’ll drive you.”

Holly went with her. She had been drinking and could not drive.

On the way back, Holly sat in the passenger seat and glanced at Sierra, who was focused on the road. Then she tapped a few times on her screen and sent a message to the contact she had labeled “Dog“.

[Did you finish looking into it?]

Nicholas replied almost at once. [Why don’t you come over and check for yourself?]

Even now, he still hadn’t found which doctor Pamela had seen back then. All he had managed to confirm was that it was probably a doctor at the hospital attached to Jade City University.

“Sierra’s not doing well,” Holly typed. “She didn’t tell me what happened. She just drank more than a whole glass of fresh lemon juice.”

Nicholas fired back one message after another.

[???]

Holly could see the question marks popping up beside his avatar. [Hurry up and do your job. Stop slacking.]

Nicholas answered, [Got it.]

Then, another message followed up from him. [You’re the one slacking!]

After their chat, Holly put her phone away and asked Sierra casually, “You’re drinking lemon juice because that scumbag picked on you again, right?”

“This is our time. We’re not talking about anyone else,” Sierra said, changing the subject.

Seeing Sierra like this, Holly had a rough idea of what was going on. Since Sierra didn’t want to say anything more, Holly didn’t press her.

Half an hour later, after dropping Holly off, Sierra drove back to Campanile Estate,

She got out of the car and headed straight upstairs to the study. When she pushed the door open, she saw John sitting at the computer. As soon as he saw her, he put his work aside.

“You’re back. Did you have a good time?”

Bang!

Sierra set her phone down in front of him. On the screen was the message he had sent her.

“What’s wrong?” John asked.

“Was that fight at the bar something you arranged?” Sierra asked bluntly.

John didn’t deny it. “More or less.”

“Do you know Holly almost got hit?” Just thinking about how little he cared about other people’s safety sent anger surging inside Sierra. “She didn’t do anything to you. Why would you do that?”

John’s gaze stayed cool. “What do you think?”
