Chapter 211 i that moment , Josiah froze completely , unable to move .
Despite appearing dominant in his relationship with Sienna , it had always been Sienna who held the reins ..
Josiah couldnt live without her .
But she treated d him with a push and pull indifference , as if she could walk away at any time .
And now , as Sienna clung to him , it felt like he was her entire world .
Josiah hesitated for less than a second before leaning down and embracing her tightly .
Her scent filled his senses .
It was 50 Josiah , she murmured his name .
Huh ? Josiah responded .
I dont feel so well .
Can you take ALE down the e mountain ? she said softly .
Sure .
Josiah glanced down at her , his hand brushing her cheek .
It felt cool , as did her hands Without delay , Josiah scooped her up and hurried down the mountain .
He opened the car door and carefully placed her inside .
Grabbing a bottle of water , he twisted it open and brought it to her lips .
Drink some water .
Okay , Sienna managed a few sips before shaking her head , signaling shed had enough .
Josiah wanted to ask if something had happened to her on the mountain .
But her pale complexion stopped him .
Instead , he gendy brushed back a strand of her hair .
Close your eyes and get some rest .
Okay , Sienna replied .
She nodded and leaned back weakly , closing her eyes .
The car started , and Josiah , worried that Sienna might be cold , turned up the heater a bit .
He didnt dare to drive too fast , afraid of aggravating her discomfort Siennas head tilted to the side , her eyes shut as if she were drifting into a dream .
Josiah couldnt see her face , only hear her faint , distressed murmurs .
Unable to suppress his concern , he pulled the car over to the side of the road .
Taking her hand , he whispered , Sienna Are you awake ? Sienna didnt respond .
Her soft murmuring continued .
Mom … Josiah leaned closer and heard her more clearly .
Sienna was calling for her mother .
Mom , Im sorry , I was wrong .
Im so sorry … she mumbled .
What does this mean ? Why is Sienna apologizing to her mother ? And in her sleep ? Josiah wondered .
I was wrong .
Im sorry … Siennas voice trailed off , filled with sorrow .
At that moment , she was utterly heartbreaking .
Josiah quietly embraced her , murmuring gently into her ear , Dont cry , Your mom wont blame you .
He didnt know the full story .
But he believed that no mother would ever truly blame her child , well , except for certain cold hearted animals .
the stillness , Sienna slowly opened her eyes , gazing at him in confusion .
Youre awake ? Josiah asked , his hand brushing her face .
Her skin was warmer than before , which gave him some relief .
He wiped away the tears at the comers of her eyes .
You had a nightmare earlier , so I stopped to hold you and comfort you .
Are you feeling any 1/3 Idia Check in Youchent 1:39 PM c Chapter 211 better now ? Sienna hadnt been fully asleep earlier .
Her mind was in a detached state .
She had a vague awareness of what Josiah did and knew he wasnt lying .
She nodded slightly .

Lets keep going , she said .
It was already dark .
If it rained or snowed , the roads could become hazardatis , Alright .
Josiah agreed .
He started the car and resumed driving As they entered the city , Josiah glanced at Sienna .
How about staying at Silver Beach tonight ? He was genuinely worried about her .
No , Sienna said , frowning and shaking her head , Take me back to Sunshine Neighborhood She longed to see Joyce .
She wanted to be with her .
Sienna … Josiah began .
Yes or no ? Sienna snapped , her irritation flaring as she whipped her head toward him , her eyes blazing .
If you wont take me , stop the car .

Faced with her vehement refusal , he had no other cholec Josiah had no choice but to agree .
With a turn of the steering wheel , he headed toward Sunshine Neighborhood.
Stop it The car fell into a sudden silence .
Through the rearview mirror , Josiah stole glances at Sienna and silently reminded himself to understand her Sienna missed her mother today .
Josiah nodded .
How old was Sienna back then ? Six or seven .
Howard replied , his gaze narrowing as he studied Josiah Why are you suddenly asking about this ? Have you started caring about Sienna now ! Well , L.
Josiah felt a little embarrassed by Howards observation .
Its my responsibility to care about her .
I know I have a lot to work on .
Since when do you reflect on yourself ? A subtle , unreadable expression crossed Howards refined features .
Are you serious about Sienna ? Josiah hesitated briefly but didnt directly answer the question .
Howard , this is the first time Ive actively pursued a woman .
Im not sure if Im doing it perfectly , but I genuinely want to make it work with Sienna , he admitted .
That alone proved his sincerity .
For a a moment , Howards feelings were mixed .
He gazed at Josiah with a meaningful look and sighed .
Youve When a person desires stability , it was a clear sign of maturity grown up .
Howards thoughts drifted to Yvette , and he let out a soft sigh .

What are you talking about ? Youre older than me .
If anyones having a wedding first , its you and Yvette .
Me and Yuette ? Howard mused .
A faint smile touched his lips , and he patted his leg lightly .
Alright .

Howard reached for his cane and stood up , Josiah quickly moved to support him , but Howard waved him off .
No need .
I can manage on my own .
Nearby , Hervey was already waiting for Howard .
