You know better than anyone else that today’s mess stents from Xenia l’in just the one who picked up the pieces! If it weren’t for me, you and Cedric would have split up anyway, and you would only be worse off than you are now” said Josiali.

With her eyes still shot, Sienna’s eyelashes fluttered, and she clenched her hands, remaining silent.

Josial sighed helplessly. Just get some rest and try not to overthink things”

Looking at Sienna’s stubbor face, he thought to himself, forget it… Why bother with a woman who just had her heart broken!

When Sienna wake up, she was alone in the room. When had Josiah left? She wasn’t sure, the anesthesia had a calming effect, and she had fallen asleep afterward

She moved her hands and feet, she finally had some strength. Stresching her arms, she sat up and saw her clothes by the bedside

Sienna held her phone and silently jotted down her tasks in her notes. With the lead dancer injured, she had to take on the lead roles in two additional performances besides “Serene Joys”

On top of that, there were various other chores around the group, making her schedule quite hectic.

As Sienna stepped out of the hospital room, she let out a long sigh of relief, ready to check on Rosse. Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a call from William. She figured he was calling to confirm Joyce a surgery date.
