Chapter 411 Early in the morning .

Sienna use to pack Joyers hag for the day ahead .

The previous night , Tara had received a call from Josiah , informing her that he would be coming to pick up Joyce today .

Howard had likely informed Joyce about her outing with Josi Josiah .

Joyce didnt need Sienna to wake her up .

She got up on her own .

She trailed behind Sienna like a line shadow .

Mommy , when is Mr.

Flynn coming ? Siena smiled and pointed to the clock on the wall .

He will be here at eight oclock .

Five minutes to eight , the doorbell rang Ill get it Joyce said .

She eagerly ran to open the door and then burst into laughter .

Its Mr.

Flynn Good morning.

Joyce , Josiah bent down , extended his anus to lift her , and glanced up as Sienna approached with a bag .

Sienna maintained a calm expression as she handed him the log .

These are Joyces : her water bottle , wet wipes ….

Ive also included a note detailing what she likes to eat , what she doesnt , and some of her little habits All right Josiah took the bag tucked it under his arm , and nodded .

Ill keep that in mind .

As he spoke , he observed her closely .

She appeared to be in good spirits and had been doing well these past few days .

Sienna didnt say anything more and gently caressed Joyces little face .

Have fun , Joyce .

Joyce lay on Josiahs shoulder and waved her hand .

Bye , Mommy Behave and listen to Mr.

Flynn, all right ? Sienna saw them out , waving with a smile .

Be careful and have fun ! Okay ! Joyce beamed .

As Josiah held Joyce , bitterness welled up in his heart .

Sienna didnt avoid him at all .

She was open and generous .

However , everything she said and did was for Joyce .

None of her words were meant for him .

He could still see her , but he was locked out of her world .

It was a proximity that felt both near and infinitely distant .

Back in the apartment , after seeing Josiah and Joyce off .

Sienna headed to the balcony , rolled up her sleeves , and got ready to do the laundry She planned to bake a blueberry cake in the afternoon for Joyce to enjoy when she returned in the evening .

Lately , she had been in a good mood .

Perhaps it was this positivity that led to the notice she received from Lucas yesterday .

Joyce would be admitted to the hospital in two weeks .

Conner had already reserved the ward and was simply waiting for the day to arrive , The worst was nearly over .

Sienna believed that once she overcame this hurdle , only good things would remain in her life .

At the Fischer residence , Conner was relishing the rare chance to sleep in on a weekend when a rapid knocking at the door jolted hun awake .

Who Conner , Conner ! His mother Tanias voice echoed through the door .

Conner , Im coming in Without waiting for his response , she pushed the door open , Morn ? Conner mumbled as he turned over and sat up in bed , groggy with his eyes barely open .

Whats going on ? Its so early .

Arent you supposed to be heading to the hospital ? Reyna was still in the hospital , so it would make sense for Tunia to have headed there by now .

Reyna las nurses to take care of her at the hospital , Tania replied .

She frowned at the dim room and walked over to open the curtains .

Sunlight streamed in .

Jeed Gummer shielded his eyes .

Moon , its too bright .

Too bright ? Tania scoffed .

If yo If you cant handle a little light , how could you bring yourself to hurt me like this ? What are you talking about ? Conner was momentarily stunned , then realized she was referring to Sienna .

His drowsiness faded slightly .

Mom .

Chapter 411 Sienna is Aunt Tiffanys daughter .

Shes both your stepdaughter and your niece .

How can Oh really ! you be so unkind to her ? Tania latched onto his words .

Then explain to me exactly how youve been kind to her .

You already know , Conner frowned .

I bought her a car … And Tania pressed .

Conner remained silent , refusing to speak .

Tania sneered .

Youre just avoiding the conversation .

Ever since the incident with Reyna , Tania had cornered Conner numerous times for questioning , but he never divulged anything .

Do you think I wouldnt find out if you kept quier ? Tanias lips curled into a smirk .

Her eyes were sharp .

Conner , you better come clean .

She unlocked her phone and tossed it at him .

Why have you been spending so much time at the hospital lately ? And why did you reserve wards in the hematology department for the middle of next month ? Who are they for ? Explain yourself ! Conner froze , instantly alert .

He picked up the phone and saw his recent bank statements .

Tania had been managing the Fischer family supermarket all these years , giving her control over the familys finances .

Even though she had been gradually transferring control to him , she could still easily access his accounts .

Conner knew he couldnt hide this He had already informed Sienna , and with the surgery date approaching , he no longer intended to keep it a secret .

Seeing the bank statements , Conner felt a sense of calm instead of panic .

He nodded and replied .

The wards are for me .

What ? Tania was taken aback , struggling to believe it .

Thats ridiculous .

Why would you need to stay in the hematology department when youre perfectly fine ? Conner sighed .

Mom , Im fine , but … Its Sienna , isnt it ? There was a flicker in Tanias eyes .

whats wrong with her ? Is she dying ? No.

Conner shook his head with a frown .

Its Siennas daughter , my niece , Joyce .

Her daughter … Tania was stunned .

She suddenly recalled that Reyna had mentioned Sienna having a daughter .

Her daughter is ill , with a blood disease .

Yes , Conner nodded .

He was about to explain when T yourself to the hospital ! Tania burst into laughter .

Her daughter is sick and dying .

What does it have to do with you ! Why would you admit Mom ! Conner shouted .

Tania wasnt completely unaware .

Most people could guess what a blood disease meant .

It was just unbelievable ..

Connor , dont tell me her daughter needs a bone marrow transplant or something , and youre going to donate to her .

After a brief moment of silence , Conner nodded with determination .

Yes , thats exactly what Im going to do , No … Tanias | jaw dropped in shock .

She looked Conner up and down , unsure of what to say .

Conner , have you gone mad from studying ? What does Siennas daughters life or death have to do with you ! Why would you donate your bone marrow to her ? Joyce
