Hmm Confused .

Andy lifted his gaze , and the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smirk .

So quiet today ? Every time Josiah was here , he made a commotion .

There was no trace of amusement on his face .

He hadnt gone there to exchange pleasantries .

Once you step in , theres no turning back .

After a brief pause , his voice deepened .

There were more lests to be done .

Sienna camed Joyce in her arms as they followed a nurse through the corridors of the treatment building Mommy Joyer asked with confusion .

Wheres Mr.

Josiah is busy today .

He cant be with us , Joyce , but Im here , okay ? Oh .

Joyce poured in disappointment .

Yesterday , Mr.

Flynn said hed stay with me for the next few days .

She thought , Mr.

Flynn broke his promise .

Jover blinked her round eyes .

What about Uncle Conner ! Doesnt he need to do his checkups too ? That question was like a knife , stabbing deep into Siennas already wounded heart .

Your Uncle Conner .

Sienna fought to keep her voice steady , to hold herself together in front of Joyce .

He has finished his tests and doesnt need any more today , she replied .

Oh , okay Joyce nodded enviously .

Thats nice .

Be good Joyce Sienna carried Joyce into the examination room .

Just two more tests to go , and were done .

Okay , Joyce chirped obediently .

By midday , Joyce had completed all her tests .

After lunch , she drifted into a peaceful nap , with Tara keeping watch by her bedside .

Meanwhile , Sienna changed into fresh clothes , slung her bag over her shoulder , and quietly left the inpatient building .

Larry had yet to call her , and she couldnt just sit around waiting for news After leaving the hospital , Sienna headed straight for the Fischer residence .

Unlike the night before , she did not barge in recklessly .

She understood now begging them wouldnt work .

Tania would never yield .

At the gates of the Fischer residence , Sienna waited silently in the shadows .

A single thought burned in her mind if Tania had hidden Conner , there was a chance she would visit him t Even if the odds were a mere one in ten thousand , there was still hope as long as Sienna followed Tania Afraid of being discovered , Sienna had not driven .

Instead , she stood under the cover of her umbrella .

Finally , after an hour of patient waiting the courtyard gate creaked open , and Tania stepped out .

At 6pm .

Cedric stopped by the hospital after work , as usual , to check in .

To his surprise , Sienna was nowhere to be seen .

Wheres Sienna ? he Well Tara hesitated , glancing toward the room where Joyce was watching a cartoon .

Lowering her voice , she quickly recounted what had stunned .

Coinc could not believe such a thing had happened .

He couldnt imagine how devastated Sienna must be right now .

Where did she go ? Lara knew the answer as Sienna had inforward her before she left .

She went to the Fischer residence , she said .

Do you have the arkim Codne asked .

Yes , Tata replied .

Tell me , Gedne d demanded .

Cedric took the address and hurried to the Fischer residence .

No sooner had he left than Josiah arrived .

Josiah asked the same question when he failed to see Sienna .

Tara let out a long sigh and gave him the same answer .

I see .

Josiah turned and left without a moments delay .

Take good care of Joyce Uh , Mr.

Flynn Tara was surprised that Josiah had left so quickly .

She didnt even have time to tell him that Cedric had already gone ahead .

When Josiah arrived at the Fischer residence , he found neither Sienna nor Cedric .

He pulled out his phone and was just about to call Sienna when he spotted a car approaching , Swiftly , he stepped aside , concealing himself in the shadows .

The gates of the Fischer dence swung open , allowing the vehicle to glide inside .

A moment later , through the downpour , Sienna came rushing in her breath ragged , an umbrella clutched in her hand as she ran toward the entrance .
