Chapter 21 What ? The courthouse is closed Sienna was stunned .
She hadnt meant for this to happen .
After walking a long way without getting a ride , she finally reached downtown , but it was too late .
Suddenly , everything blurred .
Sienna shook her head , but it was to use .
Her eyes closed , and she fell straight towards Josiah Hey ! Josiah was taken aback , and instinctively , he caught her Sienna Shaw ! he bellowed , his teeth clenched .
Didnt the say to keep her distance ? Now shes all over me ? Same old Sienna .
never changes .
This must be part of her scheme Listen , I said get up right now , Josiah commanded , but Sienna remained unresponsive .
Frowning , he peered down at her Sienna Hey ! Wake up ! However , she still didnt react at all .
If you dont stop this , Im going to touch you .
He lifted his hand to pull her away , only to realize she wasnt faking it .
Her face was as pale as a ghost she had passed out .
Whats wrong with you ? Josiah asked , panic setting in .
In a moment of urgency , he scooped Sienna up and rushed to his car , speeding to the nearest hospital .
In the emergency cy room , Josiah looked at the doctor with a mix of anxiety and concern .
Whats her condition ? Severe menstrual cramps , the doctor said after examining Sienna and tapping away at the medical records .
This is pretty her cramps common for women , but her case is quite serious .
Shes young : why are this intense ? Josiah fell silent .
How could I know ? The doctor didnt press for more details but advised , Menstrual cramps can be quite severe , particularly in her situation .
Once she comes to , ensure she gets a comprehensive check up to figure out whats really going on .
Got it , Josiah replied , frowning as he processed this news The doctor added , Ive prescribed some medicine .
You can go ahead and get it filled .
Okay , Josiah said , taking the prescription slip and getting to his feet .
He made his way to pay for the medicine , racking his brain to remember if Sienna had ever complained about bad cramps .
But he came up blank .
All he could recall was how she used to always lean on him for support .
In the ER .
Sienna was just coming to .
She pushed herself up in bed , got dressed , slung her bag over her shoulder as she tried to leave .
A nurse quickly stopped her .
Where are you going ? Your boyfriend went to get your medicine .
You should wait for him to come back Sienna paused , her thoughts racing .
Boyfriend ? Was that Josiah I was with him right before everything went black .
But would he really be nice enough to bring me to the hospital ? Anyway , it doesnt matter But not wanting to cause any trouble for the nurse , she replied , Thanks , I understand .
Ill just wait for him outside .
Alright then The nurse didnt press further and walked away .
Sienna slipped her bag over her shoulder , covered her stomach , and headed out of the hospital .
22:21 Sat , Jan 4G U Chapter 21 Meanwhile , Josiah had just picked up the medicine and was on his way back when his phone rang .
Hey , Grandma , he answered .
Mirandas voice was thick with sleep .
I just remembered something .
Todays the anniversary of Fionas passing .
We should go pay our respects .
But my memorys been playing tricks on me lately .
So , Josiah , make sure you take some time to go with Sienna .
That poor girl hasnt been able to visit Fiona in four years ? Josiah was taken aback , a sense of unease settling over him .
Wait , what ? Wheres Fiona buried ? Miranda shook her head .
Havent you been there before ? Dont you remember ? Its at Bacchus Bridge .
Im already aware today , the overpass near Bacchus Bridge collapsed , and the fire clearing the area .
department is still bus Josiah closed his eyes , his face etched with frustration .
So , Sienna wasnt lying ; she really did get stuck at Bacchus Bridge today .
But how did she end up at the courthouse ? He recalled his own words , Crawl your way here if you have to and how she had been soaked and covered in mud .
He couldnt help but wonder if she had actually crawled all the way there .
Instantly .
Josiahs grip on the steering wheel tightened , his jaw clenching .
He didnt like Sienna , but he never intended to bully her like that 22:21 Sat , Jan 4 Chapter 21 He floored the gas pedal , racing back towards Silver Beach .
When he got there , he noticed the living room lamp was on , and he quickly rushed inside .
The sofa is empty .
Sienna still isnt back ? Where could she be ? he thought .
Just then , he heard footsteps and looked up .
Sienna emerged from the bathroom , changed and freshly showered .
Sienna was back , and that was a relief , but it didnt make him look better .
Sienna , you cant just take off without saying a word .
Do you think its funny to have me searching for you everywhere ? he snapped .
Sienna ignored him , too drained to argue .
Search for me everywhere ? How absurd ! Its more like he wouldnt even bother to look my way even if Im standing right in front of him .
She made her way straight to the sofa , spread out a blanket , and lay down , turning her back to him .
She had a performance at nine that evening and needed to get some rest .
