But she kept that to herself just shaking her head instead .

She figured any excuse would fall on deaf ears he didnt like her , so in his eyes , everything she did was a mess up .

Feeling uncomfortable , she cut to the chase .

What brings you here ? She had thought she didnt want anything to do with her .

Imph , like I had a choice , Josiah sneered , his icy gaze making is distaste crystal clear , Grandma insisted I come and make sure you get on that plane .

Siennas heart sank .

What am I even expecting ? Wheres your stuff ? Upstairs ? Josiah asked , his impatience was palpable .

Every extra second in Siennas presence felt like a punishment for him .

Sienna nodded , then shook her head .

Its up there , but I havent finished packing .

She had intended to pack last night after coming back , but she felt unwell and ended up falling asleep .

What ? Josiahs expression turned even grimmer .

Youve been doing nothing all day and cant even get your bags ready ? As he saw Sienna standing there blankly , anger flared up in him was she trying to drag this out ? He then urged sharply , What are you waiting for ? Go get your stuff packed ! Okay .

Sienna nodded in a daze and hurried upstairs .

But just those few steps had her breaking into a cold sweat.

Something didnt feel right , and she raised her hand to her forehead .

It was burning hot , and even her breath felt like fire .

She finally realized that she seemed to have caught a fever after getting / drenched in the rain yesterday .

She hurried to her room to grab some cold medicine .

The decision on what to do about the baby was still up in the air But as long as it was in her belly , she had to take care of it every day .

Just then , her stomach churned .

She clamped a hand over her mouth and sprinted for the bathroom , hugging the toilet as she heaved violently .

When it passed , she felt utterly wiped out .

She turned on the tap , rinsed her mouth , and splashed some cold water on her face , hoping to cool the fever that was cooking her alive .
