Josiah knew why she was calling and didnt want to argue .

Grandma , were on our way back , almost home .

Really ? Miranda scoffed .

Then let me talk to Sienna .

Well … Josiah hesitated .

I knew it ! You cant do it , can you ? Because youre not with Sier at all , Miranda stated bluntly , followed by a sigh .

Ive been trying to reach Sienna , but shes not answering .

Did you let her leave by herself ? Grandma , Josiah muttered .

Ive left her alone for four years , just like you wanted .

Cant you work with me on this ? Im about to go into surgery .

You dont want me to have regrets , do you ? Mirandas voice was tense , her words carrying an urgent plea .

Grandma , what are you talking about ? She just left a moment ago .

Ill go after her now , okay ? Josiah reassured her , deciding to play along for the moment .

Miranda quickly replied .

Alright .

When you two get home , call me together .

Okay .

Josiah had no choice but to agree .

After hanging up , he shrugged at Yvette .

I have to go .

Okay , Miranda is kind hearted ; you should go .

Ill be fine .

Yvette , sitting beside him , had heard the whole conversation .

She looked out the window and added , This area is really remote .
