This must be part of her scheme Listen , I said get up right now , Josiah commanded , but Sienna remained unresponsive .

In a moment of urgency , he scooped Sienna up and rushed to his car , speeding to the nearest hospital .

How could I know ? The doctor didnt press for more details but advised , Menstrual cramps can be quite severe , particularly in her situation .
