She hadnt meant for this to happen .

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 .

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 .
