Chapter 382

"Josiah? If you don't say anything, I'm coming in!" After receiving no response for so long, Howard anxiously pushed the door open to enter.

The bathroom door swung open, and Josiah stood, dripping wet from the top, with water still dripping from his hair.

That wasn't all. Josiah's face was as pale as paper and seemed completely out of mind, moving like a ghost.

Howard thought, 'What's going on?' He wasn't sure what had happened, but he had learned from the nurse that Sienna had visited.

Howard thought, 'It must have something to do with Sienna. Seeing Josiah like this, had they gotten into another argument? And a serious one?'

Howard let out an almost inaudible sigh. "Josiah." He wanted to comfort Josiah, but he wasn't good with words.

Josiah forced a smile that looked more like he was about to cry. "Howard, you're here?"

"Yeah." Howard nodded, full of concern for Josiah. "Your clothes are soaked; go change into something dry. We have treatment later."

"Sure, Howard." Josiah's smile grew wider, but it was even more heartbreaking. Howard couldn't bear to look and instructed the caregiver, "Support Mr. Flynn." "Yes," the caregiver replied.

As Josiah went to change, Howard turned around, picked up his phone, and called Yvette. "Josiah has been found."

Howard's intent was to keep it from Yvette, hoping Sienna and Josiah could spend more time together. But now, things had soured between them. Maybe having someone else around Josiah would help.

After the call, Josiah changed his clothes and came out. The caregiver helped him lie down on the hospital bed.

A nurse came over to administer treatment and noticed his hand was bleeding. "Mr. Flynn's hand needs bandaging."

Howard hadn't noticed until the nurse mentioned it. He leaned closer and saw Josiah's hands covered in cuts and bruises, likely from smashing things earlier.

"Thank you," Howard replied.

"It's my duty," the nurse said as she fetched supplies. She cleaned Josiah's wound, applied medication, and bandaged it.
