Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 406

"Ugh," Sienna clutched her head in pain, her emotions spiraling out of control.

The door was pushed open and Conner rushed in. Both of them approached her with quick steps.

Conner asked, "What are you doing here?"

Cedric replied, "What did you say to Sienna? Why is she acting like this?"

"Sienna," Cedric sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged her. "It's me, it's Cedric. I told him to leave. He's gone now."

"You're still not leaving?" Conner said, not bothering to hide his disgust for Josiah. "Sienna doesn't want to see you."

Josiah pursed his lips, clenching his jaw. He glanced at Sienna, then suddenly turned around,

The ward door closed behind him, and Josiah squeezed his eyes shut.

It turned out Sienna was unwilling to even meet Josiah...but while she could

ignore him, that doesn't mean he could just ignore her.

Josiah looked at Gilbert, frowning. "Mr. Hardin, I need to discuss something with you..."

"Go ahead," Mr Hardin replied.

"There's no surveillance footage, but what about a witness?" Josiah asked.

"A witness?" Gilbert froze. "Where would we find a witness?"

Josiah curved his lips upwards, "If I say there is one, then there is one."

"This..." Gilbert was taken aback before it dawned on him. "You mean..."

"

"Why are you so surprised?" Josiah gave him a sideways glance. "Gilbert, you didn't come this far in your career without using some tricks of your own, right?" Gilbert couldn't refute that. Still, he was curious. "You trust her that much? She and Reyna fought; she might have pushed her..."

"If she says she didn't, then she didn't," Josiah interrupted him impatiently. "I'll take care of it. If anything goes wrong, just pretend you know nothing. It's on me."

"Don't be too hasty. If it doesn't work out, you'll be charged with obstruction of justice. It might be tricky, but we won't lose this case..." Gilbert said.

"I can't wait any longer," Josiah said firmly.

"Sienna is scared out of her mind. Besides, I promised Joyce that her Sienna would be home by tomorrow..." he continued.
