Ethan froze and shook his head. "I don't know..."

"You don't know?" Andy was furious.

His son was in this state because of her, and that woman hadn't even shown up.

"Tie her up and bring her here! If anything happened to Edgar, Sienna would have to pay for it!"

"I got it. Mr. Evans."

"Ouch!" Sienna accidentally cut her finger while peeling an apple for Joyce, and blood gushed out.

"Oh, my!" Tara, who was beside her, saw it and quickly handed her a tissue. "What are you thinking about? Are you peeling the apple or yourself? Quick. Go to the nurses' station and let the nurse take care of it."

"Okay." Sienna nodded absentmindedly, covered her bleeding finger with a tissue, got up, and went out.

As soon as she came out, somebody barged through the door.

Ethan had arrived with his men.

Sienna had met Ethan before. Her heart sank, and the cut on her finger seemed to throb with pain.

'Mr. Brown is here. Has something bad happened to Josiah?' she wondered.

"Just in time..." Ethan said, restraining himself. He stretched out his arm. "For Mr.

Edgar Evans' sake, I won't use force. Please come with me..."

Sienna frowned but did not resist. She said nothing and walked ahead.

Josiah had been transferred from the emergency department to the internal medicine VIP building.

"Please," Ethan said, standing at the door of the ward. He opened the door and pushed Sienna inside.

Sienna staggered, almost falling. She frowned, steadied herself, and stood firm.

In the living room, Andy sat upright on the couch, looking up. His cold gaze fixed on her.

He lifted a finger, commanding his men, "Tie her up."

"Okay. Mr. Evans."

Sienna's heart skipped a beat.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, ropes in hand.

They moved around her, binding her upper body.

"What are you doing?" Sienna exclaimed in shock, but her struggles proved futile.

She glared at Andy. "Let me go! You have no right to do this!"

Andy ignored her words. Staring at her, he pointed inside. "Are you heartless? Look. Look closely."

Through a large glass wall, Sienna looked in the direction he indicated. Inside, Josiah lay in bed, with a nurse keeping watch by his side.
