Chapter b379 /b

    “Sienna, I’m starving. I’ve been on a ne for more than ten hours,” Thorn whined, looking at Sienna with big puppy dog eyes.

    Sienna let out a helpless sigh and nced at Elisa, who finally served him a bowl of rice.

    *Sienna, try this. We have sweet and sour fish tonight,” Julian said, picking up a piece and putting it on her te.

    He served Sienna without even ncing at Thorn, treating him like he was invisible.

    Thorn couldn’t care less about being ignored. He just dug in, genuinely starving. The food was actually amazing he thoughtb. /b

    He scarfed down three whole bowls of rice and still wanted more.

    He picked up a few stray grains of rice from the table and popped them into his mouth. “Is bthere /bany more rice? Give me another bowl

    Finally, after stuffing himself, Thorn flopped down on the couch. “Sienna, you have no idea. The doctor said I was this close to dying

    At those words, Sienna, who was sitting at the table, paused mid–movement.

    She didn’t reply.

    “Sienna, guess I’m just lucky to be alive, right?” Thorn said, fishing for ba /bresponse.

    But she still didn’t respond.

    Thorn didn’t get upset at all. He just kept rambling on, totally unfazed, while it was actually bJulian /bwho ended up listening to

    him.

    Thorn stuck around reallyte before finally heading out. Honestly, if Julian hadn’t left first, he probably would’ve just crashed there till morning

    “Hey, Julian, stop right there!” Thorn called out.

    Julian stopped and turned to look at him.

    “I know you’ve been staying here these bdays/b, Thorn said.

    Yeah, Julian replied.

    “Can you talk to her? See if she’ll let me stay here too?” Thorn asked..

    Julian frowned, his voice icy. “Thorn”

    Thorn shrugged. “bRx/b, I was just joking. But hey, I’m not giving up that easy

    The bnext /bbday/b, Sienna bgot /binvited to a bbusiness /bevent. And by the time it wrapped up, dusk had already fallen.

    She had on a pair of ts, but for some breason/bb, /bshe’d been feeling really worn outtely.

    b“/bSienna! You hit my mom, didn’t byou/bb? /bHow could you!” a girl yelled.

    A girl in a purple dress with bshort /bhair and narrow beyes /brushed over, clearly about to shove Sienna.

    “Miss Sienna Lana had gone to get the car, and in bthat /bsplit second she bwasn’t /bwatching. Tanya Duncan suddenly charged at Sienna.

    Sienna was just about to dodge, but her vision went ck and she started to copse backward.

    Thom dashed over at lightning speed, catching Sienna right before she could hit the floor.

    Taniya froze, totally bfreaking /bout, her face pale bas /ba ghost. She waved her hands frantically, shaking her head. “It wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything I didn’t even touch her

    “bOh/b, I see bwhat’s /bgoing on. You’re pulling ba /bscamt Trying to y the victim, huh?” Tanya shouted.

    Thorn shot Tanya a deadly re. “If anything happens to her, I swear I’ll feed you to the fish”

    Tanya’s face went even paler, and she started shaking like a leaf.

    “No, it wasn’t me!” she cried out,

    “Somebody must’ve seen what happened. I swearb, /bI didn’t even touch her. Tanya insisted.

    Tanya nced around, but everyone she looked at quickly turned away and hurried off.

    “Hey, wait. You guys have to back me up!” she called after themb. /b

    “Don’t go.

    Weren’t you all supposed to be helpful and friendly? That’s so cold!” she yelled.

    Thorn scooped Sienna up and carried her to the car.

    “bArrest /bher,” Lana ordered coldly.

    Yes.

    “No, don’t arrest me.

    Please, don’t” Tanya shouted, protesting her innocence as she was dragged away,

    She was close to tears, but not a single tear woulde.

    If I’d known, I never would’vee back. Who knew scam artists were everywhere here? Varis is just full of bshady /btricks, Tanya thought

    Doctor! Doctor, hurry! You have to save her.” Thorn shouted, his voice echoing through the hospital corridor.

    He burst into the hospital, carrying Sienna in his arms, panic written all over his bface/b.

    “Sir, please calm down and let us take care of her,” the doctor said, trying to steady him.

    Thom n was a nervous wreck, his hands trembling so badly he could barely let go.

    “You have to save her,” he pleadedb, /bhis voice cracking with fear.

    Sienna, please be okay, Thom thought anxiously.
