Those men tried to take advantage of Sienna, but Alex arrived just in time and killed them. Sienna buried her face in Daniel’s chest. She was still trembling from the day’s events.
Daniel gently carried Sienna to the police car. As they passed the site of the explosion, she couldn’t help but notice the gruesome scene. Police officers and forensic experts were swarming the area. Once they were in the car, Daniel started driving her to the hospital.
Throughout the ride, Sienna’s mind kept replaying what had happened. “Daniel, Alex didn’t kill me. It didn’t seem like he was targeting you, either. What is he really after?”
Daniel’s expression turned grim. “He’s after Clement.”
“Clement?” Sienna gasped in shock. She thought for a moment, realizing that Clement must know too much. Alex couldn’t risk him falling into police hands and had to silence him.
“Yes, if we hadn’t brought Clement, they would’ve killed you. That’s why we took him with us. They launched a missile at us.
“Our colleagues were lucky enough to take cover in time and only got injured. But Clement was trapped in the car and couldn’t escape. He got blown up,” Daniel explained. Sienna leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. She tried to calm herself but couldn’t.
When they arrived at the hospital, Daniel carried Sienna into the emergency room. Although she didn’t feel seriously injured, he was worried and insisted on a full-body checkup. The examination revealed that she had several external injuries and a head injury. The most serious injury was to her abdomen, where she had been kicked.
Due to the uncertainty of her condition, the doctor decided to admit her for overnight observation.
Shortly after Sienna was settled into her ward, Shelly and Felix arrived.
Shelly was frantic. She burst into tears when she saw Sienna and hugged her tightly.
“Mom, I’m okay. Don’t worry,” Sienna said, hugging Shelly and gently patting her back to comfort her.
Felix also tried to reassure her. “Mom, Sienna is fine. The doctor said it was just some external injuries. If everything is okay, she’ll be discharged after a day of observation.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But Shelly couldn’t control herself. She clung to Sienna, crying as if she had lost her forever. She couldn’t stop or calm down.

Sienna had been abducted and hurt because of him. His pain and fear were just as intense as hers, but he felt he had no right to say anything since it was his fault.
Shelly cried for a long while. When she finally stopped, her eyes were red and puffy. Feeling devastated, she gently touched Sienna’s hand and asked softly, “Sienna, are you hungry?”
“Yes,” Sienna replied.
“I’ll get you something to eat. What do you want?” Shelly asked while wiping away her tears.
“Anything is fine. I’m not picky,” Sienna replied with a faint smile.
Shelly nodded and turned to Daniel. “Daniel, can you drive me?”
“Mrs. Lawson, you stay here with Sienna. I’ll go get it,” Daniel replied promptly.
Shelly walked slowly to the door and said as she passed him, “Let’s go together.”
Daniel patted Felix on the shoulder. “Take good care of Sienna. I’ll be back soon.” Felix agreed.
Daniel and Sienna shared a look. His eyes brimmed with affection.
Sienna smiled at him.
Daniel felt a sudden weight in his chest.
