If this kept up, who knew what could happen? Rosie knocked urgently on the neighboring door despite the late hour. “Ms. Scott, Sienna’s in really bad pain. We need to do something”

Brenda was up in an instant. “This serious?” she asked, already heading next door

Sienna could barely speak through the pain. “M–Mc”

“Shh, don’t talk,” Brenda said with a

a wave of her hand, turning to Rosic. “Have you called the front desk?”

“I did,” Rosie replied, “but they can’t help.”

“No, we can’t just wait here,” Brenda said firmly. “Even if the roads are closed, we have to get her to the hospital.

She instructed Rosie. “Help Sienna change her clothes. I’ll get Mark from logistics to bring the car and find someone to carry her. They’ll let us through if we explain it’s an emergency”

“Got it. Ms. Scout, Rosie said.

Brenda left, and Rosie quickly helped Sienna into clean clothes.

Soon Brenda returned and asked, “Is she ready?”

“Yeah,” Rosie replied.

Brenda motioned to the young mais from logistics. “Can you carry Sienna? She can’t walk.”

“Sure, Ms. Scott,” he said, With Rosie’s help, he lifted Sienna onto his back.

Sienna winced, the position pressing against her stomach.

“Just hold on, Sienna Brenda reassured her. “We’ll get you in the car soon. Y

You’ll be fine

They made their way to the door, where Mark was waiting with the ear. But the storm was fierce, and he wiped his wet face and hesitated. “Ms. Scott, driving in this is risky”

Brenda frowned. She knew the risks, but she couldn’t leave Sienna

The young man carrying Sienna voiced his concern. “If something goes wrong, we’ll be in trouble, and we won’t get any compensation.”

Their worries were valid, visibility was barely fifly m

Seeing Brenda in a dilemma, Rosie got anxious too and called Brenda, “Ms. Scott?”

As they stood there, a loud roar echoed overhead. It had been there for a while, but the storm had drowned it out. Now, as they looked up, they saw something descending. The roar was from it.

“A helicopter!” Rosie exclaimed, her voice singed with surprise.

Everyone froze, bewildered by the unexpected sight.

The helicopter touched down in the center

Josiah immediately spotted Sienna slumped over a logistics guy, her eyes closed, clearly in pain.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly strode over. Without any chat, he held out his arms and said shortly, “Let me hold her.”

Brenda was taken aback. She didn’t know he’d find out and hadn’t expected him to show up. But there was no time for questions. She urged the young man, “Hurry up, will you?”

“Yes,” the man replied.

Josiah took Sienna from the young man’s arms, cradling her in his arms. As the pressure on her stomach eased. Sienna instinctively found a more comfortable position.

Zach quickly stepped up, holding a tarp to shield her from the wind and rain.

Time was of the essence. They worked together seamlessly, without a word, getting Sienna onto the helicopter. The door closed behind them.

Josiah had flown them there, but now, holding Sienna, he couldn’t manage the controls.

“I’ll take the controls,” Zach said.

“Thanks,” Josiah replied, his focus on Sienna.

The helicopter lifted off again, heading towards the city. Josiah gently brushed the sweat–soaked hair from Sienna’s face and whispered, “We’ll be at the hospital soon”

this typhoon night, even the emergency room was eerily quiet. Suddenly, the automatic glass doors slid open.

“Doctor, quickly!” Zach shouted.

“Nurses“” he added.

There came the response. “Okay, right on the way

“Get her to the emergency room Call the doctor, someone instructed.

Meanwhile, Cedric was stuck in traffic, and the police officer wasn’t letting anyone pass. He was trying to use his connections to find a way through.

While he waited, he couldn’t stop worrying about Sienna. His number was blocked, so he got a new one and called her. The phone rang for a bit before someone picked up

“Sienna,” Cedric said, his voice tense. “How are you? Is the pain really bad? Have you ever

But there came a strange female voice. It was Rosie, who didn’t recognize the number. “Um Are you a friend of Sienna’s She left her phone in the

“Where is she now? Cedric asked, his concem growing.

“She’s already been taken to the hospital, Rosie said, recalling what Brenda had mentioned. “They sent her to Harwood Hospital”

“Okay. Thanks” Cedric said, getting back into his car and speeding off to Harbwood Hospital

Rosie, holding the phone, murmured to herself, “Who was that?”

She also didn’t know who had

At the hospital, Sienna was recovering in a private room, booked up to an IV after her time in the ER

The nurse finished her injection and glanced at Josiah “She’s stable now. With this storm outside, you’re already here in time.” “Thanks,” Josiah said, nodding

“No problem just holler if you need anything” the nurse re

replied.

“Will do.” Josiah said.

He sat by Sienna’s side, watching her sleep. His heart finally slowed down. “God. You had me worried,” he murmured.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Zach walked in “Mr. Flynn,” he said.

Josiah got it, stood up, and looked at Sienna Tll be back in a bit, he whispered to her.

Of course, Sienna, deep in her sleep, couldn’t respond to him.

He stepped into the hallway, where Zach was waiting “What’s up?” Josiah asked, hands in his pockets.

Actually, Zach got Josiah’s order and went to look into what caused Sienna’s stomachache–for no particular reason. Josiah just wanted to know why

But unexpectedly, Zach did find something. He said. “Sienna and her roommate, Rosie exchanged their food, but everyone including them had the same meal from the hotel

“Then only Sienna got sick!” Josiah wondered aloud.

“Yes. There’s this girl, Nina, who gave her a glass of juice. Zach explained. “Nina’s been giving Sienna a hard time lately”

Josiah’s expression darkened. “So, she messed with the juice,” he said, more as a s
