Chapter 66
But suddenly , lights came on all around , causing both of them to shut their eyes tight
“ The power’s back on ! ” Sienna exclaimed joyfully , opening her eyes first .
But then she froze , Josiah’s handsome face was right there , just inches away , his thin lips almost touching hers
She thought Josiah was going to kiss her .
Sienna was covered in a cold sweat .
But soon she realized that it was impossible because Josiah hated her .
It must have been because it was so dark before , and he couldn’t see
“ U ” Sienna whispered softly to remind him , “ The power’s back on ”
“ Oh , ” Josiah’s face stayed emotionless , but inside , he was a whirlwind of emotions .
He had almost kissed Sienna .
He didn’t know why he would find her attractive and even wanted to kiss her .
Josial pretended to be calm , released Sienna , and stood up , speaking in a lazy , indifferent tone , “ Since everything’s fine .
I’ll be going ”
“Okay , sure ,” Sienna stood up and walked with him to the door .
“ Be careful on your way ”
“ Alright , ” Josiah turned and walked away without looking back .
When he reached downstairs , he quickly looked back at Sienna’s lil window .
His long eyelashes hid his thoughts
The next day .
Josiah went to visit his brother , Howard .
He had received a call from the doctor urging him to come , and he was the only one who made it this time , as Yvette was out of town for a shoot .
“ Mr.
Flynn , The doctor responsible for Howard began , indicating there was something important to discuss .
“ What’s going on ? Just tell me straight , Josiah furrowed his brow , worried that something might be wrong with Howard .
“ Mr.
Flynn , The doctor smiled reassuringly , “ Don’t worry , it’s not bad news .
There is a new type of medication abroad specifically for your brother’s condition .
“ Oh ? ” Josiah’s eyes lit up with interest .
“ Tell me more about it ,
“ Here’s the situation .
” The drug was independently developed by a hospital abroad and had already been used in clinical practice .
There were even successful instances of people waking from commas that had lasted for years .
The doctor continued , “ Even though Howard has been in a coma for many years , his physical functions are well – maintained .
I believe we could try this medication , as there is a chance of success .
The thing was , this medication wasn’t available worldwide , nor was it mass – produced .
So , buying it required not only a large amount of money but also finding the right channels .
But the Flynn family was different .
While a small – town doctor like him couldn’t find a way , it didn’t mean the Flynn family couldn’t
“ Mr.
Flynn , do you think you could find a way to get this medication ? ”
Josiah nodded .
“ Alright , I’ll find a way .
No matter how difficult it was to get the medication , he would try everything to get it for Howard .
He wanted to wake Howard up and help him get off that bed he’d been lying on for years .
He thought for a moment and instructed the doctor , “ Please , don’t mention this to Grandma and Yvette just yet .
“ Okay .
The doctor understood perfectly what he meant .
Even though there had been cases where the medicing worked , it wasn’t a sure thing .
Over the years , they’d faced disappointment tine and again .
Before Howard woke up , Josiah wanted to handle this pressure on his own .
If Howard woke up, then everyone would be happy .
If Howard still didn’t wake up , then the disappointment and sorrow would be his to bear alone .
After the surgery .
Miranda’s recovery was going well .
In the past few days , she was preparing to leave the hospital .
The next step was to focus on recuperation .
With the Flynn family’s resources , the environment at home was naturally better than any rehab center .
On the day of her discharge , Sienna was there ,
“ Sienna , ” Miranda joyfully held her hand .
“ You’re always so good , being the first to arrive
Just then , Josiah pushed open the door and saw Sienna .
His eyes lit up involuntarily , and he spoke with a touch of unplanned joy , raising an eyebrow , “ Grandma , are you saying any effort in staying the past few nights counted for nothing !”

Chapter 66
“ Stop fishing for compliments ,” Miranda patted Sienna’s hand .
“ Our Sienna is so obedient and considerate , while you’re just standing here like a log .
How can it be the same ? ”
“ Hmph , ” Josiah chuckled , “ Fine , your Sienna is the best .
”
“ Oh right , ” Miranda pulled Sienna closer and spoke seriously , “ Sienna , for the next few days , stay at our house with me .
Her tone was purely declarative , almost like an order , leaving no room for discussion
Sienna was taken aback and hesitated “ Grandma , it doesn’t seem appropriate , does it ? Considering her current relationship with Josiah , moving into the Flynn residence didn’t seem proper .
“ What’s inappropriate about it ? ” Miranda gave her a playful glare .
“ Just because you and Josiah couldn’t become a couple , does it mean you .
shouldn’t call me Grandma anymore ? ”
“ Of course not , Sienna immediately shook her head .
Then that’s settled , right ? ” Miranda laughed .
“ To me , you’ll always be my granddaughter .
I just got out of the hospital .
Can’t you stay with me for a few days ? ”
At this point , Sienna found it hard to refuse .
Josiah chimed in from the side .
“ Sienna just say yes .
Yvette isn’t around in Jeiacrity these days , and Grandma has no one to talk to ..
There was no point in refusing any more .
Sienna had to agree , “ Alright , I’ll come over and stay with Grandma for a few days .
“ Great Miranda was delighted , patting her hand and gently smoothing her hair .
“ You’re such a good kid
Since she was going to stay for a few days , Sienna needed to go back to 12th Avenue to pack some things .
Miranda instructed Josial to accompany her and bring her back .
In fact , Josiah was already planning to do just that
Back on 12th Avenue , Sienna gathered her things and got into the car heading to the Flynn residence .
On the way .
Sienna remembered something and turned to Josiah , “ By the way , when is Yvette coming back ! ”
“ I’ll be a few more days .
Why do you ask ! ”
“ Oh .
Sienna nodded and said , “ If she comes back , could you let me know ahead of time
“ Hmm ” Josiah was a bit surprised and didn’t quite get it “ Why ?
was surprised that he didn’t understand .
“ Of course I’m leaving .
She doesn’t want to see me .
You know she can’t stand being under the same
Sienna
roof as me
Hearing this , Josiah was taken aback , tightening his grip on the steering wheel .
With a slight laugh , he said , “ You’re overthinking it Yvette isn’t that petty .
She’s forgotten about the past .”
Sienna smiled faintly and shook her head imperceptibly .
Then think of it this way , maybe I’m too embarrassed to face her .”
Upon hearing this , Josiah was momentarily speechless .
Those were his very own words to her once , so he couldn’t even argue .
That night , Sienna stayed over at the Flynn residence .
After dinner , Miranda asked Josiah to stay for a chat .
“ Grandma , do you need something ? ”
“ Yes ” Miranda took a sip of her coffee .
“ Do you know why I wanted Sienna to stay with us ? ”
Josiah raised an eyebrow .
“ Didn’t you say you wanted her to keep you company ? ”
“ You ” Miranda paused , chuckled helplessly , and shook her head .
With a sigh , she said .
“ Never mind .
I’ve come to terms with it .
You really just don’t like Sienna , and I’ve accepted that
Josiah was surprised .
“ What did I do ? ” He didn’t know why it would always come back to him not liking Sienna .
Miranda glared at him .
“ Even if you’re not husband and wife , you grew up together and share a bond .
As her brother , you can’t even remember her birthday ! If Howard were here , he would definitely remember .
Josiah was surprised that Sienna’s birthday was coming up soon .
Miranda continued , “ I’m planning to throw her a proper birthday party , and then I’ll find her a good match
