Chapter 208 – His Second Chance Love: The Freezing Silence

I looked at him quietly because I was conscious he was infuriated by my careless acts. He refused to talk to me the moment we made our way to the hospital. However, he urged the doctor to keep an eye on me over and over again as he was afraid something bad might happen to me.

Suddenly, the nurse switched on the light because it was about time to change the bag of saline solution, but she noticed something seemed to be off and made her way out since it wouldn’t be necessary to change it yet.

I noticed his wrinkled blazer once the light was switched on. Anthony had a relatively haggard look while his eyes were bloodshot. Although he had chapped lips, it didn’t impact his ethereal-looking face at all.

I thought he wouldn’t break the silence should I keep quiet throughout the night, but he initiated a conversation and asked, “Aren’t you going to talk about it?”

To be honest, I couldn’t be sure of the things to talk about because all sorts of things flashed through my mind, including the part where his participation was all part of my intended plan.

Although he didn’t expose me, I knew he had figured it out after he rendezvoused with John and Louis to rescue me.

I gave it another thought and put on a pitiable front in response because I thought he would feel better after teaching me another lesson as he had always done.

Anthony got infuriated and had his abysmal pair of eyes glued to me when he noticed my response. “How could you get yourself involved because of a jerk? Is it worth it?”

He was worried about my condition because I was bruised all over my body. Therefore, he asked in a serious tone to express his concerns.

Thus, of course, I replied with a miserable look in an aggrieved tone, “I-It hurts…”

I wasn’t lying. It was like nothing I had ever felt throughout my entire life because Felix went all out and strangled me as though he wanted me dead. Thankfully, I managed to make it out alive.

Upon that, Anthony sneered sarcastically, “Oh? Does that mean you can feel the pain?”

I pursed my lips and played along with him because I was aware of his frustration. “I didn’t expect him to be such an aggressive man either! At first, I thought you guys would rush to my rescue after a few punches, but it turned out to be slightly off track at the end.”

“Are you blaming us for not being there for you?”

I shook my head and asserted, “No! I’m grateful to have everyone there in the nick of time!”

Just then, he recalled something and asked solemnly, “Why is Savini in the room when you’re there to avenge Stacey?

I was surprised by Savini’s response as well. But when I thought about it, I reckoned Stacey was the one who had lured him over, but the cunning man knocked himself to the wall. Thus, he managed to make it seemed as if he were there to rescue me.

I didn’t have the evidence that he was the one who had abducted me previously. So they might not believe me even if I brought it up in front of the rest. Upon that thought, I decided to keep everything to myself.

“I’m not sure, but he seems to be a close acquaintance of Felix and has dropped by to meet him.”

However, Anthony, knew that I was holding something back. Then, he glared at me and warned me, “Sienna, tell me the truth!”

Raising my chin against my will, a dangerous glint could be seen in his eyes. “Are you sure you have never seen him before?”

I nodded and assured, “What makes you think I have?”

“Are you telling me Savini, who’s the vice president of a technology company in A City, has shown up in the hotel because he was there to rescue you? Have you always perceived me as a fool? Why would such an influential corporate figure sacrifice himself to protect someone he isn’t affiliated with?”

I was baffled because I didn’t expect Cameron to be affiliated with another influential figure from A City. Frankly, I was shocked by Savini’s actual identity.

“Are you going to believe me if I tell you he’s an accomplice of Felix?” I asked as I looked at Anthony.

Frowning, Anthony queried, “Did he deliberately hurt himself?”

I acknowledged his words with a nod and said, “The cunning man started hurting himself once he noticed that the cops were near.”

“Did he know you before this?” I furrowed my brows when I heard his question because he had brought up the topic I wished to avoid the most.

A few seconds later, I told him the truth, “Rylee used to send him to abduct me.”

“When?”

“It was during the period when I had just taken over AC Credit and HiTech…”

Anthony frowned once again. He rebuked my statement with a determined look, “It’s impossible… Rylee couldn’t be the one behind it…”

I chuckled at his response, but I felt dejected deep down. “I know Rylee still holds a special place in your heart…”

Immediately, his face loomed with a gloomy expression as he stated, “It would be impossible for her to utilize Cameron’s subordinate because she had just reunited with them back then.”

“Ha! You’re right because I don’t think she’s capable of executing such a complicated scheme! To begin with, she was never a smart woman!” I had no intention of rebutting his statement.

“Sienna!”

Initially, I thought he was there because he was worried about me. However, I seemed to have misperceived his intentions – he was there to interrogate me.

As I was sleepy, I yawned and said, “Mr. Featherstone, it’s time for you to leave because I need to sleep.”

Nevertheless, the infuriated man showed no signs of leaving as he leaned against the chair while glaring at me in the eyes indifferently.

His presence had intimidated the nurse who had dropped by to change the bag of fluid. She wouldn’t stop shivering in fear because she thought she had done something wrong and offended Anthony.

After she got the bag of fluid changed, she heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the ward with the used bag of fluid immediately.

However, after she walked a few steps, she turned around and stuttered while delivering her instructions. “S-Sir, you have to apply the o-ointment that has been prescribed by the doctor on Ms. Stanhope’s n-neck. I believe Ms. Stanhope has the ointment with h-her.”

Immediately after the nurse departed, he stared at me and asked callously, “Where’s the ointment?”
