Chapter 118 – His Second Chance Love: The Freezing Silence

Joe shut his mouth and glared at me again.

Rylee ran over in heels and asked hurriedly, “I just got to know about this. What actually happened?”

Joe pulled her aside and told her while consoling her.

When she noticed that Anthony and I were seated together, she pouted. Then, she stood at the side and said nothing.

Shortly after, Macy was pushed out of the dressing room. The doctor called for someone to go through the admission procedures. Anthony did not want me to move, so he went with her instead.

I went into the ward to take a look at Macy. Due to the anesthesia, it would take approximately half an hour for her to wake up. I gave Jackson a call and stayed in the ward.

Rylee crossed her arms and leaned against the door. “Seems like you and Anthony get along very well.”

I did not feel like conversing with her, so I replied sarcastically, “Thank you, Ms. Lorraine, for your attention to our relationship. Don’t worry, as our love will only grow as time goes.”

“Y-You!” Her face flushed in anger. “Sienna, Anth is mine. Don’t even dream of keeping him by your side after the baby is born. You don’t stand a single chance against me!”

I nodded as I agreed with those words. I replied insincerely, “I believe in Ms. Lorraine’s abilities, but you’re telling the wrong person – you should tell Anthony instead. It is up to him who he chooses to be with.”

“If Anthony wants to be with you, no matter how attractive I am, I would not be able to keep him by my side. I believe you know that very well.”

She should be smart enough to get what I meant by those words.

I did not want to dwell on that topic further, as her face turned dark. However, she was not the type who would let such comments go.

She entered the ward, squinted her eyes and warned, “Sienna, even though I can’t lay a finger on you, don’t forget that you still have a bestie.”

She pulled out the IV on Macy’s hand. I was astounded. My defensive instinct was to push her with all my might.

She fell onto the ground and knocked onto the corner of the wall.

She exclaimed, “Sienna, this is too much! Just because you are pregnant doesn’t mean that I dare not lay my hands on you!”

Anthony rushed in before I could utter a word. Joe followed in as well. Seeing that his sweetheart had fallen on the ground, Joe glared at me and yelled, “Did you pushed her?”

I glared at her and exclaimed, “Yes!”

“Sienna, do you have a death wish?” He raised his hand and was about to hit me.

“Stop right there!” Anthony yelled.

“I am just protecting Rylee! Why does Sienna get to harm others and get away with it?” Joe exclaimed.

Glaring at him with a frown, I soon retorted, “Excuse me, Mr. Quinn? I know that you’re trying to protect the love of your life, but shouldn’t you be getting to the bottom of this by finding the true culprit? Ms. Lorraine was the one who had assaulted me. I was merely trying to defend myself.”

As always, Rylee put on a pitiable front as she started to weep in front of us. ”Stop lying, Sienna! You were the one who threatened me, telling me that I wouldn’t get to see Anth anymore! You pushed me because I refused to succumb to your absurd request!”

With his brows furrowed, Anthony stared at me as if he were frustrated. “That’s enough drama for today, I suppose. I have already dealt with the paperwork to get Macy hospitalized.”

He turned around and instructed Joe, “I don’t think that this is the best time to get worked up over such trivial matters. I want you to stay put in front of ER and get in touch with me if there’s anything wrong.”

Joe glared at me because he was infuriated. He grasped Rylee and whispered as he passed by my side, “Sienna, I’ll get even with you on this, just you wait!”

I glanced at the seemingly pitiable woman as she departed.

She was a lucky woman—loved by both Anthony and Joe, adored by Jared, and blessed with doting parents who wielded great influence. A woman like her could easily live a carefree life without getting married.

Anthony placed the documents that he had with him on the nightstand by the bed and asked, “What do you have in your mind?”

Since Macy had yet to regain consciousness, I took a seat on the couch as I suggested, “Why don’t you tend to the things that you’ve listed on your schedule? I mean, there’s nothing else we can do as of now.”

“Do you really think I’m supposed to leave at such a critical time?”

He was right—Jared was still in the ER.

Slouching against the couch, I was readying myself to take a nap as I was exhausted after having gone through several consecutive hours of yoga lessons. A few minutes later, Anthony received a call from Joe and figured out that Jared had been brought out of the ER.

In spite of being thrilled, I had to remain by Macy’s side until she regained consciousness.

Nevertheless, before I could fall asleep, Macy had regained consciousness. She accidentally bumped her head as she brought herself up from the bed. “Is everything alright with him?”

It was pretty evident that she was referring to Jared. Seeing as such, I told her, “He’s fine. He’s on his way out from ER as we speak.”

She heaved a sigh of relief as she soon grew lost in her train of thoughts, staring at the ceiling. I couldn’t resist the urge as I asked, “How are things going for both of you?”

Macy levelled me a gaze as she heaved another long sigh of despair. “It’s pretty much the same…”

“Is he aware that you’re pregnant?”

“Nope!”

In the end, I decided to stop poking my nose into their business because I couldn’t possibly comprehend the things that were going on behind the scene. Since she had no intention to share it with me, I decided to wrap up the conversation.

Eventually, Jackson showed up with a basket of fruits in the ward.

Since we were engaged in a conversation, he let out a long sigh of relief when he learned that Macy had regained consciousness. “Goodness gracious! Thankfully, it’s nothing serious. I’m sure that you’ll recover in no time!”

“Mmm…” The exhausted Macy nodded in return.

Jackson was curious and he couldn’t resist the urge to get to the bottom of the accident. Hence, he queried, “Why were you involved in an accident? Was there anyone else that was around you?”

Macy had no intention to tell him the truth. She brushed him off and lied, “I-It was an accident! How was I supposed to foresee an accident happening?”

Jackson rolled his eyes as he reprimanded his friend, “You’re lying, aren’t you?”

I played along with Macy because I was aware that she had no intention of sharing the truth with Jackson. Immediately, I interrupted their conversation and asked, “What have you brought along with you? Where did you get such a delicate-looking basket of fruits?”

“You can always drop by the entrance of the hospital to get another one for a hundred and fifty each.” After he finished his sentence, he walked away and took a seat on the couch.

The room went dead silent since there wasn’t anything else we could talk about. I decided to go with the flow and kept my mouth shut tight since Macy needed some time to collect her thoughts. On the other hand, Jackson started browsing through his phone.

I almost fell asleep by the time Anthony returned. Some time ago, Jackson had an encounter with him. Therefore, before I could introduce them to one another, Jackson jolted up from the couch and greeted, “Anthony!”

To be honest, I was afraid that Jackson would blurt out the things he had in mind.
