Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 217 O For Howard , this was truly wonderful news .

After talking to Hervey , he instructed , Prepare a suite at Lions Bay .

Got it .

When they returned to Silver Beach , Josiah gently placed Sienna on the bed .

Rest for a while ; Ive contacted the maid and caregiver , and theyll be here soon .

Sienna nodded and thought that Josiah had delayed his day for her and needed to get back to work .

You should go handle your matters .

She was also unsure how to feel about him at that moment .

Josiah said , Alright .

Ill leave as soon as the maid and caregiver arrive .

Sienna frowned , pointing to his forehead .

Why havent you treated your injury ? Oh .

Josiah had almost forgotten .

Dismissing her concern , he said , Its just a minor injury ; no need for treatment .

He casually grabbed a tissue and wiped away the blood .

Sienna frowned at the wound .

At least disinfect it and put on a bandage .

But I cant see it .

Josiah looked at her hopefully .

Could you help me ? Sienna nodded in agreement .

He had saved her once again today ; if he hadnt chased after her , she might have fallen victim to Reynas schemes .

With her consent , Josiah happily got the first aid kit .

His forehead injury wasnt deep ; a simple application of iodine on a cotton ball followed by a bandage was enough .

All done .

It didnt take long at all .

Josiah lifted his hand to feel the bandage and praised , Its wrapped perfectly .

Sienna thought , Surely its not that impressive .

Sometimes , she found Josiahs heartlessness shocking .

Yet at other times , she saw him as innocent as a child .

She wondered what kind of person he really was .

Before long , the caregiver and maid arrived .

Josiah reluctantly released Sienna , saying , Im leaving ; take care of yourself and dont hesitate to tell them if you need anything .

I might be late tonight ; just sleep without waiting for me .

Sienna nodded , watching him leave .

Her expression shifted to one of gloom and confusion .

Because of her shoulder injury , Josiah forbade Sienna from attending the dance troupe .

She explained , The troupe is on break ; for now , Im just overseeing the childrens class , which doesnt require much from me .

Josiah was still hesitant .

Can you promise you wont dance ? Sienna replied , I promise .

Well then .

Finally , Josiah agreed , personally escorting her to the entrance of the Lightning Dance .

Remember what you said : no dancing .

Ill pick you up in the evening , and if anything goes wrong , you arent going anywhere tomorrow .

Even though Sienna tried to accommodate him , she found herself growing impatient .

Could you please stop nagging ? My ears are about to explode from your constant talking ! Alright , I wont say another word .

Seeing that Sienna was displeased , Josiah quickly quieted down and gently kissed her cheek .

I care about you .

Why are you getting upset with me ? Josiah ! Is this going to go on forever ? Sienna clenched her fists .

Fine , Ill be quiet .

Josiah pretended to zip his lips in a playful gesture .

Sienna turned and jogged into the Lightning Dance .

Slow down ! Is your belly not hurting anymore ? Ill pick you up tonight ; you must not leave on your own ! 1/3 9:34 PM Chapter 217 Growing more irritated , Sienna quickened her pace .

She had never realized how much Josiah could chatter .

Today , the Lightning Dance buzzed with energy .

With no duties in the childrens class that morning , Sienna engaged in stretching and warm ups in the practice room .

Sienna ! Rosie approached her with a smile , accompanied by a girl .

Look whos here ! Ellie ?! Sienna ! Ellie gleefully ran over , embracing Sienna and giving her a kiss on the cheek .

Their bond was indeed a close one , as Ellie had been the one who carried the unconscious Sienna to safety during the incident at Fliratys RED Dance .

Ellie , Im so happy to see you ! Me too , Sienna ! Sienna looked at Ellie , curious .

What brings you to Jeiacrity ? Did you come with the dance troupe ? Yes , Ellie replied with a grin .

After that incident , the troupe cant perform locally .

The main hall of RED Dance had been devastated by an explosion , and repairs would take time there was no quick fix .

Ellie said , The director planned a tour ; were trying to perform at various venues .

Since the tour passed through Jeiacrity , I thought Id stop by to see you .

We are friends who have faced life and death together , arent we ? Sure ! With a friend visiting from afar , Sienna wanted to be a good host .

However , since Ellie had a flight to catch that evening , they decided to catch up over lunch , with Rosie joining them .

Since Siennas arm was still in a sling , they didnt go far and picked a nearby restaurant to treat Ellie to authentic Jeiacrity cuisine .

At midday , the restaurant was packed with customers .

Rosie secured a table by the window .

Sienna , Ellie , come with me ! Coming ! The three talked about their order , and Sienna voiced her concern , Ellie , I hope youll like the food .

If not , I can get you something else later .

However , as soon as the dishes were served , Ellie enjoyed every bite , nearly burying her face in her plate .

So delicious ! Sienna and Rosie exchanged amused glances .

Please indulge yourself .

Ellie , true to her unpretentious nature , didnt hold back .

Laughter filled their table .

Suddenly , Ellie pointed to the television mounted in the restaurant where patrons could watch .

Thats him ! Who ? Sienna looked up ; the news program was covering financial headlines , and todays financial expert was Josiah .

Ellie asked , Is he quite famous in Jeiacrity ? Um , you could say that .

Sienna nodded , feeling a bit confused .

Ellie , do you know him ? Rosie , equally curious , added , Ellie , from your reaction , it seems you are acquaintances ? Well , not exactly .

Ellie waved her hand , then suddenly looked at Sienna .

By the way , werent you asking about who rescued you last time ? Indeed , Sienna had asked Ellie about her rescuer when she was saved .

Howeyer , describing his appearance was rather challenging for Ellie .

All she remembered was that he was very handsome .

Look .

Ellie pointed at Josiah on the screen .

Thats him ! He is your savior !
