Call an ambulance ! Why are you calling me ? Am I a doctor ? Dont worry , Josiah , were already in the ambulance the agent said anxiously .

I thought it was important to inform both you and Howard Josiah rubbed his temples , trying to keep his anger in check .

How is Yvette now ? Its still unclear .

The doctor thinks it might be due to exhaustion ….

Yvette had been so busy preparing for her wedding , and the stress was affecting her health .

I get the point The agent asked quietly , Josiah , will you be coming ? Josiah said .

But , just as the agent had said , Howards phone was unreachable Josiah was confused Howard hadnt come back to work yet , and today wasnt even his scheduled day .

Josiah called the Flynn residence .

Linda answered , Josiah ? Is Howard at home No , he left this afternoon with Hervey .

Is something wrong , Josiah ? No After ending the call , Josiah frowned , feeling suspicious .

He thought , Howard went out with Hervey this afternoon ! What were they doing for so long ? I trust my brother , but there were just too many strange things happening since he woke up ! Josiah went back to the screening room .

Sienna was was stills I seated , focused on the big screen , laughing with the audience as the movie played .

Josiah leaned in closer to her ear , speaking softly .

Yvette collapsed on set and is going to the hospital .

Josiah felt a rush of guilt , beads of sweat forming on his brow .

Sienna , Im only going to Understood , Before he could finish .

Sienna waved her hand dismissively .

Then go she turned back to the screen to continue watching the movie .

Her quick and casual response only made Josiah feel more uneasy .

He grabbed her hand .

Are you upset Honestly , I didnt plan to go , but Howard is unreachable Shh .

Sienna put a finger to her lips signaling him to be quiet This is a public place , dont speak so loudly or youll disturbs others .

I told you to go , didnt To stop any more arguments , she added , Im not upset .

Josiah studied her calm expression , trying to find any sign of discontent .

Having learned from past experiences , his anxiety stayed .

He held her hand .

If thats the case , why dont you come with me ? 1/2 WALPMI Chapter 229 Why would I do that ? Sienna glared at him , pulling h movie .

Its really good .

Sienna ….

her hand away and shaking her head .

You can go and take care of her : I want to watch this Could you please be reasonable ? Sienna was getting a bit annoyed .

You wont stay to watch it with me , and now youre not even letting me finish it on my own ? Tactually really like this movie .

She turned her head , refusing to look at him again or continue the discussion .

Josiah watched her for a few seconds before giving in .

Alright , you keep watching He checked his watch .

Ill call Zaid and have him pick you up .

Sienna didnt even respond , just waved him away .

Josiah frowned as he stood to leave the screening room .

At the door , he paused and sent Sienna a message : [ Sienna , if I can make it in time , Ill come to get you .

If you decide to head home first , call me .

] After sending the message .

he got no reply .

Assuming she was caught up in the movie , he sighed softly , deciding to wait until she finished ; she would see his message eventually .

Josiah left the cinema and rushed to the hospital .

When he arrived , he found Yvette already settled in her room , awake but looking weak and pale .

Josiah youre here .

Yvette leaned against the headboard .

Ive made you hurry around again , but theres really nothing wrong with me .

I just skipped lunch while rushing through filming , and Im feeling a bit weak from low blood sugar .

She pointed to the IV drip .

Two bags of fluids will fix that .

Then she scolded her agent and assistant .

Theyre always making a big fuss .

Theyre just worried about you , Josiah said , sitting beside her bed .

But I have to scold you a little .

Youre already so busy getting ready for the wedding , why are you still working so hard ? Yvette chuckled softly .

You talk as if its wrong for me to take my work seriously .

She glanced past him , her eyes showing a hint of disappointment .

Howard hasnt come , has he ! Even though Josiah had issues with Howard , he would never say anything negative about Howard .

I asked them not to tell Howard yet .

I wanted to check on you first so he wouldnt get too worried Oh , I see .

Yvette accepted his explanation .

Youre very thoughtful ; Howards recovery isnt complete yet .

True .

Josiah nodded .

Just then , his phone buzzed in his pocket .

I need to take this call Go ahead Stepping outside , Josiah unlocked his phone , his expression darkening .

Howard , where are you ? I just got to the hospital ; Ill be there soon .

Okay Josiah hung up and made his way straight to the entrance of the patient ward .

He then saw Howard and Hervey coming out of the elevator .

Josiah Howard nodded at his brother , his refined face looking a bit tired , Hows Yvette ? Is she okay ? Howard Josiah met his brothers gaze directly and turned the question back on him .

Linda said you left this afternoon .

Can you tell me what youve been busy with lately ?
