"Madam, it’s noon. Shall we go back for lunch?" Sulla said.
"I’m not hungry! Next one!"
"Cough, cough..."
"Where do you feel unwell?"
Sienna Johnson kept her head down and saw a pair of black-gloved hands placed on the table. She was startled and looked up abruptly, and sure enough, Lucas Robertson, who had disguised himself as "Archie," also ca to see the doctor.
"Cough, cough..."
As soon as Lucas appeared, the people waiting to see the doctor quickly moved away, as if he were a plague. Those who brought their children saw the kids start crying when they got frightened by Lucas, causing chaos in the scene.
Sienna just intended to send Sulla away so she could talk to Lucas alone and said to Sulla, "Sulla, it’s too noisy outside. I can’t concentrate on my patients. Could you please ask them to be quieter?"
Sulla always disliked children. The mont she heard them crying, she felt annoyed. At that mont, the combination of wailing and howling kids made Sulla wish she could lift one and slap their buttocks.
"Alright."
Sulla walked out and yelled at the people outside, "What’s with all the noise? Stop it! How is Madam supposed to treat patients with all this ruckus?"
Sienna knew the urgency and quickly said to Lucas, "I have to leave here, and it needs to be as soon as possible!"
"I know a way out. The day after tomorrow, at two in the afternoon, I’ll pretend to be sick and have soone call you. Co to Archie’s house, and I’ll take you away."
Sienna stared at Lucas, dumbfounded. "Leaving in broad daylight?"
"Yes."
"But there are many people watching here, including Sulla..."
"I have everything arranged."
"..."
"There’s sothing else, Elliot Carpenter is not Adrian Desmond’s real uncle."
Sienna clenched the pen in her hand tightly and asked, "Are you sure about this?"
"I personally went to get the hair sample this ti, delivered it to the testing center myself, and waited for the results. Elliot Carpenter and lanie Carpenter are not father and daughter!"
Sienna had many more questions to ask Lucas, but unfortunately, Sulla ca in at that mont. Sienna had to swallow all her words.
"...It’s just a common cold. Take these dicines back, and they should help. Take them for a couple of days, and if there’s no improvent, co back, and I’ll prescribe sothing else."
Sienna casually handed a few packets of cold dicine to Lucas. Lucas packed away the dicine, stood up, and nodded gratefully to Sienna.
Sulla looked at Lucas’s back with disdain, "Madam, you’re too kind-hearted, treating just anyone. Soone like Archie is better off dead."
Sienna didn’t wish to talk to Sulla, that selfish woman.
Soone who would even snatch a jade bracelet from a dead person; there’s nothing they wouldn’t do.
Luckily, in three days, she could leave this place.
...
That evening, Xavier Young was not around, and Sienna finally relaxed her taut nerves. She no longer needed to pretend with Xavier.
She curled up in the screening room, watching Tom and Jerry over and over.
In truth, her eyes were on the screen, but her mind wasn’t on it.
Why were the test results different?
Which part went wrong?
Elliot Carpenter had many questionable aspects, and deep down, Sienna preferred to believe that Elliot was a fake.
If Elliot Carpenter is a fake, why pretend to be him? What does he want? What does he intend to do to Adrian?
Thinking about it gave Sienna a headache, but she couldn’t figure it out.
"I must make Adrian cut ties with Elliot Carpenter!"
But how can she make Adrian overco any guilt or need for atonent and sever ties with Elliot?
Sienna rubbed her temples, feeling the headache worsen.
When other won get married, they face in-law relationships. Who would they save if both the mother-in-law and wife fell into a river? anwhile, her family faces a suspicious imposter uncle with unclear motives...
Why couldn’t she deal with less complicated issues like any ordinary woman? Even dealing with a mistress wouldn’t give her such a headache.
"Madam..." 001 walked in.
Sienna turned to look at the flamboyantly dressed 001, ignoring him. She had always wanted to et him, but now she abruptly didn’t want to.
"Madam, Sixth Master wishes to speak with you."
Sienna was startled for a mont before soone shoved a phone into her hand, "After the call, hide the phone!"
gave the instructions and quickly left, closing the screening room door behind him.
The phone was at her ear, but Sienna didn’t know what to say.
"Sienna?"
Hearing the familiar voice and thinking of Adrian, who was at death’s door in the hospital, with an unimaginably pale face, Sienna’s tears started to flow, and she pressed her lips tightly, not saying a word.
"Just bear it for a few more days. I’ll co to save you soon." Adrian sounded anxious, "Sienna, say sothing. I want to hear your voice."
"..."
"Sienna, are you still angry?"
"..."
"Can we stop fighting? From now on, I’ll give in to you in everything, okay?"
"Adrian, can you sever ties with the Carpenter family?"
This ti it was Adrian’s turn to be silent. Perhaps she was naturally cool and selfish, so she couldn’t understand Adrian’s feelings for Elliot. But she only knew that Elliot’s presence would continuously threaten Adrian’s safety.
She couldn’t allow Adrian to take a bullet for Elliot nor let him be endangered because of him.
"Adrian, that Elliot is not your uncle. He’s a fake..."
"Even now, how can you still doubt my uncle? Didn’t you see the paternity test results, too?"
"But Lucas collected another sample, and the results were completely different from the ones you got! Adrian, my intuition tells there’s sothing wrong with Elliot. And now you’ve been..."
