The Wrong Woman

"You..." Shelly felt her heart soften at his words. She was deeply moved and at a loss for words.

"I haven't shared these thoughts with Sienna. I'd appreciate it if you didn't either, to spare her any trouble," Daniel said.

He nodded politely before saying goodbye. "Mrs. Lawson, I'll be taking my leave now. I won't take up any more of your time." With that, Daniel turned and walked away.

Returning to her senses, Shelly hurriedly followed him while holding the gifts out. "Mr. Morrison, please take these with you." Daniel was already in his car. He politely replied, "Mrs. Lawson, those are all for you. They're not too valuable. Please keep them."

He waved before driving off.

Shelly stood by the door, utterly stunned. She glanced down at the hefty bags of gifts clutched in her hands.

Out of all the men Sienna had dated, Daniel stood out as the most handsome and courteous. It was unfortunate that he worked as an anti-drug officer.

Shelly returned to unwrap the gifts she'd received. She guessed they might be coffee beans, dairy products, or food.

However, when she tore into the packages, she was shocked to find they were all pricey items.

There was a big box filled with pricey supplements, another containing caviar, a package of high-end skincare products, and a stunning set of pearl jewelry that looked like it cost a fortune. Shelly was utterly shocked by the sheer value of these gifts.

Even though Sienna and Daniel had broken up, he still gave Shelly such extravagant presents. It made Shelly wonder if Sienna hadn't ended things with him, what other lavish gifts might he have given her. Shelly anxiously dialed Sienna's number.

After a few rings, Sienna finally answered, dragging herself out of bed to pick up the phone.

"Sienna, do you still talk to your ex?" Shelly's voice came from the other end.

Sienna, sounding irritated, responded, "Mom, what's this about now?"

"I'm just curious."

"No, I don't," Sienna responded impatiently. "What's going on?"

In a quiet tone, Shelly asked, "I was just wondering, what gifts did your ex give you? Did you give them back?"

"I returned every single one. Can we drop this now?"

Sienna had been feeling a bit better lately. However, when Shelly unexpectedly brought up Daniel, it stirred up those feelings of sadness again.

Annoyed, Sienna snapped, "What do you want from me?"

"Okay, forget it. I'm just glad you returned them."

Feeling downcast, Sienna ended the call abruptly. She tossed her phone aside and buried herself under the blanket.

Suddenly, her phone rang again.

Irritated, Sienna reluctantly emerged

from her cocoon and sighed at the ceiling. She sat up and glanced at the caller ID, assuming it was Shelly calling, only to find it was an

unfamiliar number.

Sienna paused, bringing the phone to her ear and answering, "Hello?"

On the other end, a woman's voice, gentle yet serious, spoke, "Is this Ms. Lawson?"

"Yes, speaking," Sienna responded.

"I'm calling from Eastville Hospital. Your brother, Felix Lawson, has been seriously injured and is currently undergoing emergency treatment.

"We need you to come over and pay for the medical expenses," the woman said.

Sienna's face paled in an instant.

Panicked, she flung off the blanket and hurriedly got out of bed.

Snatching her backpack and phone, she bolted out of the room. Content

Half an hour later, Sienna arrived at the entrance to the emergency room at Eastville Hospital, gasping for breath.

Spotting a nurse, she approached anxiously. "My brother's name is Felix Lawson. How is he? Where can I find him?"

The nurse handed her a medical bill. "He's still in the emergency room. Please follow me to the payment counter to make the deposit."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Sienna followed the nurse to the

payment counter without hesitation. She handed over several tens of thousands of dollars. It was all the money she had.

She sat alone on a bench outside the emergency room and waited anxiously. Memories flooded back to when her father had been gravely ill.

Restlessness gripped her, her fear making her limbs icy and her thoughts scattered.
