Sienna silently scolded herself for not valuing what she once had and held herself responsible. With a heavy heart, she turned her electric scooter back home.
In the days that followed, Sienna couldn't muster the courage to see Daniel. Instead, she constantly checked her phone, hoping for his message.
She longed for a reason and the bravery to reach out to him, but each day passed without progress.
On the day Felix left the hospital, Shelly prepared various dishes at home. She had asked Sienna to invite Daniel over, but Sienna was unsure of how to broach the subject with him.
In the hospital ward, Felix folded clothes and stole occasional glances at Sienna, who sat quietly on a stool. "You're here to pick me up, yet you're not lending a hand. Why are you just lost in your phone?" Putting her phone down, Sienna glared at Felix and replied, "You're perfectly capable of moving, aren't you? Why make a fuss over folding clothes?"
Felix shook his head in exasperation. "You're really thoughtless. Anyone who marries you is in for a tough ride."
Already feeling down, Sienna felt even worse when Felix brought up the topic. She retorted, "I'm not asking you to marry me, am I?"
Sienna and Felix had been teasing and arguing since they were children. They'd always had little fights when they were kids and disagreements as they grew older.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Felix didn't hold back his words. "Let me be blunt. Guys dislike women like you who have a great body. It makes them feel insecure, like they could be betrayed at any moment. "You're not gentle, thoughtful, or considerate. You're hot-headed, and you're too gorgeous."
"I'm blessed with a great figure, something you can only dream of. A skinny guy like you deserves nothing better than a twig for a partner," Sienna snapped.
"You..." Felix winced, feeling the sting of his wound. His expression turned grim as he pointed at Sienna.
Refusing to back down, Sienna added, "No, not even a twig would want to be with someone like you. You should just stay single forever."
Felix clenched his jaw. "Sienna, watch what you say."
Suddenly, a knock on the door echoed. Sienna and Felix fell silent, their attention shifting to the doorway.
Daniel stood there, looking slightly embarrassed at the sight of the siblings arguing. The door had been open all along, but he felt compelled to knock. He found their squabble rather childish.
"Dan, you're here?" Felix exclaimed with a smile.
During Felix's time in the hospital, Daniel had been a frequent visitor. Their friendship had deepened over time. What began as "Captain Morrison" had now become simply
l.n
"Dan" Their connection had become
stronger.
Felix found himself growing quite fond of Sienna's ex-boyfriend. Not only was he mature and reliable, but he was also generous, capable, and trustworthy.
Daniel smiled warmly at Felix, nodding as he walked in. "How are you feeling?"
Felix grinned. "I'm doing great. I just need to take it easy after returning home."
Sienna sat anxiously, feeling her
heart race. Seeing Daniel again, the memories from their last encounter
came flooding back. Her cheeks turned red, and she couldn't shake the feeling of shyness that washed over her.
After greeting Felix, Daniel turned his attention to Sienna.
As soon as their eyes met, Sienna felt a warmth spread through her body. She became nervous and didn't know how to react, so she instinctively looked down to avoid his gaze. Daniel remained calm and polite, as always. "Sienna," he greeted her.
Sienna couldn't shake the feeling that she was acting strangely. Why was she suddenly feeling so awkward and getting embarrassed so easily?
She was so nervous that her breathing became uneven. There were countless words she wished to tell him, but the memory of his rendezvous with Vivian made her hesitate to speak at all. Sienna's silence and avoidance of eye contact made Daniel uneasy. His mood shifted, and his expression grew solemn.
As Felix finished packing, he said, "Sienna, you can head back by yourself. I won't be using your electric scooter. I'll ride with Dan in his car."
