Adrian was taking advantage of her, making her body ache as if it had been crushed.
Tears streamed down her face, soaking her hair, but Adrian showed no reaction.
He took away her breath time and time again, not restraining his anger and pouring all his emotions
into his actions.
Being with Adrian was once a dream of Sienna.
She never imagined that the dream would turn into a cruel reality. Adrian destroyed her aspirations and
hopes.
It was unclear how long Adrian stayed before leaving Sienna alone in the room.
She felt like a broken rag doll that could be abandoned at any time and was not worthy of him. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
This indulgence that night caused Sienna to have a high fever for two whole days.
Her physical condition worsened, and her mood was especially low. She did not cooperate with the
doctor’s treatment.
The doctor shook his head at this situation, and Adrian ordered them to give her continuous nutritional
injections and not let her die.
Adrian kept Sienna at home all the time, which made Janice, who had awakened from a coma, feel a
sense of crisis.
Janice tried everything but still could not make Adrian give up on Sienna completely.
Adrian not only did not drive Sienna away but also had people take care of her, wanting her to recover.
Janice had to be cautious, not allowing Adrian to know the truth.
Letting Sienna stay would only put Janice in danger.
Janice had to deal with this ticking time bomb as soon as possible by making Sienna leave.
“Adrian.” Janice sat obediently on the bed, eating the sandwich prepared by Adrian’s people carefully.
She said, “Is Sienna okay? I’m really worried about her. I’m afraid she’ll do something irrational
again…”
Janice deliberately did not blame Sienna, instead taking all the blame upon herself.
As if everything was caused by Janice’s carelessness, just to make Adrian feel more distressed.
“Don’t worry about her.” Adrian looked at Janice with concern, but images of Sienna in pain with tears
in her eyes kept surfacing in his mind. “I won’t let her hurt you again.”
That was retribution. He tried to persuade himself not to hesitate.
Sienna deserved to bear the consequences for all the evil things she had done.
“Her mother’s funeral is in a few days. Avoid her in case she goes crazy and does something irrational
again.”
Adrian’s words seemed to be for Janice’s benefit, but it surprised Janice.
Adrian hated Sienna, but he was still willing to hold a funeral for her mother.
Could he not let go of Sienna? He was even willing to let her out of the room.
To Adrian, Sienna was indeed full of evil, but Lara was also worthy of respect.
The elegance and dignity that were innate in her bones, her willingness to commit suicide and beg him
for forgiveness for the sake of her daughter, all moved Adrian.
Lara’s life couldn’t be saved, but he didn’t mind holding a simple ceremony to say goodbye to her past.
This was the first time Sienna had stepped out of that room in days.
She was numbly taken to her mother’s funeral by Adrian’s assistant. When she saw the tombstone,
tears flowed uncontrollably.
She couldn’t stop crying from the overwhelming grief, but there was not a sound. It was as if she had
swallowed all the pain
and discomfort.
Adrian stood nearby, watching her trembling shoulders, and his eyes gradually darkened.
His heart was hurting, but he couldn’t explain why.
Sienna deserved no sympathy for her wrongdoings, but he couldn’t suppress his emotions.
Sienna didn’t know how long she had been crying at her mother’s funeral. Her tears were running dry,
and she nearly fainted
several times.
During the three years of emotional turmoil, Lara had borne the brunt of the family’s upheavals while
searching for Sienna’s
whereabouts.

Sienna couldn’t even imagine the amount of suffering Lara had gone through.
Sienna hated Adrian and herself. If she had understood everything sooner, her family wouldn’t have
been dragged down, and her parents wouldn’t have suffered.
As Sienna cried, a tissue suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Sienna looked up dejectedly and saw a young man frowning at her.
The man had a sharp nose and handsome features, with a slight upward curve in his eyebrows and
eyes. His neat suit made him look particularly competent.
“Here, wipe your tears. Things will get better,” said the stranger briefly.
