Chapter 143ย  If this kept up, who knew what could happen? Rosie knocked urgently on the neighboring door despite the late hour. โ€œMs. Scott, Siennaโ€™s in really bad pain. We need to do somethingโ€ย  Brenda was up in an instant. โ€œThis serious?โ€ she asked, already heading next doorย  Sienna could barely speak through the pain. โ€œMโ€“Mcโ€ย  โ€œShh, donโ€™t talk,โ€ Brenda said with aย  a wave of her hand, turning to Rosic. โ€œHave you called the front desk?โ€ย  โ€œI did,โ€ Rosie replied, โ€œbut they canโ€™t help.โ€ย  โ€œNo, we canโ€™t just wait here,โ€ Brenda said firmly. โ€œEven if the roads are closed, we have to get her to the hospital.ย  She instructed Rosie. โ€œHelp Sienna change her clothes. Iโ€™ll get Mark from logistics to bring the car and find someone to carry her. Theyโ€™ll let us through if we explain itโ€™s an emergencyโ€ย  โ€œGot it. Ms. Scout, Rosie said.ย  Brenda left, and Rosie quickly helped Sienna into clean clothes.ย  Soon Brenda returned and asked, โ€œIs she ready?โ€ย  โ€œYeah,โ€ Rosie replied.ย  Brenda motioned to the young mais from logistics. โ€œCan you carry Sienna? She canโ€™t walk.โ€ย  โ€œSure, Ms. Scott,โ€ he said, With Rosieโ€™s help, he lifted Sienna onto his back.ย  Sienna winced, the position pressing against her stomach.ย  โ€œJust hold on, Sienna Brenda reassured her. โ€œWeโ€™ll get you in the car soon. Yย  Youโ€™ll be fineย  They made their way to the door, where Mark was waiting with the ear. But the storm was fierce, and he wiped his wet face and hesitated. โ€œMs. Scott, driving in this is riskyโ€ย  Brenda frowned.

It had been there for a while, but the storm had drowned it out. Now, as they looked up, they saw something descending. The roar was from it.ย  โ€œA helicopter!โ€ Rosie exclaimed, her voice singed with surprise.ย  Everyone froze, bewildered by the unexpected sight.ย  The helicopter touched down in the centerย  both in dark green flight suits and goggles.ย  of the square. The door swung open, and Josh, with Zach right behind him, stepped out. They wereย  Josiah immediately spotted Sienna slumped over a logistics guy, her eyes closed, clearly in pain.ย  His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly strode over. Without any chat, he held out his arms and said shortly, โ€œLet me hold her.โ€ย  Brenda was taken aback. She didnโ€™t know heโ€™d find out and hadnโ€™t expected him to show up. But there was no time for questions. She urged the young man, โ€œHurry up, will you?โ€ย  โ€œYes,โ€ the man replied.ย  Josiah took Sienna from the young manโ€™s arms, cradling her in his arms.

Her face was slick with sweat, her hair damp and clinging to her skin.ย  Dreameโ€“Road Deย  Chapter 113ย  Zach quickly stepped up, holding a tarp to shield her from the wind and rain.ย  Time was of the essence. They worked together seamlessly, without a word, getting Sienna onto the helicopter. The door closed behind them.ย  Josiah had flown them there, but now, holding Sienna, he couldnโ€™t manage the controls.ย  โ€œIโ€™ll take the controls,โ€ Zach said.ย  โ€œThanks,โ€ Josiah replied, his focus on Sienna.ย  The helicopter lifted off again, heading towards the city. Josiah gently brushed the sweatโ€“soaked hair from Siennaโ€™s face and whispered, โ€œWeโ€™ll be at the hospital soonโ€ย  this typhoon night, even the emergency room was eerily quiet. Suddenly, the automatic glass doors slid open.ย  โ€œDoctor, quickly!โ€ Zach shouted.ย  โ€œNursesโ€œโ€ he added.ย  There came the response. โ€œOkay, right on the wayย  โ€œGet her to the emergency room Call the doctor, someone instructed.ย  Meanwhile, Cedric was stuck in traffic, and the police officer wasnโ€™t letting anyone pass. He was trying to use his connections to find a way through.ย  While he waited, he couldnโ€™t stop worrying about Sienna. His number was blocked, so he got a new one and called her. The phone rang for a bit before someone picked upย  โ€œSienna,โ€ Cedric said, his voice tense. โ€œHow are you? Is the pain really bad? Have you everย  But there came a strange female voice. It was Rosie, who didnโ€™t recognize the number. โ€œUm Are you a friend of Siennaโ€™s She left her phone in theย  room.ย  โ€œWhere is she now? Cedric asked, his concem growing.ย  โ€œSheโ€™s already been taken to the hospital, Rosie said, recalling what Brenda had mentioned. โ€œThey sent her to Harwood Hospitalโ€ย  โ€œAlright. Thank youโ€ Cedric quickly hung up.ย  Just then, the cop waved him forward. โ€œYou can go noย  nowย  โ€œOkay. Thanksโ€ Cedric said, getting back into his car and speeding off to Harbwood Hospitalย  Rosie, holding the phone, murmured to herself, โ€œWho was that?โ€ย  She also didnโ€™t know who hadย  gotten off the helicopter earlier. But whatever, they were all Siennaโ€™s friends, and as long as Sienna knew, it was fine.ย  At the hospital, Sienna was recovering in a private room, booked up to an IV after her time in the ERย  The nurse finished her injection and glanced at Josiah โ€œSheโ€™s stable now. With this storm outside, youโ€™re already here in time.โ€ โ€œThanks,โ€ Josiah said, noddingย  โ€œNo problem just holler if you need anythingโ€ the nurse reย  replied.ย  โ€œWill do.โ€ Josiah said.ย  He sat by Siennaโ€™s side, watching her sleep. His heart finally slowed down. โ€œGod. You had me worried,โ€ he murmured.ย  Suddenly, the door swung open, and Zach walked in โ€œMr. Flynn,โ€ he said.ย  Josiah got it, stood up, and looked at Sienna Tll be back in a bit, he whispered to her.ย  Of course, Sienna, deep in her sleep, couldnโ€™t respond to him.ย  2/3ย  12:36 PM ฤ ฤย  Chapter 143ย  He stepped into the hallway, where Zach was waiting โ€œWhatโ€™s up?โ€ Josiah asked, hands in his pockets.ย  Actually, Zach got Josiahโ€™s order and went to look into what caused Siennaโ€™s stomachacheโ€“for no particular reason. Josiah just wanted to know whyย  But unexpectedly, Zach did find something. He said. โ€œSienna and her roommate, Rosie exchanged their food, but everyone including them had the same meal from the hotelย  โ€œThen only Sienna got sick!โ€ Josiah wondered aloud.ย  โ€œYes. Thereโ€™s this girl, Nina, who gave her a glass of juice. Zach explained. โ€œNinaโ€™s been giving Sienna a hard time latelyโ€ย  Josiahโ€™s expression darkened. โ€œSo, she messed with the juice,โ€ he said, more as a sย  as a statement than a question,ย
