Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 409 The door to the ward opened, and Gilbert walked in. Sienna and Rosie had met him before, so they knew each other. However, they wondered what he was doing here.

It wasn't just them who were puzzled. Gilbert was also confused. He looked around the room and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Flynn not around?" Sienna shook her head and explained, "Howard cby, but he just left." "He left?" Gilbert, still confused, looked at Sienna. "Hello, Ms. Shaw. We meet again so soon..." Then, he turned to Rosie. "Hello, Ms. Miller. I'm Gilbert Hardin. We've met." "Hello, Mr. Hardin," Rosie greeted politely with a nod.

"Since Mr. Flynn isn't here, I'll explain what's going on," Gilbert said. "Mr. Flynn entrustedwith this matter. He said that you, Ms. Miller, might need my services for your divorce case. Since Mr. Flynn's not here, we can discuss it directly." Sienna glanced at Rosie and thought, 'Howard works fast. Rosie just got her bandages removed today, and he's already brought Mr. Hardin here. I guess he really wants Rosie to end her terrible marriage.' Sienna and Gilbert looked at Rosie, waiting for her to speak.

"Mr. Hardin, thank you for making this trip. But I will take care of the divorce myself," Rosie refused.

Sienna was startled. "Rosie." Gilbert frowned in confusion. "Ms. Miller, are you worried about the fees? I am indeed expensive, and it would be overkill forto handle a divorce case..." Gilbert was quite frank. "But Mr. Flynn dida favor. He will handle the fees, so you don't have to worry about it at all." The more he spoke, the more resolute Rosie becin her stance. "Mr. Hardin, thank you very much. But really, you don't have to." "Hmm..." Gilbert was stunned, not expecting to be rejected. However, he didn't force it. "As you wish, Ms. Miller. I will take my leave. If you prefer, you can discuss it with Mr. Flynn again." "Thank you," Rosie said.

"You're welcome," Gilbert replied.

As soon as Gilbert left, Sienna grabbed Rosie's hand. She was a little anxious. "Rosie, why did you refuse? Gilbert is the best lawyer in Jeiacrity." "I know." Rosie nodded and sighed. "I can't afford such a good lawyer myself. I already owe Howard a lot of money. I'll have to work hard to pay him back, so I might as well save where I can." "You're doing this to save money?" Sienna asked in surprise. "But Howard's not pressuring you to pay him back." From what she knew, Howard had no plans to ask Rosie for the money.

"That's his problem, but I need to pay him back as soon as possible. I still don't understand why he's being so nice to me. It makesfeel uneasy. I'll feel much better once I've repaid him," Rosie insisted.

Sienna found herself unable to convince Rosie any further, but she remained concerned about her divorce. "Don't worry," Rosie said with a smile. "Daniel and I have been separated for as long as we were married. Even if he hadn't cheated and been abusive, this divorce wouldn't be tough." They had been separated for over two years. Their relationship had long since broken down, with no marital duties or conjugal relations remaining. She hadn't divorced him before simply because she still had hope for their relationship.

"That's true." Sienna nodded and helped Rosie pack her things.

"I'm sorry to have to impose on you again," Rosie said. Her rented apartment in City Pearl had long been given up. After being discharged from the hospital, she had to temporarily stay at Sienna's place.

"Don't worry about it." Sienna gave her a gentle, playful glare. "It's no big deal." Rosie was one of Sienna's few friends in Jeiacrity. When Sienna first returned to Jeiacrity, Rosie had helped her a lot.

Rosie burst into laughter. "Still, I don't want to seem rude." ***** That day, Josiah accompanied Yvette to the hospital for a checkup. However, the results were disappointing. Despite a period of treatment, Yvette's leg hadn'@shown any improvement.

The doctor said uncertainly, "Let's try a different treatment plan." In fact, they all knew very well that the longer it dragged on, the slimmer the hope became.

Yvette cout of the doctor's office looking pale and downcast, without saying a word. Josiah felt worried and guilty, but he kept his feelings hidden from her.

He bent down to look at her and said softly, "Yvette, the doctor told us to take it slow. You have to stay positive and hopeful. It will help you get better." "Really?" Yvette's lips curved into a faint smile. "Will my leg heal? Will I be able to stand again?" "Of course," Josiah replied.

Yvette looked at him with hopeful eyes, tears starting to form. "Then, will you always stay by my side?" "Of course." Josiah nodded again. He couldn't say no.

Yvette was hurt because of him, and she had broken up with Howard and moved out of the Flynn residence. She could only rely on him from then on.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Yvette nodded, her voice choked with tears. "I'm glad I still have you." Josiah pushed the wheelchair and walked outside, searching for a light topic. "What would you like to eat tonight?" "Hmm..." Yvette thought for a moment. "We haven't gone out to eat in a while. How about we try Lucky Dining?" "Sure." It didn't matter to Josiah where they went. "Lucky Dining it is." ***** That evening, Sienna hosted a dinner at Lucky Dining. Following the incident with Reyna's false accusation, she invited Conner, Cedric Tara, Joyce, and Rosie Everyone had arrived, except for Cedric.

In the private room, Sienna spoke to Conner about Rosie's job search Conner was now managing the "Conner, can you find a suitable Fischer family's supermarket chain.

position for Rosie?" Although it wasn't in her field of study, Rosie needed a job urgently to earn money. Conner readily agreed, "No problem, Sienna. Just say the word." "Thank you," Sienna replied.

Feeling grateful to have landed her first job, Rosie smiled brightly atm Sienna. She then leaned in and whispered, "Your brother treats you really well." "Conner is great," Sienna said. "But being siblings doesn't guarantee the scharacter." It reminded Sienna of Tania and her mother, Tiffany.

Just then, Sienna's phone rang. She answered it and stepped outside. "Are you almost here? I'll cout to meet you." "You don't have to." Cedric chuckled from the other end of the line. "It's not like I haven't been to Lucky Dining before." "It's different," Sienna insisted. "I'm treating tonight, so I want to act like a proper host. I'm coming out now."

While she was speaking, she reached the main entrance. A picked up outsidelarong wind had Wash the and the weather was changing. It seemed like it was going to rain soon.

After hanging up the phone, Sienna pressed down her wind-tossed hair and hugged her arms against the chill. The wind was strong, and the air was getting a bit chilly. A black Bentley entered the courtyard and cto a stop at the foot of the steps leading to the main entrance.
