Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 388 Josiah drove the three of them to the hospital for a follow-up. The results showed that Rosie's condition was stable, and after consulting with the doctor, the surgery date was rescheduled.

Rosie looked a bit worried but also relieved. "I hope there won't be any more problems." "Don't worry," Sienna comforted her. "I've got sfree time, so I can be with you during your surgery." "Really? That's great!" After their follow-up, Josiah went to the parking garage to get the car while Sienna and Rosie waited at the entrance.

When he arrived in the garage, a group of people blocked his way. The leader was Ethan, a notorious right-hand man for Andy.

"What do you want?" Josiah frowned instinctively.

"Mr. Edgar." Ethan smiled, being overly polite. "Mr. Evans wants to see you, and I'm here to take you to him." Josiah let out a low laugh, unimpressed. "Just because he wants to see me, I have to go?" "Eighth Master." Old Lu grinned, seeming well-prepared, "Ms. Shaw and Ms. Miller are currently on their way to Clearbay Estates." What? Josiah's eyes widened in alarm, and his expression darkened... Andy was just a scumbag who only knew how to bully women.

Clenching his jaw tightly, he snapped, "I'm coming with you. Don't you dare hurt her! Not a single hair." Ethan nodded respectfully, "Rest assured, Mr. Edgar." ***** Clearbay Estates. Josiah stepped into the foyer and heard voices before he saw anyone.

"Sienna! Sienna!" In the living room, Sienna and Rosie were sitting together on the couch, both bewildered and unsure of what was going on.

When they heard the voice, they instantly stood up in response. "I'm here!" As Josiah walked into the living room, he spotted her right away. He quickly approached, placing a hand on her shoulder as he scanned her from head to toe.

"Are you okay? Did they scare you? Did they hurt you?" "No..." Sienna was confused, wondering why they had suddenly been stopped and brought here as they waited for him.

Right after that, Josiah arrived. She thought, 'What does this have to do with him?' Furrowing her brows, Sienna quietly asked, "What happened?" Josiah's brow was tightly knitted. "It's too complicated to explain right now. Let's just get you out of here!" He reached out and took her hand.

"Hold Rosie's hand!" "Okay!" "Where are we going?" Upstairs, someone was coming down. Andy looked a bit flustered, breathing unevenly, and smiled at Josiah. "Right after you arrive, you're already leaving? After all the trouble I went through to bring Ms. Shaw here, that'd be a waste!" "Don't worry," Josiah said, glancing down at Sienna. "I won't let anything happen to you." He released her hand and stepped up to Andy, teeth clenched as he hissed, "What did you bring her here for? This is between you and me." Andy frowned at the intensity of Josiah's anger. "She's fine, isn't she? Just a little scared." "A little scared is still unacceptable!" Josiah shot back, his fury barely contained. "Do you even realize how precious she is? If she gets scared, can you afford to pay back? Am I not being clear enough? I have no interest in the Evans family." "Understood," Andy nodded. "But..." He raised an eyebrow, shifting his tone, "After all these years, don't you want to meet your mom?" What did he just say? Those few words sent a shockwave through Josiah's mind.

"My..." Josiah's eyes flickered, his lips parted slightly as he seemed to register the word. "My... mom?" "Surprised?" Andy laughed softly. "Well. Did you forget you even have a mom?" Of course not. After escaping the Evans family, Josiah had thought about that crazy woman living in the little house more than once. He'd tried to gather information about her.

From what he knew, she had long since left the Evans family. No one knew where she went. And now, Andy had actually brought her up.

Josiah's throat went dry. "What do you mean by that?" "I mean..." Andy raised an eyebrow. "If you want to see her, I can arrange for you to meet her right away." Josiah's back stiffened. "You're lying! She hasn't been in Jeiacrity for years! Did you think I didn't look for her?" "You seem to care about your mother." Andy nodded with a smile. "She originally wasn't in Jeiacrity because her condition worsened, and the city wasn't suitable for her recovery. But now that you're back, I thought t might be good for her to see her son. Wouldn't it?" Every word struck Josiah's heart like a hammer. His heart raced, a mix of doubt and hope, he asked slowly, "Where is she?" "Upstairs." Andy didn't beat around the bush, pointing towards the staircase. "Do you want to see her?" At that, Josiah's head shot up, his eyes fixed on the stairs. His mom was up there? For so many years, he had only glimpsed his mother from a distance when he was young... He even thought he would never see her again in this lifetime.

Tears welled up in his eyes as his heart raced, and Josiah suddenly clenched his fists tightly.

Andy was watching him closely, encouraging, "Go see her..." Before he could finish his sentence, Josiah had already sprinted up the stairs. Andy smirked and followed closely behind. However, just as they reached the top, chaos erupted.

"Ah..." A piercing scream echoed as a group of people burst out from the upper floor.

"Ma'am! Don't run!" "Ma'am! Be careful not to fall!" At the front was a woman in a silk dress, her hair disheveled, looking utterly terrified as she rushed forward recklessly, on the verge of tripping over.

"Watch out!" Josiah instinctively raised his hand and caught her before she fell completely.

The woman steadied herself against him, and Josiah looked at Andy with a question in his eyes: Is this... my mother? Andy closed his eyes for a moment and nodded. "Yes." Josiah's heart nearly stopped. He lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms, reaching up to brush aside her tangled hair.

He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words; it felt like his throat tlike was glued shut, leaving him speechless. "Ah..." ." The woman trembled, even more frightened by his presence. "Let... letgo!"

"What?" Josiah felt a surge of anxiety fill his chest, his throat constricting ve painfully "Are you scared? Don't be... I won't hurt you, I..." "No..." The woman seemed to not register his words at all, desperately struggling to break free and bolted down the stairs.

"Stop her!" "Yes!" The servants quickly started chasing after her.

The woman dashed around like a headless chicken. Suddenly, she collided straight into Sienna! "Ma'am!" "Sienna!"

Sienna was completely stunned and hadn't processed what was om happening. She instinctively reached out to steady the woman, a rush of empathy flooding over her. "Are you...

okay?" She thought, 'This woman... is she Josiah's real mother?' The woman was caught but instinctively attempted to escape. Yet, the moment she saw Sienna, she calmed down.

She even smiled, "It's you, it's really you!" Huh? Sienna was taken aback. Then, as she got a good look at the woman's face, memories flooded back.

"You... you are... you are the one..." It was the woman Sienna had run into at the hospital a few days ago. Just like now, she had also collided with Sienna without warning.
