Chapter 844 Whatever

Coming out of the ward, she took a deep breath. The clear imprint of

five fingers on her cheek was particularly visible, but she paid no

attention to it.

The faint smile on her face disappeared as soon as she stepped out of

the ward.

She walked towards the elevator, followed by Mario's secretary.

The secretary just kept following her, which ignited Sienna's emotions.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Mario's secretary, her voice

cold and indifferent as she questioned, "I just went to buy water, and

he's so worried and afraid that I'll run away? Or is he afraid that I'll

expose what happened last night?"

Sienna was in a bad mood, and her tone was naturally unpleasant,

filled with sarcastic mockery. Her words echoed in the quiet hospital

corridor, sounding particularly abrupt.

The secretary was taken aback and quickly explained, "Mr. King didn't

mean it that way. He's just worried that her mother might cause trouble

for you, so he asked me to follow you to prevent any unpleasant

incidents. As for what you want to do, it's up to you."

Sienna didn't feel any joy because of that; instead, she let out a cold

snort and a faint smile, saying, “Is that so?"

The secretary nodded hastily, but Sienna remained silent.

The two entered the elevator, one in front and one behind. Sienna’s

expression was particularly cold, and even in the confined space of the

elevator, the temperature around her seemed to turn cold. The

secretary was well aware of Sienna's identity and knew how much

Mario valued her, so naturally, he didn't dare to neglect Sienna.

The atmosphere was unusually quiet, so quiet that it felt as if one could

hear the sound of breathing.

In a low voice, the secretary spoke, "Mr. King asked me to tell you that

Miss Armstrong and Mr. Simpson are probably very worried about you.

He suggested that you take the opportunity to make a call to Miss

Armstrong while buying the water.”

Sienna didn't say anything, nor did she feel any gratitude in her heart.

After all, Mario was the one who caused all of this. He knew very well

that his actions would have unimaginable consequences, so why did he

persist in doing it?

Was it impulsiveness?

But they had known each other for a long time. If he had any impulses,

they would have surfaced long ago.

Sienna wouldn't give him any excuses or reasons to absolve himself.

What's done is done. She absolutely couldn't act as if nothing had

happened just because he was also injured now. She couldn't be that

magnanimous.

Sienna bought two cups of juice from a café near the hospital and

slowly made her way back. She had no intention of calling Camille. She

wasn't in a good mood right now, so she didn't want to show her worst

side to her best friend.

As Sienna walked back to the hospital, she ran into Mrs. King and

Mario's cousin. She was the daughter of Mario's uncle and the only girl

of the youngest generation in the King family. So when Mrs. King

adopted Sienna, the cousin was constantly dissatisfied with her,

believing that Sienna had taken away all the love that belonged to her.

In her heart, she held deep resentment towards Sienna.

Normally, the relationship between the two was very tense, but Sienna

didn't bother paying attention to her. Most of the time, the cousin was

just putting on a solo show.

Sienna handed the two cups of juice to Mrs. King and spoke in a gentle

tone, "Mom, here's your drink. Why don't you stay a little longer?"

Her attitude was always obedient and well-behaved. Mrs. King didn't

say anything, she just reached out and took the juice Sienna handed

over, her tone calm as she said, "He's tired. Let him rest a bit. You stay

here and take care of him. If there's anything, let me know immediately.

Don't keep anything from me."

Sienna nodded to show that she understood, then reached out to hand

the other bottle of juice to the cousin. However, she showed no

intention of taking it, just glanced at Sienna indifferently. Then, she

immediately seized the opportunity to feign concern for Mario, but in

reality, she was trying to provoke Mrs. King against Sienna. She said,

"Aunt, although it doesn't look serious, I think Mario's injury is quite

severe. After all, he hurt his head. What if he has a concussion or other

complications?"

Upon hearing this, worry immediately filled Mrs. King's face, and even

her gaze towards Sienna turned cold.

The cousin quickly took advantage of the situation and continued,

"Sienna, is his injury caused by you? Although he protects you, it

doesn't mean you can mistreat him all the time, you know? I don't even

know what you did to him. How could you hurt his head? The head is

such an important part. What if something unexpected happens?"

The cousin knew that it must be related to Sienna; otherwise, why

would Sienna offer no defense at all? Since Sienna came to the King

family, Mario had been biased towards her. He had done so much for

her, much more than he did for her, his own cousin sister, and that

naturally made her resentful.

Mrs. King became more worried as she listened, and her next glance at

Sienna was filled with displeasure as she questioned, "Sienna, did you

cause Mario's head injury? Give me an honest answer. Did he

deliberately deceive me to protect you?"

Sienna met Mrs. King's gaze, and she could have simply denied it,

which would have avoided many troublesome situations.

But she didn't intend to do that.

However, before she could speak, Mario's secretary hurriedly

interjected, "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with Miss King. It's

Mr. King..."

“I didn't ask you. I'm asking her now." Mrs. King had always maintained

a gentle image, but when it came to Mario's matters, her attitude

became very firm. Perhaps that was the kind of motherly love that could

only be shown to one's own child.

Seeing Sienna'’s prolonged silence, Mrs. King's tone became urgent

and cold. She asked, "Tell me, did you do it?"

"Yes, it was me." Sienna responded in accordance with her words, her

face remaining calm without any ripples or changes in expression. She

said in a plain tone, "It was me."

In an instant, Mrs. King became furious. Her eyes widened as she

glared at Sienna and questioned angrily, "How could you do this? What

have we, the King family, ever done to wrong you? Have I mistreated

you since you came to our family? Or is it your way of getting back at

me for what I did in the past?"

Sienna's face remained unchanged, without any extra emotional

fluctuations. She calmly looked at Mrs. King and said softly, "I never

thought that way. That matter is in the past, and I understand that your

decision was the right one. So I never thought of seeking revenge

because of it."

"If that's the case, then why did you do this to me? Why did you hurt

Mario? Do you think that because he has been so nice towards you,

you can just hurt him at will?" Mrs. King was extremely angry, and her

cousin continued to add fuel to the fire. Under Mrs. King's impulsive

outburst, she declared, "Since this is how you repay the King family,

then the King family can no longer have you. From now on, you're no

longer a member of our family, and our relationship as mother and

daughter is completely over."

Sienna stood there motionless, without any response. Mrs. King's

words brought a hint of indescribable sadness to her heart, but amidst

that sadness, she could clearly feel a sense of relief from head to toe.

Such thoughts might be considered heartless, especially considering

how well Mrs. King had treated her. Apart from being strict with her

regarding Mario, she had never lacked in any other aspect.

But some things had changed, and if they continued to force it and

persist, no one would be happy.

Instead of that, it would be better for her to take the initiative to distance

herself. At least that way, everyone could be happy.

Sienna nodded and responded in an especially soft voice, “I

understand.”

Mrs. King no longer looked at her and said indifferently, "Leave him

starting tomorrow.”

Then, Mrs. King walked past her towards the elevator, and before

entering it, she also threw the juice she held into the trash can.

Sienna noticed every movement, but she didn't say a single word.

Mario's secretary was already sweating coldly. He began to imagine

that if Mario learned about what had just happened, he might lose his

job.

He spoke in a low voice, "Miss King, you..."

Sienna interrupted him with just a few words, "You heard it too. It was

my mother who said it, not something I suggested. So I won't go to the

ward."
