Chapter 205
Elliot had just finished a meeting. His secretary told him that Cain had gone to explore some nearby attractions. He didnโt suspect anythingโafter all, he knew Cain wasnโt the type to sit still for long.
Not long after, his phone rang. Seeing an unfamiliar domestic number, he still decided to pick up. The moment he answered, Jamarโs voice came through. โDad, are you free right now?โ
Elliot was slightly surprised but responded, โYes, Iโm free. Whatโs up?โ
Jamar sighed helplessly. โWell, thereโs a bit of a situation. So, Cain came looking for me and Joshua just now, asking us to help take care of Sienna. But weโre in the middle of a live variety show, and besides, we had a bit of a fallout with her before, so itโs really inconvenient for us to go.โ
โBut Cain just kept staring us down, and we had no choice but to turn to you.โ
Then, he deliberately added, โDidnโt you take Cain away before? How did he end up in Darmechia?โ
Elliotโs expression instantly darkened. He never expected that Cainโs so-called sightseeing trip would lead him straight to Darmechia. It was obviousโhe had gone to find Sienna. Not only was he taking care of her himself, but he was even trying to drag his two brothers into it. Unbelievable.
He asked, โSo, he went to the hospital to take care of Sienna?โ
โYeah,โ Jamar confirmed. โHe said he came specifically to look after her. He even scolded me and Joshua, blaming us for not taking care of Sienna properly and calling us heartless.โ
He wasnโt exaggeratingโthis was exactly what Cain had said. Elliot frowned. โDoes he not know what happened a few days ago?โ He had been too busy to mention it to Cain before.
Joshua interjected, โOh, he knows. Sienna already told him everything. But he thinks sheโs innocent and that weโre the ones being too heartless and unreasonable.โ
Cain had arrived only to blame them right awayโif they didnโt push the blame onto him, then who else would they?
Elliotโs face darkened even more. โThat idiot. How can he be so blind? Why doesnโt he show this level of concern for Phoebe? Phoebe is the real victim here, yet heโs running off to comfort and care for the perpetrator?โ
Joshua sighed. โExactly. And he even blamed me too.โ
Elliot couldnโt let Cain continue like this. He had been too lenient with his sons in the past, and as a result, they had been played by Sienna time and time again.
โKeep an eye on Cain,โ he instructed. โIf he tries to cause trouble for Phoebe because of Sienna, stop him immediately.โ He then emphasized, โTomorrow, Iโll send someone to bring both him and Sienna back to the country.โ
If Sienna continued manipulating Cain, who knew what kind of trouble sheโd stir up? It was best to send them both back together.
โGot it, Dad,โ Jamar and Joshua sighed in relief at his words. Their father didnโt disappoint them. They could only light a candle for Cain now.
After hanging up, Elliot pondered for a moment before calling Lydia. He told her how Cain had deceived his secretary and secretly gone to Darmechia to see Sienna. He asked Lydia to personally go to Darmechia the next day with his assistant to bring the two back. Once Sienna returned, Lydia was to keep a close watch on her and prevent her from causing any more trouble. As for Cainโฆ heโd deal with him once he was back.
Lydia hadnโt expected that after Sienna contacted Ophelia, she would also manipulate Cain into sneaking off to Darmechia. She was very displeased and reluctant to go. But since her husband had made the request, she couldnโt refuse. Her disappointment in Sienna deepened, and for the first time, she actually started to dislike her. Once Sienna was back, sheโd have to be taught some proper discipline.
Chapter 203
At the hospital, when Cain returned to the hospital room alone, Sienna was visibly disappointed. โCain, where are Joshua and Jamar? Didnโt they come with you?โ she asked pitifully, โAre they still unwilling to forgive me?โ
Cain sat down and explained, โNo, one has a stomachache, and the other has a sore throat. They couldnโt make it today. But they promised me theyโd visit you tomorrow.โ
Only then did Sienna relax. She leaned into Cainโs arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and nuzzled against his shoulder. โThank you, Cain.โ
After a moment of thought, Cain said, โJoshua will be talking to the director tomorrow about swapping me in as a guest for the next episode of the live variety show.โ
Sienna blinked in surprise. โHuh? Joshua is giving up his spot?โ
Her resentment grew even stronger. โWhat does he mean by that? He doesnโt want to be on the show with me? How can a grown man be so petty?โ
Cain chuckled. โIt was my idea. Joshua and Jamar clearly canโt take care of you properly, and I donโt feel comfortable leaving you in their hands. So I asked him to talk to the director. Of course, if youโre not joining the next episode, then I wonโt either.โ
His words touched SiennaโCain was truly the one who cared about her the most. โI want to participate in the next episode,โ she said. โI should finish what I started. As long as I recover, Iโll be there.โ
She drew circles on Cainโs chest with her finger and added, โIโll be counting on you to take care of me then.โ
Cain looked down at her with a doting expression. โOf course, Iโll take good care of you.โ
It was a private hospital room with only one bed. Originally, Cain planned to sleep in a chair for the night. But Sienna said she couldnโt bear to see him so uncomfortable and pulled him onto the bed with her. As they lay down, she snuggled into his arms. Cainโs body stiffened. Since they had grown up, he had never held Sienna like this. Now, with her soft, fragrant body in his arms, he feltโฆ strange. But after an exhausting day, he soon drifted off to sleep.
As Cainโs breathing evened out, Sienna opened her eyes and smiled smugly.
The next day, while Phoebeโs group continued their sightseeing, Cain woke up in the hospital room. Since the bed was small, he had spent the entire night holding Sienna carefully, and his whole body ached. After freshening up, he called Jamar and Joshua. They told him they were busy with their live-streamed show and couldnโt come until the evening.
Cain was speechless and had no choice but to take care of Sienna alone.
That afternoon, Phoebeโs group finished their sightseeing and went to a famous restaurant for afternoon tea. Cain saw how relaxed Phoebe looked. Meanwhile, Sienna was still lying in bed, complaining about her wound. He felt frustrated.
He decided to go talk to Phoebeโto ask her to stop making things difficult for Sienna. Changing into a fresh outfit, he turned to Sienna. โIโm heading out for a bit. Iโll bring back your favorite cake,โ
Sienna noticed him watching Phoebeโs livestream and guessed he was going to cause trouble for her. That was exactly what she wanted. The worse the Jenkinsโ relationship with Phoebe got, the better it was for her. So she sweetly said, โAlright, Cain. Go ahead.โ
Cain left the hospital and called Joshua, telling him he was heading to the restaurant to see Phoebe. Joshua and Jamar panicked. โThis canโt go on! If Cain ended up getting humiliated by Phoebe and refused to join the next episode, what then? Plus, their dad had explicitly told them to stop Cain from stirring up trouble. So, they both agreed to go as well.
