“I came to see your mother, with a lot more sincerity than you ever could, Matheo said shamelessly.
His cold gaze swept over the children in front of him, and he put on a show of heartfelt concern. I’m really worried about her… I just wanted to know what’s going on now…”
“You know damn well why she ended up like this,” Easton cut in, voice dropping low and cold as his sharp eyes narrowed.
Being stared at like that made Matheo’s heart skip a beat; a hollow sense of dread started to crawl up his spine.
Could they know something? The thought darted through his mind–but he quickly brushed it away. No way. I covered everything up perfectly. Besides, if they knew, they would’ve come after me a long time ago instead of waiting for me to show up here on my own.
“Easton, I don’t know what you mean by that,” Matheo forced himself to stay calm, his tone sounding extra relaxed. “You shouldn’t throw around baseless accusations.”
Easton shot him a look full of contempt, then sneered. “Still running that mouth, huh?”
Then his cold, mocking gaze slid over to Julia. “Well, look who it is. Isn’t this an old friend?”
A wicked, bone–chilling smile tugged at the corner of Easton’s lips.
Julia flinched and shrank back, hiding behind Matheo.
Her heart was racing; Easton’s eyes felt poisonous. Just one glance made her skin crawl.
Matheo picked up on Julia’s fear immediately. He quickly reached out and gave her shoulder a soothing pat, then turned to Easton with a faint smile. “Easton, if you’re mad, come at me. Scaring a young girl? That’s just low.”
“Oh, I actually find it pretty entertaining.” Easton pushed back, the edges of his eyes curling with a frosty smirk. His gaze turned even colder. “Neither of you is getting away.”
A chill crept through Matheo’s chest. His eyes flew open wide–just then-
“Family of Sienna!” A nurse came jogging over to the Ginger siblings, her voice urgent and rushed. “The patient’s awake. You should go see her right away.”
Sienna was awake? At the sound of that, Jean immediately took off toward the hospital room.
Everyone else scrambled to follow without wasting a second; the whole group surged forward in a rush.
Before they could even reach the room, Sienna was already being wheeled out.
She was clearly not just conscious but doing much better overall–she was no longer in any life–threatening danger. She had been transferred to a general ward.
Even though it was a general room, the space was lavish; everything she could possibly need was there.
Sienna was still wearing an oxygen mask. Her eyelids parted ever so slightly, her gaze still blurry and
unfocused.

Slowly, her eyes seemed to find something to latch onto–finally landing on her children standing not far
away.
In that moment, her eyes filled with tears. She’d made it out alive. Somehow, against all odds, she’d survived.
To come so close to death and still be able to see her children again… the wave of emotion crashing through her heart was almost too much to bear.
“Hey…” she murmured; the word barely squeezed past her lips, as if it took everything she had just to say it.
The Ginger siblings had been keeping their distance so they wouldn’t overwhelm her; but hearing her frail, sorrowful voice calling out made all of them move at once.
They rushed to her bedside.
“Mom, how are you feeling?” Jean asked softly, eyes lowered, her voice full of caution and tenderness.
Her heart was a storm of emotions.
Her mom had gone through hell to make it this far.
Matheo didn’t enter the room. He stood at a distance with his wife and daughter, silently watching from afar.
The last thing he’d wanted was happening—
Sienna was alive.
