I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 248

"I need to go to the hospital now," Sienna said abruptly. "To get Lily's medical evaluation done."

Lily blinked in surprise and glanced at Isaac.

Isaac cleared his throat gently.

"You two go ahead. I'll make a few more rounds and see what else I can find out. I'll call you as soon as I have news."

Sienna's face remained utterly blank as she gave a stiff nod.

Noah stepped up beside her.

"Sienna, are you okay?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Sienna turned her attention to the bandage on Lily's forehead.

"Since you've filed the police report, we need that evaluation. You are not taking this abuse lying down."

Lily nodded fiercely.

"Whatever you say. I'm following your lead."

Mercy International Hospital.

To avoid any conflict of interest, Sienna arranged for another physician to conduct Lily's injury assessment.

Once the evaluation was complete, Sienna instructed Noah to drive Lily home.

Lily paused at the doorway and turned back.

"Sienna, are you sure you're okay by yourself? I can stay with you."

"I barely slept a wink last night. I'm exhausted, I just want to rest for a bit."

Lily didn't push it and left.

The hallway was completely empty, leaving Sienna entirely alone.

She stood by the window, watching Noah's car pull out of the hospital gates.

Suddenly, her knees gave out.

She braced her hands hard against the windowsill just to keep herself upright.

The marble was freezing against her palms.

After fifteen agonizing seconds, she managed to stand straight.

She pulled out her phone and scrolled to Silas Hayes' number.

She hesitated for a few seconds before hitting dial.

"Director Hayes, are you back in Metropolis?"

"What is it?" Silas's tone was cool and detached.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but do you happen to know if there was an emergency with the Fletcher family yesterday?"

"Why do you ask?"

Sienna deflated. It was undeniably intrusive to interrogate him like this.

"I apologize. Never mind, I shouldn't have bothered you." She moved to end the call.

Silas suddenly spoke up.

"I'm in my office at the hospital. Whatever you want to ask me, come here and ask it directly."

This time, Sienna didn't hesitate.

"Understood. I'll be right there."

The door to Silas's office was cracked open.

Sienna stood at the threshold, not stepping inside.

Silas looked up, spotted her, and set down his pen.

"It does."

"I'll go."

The event was held at an exclusive private club.

The lighting was dim, the crowd was sparse, and every guest mingling in the room was elite high society.

Sienna had been completely transformed by Silas's styling team.

Adorned in a luxurious couture gown and flawless makeup, she looked like a completely different person from the woman who had been running herself into the ground just hours prior.

She stayed close to Silas as people approached to exchange pleasantries. He introduced her simply as "Dr. Sterling, a colleague from Mercy International."

The guests' gazes instantly sparked with heightened curiosity.

Sienna paid them no mind.

Her eyes were scanning the room, searching for Felicia.

She finally spotted Felicia in a corner, chatting with a small group.

Sienna found an opening and approached her.

When Felicia saw her, a warm smile spread across her face.

"Dr. Sterling, I didn't expect to see you here. My brother rarely brings a date to these things."

Sienna got straight to the point.

"Felicia, Silas specifically asked me to attend tonight. Is it related to the Fletcher family? I'm completely in the dark, and I'm terrified of saying the wrong thing."

Felicia's smile faded, replaced by a sigh as if recalling something tragic.

"Ah, life is just so unpredictable."

Sienna's heart slammed into her throat...
