Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 216 After the examination , the obstetrician hesitated for a moment , looking at Sienna with a serious expression .

Mrs.

Flynn , Im very sorry … As these words left his lips , a chill enveloped Sienna .

It wasnt just her ; Josiah , separated by a mere curtain , felt the same.

A dreadful thought surged through their minds their child was gone .

They hadnt been able to save their child .

Ignoring the hospitals rules , Josiah hurled the curtain aside and rushed in .

Mr.

Flynn , you cannot enter ! Get out of my way ! At that moment , no nurse could deter him no one , no matter how great , could stop him .

Sienna ! Josiah reached the bedside , enveloping her in an embrace .

His gaze turned to the obstetrician , filled with intense anger .

How can you call yourself a doctor ? What kind of words did you utter to a pregnant woman ? If my wife cannot handle this shock , what will you do to make up for it ? As he spoke , he held onto Sienna , quickly softening his tone .

Its alright .

Were still young .

We will have kids ….

There will be more .

Yet as he said this , his eyes revealed a glimmer of red , misting with tears .

Sienna saw it clearly , yet could hardly believe it .

She wondered if it was possible that the loss of their child weighed heavily on Josiah too .

Ugh … Sienna frowned and pressed her hand against her abdomen , the pain in her lower belly intensifying .

This caused Josiahs fury to erupt .

What are you standing around for ? Isnt there something to be done ? If you couldnt save my child , at least take care of my wife ! The surrounding doctors and nurses exchanged glances , hesitant to speak , collectively turning their gaze toward the obstetrician .

The obstetrician , taken aback , steeled herself to explain , Mr.

Flynn , please dont be agitated your wife is not actually pregnant … What are you waiting for- Josiah , initially confused , paused for a second before realizing , his eyes widening in disbelief as he glanced between the doctor and Sienna .

Siennas reaction was more intense ; she strained to rise .

Thats impossible ! She hadnt had her period , and moreover , she had taken a test .

Josiah quickly supported her , urging her to lean against him while questioning the doctor , Have you conducted a thorough examination ? My wife wouldnt lie about this .

The doctor , drenched in cold sweat , remained composed .

After all , instances of false pregnancies were not unheard of in clinical settings .

She turned to Sienna .

Mrs.

Flynn , might I ask how you determined that you were pregnant ? Sienna recounted her situation with a heavy heart , Could it be that the pregnancy test was inaccurate ? Its possible , the doctor admitted , Though the likelihood is minimal , it cannot be entirely dismissed .

And your body may have sent misleading signals , perhaps due to ovulation stimulation medications … Sienna stopped paying attention to the conversation , tightly clutching the bedsheet beneath her .

For she had indeed taken ovulation stimulants , hoping to conceive swiftly .

But she wouldnt have thought this would lead to false pregnancy signals .

The doctor continued , In fact , Mrs.

Flynn , the most accurate method remains a blood test .

Sienna closed her eyes , feeling utterly deflated , resting against Josiah and allowing him to hold her .

Though a comical blunder had occurred , Josiahs heart was finally at ease .

Gazing down at Sienna in his embrace , he asked , Is your shoulder still painful ? Shall we consult an orthopedic doctor ? Mm .

Sienna nodded weakly .

The obstetrician exited , and an orthopedic doctor entered .

After examining her , it was determined that her shoulder was dislocated , and the doctor promptly performed manipulation to reset it .

With her shoulder secured in a bandage , he advised , Mrs.

Flynn , it is not serious .

For the coming week , avoid any vigorous activities and be careful with your diet .

Both doctors prescribed medication and explained the dosage protocol before giving them clearance to leave .

While an assistant handled the discharge procedures , Josiah carried Sienna to the car .

1/2 Chapter 216 Throughout the ordeal , Sienna kept her eyes shut , uncertain how to face Josiah after such an unexpected turn of events .

Initially , she had thought that their connection would resolve with the child she carried .

Even though she had promised to return to him for Rosies sake , the current situation was vastly different .

The revelation that she wasnt pregnant meant they would remain enmeshed in their complicated relationship .

Unprepared , both mentally and physically , for this reality , she felt overwhelmed .

Josiah , mistakenly interpreting her silence as mere embarrassment , tenderly brushed his fingers against her cheek .

Sienna , you know what ? Im overjoyed .

At those words , Siennas eyes snapped open , confused by why he seemed so delighted .

As she studied his expression , she noticed joy radiating from the corners of his eyes and the arch of his brows he wasnt lying .

His fingers caressed her hair as his gaze lingered on Sienna , warm and intense .

Although the pregnancy was a misunderstanding , for you , it was real .

You meant to carry my child to term , didnt you ? Sienna parted her lips , trying to find the right response .

He didnt need an answer ; the truth was laid bare before them .

Josiah leaned in , embracing her .

Sienna , thank you , thank you .

Pregnancy is not an easy journey for a woman .

Beyond the arduous nine months , there are risks involved , and childbirth itself is perilous .

After giving birth , one must face aging , body changes , postpartum depression , and various other challenges .

He whispered in her ear , I cant believe you would endure all this for me , for our child .

Even if the pregnancy was a misunderstanding , her intentions were genuine .

He turned his face and kissed her cheek .

Sienna , thank you .

I will take care of you ; I will not let you down .

As she was enveloped in his embrace , Sienna rendered speechless .

Compared to the false pregnancy , his heartfelt words stunned her even more .

She wondered if his words were sincere .

She was no longer concerned about whether he would betray her ; she had long surpassed the phase of love being paramount .

She merely yearned to know if he genuinely accepted that they had a child together .

He need not love her ; he only needed to love their child .

Sienna wanted to know if she could bring herself to trust him .

The assistant returned with the medication , handing it to Josiah , who then inquired , Should we go back to Silver Beach ? With that , youll need care .

Living with someone who has a child can be risky what if something happens ? your shoulder like Fate had played a cruel joke on her .

It was clear that she would have to remain entangled with Josiah .

Mm .

Sienna accepted her fate with a nod .

That night , Hervey brought good news to Howard .

We found the kid ! 魚
