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.novelbin
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."
