    “Sienna, always do things within your abilities.” Donald persisted, still advising her earnestly. “If


    you don’


    care of your own health, how can you work or fight Adrian in court and save


    Stanley?”


    “You need to recover first, so you can have the strength to do other things, otherwise you’ll only end up


    being overwhelmed.”


    Sienna understood that Donald’s words were reasonable. She had been too impulsive and driven by


    her emotions.


    She desperately wanted to see Adrian fall by her own hands and to let him taste the humiliation and


    pain she had suffered.


    In a moment, she forgot about Stanley in prison, who still needed her care, as her mind was clouded by


    hatred.


    “But…”


    Sienna bit her lip unwillingly, as countless cruel memories shed through her mind.


    Donald gently patted her shoulder andforted her softly, “I have some good news for you. I have


    secured a chance for you to see your father this Friday morning.”


    This was indeed good news, like rain falling on parchednd, causing Sienna to widen her eyes in


    shock and delight.


    “Really?”


    She couldn’t believe it, as if she was dreaming.


    It was not an easy task, as Adrian stood in their way, making everything more difficult.


    Donald had to rely on many connections before finally obtaining visitation rights.


    He wanted to tell Sienna right away but didn’t expect her to faint and be sent to the hospital.


    “Of course, it’s true.” Donald smiled helplessly, handing Sienna a cup of hot water. “Would I lie to you?”


    “Thank you, thank you…”


    Sienna didn’t know what else to say. Her eyes were filled with tears, blurring her vision.


    Seeing Stanley was indeed rare and joyous news for her.


    However, so many things had happened recently that she didn’t know how to face Stanley.


    Lara’s passing, her own trials, and the plight of the McKinney family andpany. Each was a

    devastating blow.


    Even if Sienna wanted to hide it, Stanley knew her too well not to see through her.


    “Just go and see him with an open heart.” Donald seemed to know what Sienna was thinking, smiling


    gently. “Don’t worry about anything else.”


    The more she thought, the heavier her steps became. Donald believed that Stanley was also eager to


    see his beloved daughter, and nothing couldpare to the precious minutes spent together during


    their visit.


    Donald always considered her feelings, and Sienna was very grateful.


    She followed his advice and stayed in the hospital for treatment and observation until she had mostly


    recovered two dayster. Then, shepleted the discharge procedures.


    Their first order of business after leaving the hospital was to visit Stanley in prison.


    Excited to see Stanley, Sienna couldn’t sleep the night before, staring at the white ceiling and


    wondering what to say.


    Despite racking her brain all night, she was still at a loss.


    If not for Donald’spany andfort, she might have felt even more weighed down and uneasy.


    “It’s okay, don’t worry.” Donald noticed Sienna’s thoughtful expression and patted her back. “Your father


    will be happy to see you. Talk about happier things and don’t overthink it.”


    Even with such reassurance, Sienna struggled to remainposed.


    When she finally arrived at the prison and entered the visiting room, seeing the noticeably aged.


    Stanley, she could no longer hold back her emotions.


    “Dad…”


    Sienna had endured too much, and for too long. Seeing her loving father and recalling their past, she


    couldn’t help but sob.


    Stanley gazed at his beloved daughter, tears streaming down his face as well. “Sienna, you’ve suffered


    so much.”


    In prison, he faced a tough situation, and he figured his daughter’s circumstances outside wouldn’t be


    much better.


    Since Adrian had acted against Stanley and the Mckinney family, he naturally wouldn’t let Sienna, the


    youngdy of the Mckinney family, off the hook.


    What Stanley hadn’t expected was for Adrian to be so ruthless that he wouldn’t even spare the child


    in Sienna’s womb.


    Cha


    That was their own flesh and blood, and yet it had disappeared forever before even entering this


    world.


    “I’m not suffering.”


    Sienna choked as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.


    How could she not be in pain? She just didn’t want Stanley to share her grief.


    Sienna could bear some things alone. Stanley probably suffered even more. His weathered.


    appearance revealed a part of his suffering


    “Don’t cry, don’t cry” Stanley wiped away Sienna’s tears,forting her, “You have to be strong.


    Our family relies on you. If you’re not strong, what will your mother do alone?”


    The mention of Lara made Sienna’s heart feel as if it had been struck twice, causing indescribable


    pain.


    Stanley was locked up in prison, unaware of Lara’s idental death.


    If he knew his beloved wife had left this world, he would be devastated.


    “Dad, I will…”


    Sienna dared not look into Stanley’s eyes. He quickly noticed something was off and asked anxiously,


    “What happened? Did something happen to your mother?”


    Stanley knew nothing about the outside world, trapped in this sunless ce, unable to even find


    someone to talk to.


    Other prisoners ostracized him because of Adrian, not allowing him to eat or sleep peacefully, making


    even basic living conditions unattainable.


    “Dad, Morn was…”


    Sienna was unwilling to share the terrible news with him, causing him grief, but she couldn’t resist


    Stanley’s persistent questioning.


    “Sienna, tell Dad, what happened?”


    “Dad, Mom has passed away.”


    It was a short sentence, but Sienna struggled to say it, as if it was squeezed out from between her


    teeth.


    After she finished speaking, her tears flowed uncontrobly, causing Stanley to weep bitterly as


    well.


    “How could this happen? How could this happen…”


    Yes, how could this happen? Wasn’t it all thanks to Adrian?


    If it wasn’t for Adrian’s extermination and heartless cruelty, Lara wouldn’t have taken her own life.


    Adrian had ruined their family, causing her to lose her loved ones and nearly everything precious to


    her.


    Sienna hated Adrian to the bone, especially after seeing Stanley’s miserable state.


    “Dad, it’s all Adrian! He’s the one who ruined our family!!


    Sienna suppressed her grief and said viciously, wishing she could stab Adrian repeatedly and watch


    him bleed to death in front of her.


    She wouldn’t hesitate or regret it. The more pain Adrian suffered, the more satisfied she’d be.


    Sienna had traversed this path step by step, with each footfall leaving a trail of blood and carrying.


    the weight of agony and animosity.
