Chapter 73


    Chapter 73 I’m Exhausted from Loving You


    Sienna’s indifferent voice resounded, her face devoid of any extra emotions.


    Yet, the mere act of opening the door had already satisfied Jeremy, and a smile instantly appeared on


    his face, which he struggled to conceal.


    “Mrs. Olson, pleasee with me.” His footsteps hurried, and he turned to walk towards the third.


    floor.


    Adrian had been unconscious for two consecutive days. If it weren’t for Jason’s assurance that Adrian’s


    condition had stabilized, everyone would have been consumed by anxiety.


    Who could have imagined that such a terrifying man could now lie there so quietly and weakly?


    Sienna was led to Adrian’s room, and Jeremy considerately opened the door for her before silently


    retreating.


    For a moment, there were only two people left in the entire space.


    Sienna, standing still, and the man on the bed, oblivious to everything else.


    It was eerily quiet. Upon confirming the steady sound of Adrian’s breathing, Sienna slowly approached,


    aided by the faint light that allowed her to see Adrian’s face.


    She rarely had the opportunity to observe his face up close, with its sharp and distinct features.


    Unlike before, the love in her heart that had long died revived memories.


    Recalling all that had transpired over the years, Sienna’s mouth hinted at a smile, showing no


    discernible emotion, yet seeming somewhat out of ce.


    After a while, she softly spoke, not sure if she was speaking to herself or to the unconscious man


    before her.


    “Why did I fall in love with you?”


    “This love has endured for so many years.”


    At this moment, Sienna’s feeble smile blossomed, unaware that the man on the bed furrowed his brow


    ever so slightly.


    Sienna drew nearer, leaning over the bed. Her agitated yet numb heart gradually found sce.


    “Adrian… Actually, I really regret it. Why did I interfere when I first met you?”


    “If I hadn’t gone to Imperial City before turning fifteen… If I hadn’t met you back then, would everything


    be different now?”


    As she spoke, Sienna couldn’t help but chuckle.


    Get Bonus


    and


    How ridiculous. In her most splendid youth, Sienna met that teen walking against the light and offered


    him a helping hand.


    But little did she expect that this person would almost ruin her entire life.


    Should she regret it?


    Did she even have the right to?


    Sienna’s ambiguous words caused the man on the bed to subtly move his fingers, but she failed to


    notice.


    “This time, it’s my fault, and I’m truly scared, Adrian… If you wake up, can you forgive me? Forgive my


    family? I’m begging you… I have nothing left to offer.”


    Sorrow permeated Sienna’s heart.


    “I’m too exhausted from loving you….


    “Fortunately, I have already decided long ago to stop loving you.”


    After a moment, Sienna’s cold and resolute words rang out..


    “Just like now, I… don’t love you anymore.”


    Tears silently slid down her face.


    Did she truly… not love Adrian anymore?


    But why, at this moment, did her heart still ache?


    Suddenly, Sienna felt her arm being grasped, and the man on the bed opened his eyes. His once fierce


    and piercing dark gaze now shone with a certain light.


    For a moment their eyes met.


    Sienna stood frozen in ce, and then Adrian weakly uttered, “Sienna…”


    With a gentle call of her name, he refrained from asking the question that lingered in his mind, “Do you


    truly no longer love me?”


    The slight tremor and emotional tone of his voice left her stunned. Countless times before, Sienna had


    fantasized about Adrian passionately calling her name.


    And now, even within her long tranquil heart, that single word… still caused it to tremble uncontrobly.


    Slenna didn’t pull away from his grip. Despite his current state of weakness, a simple exertion of force


    could create distance between them, allowing her to turn and leave immediately.

    However, for reasons unknown, she hesitated and remained rooted to the spot.


    “Come closer.”


    Adrian gazed at her,cking the strength for anything more than slowly parting his lips. His hoa rse


    voice seemed to possess a certain enchantment.


    Sienna snapped out of her daze, but refrained from mentioning that he had been in a fever-induced


    She remained silent, breaking their eye contact. “I’ll go find a doctor.”


    Turning around to leave, but… |


    “Don’t go.


    Adrian extended his hand again, gripping her arm, disying a somewhat desperate stance that


    caused pain in his chest wound, making him gasp.


    This sudden movement made Sienna pause. “You…”


    She withheld her words of concern and immediately distanced herself.


    “I’ll go find a doctor.” Leaving those words behind, she turned and headed towards the door.


    The determination and indifference in her gaze pierced Adrian’s heart.


    He copsed back onto the bed, feeling the strain on his wound, which caused fresh blood to seep


    out once more.


    However, Sienna suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, ensuring that no trace of abnormality was


    revealed. With difficulty, she came to the door but couldn’t open that locked door no matter what.


    “Open the door!”


    “Adrian has awakened! Help!”


    She pounded on the locked door. There had to be someone guarding outside, yet no one appeared to


    open it.


    Sienna seemed to grasp something, and her gaze darkened as she turned around, leaning helplessly


    against the door. No other sounds emanated from the room.


    Adrian…


    Recalling his recent movement, the pained expression on his face, her heart tightened in an instant.


    Eventually, she mustered the resolve and stepped inside.


    “Are you alright?”


    She tentatively asked the figure on the bed, but received no response.


    “Adrian?”


    Sienna approached, getting closer to the man lying on the bed, and noticed the tightly furrowed brows


    on his face, his forehead glistening with a thinyer of sweat.


    She instinctively reached out to touch his forehead, but quickly withdrew her hand due to the scorching


    heat.


    Then, her gaze fell upon the vivid red stain on his chest.


    His previous action had indeed aggravated his wound.


    What should she do!?


    The man who was usually brash and overconfident now revealed such a pained expression. The


    contrast was hard for her to ept.

    “Mr. Mckinney! Something’s wrong with Adrian! Open the door quickly.”


    Sienna returned to the door and pounded on it forcefully.


    However, Jeremy and Alexander, standing outside, wore conflicted expressions. After grappling with


    inner turmoil, they chose to remain silent and unmoved.


    Frederick had just called, explicitly instructing Jeremy and Alexander to give Sienna and Adrian some


    time alone and not to disturb them, no matter what happened.


    They were sacrificing for the sake of Mrs. Olson and Mr. Olson’s happiness!


    Inside the Yio bar.


    Jason’s face had been disying a shocked expression for almost half an hour.


    Meanwhile, after ending the phone call, Frederick’s expression became more content.


    “Adrian… bro, I can only help you this far. After this, it’s up to you. I hope you don’t disappoint me!”


    Sienna…


    Pacing back and forth, she returned to Adrian’s bedside once again.
