Sienna acted confused. "I felt sick, so I went to the doctor. Daniel didn''t reach out to me. Why are you asking?"


    Vivian looked Sienna over and smiled suggestively. She asked again, "Daniel didn''t look for you?"


    Sienna shook her head. "No."


    Vivian chuckled. "If he''s not looking for you, then who else would he be looking for?"


    Sienna pretended to be puzzled. "What do you mean?"


    With significance in her voice, Vivian said, "You and Daniel are back together, aren''t you?"


    Sienna went quiet.


    Vivian smirked triumphantly and taunted, "Quit pretending. I know you two are still a thing. If Daniel''s not reaching out, it''s probably because the drug''s hitting him hard.


    "He''s scared he can''t control himself and might harm you. He might''ve found someone else to please him."


    "What drug?" Sienna continued to act clueless, feeding into Vivian''s twisted thoughts.


    Vivian felt relieved and said calmly, "You don''t need to worry about that. Just understand that your boyfriend is in bed with someone else now."


    Sienna''s face twisted with anger as she tightened her fists. She had an intense urge to tear Vivian apart for her repulsive behavior.


    Vivian had caused Daniel to suffer, yet shamelessly boasted about it in front of Sienna. If Daniel hadn''t asked Sienna to refrain from confronting Vivian, Sienna would never have tolerated Vivian''s behavior. Sienna was determined to follow Daniel''s advice and be a supportive, understanding partner who wouldn''t cause trouble for her family or Daniel.


    She forced herself to look distressed, making tears well up in her eyes.


    As Vivian observed Sienna''s saddened expression, her animosity shifted into satisfaction, and she chuckled. "So, this is what you call love? How absurd."


    Vivian''s mockingughter filled the air. The car door mmed shut, and the vehicle slowly drove off.


    Sienna took a moment topose


    herself by the roadside before


    hailing a taxi. Once seated inside, her mind drifted to Daniel. His


    clothes were soaked through,, leaving him with no choice but to don the hospital gown.


    She gave the driver the address, intending to visit Daniel''s ce to pick up some clean clothes for him. Half an hourter, she arrived at Daniel''s house.


    Sienna searched through his closet


    and found a duffel bag. Taking a quick look at the clothes hanging inside, she noticed that while there weren''t many, they were mostly in dult colors like ck, white, or gray.


    However, his physique lent itself well to any attire, and he looked handsome regardless of what he wore.


    A faint smile spread across Sienna''s face as she neatly folded a casual outfit into the bag. Later, she rummaged around for underwear and socks.


    The cab had numerous drawers. She opened one randomly and discovered it was filled with men''s essories-cufflinks, ties, watches, pins-all neatly organized inside.


    Among them was a ck box that seemed to hold a ring. Intrigued, she picked it up and opened it, revealing a special ring.


    At that moment, she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement wash over her. Could this be the engagement ring Daniel had been nning to give her?


    She took it out, intending to try it on


    her index finger. But halfway through, she stopped. The ring was too big. She attempted to put it on her thumb, but it still felt too loose.


    Her heart sank. Hastily, she ced the ring back in its box and returned it to its original spot in the drawer.


    Suddenly, a memory flooded back to her a conversation she''d had with Wanda a year ago. Wanda had confided that Daniel was a loyal man, deeply devoted to his ex-girlfriend.


    Even though they had broken up long ago, he hadn''t pursued any other romantic rtionships. When he was rescued and discovered unconscious, he clung tightly to this ring. Realization struck Sienna. The ring must have been a present from Vivian to Daniel, exining why he held onto it so dearly all this time.N?velDrama.Org content.
