The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 710

"Excuse us, we've got some things to take care of," Finley said politely as he bid farewell.

Sienna nodded, saying, "Goodbye, Officer Wood."

She watched Finley and the other officer walk away before collecting herself and heading toward the ICU ward. She saw Shelly and Daniel seated together on a bench outside the ICU.

It was an unexpectedly peaceful scene. Yet, Sienna felt completely puzzled.

What was happening?

Sienna paused to consider. Shelly hadn't met Daniel before, so she probably didn't realize he was her ex-boyfriend. That must be it.

Sienna regained her composure and walked over. She politely greeted, "Captain Morrison, hello."

Daniel glanced up at Sienna. After a few days of being apart, she appeared weary and thinner.

Shelly was startled, her gaze fixed on Sienna.

After exchanging brief hellos with Daniel, Sienna turned to Shelly. "Mom, is Felix awake?"

Shelly gestured toward the room beyond the glass. "He is, but his vital signs are unstable, so he can't be moved out of the ICU yet."

"Did Felix mention seeing poppies up in the mountains?" Sienna asked.

Shelly clenched her fist, showing her frustration. "Drugs are still a big problem here. Hills encircle us, and not far off lie the mountains that serve as the border with the neighboring country.

"Drug lords like to target small, remote places like ours because they think they can operate without getting caught."

Daniel felt a strong impulse to rise from his seat, his muscles tensing with the urge. But he fought against it. He clenched his fists to restrain himself.

He couldn't tear his eyes away from Sienna as she walked away. His stare was filled with longing and unspoken words.

With her experience in matters of the heart, Shelly naturally empathized with the emotions of young people. She understood everything, yet couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness.

"Captain Morrison, you've seen what happened to Felix. These drug lords are ruthless. They're capable of anything, and their methods are inhumane," Shelly remarked.

Daniel knew firsthand the horrors of dealing with drug lords. To him, they weren't even human.

"Mrs. Lawson, I promise to ensure Felix's safety. I won't let anything happen to him again," Daniel reassured her.

Feeling resigned, Shelly asked, "If I don't approve of you and Sienna being together, will you resent me?"
