Chapter 297 Cold Beneath the Heat
The lead attorney finished speaking and left with his team, giving Johnathan no time to think–Sierra was already being brought out.
“Sierra!”
Johnathan rushed forward and pulled her into his arms. He’d wanted to do this the moment he saw her, and now he finally could.
Sierra buried herself in his embrace, clinging to him tightly. It wasn’t until a long while later that she felt alive again.
When they got home, Sierra locked herself in the bathroom and didn’t come out for over half an hour.
Eventually, Johnathan couldn’t help but knock on the door.
“You done, Sierra?”
“… Yeah.”
A moment later, Sierra stepped out. Johnathan’s expression immediately changed as he touched her arm.
“You’re burning up.” He turned to grab the thermometer, but Sierra stopped him.
“I’m not running a fever. The water was just a little hot.”
Johnathan frowned but didn’t say anything more.
It was the height of summer, and yet Sierra needed to bathe in scalding water. He didn’t even need to ask why.
His chest tightened. He hadn’t realized Sierra was in such bad shape. If he’d known, he would’ve gotten her out of there earlier–even if it meant compromising with his grandfather.
“I’m sorry.”
Regret filled Johnathan as he held Sierra in his arms.
“I should’ve gone to Grandpa for help sooner.”
If he had, maybe she wouldn’t have been so scared.
What made it worse was that, even today, he hadn’t chosen her first.
Now, he was terrified she’d find out.
“This is already more than enough.”
Sierra gave him a smile..
“Mr. Yaeger, can we eat now? I’m starving.”
Johnathan looked at her for a moment, then turned and headed into the kitchen. As soon as his back was turned, the smile faded from Sierra’s face.
She looked down at the red marks left by the hot water. Even after using such heat, the cold inside her wouldn’t go away.
Neither of them mentioned the leaked lab data. That night, Sierra–so unlike herself–clung to Johnathan, over and over again, as if only that could drive the chill from her body.
Eventually, she passed out from exhaustion. But even in her sleep, she kept a tight grip on Johnathan’s arm.
