The line was answered quickly.

I thought it was important to inform both you and Howard Josiah rubbed his temples, trying to keep his anger in check.

How is Yvette now? Its still unclear.

The doctor thinks it might be due to exhaustion....

Yvette had been so busy preparing for her wedding, and the stress was affecting her health.

Josiah called the Flynn residence.

Linda answered, Josiah ? Is Howard at hNo, he left this afternoon with Hervey .

He thought, Howard went out with Hervey this afternoon! What were they doing for so long? I trust my brother , but there were just too many strange things happening since he woke up ! Josiah went back to the screening room.

Josiah leaned in closer to her ear, speaking softly.

Yvette collapsed on set and is going to the hospital.

Josiah felt a rush of guilt, beads of sweat forming on his brow.

Sienna, Im only going to Understood, Before he could finish.

Sienna waved her hand dismissively.

Then go she turned back to the screen to continue watching the movie .

Her quick and casual response only made Josiah feel more uneasy.

He grabbed her hand.

Sienna put a finger to her lips signaling him to be quiet This is a public place, dont speak so loudly or youll disturbs others.

I told you to go, didnt To stop any more arguments, she added, Im not upset.

Josiah studied her calm expression, trying to find any sign of discontent.

Having learned from past experiences, his anxiety stayed.

He held her hand.

If thats the case, why dont you cwith me? 1/2 WALPMI Chapter 229 Why would I do that? Sienna glared at him, pulling h movie.

her hand away and shaking her head.

You can go and take care of her : I want to watch this Could you please be reasonable ? Sienna was getting a bit annoyed.

You wont stay to watch it with me, and now youre not even lettingfinish it on my own? Tactually really like this movie.

She turned her head, refusing to look at him again or continue the discussion.

Josiah watched her for a few seconds before giving in .

Alright, you keep watching He checked his watch.

Sienna didnt even respond, just waved him away.

Josiah frowned as he stood to leave the screening room.

At the door, he paused and sent Sienna a message: [ Sienna, if I can make it in time, Ill cto get you.

If you decide to head hfirst, call me.

] After sending the message.

he got no reply.

Assuming she was caught up in the movie, he sighed softly, deciding to wait until she finished; she would see his message eventually.

Josiah left the cinema and rushed to the hospital .

When he arrived, he found Yvette already settled in her room, awake but looking weak and pale.

Josiah youre here.

Yvette leaned against the headboard.

Ive made you hurry around again, but theres really nothing wrong with me.

I just skipped lunch while rushing through filming, and Im feeling a bit weak from low blood sugar.

She pointed to the IV drip.

Two bags of fluids will fix that.

Then she scolded her agent and assistant.

Theyre always making a big fuss.

Theyre just worried about you, Josiah said, sitting beside her bed.

But I have to scold you a little.

Youre already so busy getting ready for the wedding, why are you still working so hard? Yvette chuckled softly. You talk as if its wrong forto take my work seriously.

She glanced past him, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment.

Howard hasnt come, has he! Even though Josiah had issues with m Howard The would never say anything negative about Howard. I asked them not to tell Howard yet.

I wanted to check on you first so he wouldnt get too worried Oh, I see.

Yvette accepted his explanation.

Youre very thoughtful; Howards recovery isnt complete yet.

True.

Josiah nodded.

Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket.

I need to take this call Go ahead Stepping outside, Josiah unlocked his phone, his expression darkening.

Howard, where are you? I just got to the hospital; Ill be there soon.

Okay Josiah hung up and made his way straight to the entrance of the patient ward.

He then saw Howard and Hervey coming out of the elevator.

Josiah Howard nodded at his brother ,his refined face looking a bit tired, Hows Yvette? Is she okay? Howard Josiah met his brothers gaze directly and turned the question back on him . Linda said you left this afternoon.
