"That's not a reason to break up with someone," Daniel said. He leaned his head on Sienna's shoulder and closed his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks.His voice was hoarse as he whispered, "Sisi, I love you deeply. When I was at my lowest, ready to give up on everything, it wasn't the desire to live that kept me going."It was my love for you. Your love motivated me to pull myself together, to undergo risky surgery, and to work in this city just to be near you."His desperation was clear as he pleaded, "Please, just give me more time. Two months isn't enough for you to fall in love with me."Sienna was crying uncontrollably. The more Daniel's words touched her, the more painful she felt. It felt like a thousand needles piercing her heart, the pain seeping into her bones.What had she done to deserve such deep love from a man?She could be selfish and make Daniel quit his job as an anti-drug officer. It would give them a chance to be together. But she couldn't bring herself to d

"You…" Shelly felt her heart soften at his words. She was deeply moved and at a loss for words."I haven't shared these thoughts with Sienna. I'd appreciate it if you didn't either, to spare her any trouble," Daniel said.He nodded politely before saying goodbye. "Mrs. Lawson, I'll be taking my leave now. I won't take up any more of your time."With that, Daniel turned and walked away.Returning to her senses, Shelly hurriedly followed him while holding the gifts out. "Mr. Morrison, please take these with you."Daniel was already in his car. He politely replied, "Mrs. Lawson, those are all for you. They're not too valuable. Please keep them."He waved before driving off.Shelly stood by the door, utterly stunned. She glanced down at the hefty bags of gifts clutched in her hands.Out of all the men Sienna had dated, Daniel stood out as the most handsome and courteous. It was unfortunate that he worked as an anti-drug officer.Shelly returned to unwrap the gifts she'd received.

Sienna and Jane were two ordinary women. They felt incredibly nervous about investigating a case in the remote mountains.Jane gulped and suggested, "Sienna, why not ask your boyfriend for help? He's more experienced than you.""We're not together anymore," Sienna replied casually.Jane was surprised. "What? You broke up?""Yeah, it's been a week."Jane sympathized with Sienna and tried to comfort her by patting her shoulder. "Don't be sad, Sienna. If he can't see how amazing you are, it's his loss."You're beautiful and charming, and you'll easily find someone better."Sienna remained composed as she replied, "I was the one who ended things."Jane was completely puzzled and pushed Sienna in frustration. "Are you serious? If you don't want him, why not give him to me?""He wasn't interested in you," Sienna said while regaining her balance. She focused on scanning the area within the iron mesh."You leave me speechless. You don't even appreciate what you have. Where will you f

Sienna didn't shed a tear. She couldn't bring herself to. Instead, she clenched her fists under the table, her eyes ablaze with anger as she glared at Vivian sitting across from her.Her fury toward Vivian was so intense that she wanted to tear her apart. The very sight of Vivian filled Sienna with disgust.And yet, Vivian dared to cry? It only fueled Sienna's rage even more!Vivian reached for a tissue to wipe her tears and continued, "Afterward, I made it home safely, but Daniel had been tortured so severely that survival seemed impossible."Everyone believed he was gone, and his body was thrown into the sea."Sienna's eyes welled up with tears. She spoke with frustration, "But he somehow pulled through. Where were you during his toughest times? You never visited him. Is it because he was disabled?"Vivian hurriedly shook her head, tears pooling as she locked eyes with Sienna. "No, it's not like that. I couldn't bring myself to see him because of Nathan.""Nathan Morrison?" Si

"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
