Chapter 21 Mason didn't answer , just downed his drink . " So what if you did ? " another friend chimed in . " You're not in love with her anyway . Now you can finally marry Chloe . " " Get real . Chloe is fine as a mistress on the side , but she'll never marry into the Quinn family , " A third friend scoffed . " Vivian Hart , for all her faults , is still the daughter of the Hart Corporation . Ten years ago , that company was a force to be reckoned with . And don't forget , she's also got the Bayer family behind her . Chloe can't compete with that . " Mason poured another glass and drank it in one go . " Whatever . Vivian said she wanted to break up . I don't care . " " Come on , Mason ," the friend laughed . " She'll come crawling back in a few days . ' Breaking up ' is just her playing hard to get . She was willing to be Chloe's personal blood bank , for God's sake . You really think she's going to leave you ? " " True , " another agreed . " Everyone knows she was happy to be Chloe's stand - in just to be with you . " Hearing their words , the unease in Mason's heart began to fade . They were right . Vivian couldn't live without him . She would be back . He just had to wait . Back in the hospital , Sienna found a quiet corner and dialed Jason's number . Hearing her voice , Jason on the other end went from calm to chaos in a split second . " Wait for me ! " Jason called out in the phone . " Wait , I'm on my way , right now ! " Jason's eyes were red as he threw on his coat and sprinted out of his office . He slapped himself hard across the face in the elevator , just to make sure he wasn't dreaming . Ten years . A full decade of silence . But that voice … it was hers . He would never mistake it . She was back . He knew she was still alive . He had always known . He burst through the hospital doors and saw her , a vision of elegance standing by the entrance . " Sienna ! " he called out , voice trembling . Sienna turned . A handsome , breathless man was running towards her . When he saw her face , his eyes lit up . She was even more beautiful than he remembered , with a mature , captivating allure . " Enna , it's really you ! " Jason closed the distance between them and pulled her into a tight , desperate hug . " Jason , it's me , " Sienna said , gently patting the back of the man who was currently squeezing the life out of her . He was a grown man , a respected doctor , but he couldn't stop the tears from welling in his eyes . " Enna , where have you been ? Why didn't you come back ? " " Sienna ? " Vivian , worried that Sienna had been gone for so long , had come looking for her . She was met with the sight of a tall man clinging to her sister . " Sienna , " she said again , a little louder . Sienna saw her and tried to gently push Jason away , but he refused to let go . His heart was still pounding with a joy so fierce it was almost painful . " No ," he whispered . " Let me just hold on for a second . I'm afraid this is a dream and you'll disappear . " Vivian's eyes narrowed . She marched over and started pummeling his back with her fists . " Let go of my sister ! Didn't you hear me ? Let her go , you creep ! " " Ow ! Stop it , stop it ! " Jason yelped , surprised by the girl's strength . " You're going to break my ribs ! " Sienna ruffled Vivian's hair . She could tell Jason was exaggerating , but she played along . " Vivian , it's fine . This is my friend , Jason Everett . Now a very famous and respected doctor . " 1/2 19:20 Mon , 21 Jul M Chapter 21 Jason waved his hands dismissively . " Don't say that , Enna , you'll embarrass me . Look at me , I'm losing my hair from stress . If you hadn't come back soon , you would have missed my handsome prime . " Sienna smiled faintly " Alright . I came to ask if you could take a look at my sister . " Jason's expression turned serous , as well as his tone . " Come on , Enna . We're friends . Anything for you . " " Great , " Sienna nodded , then gestured Vivian , " Just follow him , Vivian . " Vivian nodded . She left with Jason , and an hour later , Jason returned to the office with a chart . " How is she ? " Sienna asked immediately . " It's not good , Enna . She's your sister , so I'll be blunt ," Jason's brow was furrowed , a look of grave concern on his face . Sienna nodded for him to continue , so he did . " She has significant trauma , most likely from prolonged bullying and abuse ," said Jason . " There are signs of recent improvement , which is a good start . But … I need to be clear . She has a history of multiple suicide attempts and exhibits signs of obsessive- compulsive personality disorder . " " Keep going . " Sienna replied . " Alright , " Jason cleared his throat . " This kind of illness has to be overcome by the patient herself - you can't just medicate it away . But your presence is key . She was only fifteen when you left , and that clearly triggered her . Her emotional state is fragile , so don't disappear again . It could cause a serious relapse . " In short , the loss of her only protector had left her vulnerable to years of abuse , and the constant stress had shattered her psyche . Sienna's gaze , which had been heavy with sorrow , now sharpened into a blade of cold , hard fury . She looked at the words on the report - multiple suicide attempts - and her anger melted into a familiar , aching guilt .
