A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 60 I'm Late

The scorching sunlight poured down on Sierra, but she felt no warmth. Her eyes were fixed on the three-way intersection ahead.

Just a little longer if she could make it there, she could hail a cal

But she hadn't eaten all day, and escaping through the window had drained much of her energy. After walking for so long, her body felt utterly exhausted, and her eyes were beginning to blurnoveldrama

“Sierra, just hold on a bit longer. You can't collapse now." She forced herself to stay strong, giving herself a mental pep talk as she pinched the flesh on her thigh. It brought her a few seconds of clarity, but her vision quickly blurred again.

When Theo drove by, he spotted Sierra immediately. A glimmer of light flashed

thed in his eyes as he quickl

quickly stopped the car, opened the door, and ran toward her.

Sierra vaguely saw a dark figure rushing toward her, but she couldn't make out the person's face. Her body swayed unsteadily until she could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the ground

Theo caught her in his arms, dropping to one knee as he cradled her in his embrace.

“Sun?” He called her softly as he gently stroked her hair. “I'm sorry, I'm late.”

The familiar scent of cold sandalwood on his body filled Sierra's senses. Her tense body relaxed completely. She grabbed his arm and summoned all her strength to speak “Uncle Theo..... 1 didn't delete your contact information."

“I know. You wouldn't do that.” Theo held her tightly, and his voice was incredibly soft and tender

Hearing his voice, Siema smiled faintly, but a stream of tears rolled down her face. “Uncle Theo, my feet really hurt."

Hertears fell onto Theo's palm, and the pain seemed to seep straight into his heart, leaving him flustered.

His bloodshot eyes brimmed with anguish. His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the hospital."

She tried to keep her eyes open to look at him, but her eyelids felt unbearably heavy. It was moments later that she sank into darkness.

It was already the next morning when she woke up again. The familiar smell of disinfectant filled her nose, informing her she was back in the hospital She opened her eyes and saw the overhead lights in the hospital

room.

"Cee, you're finally

Madison stood up from her chair as soon as she saw Sierra wake up, and her face lit up with joy.

"Maddy,” Sierra called softly, her voice barely audible. Her lips were also dry and cracked.

"Don't move. I'll call the doctor," Madison spoke gently before pressing the call button to get the doctor there. Soon, the doctor arrived with a nurse and performed a quick examination on Sierra. "She's line now. Let her drink some water first, then have some easily digestible food. Later, we'll give her a few more bottles of nutrient fluids, and she should be fine."

“Alright, thank you, doctor, Madison expressed her gratitude.

After the doctor left, she poured a glass of warm water, dipped a cotton swab into it, and gently moistened Sierra's dry lips. Once Sierra seemed better, she adjusted the hospital bed to a slightly upright position, and helped her drink some wann water.

Siemadelt her throat ease significantly. “Thank you, Maddy."

“Come on, what's with the formality between us? Do you even low how much you scared me? When I got Theo's call and rushed to the hospital, my legs nearly gave out seeing you so pale and unconscious on the bed. I couldn't stop crying!"
