“Sienna, always do things within your abilities.” Donald persisted, still advising her earnestly. “If
you don’
care of your own health, how can you work or fight Adrian in court and save
Stanley?”
“You need to recover first, so you can have the strength to do other things, otherwise you’ll only end up
being overwhelmed.”
Sienna understood that Donald’s words were reasonable. She had been too impulsive and driven by
her emotions.
She desperately wanted to see Adrian fall by her own hands and to let him taste the humiliation and
pain she had suffered.
In a moment, she forgot about Stanley in prison, who still needed her care, as her mind was clouded by
hatred.
“But…”
Sienna bit her lip unwillingly, as countless cruel memories flashed through her mind.
Donald gently patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, “I have some good news for you. I have
secured a chance for you to see your father this Friday morning.”
This was indeed good news, like rain falling on parched land, causing Sienna to widen her eyes in
shock and delight.
“Really?”
She couldn’t believe it, as if she was dreaming.
It was not an easy task, as Adrian stood in their way, making everything more difficult.
Donald had to rely on many connections before finally obtaining visitation rights.
He wanted to tell Sienna right away but didn’t expect her to faint and be sent to the hospital.
“Of course, it’s true.” Donald smiled helplessly, handing Sienna a cup of hot water. “Would I lie to you?”
“Thank you, thank you…”
Sienna didn’t know what else to say. Her eyes were filled with tears, blurring her vision.
Seeing Stanley was indeed rare and joyous news for her.
However, so many things had happened recently that she didn’t know how to face Stanley.
Lara’s passing, her own trials, and the plight of the McKinney family and company. Each was a

devastating blow.
Even if Sienna wanted to hide it, Stanley knew her too well not to see through her.
“Just go and see him with an open heart.” Donald seemed to know what Sienna was thinking, smiling
gently. “Don’t worry about anything else.”
The more she thought, the heavier her steps became. Donald believed that Stanley was also eager to
see his beloved daughter, and nothing could compare to the precious minutes spent together during
their visit.
Donald always considered her feelings, and Sienna was very grateful.
She followed his advice and stayed in the hospital for treatment and observation until she had mostly
recovered two days later. Then, she completed the discharge procedures.
Their first order of business after leaving the hospital was to visit Stanley in prison.
Excited to see Stanley, Sienna couldn’t sleep the night before, staring at the white ceiling and
wondering what to say.
Despite racking her brain all night, she was still at a loss.
If not for Donald’s company and comfort, she might have felt even more weighed down and uneasy.
“It’s okay, don’t worry.” Donald noticed Sienna’s thoughtful expression and patted her back. “Your father
will be happy to see you. Talk about happier things and don’t overthink it.”
Even with such reassurance, Sienna struggled to remain composed.
When she finally arrived at the prison and entered the visiting room, seeing the noticeably aged.
Stanley, she could no longer hold back her emotions.
“Dad…”
Sienna had endured too much, and for too long. Seeing her loving father and recalling their past, she
couldn’t help but sob.
Stanley gazed at his beloved daughter, tears streaming down his face as well. “Sienna, you’ve suffered
so much.”
In prison, he faced a tough situation, and he figured his daughter’s circumstances outside wouldn’t be
much better.
Since Adrian had acted against Stanley and the Mckinney family, he naturally wouldn’t let Sienna, the
young lady of the Mckinney family, off the hook.
What Stanley hadn’t expected was for Adrian to be so ruthless that he wouldn’t even spare the child
in Sienna’s womb.

That was their own flesh and blood, and yet it had disappeared forever before even entering this

“I’m not suffering.”
Sienna choked as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.
How could she not be in pain? She just didn’t want Stanley to share her grief.
Sienna could bear some things alone. Stanley probably suffered even more. His weathered.
appearance revealed a part of his suffering
“Don’t cry, don’t cry” Stanley wiped away Sienna’s tears, comforting her, “You have to be strong.
Our family relies on you. If you’re not strong, what will your mother do alone?”
The mention of Lara made Sienna’s heart feel as if it had been struck twice, causing indescribable
pain.
Stanley was locked up in prison, unaware of Lara’s accidental death.
If he knew his beloved wife had left this world, he would be devastated.
“Dad, I will…”
Sienna dared not look into Stanley’s eyes. He quickly noticed something was off and asked anxiously,
“What happened? Did something happen to your mother?”
Stanley knew nothing about the outside world, trapped in this sunless place, unable to even find
someone to talk to.
Other prisoners ostracized him because of Adrian, not allowing him to eat or sleep peacefully, making
even basic living conditions unattainable.
“Dad, Morn was…”
Sienna was unwilling to share the terrible news with him, causing him grief, but she couldn’t resist
Stanley’s persistent questioning.
“Sienna, tell Dad, what happened?”
“Dad, Mom has passed away.”
It was a short sentence, but Sienna struggled to say it, as if it was squeezed out from between her
teeth.
After she finished speaking, her tears flowed uncontrollably, causing Stanley to weep bitterly as
well.
“How could this happen? How could this happen…”
Yes, how could this happen? Wasn’t it all thanks to Adrian?
If it wasn’t for Adrian’s extermination and heartless cruelty, Lara wouldn’t have taken her own life.
Adrian had ruined their family, causing her to lose her loved ones and nearly everything precious to
her.
Sienna hated Adrian to the bone, especially after seeing Stanley’s miserable state.
“Dad, it’s all Adrian! He’s the one who ruined our family!!
Sienna suppressed her grief and said viciously, wishing she could stab Adrian repeatedly and watch
him bleed to death in front of her.
She wouldn’t hesitate or regret it. The more pain Adrian suffered, the more satisfied she’d be.
Sienna had traversed this path step by step, with each footfall leaving a trail of blood and carrying.
the weight of agony and animosity.
