Chapter b370 /b

Thorn crashed heavily onto the bed, blood soaking a huge patch of the sheets. Sienna was bcovered /bin blood from head to toe.

Julian happened to walk in at that exact moment. The sight bmade /bhis face go pale, and he immediately rushed into the room.

“Sienna, are you okay?” he blurted bout/b, panic in his voiceb, /b

Tm fine,” she replied calmly. “It’s not my blood. Take him to the hospital Don’t let him die

Only then did Julian notice Thorn,pletely naked, blood gushing nonstop from his chest.

Without asking any questions, he hoisted Thorn onto his back band /brushed downstairs.

Sienna watched the car disappear into the rainy night. She slipped into a ck silk nightgown, her skin pale as porcin, her lips the color of blood–soaked roses, a few red marks scattered across her corbone. She lit up a cigarette.

The orange tip of the cigarette flickered between her fingers, her eyes reflecting a ssy, cold light through the haze of smoke.

Sienna just couldn’t figure out why her hand trembled when she struck, and why she felt ba /bstrange reluctance.

‘Could it be that I… No, that’s impossible, she thought.

She had only saved him back then bbecause /bshe owed him a favor.

Thom had just been discharged from the hospital bthat /bafternoon, and now, bjust /bba /bfew hourster, he was being brought back, covered in blood, by Julian

rk swallowed nervously, thinking. Could it be that Julian, driven by love and jealousy, actually tried to kill Thorn?”

“Holy crap!‘ be thought.

Is Julian really this cold–blooded and merciless? Maybe I should just quit while I still can. Is he going to silence me for good one bday/b?‘ he thought, a chill running down his spine.

“Hey, snap out of it Julian called out a few times, but rk didn’t respond.

“Huh?” rk snapped out of it, and when he saw Julian’s annoyed face, he let out a couple of awkwardughs.

“Ha, it’s nothing really, sir. Just thinking about some personal stuff,” he stammered.

“Did Thorn ever give you bany /bbtrouble /bbefore!” Julian asked,

rk answered honestly, “No, sir.”

Julian stared deeply at the operating room. Thorn, maybe you can’t live without her, but feelings bare /bnever up to us, he thought,

He was so close to being beyond saving.

As he blooked /bat Thorn lying on the hospital bed, a hint of guilt flickered in Julian’s eyes,

He admitted that he had hurt Thorn in order to have Sienna for himself.

“rk, stay here. Let me know as soon bas /bhe wakes up. And… tell him about what happened before. Never mind, I’ll tell him myself,” he uid

Thorn wouldn’t be waking bup /bbanytime /bsoon, so he decided to go bback /band check in.

When Julian returned to the vi, he saw that the light in Sienna’s room was still on. He knocked band /bwalked in.

Sienna was standing by the window, holding a ss of red wine, with cigarette butts at her feet.

“He’s fine.” Julian bsaid /bas he walked over and poured himself a ss of wine.

Sienna burnmied in response, her gaze fixed on him, “Julian, do you hate Thom?”

At that Jihan’s hand passed, his eyes is kering under his bshes/b. “Yeah. I do, he admittest.

That was the truth. No matter how gentle and easygoing he appeared, deep down, he was just a jealous, possessive guy. He bcouldn’t/b. stand that Uhom had been by her side for ten whole byears/bb. /b

He was jealous of how Mienna just couldn’t let go of Thom.

He was jealous that because of who he was, Therm could act out again and again in front of her and get away with it every time.

ced the way Thorn could love her–possessive, pented, even messed up, bbut /bstill able to show it openly.

At the same time, he hated how perfect he always had to be. With him, even the tiniest bit of darkness would leave a stain.

He really envied how Thorn could just be himself, living wild and true to his own nature, never hiding his darkness from Sienna, while he could only keep his real sell locked away

because there was nothing wing him and Sienna together at all. If she ever got tired of him, that would be no way out for him.
