Chapter 317 With the holidays around the corner , Sienna and Tara were busy preparing for Christmas Day .
As arranged with Rosie carlier , Sienna headed to the nursing home two days in advance to pick her up .
Since Sienna wasnt a direct relative , it actually took some time to complete the paperwork .
Finally done ! After returning .
Sienna helped Rosie pack her things hope I didnt forget anything .
If I did you can borrow mine .
Okay , Rosie replied with a smile , nodding .
Cu Hey , Sienna suddenly exclaimed , looking bewildered .
Why do you have so many Christmas goodies here ! Is it a lot Rosies eyes were a bit unclear .
Jane said they came from the nursing home .
The nursing home really thought this through .
Sienna casually flipped through the items , feeling a strange familiarity … These items were just like the ones Josiah had sent her a few days ago .
The stuff from the nursing home was surprisingly nice .
Sienna frowned, sensing an indescribable feeling bubbling up inside her .
Sienna Rosie had finished getting ready .
Can we go now ! Sure ! snapped back to reality and went over to help Rosie up .
Lets go home .
Sunshine Neighborhood was pretty safe .
Daniel had no idea she was there , so they could enjoy the holiday without worry .
The day before Christmas Day , bright and early , Joyce woke up .
Sienna dressed her in a red sweatshirt , tying her hair into two little buns on the sides , and even added a touch of red lipstick on her forehead .
All done !* Joyce dashed to the mirror and couldnt stop admiring herself .
Wow , I look fabulous ! Ha ! Sienna couldnt hold back her laughter .
Haha , Rosie chimed in , also grinning .
Joyce is so adorable ! Joyce turned around and corrected her , Rosie , its fabulous , fabulous .
Right , right Rosie laughed , switching her wording .
I misspoke .
Its fabulous ! Sienna ruffled Joyces buns .
Be a good girl and play with me , okay ? I cant see very well , so you have to take care of me , alright ? Yeah , I know Joyce nodded seriously and then asked , Mom , when is Josiah coming over ! The little one hadnt forgotten Josials promise .
Upon hearing Joyces question , Sienna paused .
Ever since that night , she hadnt heard anything from Josiah He probably wasnt back in Jelacrity yet .
She wasnt sure if hed be able to come tonight .
Mommy , mommy Joyce tugged at her mothers shirt .
Hurry and tell me ! Joyce , sweetie.
Tara jumped in , smiling to help Sienna out of the tight spot 7:31 AM & .
Chapter 317 Its your secret pact with Josiah .
Your mom doesnt know either .
Besides , look at the time ! He said hed come over to keep you company for Christmas Eve Its still bright out , were not in a rush Do we have to wait until its dark ? Joyce pouted , peering out at the glaring afternoon sun .
Oh , fine ! Ill just go hang out with Auntie All day long had been busy and bustling .
The Christmas eve dinner was prepared by Sienna and Tara together .
Although there werent many people , they still set up a huge table .
To avoid waste , they made sure each dish was in modest portions .
Rosie .
Joyce sat on the steps , passing a dish to Rosie .
You should eat this Thanks , Joyce Rosie smiled gently .
Youre such a little angel ! Yep ! Joyce replied , munching on her food while keeping an eye on the window .
Mom , its getting dark Keep eating , sweetheart Tara said , pulling out a napkin to wipe Joyces mouth .
Josiah is having dinner with his family right now too .
Oh , right .
Joyce replied .
As the evening approached , winter days grew shorter .
Once the sun dipped below the horizon , it was suddenly patch black outside .
Sienna flipped on the TV .
The four of them three adults and one child sat on the couch , watching TV and snacking .
Mommy , has Josiah and his family finished dinner yet ? Joyce nestled in Siennas arms , already feeling a bit sleepy .
Not yet Sienna replied , glancing outside to avoid Joyces disappointment .
She continued .
Josiah is still having drinks and taking his time with the food Oh Joyces eyelids began to drop further So , Josiah will come , right ? Are you sleepy .
Joyce Sienna asked , not wanting to dismiss her concern outright .
Why dont you take a little nap ! Ill wake you when Josiah gets here .
Okay Joyce murmured , unable to keep her eyes open anymore .
She burrowed deeper into her mothers embrace .
Mommy , remember to call me when Josish arrives .
Ok Sienna replied .
Slowly , Joyce drified into a deep sleep .
Sienna gently picked her daughter up and carried her to the bedroom , tucking her under the covers .
It was already past eight , and Sienna felt a slight pulse of uncase at her temple .
If Josiah had returned to Jeiacrity , he definitely would have contacted her by now .
OPM , at Jeiacrity International Airport , in the VIP exit , Josiah hurriedly stepped out with Yvette , followed closely by Chester and James .
He held his phone to his ear , speaking with Zach .
Im in the garage .
Okay , were heading straight over He glanced at Yvette , who looked worn out .
Were heading to the garage .
Yvette nodded , appearing more tired than usual Okay Once at the garage , they met up with Zach , Josiah looked at his watch .

2/3 7:31 AM ɗ ɗ · Chapter 317 What is it… Wette , he internipted , urgency in his voice , Tm in a hurry and really need to leave He led Chester and James to another vehicle .
As the car pulled away , Yvette stood still , perplexed .
On an occasion like this , how could anything be more important than reuniting with family ! Meanwhile , in the car , Chester , who was driving , suddenly changed demeanor .
Mr.
Flynn , something feels off with the car .
What do you mean ! Josiah straightened up , alarmed .
Its the brakes ! Chester frowned , panic creeping into his voice .
Theyre not working ! James added, Someone tampered with the car .
Its not just the brakes ; the steering wheel is messed up too The car sped forward uncontrollably , heading straight toward a concrete pillar in the lot If they hit that , it would be a disaster total wreck , no survivors .
What do we do now ! Jump , Mr.
Flynn ! Its the only way ! barking The cars speed was still climbing , and although jumping was dangerous , it was their only option .
Okay .
Josiah nodded .
The three exchanged quick glances , all thinking the same thing .
They grabbed the doors , yanked them open , and leaped out simultaneously .
Behind them .
Yvette and Zach followed closely , slamming on the brakes .
Whats going on ? Yvette shouted as she bolted from the car , Josiah ! Stay back ! Josiah shouted just as he heard the sickening sound of metal colliding with concrete .
The car slammed into the pillar .
Josiah had just landed when the force of the jump sent him sprawling to the ground .
Further aggravated by the impact , the jolt caused him to tumble violently , almost knocking him out .
Josiah ! Yvettes eyes filled with tears , a mix of fear and anger surfacing as she wanted to rush to him .
Ms.
Young ! Zach quickly grabbed her arm , stopping her .
Its too dangerous .
Mr.
Flynn wouldnt want you risking yourself for him ! As Josiah hit the ground , a sharp pain shot through the back of his head .
Everything blurred , the world around him fading into darkness .
Instinctively , he raised a hand to cradle his head , feeling something warm and sticky .
The metallic scent of blood filled his senses … It was his own .
