After the Divorce, I Took Revenge on My Ex-husband

Chapter 79

Chapter 79 I Will Repay It

“Promise me that you’ll cure my father and ensure he never goes back to prison,” Sienna pleaded.

“Adrian, now you know the truth about what happened years ago. Even if you dote on Janice and can’t

bear to punish her, you should search your conscience and think about whether the Mckinney family

has done anything to wrong you.”

Sienna had no strength to argue. In the presence of Adrian, she was at a disadvantage.

“I don’t ask for anything else. I just want you to give my father a chance to live. Rest assured, I won’t

ask for anything more.”

She said calmly and resolutely.

Adrian was slightly stunned, looking at Sienna. In her eyes, Adrian could no longer see the kind of

emotion Sienna used to have.

At this moment, it seemed that even her resentment had vanished. Why wasn’t Sienna blaming

him?

“Are you making a request or trying to distance yourself from me, Sienna?” Adrian asked.

“Sienna, you should learn to be obedient, stay by my side, love me wholeheartedly, and stop worrying

about things that are of no use. I promised to make it up to you for what happened

before.”

Adrian said, suppressing his inner restlessness.

Sienna thought, “Make it up to me?”

Sienna almost laughed out loud. At that moment, she found Adrian’s words ironic to the extreme.

“How will you make it up to me? You’re not even willing to touch the woman you love. And now, you’re

threatening me with my father’s life, Adrian… Do you really have no heart?” Sienna

questioned.

“Why should I bear all the consequences while that woman, Janice, goes unpunished?

“Fine, I can’t compete with you. I’ll do as you say. What more do you want from me? Shall I accept your

pitiful apologies and move myself to tears?”

Sienna responded, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Her words cut deep and Adrian winced.

“Sienna!”

Adrian’s slightly irritated voice sounded, and the force on his hand increased again. But because of

excessive force, his complexion became paler.

Faced with Sienna’s unwavering determination, Adrian felt a pang of sympathy, though he didn’t

show it.

Sienna fell into silence.

After a while, Adrian let out a soft sigh that dissipated into the air.

“I will make sure Janice leaves.”

He said, feeling the need to explain himself, though he wasn’t sure why.

“I owe you, and I will repay it.”

Sienna’s eyes widened in surprise, but before she could respond, Adrian spoke again.

“Come up here, sleep with me.”

A sense of fatigue surged into his mind, and Adrian’s tone eased.

As Sienna looked into his eyes, she sensed his weariness. His words carried a hint of vulnerability,

whether real or imagined, she couldn’t say.

“Come up here.

“Don’t make me say it again.”

Adrian’s icy words shattered her momentary hesitation.

The pain in her wrist brought her back to reality.

Sienna gingerly lay beside Adrian, making an effort to create some distance, but it seemed Adrian

could read her thoughts.

“Come closer,” he commanded, his voice forcing her into his embrace.

Instinctively, she struggled, attempting to move away.

Adrian’s h oar se voice reached Sienna’s ears, “Don’t move, go to sleep.”

His weariness was evident, and his words seemed to possess a mysterious power that rendered

Sienna immobile.

Adrian’s unique woody scent drilled into her nose, lingering on her nostrils and unable to dissipate for a

long time.

Adrian held her tightly, and Slenna buried her head against his chest.

What was this?

Was it pity disguised as love?

Get Bonds

Sienna didn’t want to greedily absorb the warmth at this moment. She could only perceive the

cruelty and irony in the situation.

And so, she drifted in a daze for two hours.

Sienna woke up amidst a scorching heat.

“Adrian?”

Something felt amiss, and she called out instinctively, but the person above her didn’t respond,

continuing to hold her tightly.

This action had lasted so long.

Adrian had a high fever…

His entire body burned, and Sienna’s heart involuntarily sk ip ped a beat. Gently freeing herself from

his grip, she reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.

Under the dim yellow light, Adrian furrowed his brow, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his face

Sienna reached out to inspect the wound on his chest, relieved to find no bleeding. She then gently.

touched his forehead, feeling the heat against her palm, causing her body to tense up.

She briskly walked out of the room and found Jeremy. “Jeremy, Adrian has a high fever. Please call

a doctor to come and check on him.”

Upon hearing her words, Jeremy’s face visibly turned grim. “What?! Mr. Olson has a fever again? Didn’t

you give him the medicine, Mrs. Olson?”

“Mr. Nix specifically instructed before he left that we must bring down Mr. Olson’s temperature.

What should we do now?”

Jeremy anxiously paced in place.

“He took the medicine, but somehow his fever spi ked again,” Sienna said, pressing her lips together,

her expression uncertain.

“What do we do now? Alexander took Mr. Nix to the hospital, and he can’t rush back now. Mr. Olson…”

Hearing this, Sienna turned her head toward the room. “As long as we can bring down the fever…”

Speaking to herself, she then walked back inside.

In the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water filled the air.

Soon, the bathtub was filled to the brim. Sienna removed her final white dress and stepped into the

tub.

In an instant, the cold water sent a shiver down her spine.

Ignoring the bone-chilling sensation, she closed her eyes and reclined in the tub, her cascading hair

clinging tightly to her shoulders.

Time passed slowly, Sienna’s lips trembled. She shrank her head under the water. The feeling of

suffocation made her feel as if she was back to that day.

The day she was on the verge of death, the grand feast meticulously arranged by Adrian.

“Pluff.”

Sienna resurfaced, her lips already tinged with a purple hue from the cold. Back to reality, she shivered

as she swiftly picked up a thin nightgown from the side and hurriedly slipped it on, leaving

behind traces of cold water

On the bed, Adrian’s brows remained tightly furrowed.

Gazing at his face, Sienna knew that only if he recovered, her father would stand a chance of

survival

With this thought in mind, she felt a sense of reassurance Without hesitation, she cautiously.

approached the bed, encircling Adrian with her hands and pressing herself tightly against him.

Her ice-cold body met his scorching beat, and Adrian instantly surrendered to his desires, greedily

reveling in the moment.

In the darkness, Sienna’s inscrutable emotions were concealed, and her delicate fragrance brought a

slight ease to Adrian’s furrowed brow

Her unique soft scent was magnified at that instant.

“Sienna…”

Adrian murmured softly.

Sienna’s body quivered, then she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and allowed Adrian to claim his

desires.

Making a small sacrifice for her father was inconsequential.

In Adrian’s dream.

In that boundless abyss, a ray of light suddenly emerged, melting away the scorching lava. The

frigid touch gradually allowed Adrian to discern what lay ahead.

It was Sienna…

Sienna’s face loomed larger.

Everything felt so familiar.

Adrian reached out to grasp Sienna, but in an instant, she dissipated like a mirage!
