The Family 395

    <b></b><b>So </b>Completely Useless


    <b>Sienna </b><b>gave </b>a <b>small </b>nod, her eyes narrowing. “You’re probably right… these events really do seem like the <b>work </b>of the same person. The pattern’s the same ruthless, and not a trace left behind<b>. </b>The methods are just too <b>simr</b><b>…</b>”

    As <b>she </b>spoke. Sienna clenched her fingers tightly; her face twisted slightly with tension.


    Seeing how pale she looked, Jean quickly spoke up. “Mom, are you okay?”


    “I’m fine…” Sienna pressed her lips together, trying to appear calm, but the storm behind her eyes betrayed her fragile state.


    Jean noticed her hands were shaking.


    Her fingers twisted together, trembling slightly at the tips.


    “I just suddenly feel like…” Sienna let out a long sigh, sorrow welling in her gaze, “I’m sopletely useless<b>…. </b>I can’t even protect my children…‘


    As she said this, Sienna suddenly crouched down.


    She buried her head in her hands, her eyes lowered, and a faint shimmer of tears appeared in hershes.


    “Who could it possibly be…”


    Jean knelt beside her, gently cing a hand on Sienna’s shoulder. “Mom, don’t be upset…”


    “We’ll get through this, one step at a time,” she said softly, trying tofort the woman breaking down in front of her. “We don’t know who’s lurking in the shadows, trying to kill us off–but the good news is we’re still alive. As long as we’re alive, there’s still hope!”


    Jean lifted her lips into a smile, her voice gaining a hint of brightness. “As long as we’re alive, we’ll get the chance to drag that person out into the light!”


    Sienna stared at her daughter, her eyes unblinking, as if dazed.


    Jean’s words seemed to steady her. Gradually, Sienna calmed down.


    She nodded, her expression growing resolute; her jaw clenched tight. “You’re right… I can’t fall apart. I have to expose whoever did this, and I still have to protect all of you…‘


    Once Sienna was finallyforted, Jean stood back up and resumed the search for Samuel’s asthma. medication.


    Even though the odds were high that it had already been destroyed, she wasn’t ready to give up just yet.


    She wanted to keep looking….


    Jean’s gaze swept across the floor, scanning the carpet–and then, suddenly-


    Her eyes lit up; her brows lifted in excitement.


    She almost broke into a run toward the couch, then dropped straight to the floor.


    The sudden movement caught Siennapletely off guard.


    <b>Chapter </b>395 So <b>Completely </b>Various


    <b>She </b>stared, wide–<b>eyed</b>, Jean, <b>what </b>are <b>you </b>doing?


    <b>Jean </b>didn’t answer<b>. </b><b>Lying </b>on her stomach, she reached as far as she could beneath the <b>couch </b>


    <b>After </b>a <b>long </b>moment of fumbling, she finally pulled out a small white pill.


    Found it!<b>” </b>Jean beamed as she stood up, holding the pill tightly in her fingers.


    This <b>is</b><b>…</b><b>” </b>Sienna stared at the pill in Jean’s hand, asking cautiously, “Your brother’s asthma medication


    <b>“</b>Yeah<b>.</b>” Jean let out a breath of relief without thinking.


    Even though the whole bottle was gone–likely destroyed by the mastermind–who would’ve thought <i>a </i>stray pill had slipped through the cracks and rolled under the couch?


    A single pill, left behind on the floor…


    If she hadn’t been paying such close attention, she might’ve missed itpletely.


    Jean didn’t waste a second. The moment she had the pill, she handed it off to the doctors for analysis<b>. </b>


    Once they knew what had been done to the medication, they could treat Samuel properly and try to <b>save </b>his life.


    Of course, the test wouldn’t be instant–it would take time to


    get the results.


    Sienna, worried that Jean might exhaust herself, insisted she go home and get some rest.


    She stayed behind at the hospital to watch over Samuel herself.
