The Wrong Woman
Chapter 712

During the visit, Felix regained his ability to speak, and his mind was conscious.

Daniel and Finley introduced themselves and inquired about Felix's well-being. Upon his confirmation, they proceeded to record his statement.

Having heard of Daniel before and now realizing he was Sienna's ex-boyfriend, Felix couldn't help but hold him in high regard.

Recalling the ordeal, Felix said, "Since Sienna took Clement to court, I don't have to settle my debts until the legal matter is settled.

"But his associates were relentless. That day, they ambushed me in the mountains and beat me up brutally.

"After breaking free, I ran until I encountered an area enclosed by an electric fence. With no other option, I climbed a nearby tall tree and leaped over the barrier, landing in another tree within.

"Once inside, I searched for an exit but couldn't find one. Instead, I was chased by a few pit bulls. Eventually, I ended up in several expansive film studios devoid of sets but filled with plants resembling opium poppies. I was so shocked that I immediately hid myself to avoid detection.

"Unfortunately, fate led me to a warehouse where people were refining drugs. They discovered me and beat me mercilessly. They even stabbed me in the heart before throwing me down the mountains." Finishing his account, Felix gingerly touched the wound on his heart. The doctor had mentioned his heart's unusual position, which had saved him from a worse fate.

Daniel and Finley exchanged a solemn glance, recognizing the gravity of the situation.

The group had secured the mountain and established a film base, meeting all safety requirements, including fire inspections and police patrols. The audacity of cultivating drugs inside hinted at a powerful support. Moreover, this person must be holding a high position.

Following his statement, Felix anxiously asked, "Captain Morrison, if they realize I'm alive, will they send someone after me?"

"It's possible," Daniel replied gently. "Don't worry, I'll get someone to protect you around the clock."

"Thank you, Captain Morrison."

Daniel and Finley packed up their things and prepared to depart. As they rose, the ward door swung open, revealing Sienna carrying a lunch box. Her steps faltered upon seeing Daniel. Their eyes met, conveying a shared sense of regret and longing.

"Sienna, you're here?" Felix's voice came.

Sienna immediately averted her gaze. She hid the turmoil in her heart and calmly walked over, setting the lunch box on the table. "Are you feeling better?"

Felix nodded, casting surprised glances between Sienna and Daniel. He realized they had become strangers who didn't even exchange greetings anymore. "Rest well. We'll take our leave," Finley said.

"Okay, take care," Felix replied.

As Finley started to leave, he noticed Daniel standing still, his gaze fixated on Sienna.

Unaware of Daniel's gaze, Sienna focused on serving Felix without a second glance.

"Captain Morrison," Finley ventured cautiously, sensing the tension. "Perhaps I should go back first. You can stay-"

Daniel interjected firmly, "No need." With those words, he left briskly.

Sienna never lifted her head, and her hand froze slightly as she served Felix food. Her chest constricted with an unbearable weight, suffocating her.

Setting down the lunch box, she slumped into the chair with teary eyes and released a heavy sigh.

Curious, Felix questioned, "Sienna, I can tell Captain Morrison likes you. Is it really over between you two?"
