Amber scoffed, “Like that could bother me.”
Sienna smiled fairly, her good mood evident. “Let’s visit Dad first, then head home.”
Amber frowned in confusion. “Dad? Wait? He’s here?”
“Yeah, he’s injured,” said Sienna
Amber shrugged. “Oh,” she replied flatly.
Amber barely showed any emotion upon hearing that Aiden had been hospitalized, clear proof of how little care and affection he’d shown her over the years if not outright mistreatment

Amber glanced at Sienna and noticed an uncharacteristic coldness in her demeanor. Her words lacked their usual them how she treated Amber and Vivian
Aiden pondered deeply, then shook his head and said earnestly, “Sienna, I honestly can’t recall offending anyone Don’t let them get away with it.”
Linda snapped, her eyes glinting with provocation and disdain, “Sienna, it’s been days. Why haven’t you found any leads? Are you father.
