Chapter 428 Marriage
Siena was deep in thought when she suddenly felt a tight grip on the back of her neck.
Before she could react, Bradley had her by the throat and shoved her towards the edge of the railing.
He used so much force that most of her body was hanging over the edge.
Her hand clung desperately to the railing while the other hung precariously in the air.
As she glanced downward, an abyss yawned beneath her.
A fall from here would definitely be fatal.
Her voice shaking with fear, she gasped, "Bradley, are you out of your mind?"
She couldn't understand.
Weren't they supposed to be testing Seb?
Why was she the one being pushed to the brink?
All she knew was that she was in serious danger.
This lunatic might be planning to push her off first and then Seb, leaving no evidence behind.
Bradley ignored her desperate question.
After restraining her, he turned to look at Seb, who was still in shock, and grinned wickedly. "Mr. Landon, didn't you always hate Siena the most? How about I do you a favor and push her off? Once she's gone, you'll never have to see that annoying face again."
"Seb," Siena cried out desperately.
Seb snapped back to reality and immediately rushed to save Siena.
But his strength was no match for Bradley's, and he was easily shoved away.
Seb tried to approach again, but Bradley impatiently shouted, "If you come any closer, I will really let go!"
Seb stopped in his tracks. "Don't let go; don't kill Siena!" he pleaded.
Bradley sneered, staring into Seb's eyes, his eyes fixed intently on Seb's, fearing he might miss even the subtlest shift in Seb's expression.
"Mr. Landon, stop pretending. The drugs I gave you have a numbing effect on the nerves, but they shouldn't make you act like this. Don't forget, I'm your personal doctor. I know your physical condition inside out. You can't fool me."
Bradley's words seemed lost on Seb, whose expression remained blank.
He looked at Bradley with pleading eyes. "I a lot of money. As long as you let Siena go, I can give you all my money," he said.
He then took out a lollipop from his pocket. "And this, too. The nurse gave it to me, and I couldn't bear to eat it. I'll give it all to you. Please let Siena go."
"Seb," Siena sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
She had always dreamt of the day Seb would protect her, and now her dream had come true.
Seb was finally willing to protect her, even willing to give up everything for her.
Bradley sneered, "Mr. Landon, if you're begging, do it with sincerity. I neither want your money nor your pleasantries."
"Then what do you want? Tell me! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you," Seb blurted out urgently, his negotiation style crude and childlike.
Bradley lost his patience, "As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I'll let Siena go. How about that?"
"No, Seb!" Siena screamed, then turned her fury toward Bradley. "Bradley, you bastard, that's enough!"
Bradley tightened his grip in response, making it almost impossible for Siena to breathe.
"Okay!" Seb agreed without hesitation.
He dropped to his knees with a thud, and then kowtowed to Bradley three times.
Even with dust on his forehead, he didn't care.
Bradley was stunned for a few seconds as he watched this scene unfold.
At this point, he was utterly convinced that Seb genuinely possessed the intellect of a seven-year-old child now.
The previous Seb would never do something like this, especially not for Siena.
Afterward, Siena and Seb went back to the ward, while Bradley left the hospital.
In Seb's room, Siena hugged him and cried uncontrollably. "Seb, how could you be so foolish? How could you kneel and kowtow to Bradley for me?"
Seb comforted her, "It's okay. Since you're my sister, it's only right for me to protect you. This is what I should do."
"Seb," Siena cried into his chest, overwhelmed with emotion. "Why are you so good to me?"
"Because you're my sister," Seb replied simply.
Siena bit her lip. "Does that mean you'll give me anything I want?"
"Of course," Seb answered without hesitation. "But if you want the stars and the moon, you might have to wait until I grow up."
Siena shook her head. "I don't want them, Seb. I just want you."
"What do you mean?" Seb asked, confused.
Siena took Seb's hand, her eyes resolute, and kissed him on the lips. "Seb, I want to marry you. I want to be your wife!"
Seb was stunned, a look of confusion on his face. "But you're my sister. Can I marry you?"
"Yes, you can," Siena assured him. "We have no blood ties, so we can get married. As long as you're willing, I can marry you."
Seb thought for a moment, then nodded happily. "Okay, then I'll marry you."
"Seb!" Siena hugged him excitedly.
"I can finally marry you!" The dream she had harbored since childhood was finally about to come true.
Soon, she would be Seb's wife, his person.
With the support of Richard's friends, Nina and Isabella Jewelry gradually gained a foothold.
Although Nina didn't know where Richard had gone, she understood that Richard always had her in his thoughts.
Richard might have had some unavoidable reasons for leaving without saying goodbye.
But Nina always believed that once Richard had finished everything, he would come back to her as soon as possible.
What she needed to do now was to manage Nina and Isabella Jewelry well and wait for Richard and Isabella to return.
Margaret often mentioned Sweetie liked to stare out the window in a daze recently.
She was still so young, yet it appeared as though she carried the weight of many burdens, which broke the hearts of the Jose family.
She seemed to have many worries for someone so young, which broke the hearts of the Jose family.
To cheer her up, Nina took some time to go out with Margaret and Sweetie.
They strolled around the amusement park and visited a nearby mall to buy Sweetie some everyday essentials.
Nowadays, Nina and Isabella Jewelry had stores in major malls.
As they passed by one, Margaret suggested buying Sweetie a pair of gold bracelets, so they went in to take a look.
Unexpectedly, they ran into familiar faces.
Siena and Seb were at the counter, picking out wedding rings.
Siena held Seb's arm affectionately, but Seb seemed preoccupied with a stuffed toy, fiddling with it repeatedly, as if bored by the selection of jewelry.
"These wedding rings were personally designed by our manager and are called 'Eternal Love.' They are a new release and very suitable for young couples. Do you think they look good?" the sales assistant asked.
Siena's eyes lit up as she slipped the female ring onto her finger.
She eagerly turned to Seb. "Seb, do they look good?"
