Chapter 217 Stay With Me 

Dickson,” Sierra said softly. You did well,” 

She could barely remember what had happened in the past few hours.. 

She had been lost

But Dickson had taken care of everything 

Sierra didn’t want to leave Grandma alone

She hated the idea of her being in that cold, sterile place

But she had no choice

She turned to leave with Dickson- 

Then Johnathan’s voice stopped her

Wait. The funeral staff will be here soon.” 

Dickson’s eyes widened

How?” 

He had already tried to contact them before

They had told him the earliest they could come was tomorrow

It was New Year’s. There simply weren’t enough people available. That was why they had no choice but to leave Grandma in the morgue for the night. Sierra knew immediately that it was Johnathan

He had arranged it for her 

So she wouldn’t have to leave Grandma alone

She looked at him, voice soft 

Thank you 

She wasn’t sure if he even realized how much this meant to her

Johnathan simply said. She was my Grandma too.” 

The funeral staff arrived quickly

Johnathan went with Sierra and Dickson to escort Grandma to the funeral home

Everything had already been prepared

Sierra knew Johnathan must have gone through a lot of trouble to make this happen

This wasn’t something a simple thank you could cover 

Drink this Johnathan handed her a cup of hot water

Her hands were freezing

She took it without thinking

Then, she noticed something 

Grabbing Johnathan’s hand, she turned it over

417 Stay With Me 

She brushed her fingers over it- 

And when she pulled back, her fingertips were stained red

Blood A fresh wound

Johnathan was wearing a black coat

The blood blended in 

If she hadn’t noticed the slight difference in color, she wouldn’t have seen it at all

Johnathan pulled his hand away

It’s nothing. Just a scratch.” 

He made it sound so casual

But Sierra wasn’t stupid

Winter clothes were thick

How could a simple scratch go that deep? And why was it still bleeding

Hospital. NowSierra stood up immediately

It’s really nothing serious,” Johnathan insisted

He didn’t want to go. 

If they went, she’d know the truth

Johnathan.Her voice was low, firm. Grandma is already gone. Don’t make me worry about you too. Please.” 

Johnathan paused, then he sighed. Alright.” 

At the hospital, Sierra refused to leave his side

As soon as the coat was removed and his sleeve was rolled up, she finally saw the full extent of the injury

Her stomach twisted

The blood hadn’t fully stopped

And it was clearly a gunshot wound

She sucked in a breath

The only fortunate thing was that the bullet had passed through

No surgery was needed

Still, she sat there, watching as the doctor cleaned and bandaged his arm

Her expression was unreadable

Johnathan stole a glance at her

For the first time in his life, he felt guilty

He cleared his throat

It’s really just a small wound.” 

He had taken far worse before

But the moment his eyes met hers, he shut his mouth

Sierra’s gaze was cold, sharp

Then- 

Was it Shane?” 

Her voice was tight

She had always known Shane wouldn’t let Johnathan off easily

Johnathan shook his head

No.” 

He didn’t know who was responsible

He hadn’t had time to investigate

The moment he heard about Grandma, nothing else had mattered

But even if it was Shane- 

He wouldn’t tell her

Things are complicated with my family,” he said instead. There are plenty of people who don’t want me around.” 

It wasn’t a lie

There were indeed people who wanted him dead

They just hadn’t dared to act before

Sierra looked at him, her mind racing

Then she exhaled slowly

You never talk about your family 

Johnathan chuckled

Mu 

family is complicated. I’ll tell you about it one day.” 

Then he stood up

Come on. Let’s go back to Grandma.” 

Sierra hesitated, then nodded

That night, none of them slept

They kept vigil for Grandma

The next morning, Sierra held a small, private farewell ceremony

Then she prepared for the cremation

Johnathan looked at her

You don’t have to rush this.” 

Sierra shook her head

This was her wish

Finished 

Chapter 217 Stay With Me 

Afterward, she carried Grandma’s ashes home

Finished 

She, Johnathan, and Dickson sat down together

They made a decision. They would wait until after the festival. That way, Grandma could spend a whole New Year with them. Then, she would finally be set free
