Sienna got up from the bed and walked outside after looking around.
When the people outside saw her coming out, the women who had helped carry her inside were shocked and shouted, "A ghost!"
Then they quickly covered their mouths. This wasn't something they could say carelessly—if the wrong person heard about it, their whole family could get into big trouble.
Only Cuilan ran up to hug Sienna and cried, "I'm so glad you're okay! You silly girl, why would you do something like that? If something's wrong, just talk to your uncle and aunt!"
The team leader saw that Sienna was fine and turned to the others, saying, "She's okay now. Everyone can go home. Thank you for helping."
One person replied, "Don't mention it. We watched this girl grow up."
"Yes, that's right."
"Okay, team leader, we'll head back now. If anything comes up, just call us."
After everyone left, the team leader looked at his wife, who was still crying while hugging Sienna. He gently comforted her, "Stop crying. Let's take her back to our house for now."
"Yes, yes, I didn't even think of that."
She turned to Sienna and said, "Come stay with your aunt. This time, you can't say no."
After they finished talking, Sienna looked at the couple and asked, "Who are you?"
They were stunned. "You don't recognize your aunt? I'm Aunt Cuilan, and this is your Uncle, the team leader."
"I don't know you."
The woman said to her husband, "You take care of things. I'll bring her home. Go get Old Zhang to take a look at her."
She tried to pull Sienna with her, but Sienna pulled her hand away and said, "I'm not going. I need to find my master."
Hearing that, Cuilan thought something was wrong with her mind. "Okay, okay, come home with me, and I'll take you to your master."
Sienna followed her home. Soon, Old Zhang came to check her and said, "She hanged herself too long. Her brain didn't get enough oxygen. She's not thinking clearly now."
Cuilan quickly asked, "Is there a way to cure her?"
"No, maybe try a big city hospital."
When she heard that, Cuilan started crying again. The team leader gave money for the check-up and walked Old Zhang out.
Sienna went up to Cuilan and said, "Take me to my master."
Seeing her blank face, Cuilan wanted to cry again. "Okay, be good. I'll take you tomorrow morning. It's too late now, and people are sleeping."
"No, I must find my master now and protect him."
"You have to be good. If not, your master might get mad. People like obedient children, and your master will like that too."
"Okay, then."
That night in bed, the team leader and his wife talked.
"Should we still let our third son marry her like this?"
"Let's wait for him to come back and ask if he still wants to. If he agrees, then let them get married."
"Sigh, let's sleep. He should be back soon."
The next morning, Cuilan took Sienna to eat breakfast. That's when Sienna finally felt hungry. Now that she was human, she needed to eat.
After eating, Sienna asked Cuilan to take her to find her master.
Cuilan was trying to think of a way to calm her down when she heard the door open. She turned and saw her third son coming home.
Sienna also turned her head, and the moment she saw Rowan, she immediately ran over to him. She stood in front of him and said, "Hello, Master. I am 001, your bodyguard robot. From now on, I will be responsible for your safety."
Rowan looked at the girl standing in front of him. She had very bright eyes, no expression on her face, a small nose, small lips, and skin so pale it almost glowed. She looked just like a foreign doll he once saw during a mission. She was incredibly pretty.
She seemed to be about 165 cm tall and stood around chest level to him. Small and delicate, very cute. He didn't even really process what she had just said.
Cuilan looked at the girl calling her son "Master" and thought that if her son married her, it might actually be a good thing.
Rowan looked up at his mother standing there safe and sound. He didn't know if he should be angry or relieved. "Mom, I'm back. Who is this?"
"She's your sister Sienna, don't you remember? From the east side of the village."
"Sienna, go back to your room first. I need to talk to your brother Rowan about something."
Sienna didn't move. She just stared at Rowan.
Seeing this, Rowan said, "Go back to your room and rest."
After hearing Rowan's order, Sienna went back to her room.
"Mom, why did you trick me into coming back? You almost scared me to death."
Cuilan felt a bit guilty at first, but after hearing what he said, she snapped back, "If I told you to come back to get married, would you have come?"
Rowan didn't respond. He knew very well that he definitely wouldn't have come back, especially in the last two years with her always pushing him to get married. It made him not want to come home at all.
Seeing him stay quiet, Cuilan gained confidence again. "The reason I called you back was to ask you to marry this girl Sienna."
When she said that, Rowan thought about the girl he just saw. Letting such a delicate girl be with him would be unfair. She might end up widowed at any time.
He thought it was better to let her marry someone who would spoil and protect her, not live in fear with him.
"But that girl tried to take her life before and now she's not right in the head. I was afraid you wouldn't want her. If you do, then marry her. If it's not convenient to take her to the army, leave her with me. I'll take care of her. If you don't want to, then forget it."
When he heard his mother say she wasn't well, he felt sorry for her. "I'm willing. I'll take her with me to the base."
It would be better for her to be with him. At least he wouldn't hurt her and would protect her well.
"Alright, I'll go ask her if she agrees."
"Mom, I'll go with you."
At the door, Sienna heard footsteps and quickly opened the door. She saw both of them standing outside.
She ran straight to Rowan and said, "Master, you're here."
Cuilan stepped forward, took Sienna's hand, and said, "Girl, do you want to marry him?" She pointed at Rowan and added, "If you do, I'll prepare your wedding. After that, you'll go with him."
Sienna heard she could go with Rowan. As long as she could stay with him, anything was fine. She said, "I do."
Her mission was to stay with Rowan and protect him. No one was allowed to hurt or scare him.
After hearing her say yes, Cuilan quickly left to start thinking about what needed to be prepared.
Rowan walked up. This time, he really heard what Sienna called him. He looked down and said, "Call me Rowan. After we're married, call me husband, not Master. Understand?"
"I understand, but you are my master. I was created to protect you. You're too fragile."
