Kathy leaned on her brother's shoulder and choked for a long time. Then she raised her head sullenly, but her fingers touched the scar on his right cheek, "I'm crying for your face..."
She looked at the scar on his face distressedly. Her eyelashes were covered with tears, and she grumbled, "Although this scar doesn't affect your handsomeness at all, I still feel distressed... Why there is a scar on your face?"
Marlon's eyes were deep-set. He didn't tell her that it was left when he was in prison.
He didn't want his clean and innocent sister to step into his world.
Seeing that Marlon didn't answer, Kathy didn't ask any more wittily. Maybe it was something sad that her brother didn't want to mention anymore.
"Do you know that I have been looking for you for a long time? Mother and I are both worried about you..."
Marlon didn't explain anything, just reached out and gently wiped away her tears, "It’s my fault... Brother will protect you from now on. Don’t cry, okay?"
She responded softly. Then she bit her lip obediently and stopped letting the tears flow.
Marlon looked at her worriedly. "Has Joseph been bullying you? Brother can help you teach him a lesson."
Kathy immediately grabbed his arm and shook her head, "We won't talk about him anymore. He has nothing to do with us."
Marlon looked at her and met Kathy’s expectant eyes. She was his sister, so he naturally spoiled her and didn't refute her.
"Brother, let's leave here and go to London right away. Mom misses you too."
"It's not the time yet." Marlon said solemnly.
Kathy followed Marlon back to the apartment where Waldron brought her to live in last time. "I will send someone to guard you. If you need anything, tell Waldron. He will prepare for you."
After Marlon sent her back, he changed his clothes and was about to go out again.
"Don't worry, no one will take you away this time. Have a rest at ease."
Kathy nodded obediently. Looking at her brother was so eager, she asked in confusion, "Then where are you going?"
"Look for your sister-in-law."
Kathy was stunned.
"Then you have to bring her to see me." Kathy blinked.
She was very curious about her brother's woman.
After all, Marlon was so good-looking and so temperamental that she didn't even think of a woman worthy of her brother.
"You know her," Marlon said.
"Huh?" Marlon had already left before Kathy recovered.
Did she know?
Kathy thought for a long time, but still didn't figure out who she was...
She stayed in the apartment alone. Although Waldron would be there, he was more like an invisible existence, and would not appear in front of her when nothing happened.
She just planned to watch TV, but before she took the remote control, the phone next to her rang first.
Her hand stopped in the air. Joseph was so overbearing some time ago that he only allowed her to use phone to contact him.
She lowered her head and glanced at her clean hand. She had wiped it clean when she was in the car, but she could still clearly recall the stickiness and warmth when her hand was full of blood.
At the moment she was lost in thought, she unconsciously pressed the answer button.
Holding her breath, she curled up on the sofa and held a pillow in her hand.
The man's muffled voice gradually sounded, with a bit of mockery, "You are still willing to answer my phone. Is it because you pressed the wrong button?"
Kathy frowned. She didn't like Joseph's tone very much, so she answered tonelessly, "Right."
