Zayne eyed the two women with disgust. "Can you at least give your Jaybie some merits? That's his wife you're talking about. Can you stop being biased?"
Angeline and Josephine fell silent.
Frankly, Jay's wife was not only beautiful and lovable but also gentle and harmless-the type that any man would like.
They simply felt threatened and that was why they magnified her shortcomings willfully.
Seeing that the two women had finally stopped giving him trouble, Zayne reminded them with a straight face. "Go to bed. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow t o check your eyes. We’ll also check your ears while we're at it."
Angeline said, "There’s nothing wrong with my ears."
Ever since the doctor told Zayne about the causes and tendency of somatic disorder, Zayne had been overly anxious about Angelina's health.
Haunted by the experience of Old Master Severe's systemic somatic disorder, Zayne was worried that his sister's illness would spread to other parts of her body.
"I called you so many times but you still couldn't hear me. It's better to get it checked so at least I'll feel more
at ease," Zayne said.
Angeline let out a dejected sigh.
Zayne then raised his head to look at Josephine. "I'm staying here tonight to keep my sister company."
The fingers concealed in Josephine's sleeves curled u p slightly. She pretended to look simple-minded and said, "I’ll stay too."
Zayne was flabbergasted. "You don't need to stay here. Go and do what you were busy doing earlier."
Before Josephine could answer, Zayne added despicably, "Though there's no real value in that job of yours that will actually keep you busy either. You're just acting in all sorts of cliche dramas that destroy the viewers’ value system."
