In the dark of night, Angelina's obsidian pupils were brimming with astonishment. "What? My brother said that he almost risked his life for you?"
Josephine nodded.
Angelina sprung up from the bed. "How could you not know if my brother has saved you or not?"
Josephine fell silent-a blood-chilling silence.
As if a lightbulb had lit up in her head, Angelina fumbled in the dark to grab Josephine's hand, only to find that it was ice cold.
"Josephine, you once told me that after you were humiliated that year, you went abroad for a few years. The reason why you went abroad was not just to stay away from your trauma, right? You..."
Josephine grabbed Angelina's hand so hard that pain shot through Angelina's fingers and went straight into her heart. "I don’t know what really happened either, Angelina. I think that my brother was simply trying to help me cope with my trauma and that was why he sent me abroad. It was only until Zayne said those words that I started thinking closely about it and realized how terrifying this is. I even discovered tiny clues.”
Angelina asked, "What sort of clues?"
"After I was humiliated, I fainted on the spot. I was very sure that it was April 4th that day, and when I woke up, the calendar in the hospital showed April 24th. I thought that I must’ve made a mistake and remembered wrongly..."
Josephine's hands started trembling. "But I get it now. In those 20 days, I must’ve been hospitalized because something happened to me. Zayne probably helped m e out during that period of time."
Angeline felt as though a heavy rock was bearing down on her chest. Even her breathing had become shallow.
When Josephine noticed Angeline's abnormality, she cried out anxiously, "Don’t be nervous or afraid, Angeline. It’s all over. It’s in the past now."
Angeline gradually calmed down.
Josephine asked in surprise, "Did you notice something amiss too, Angeline?"
Angeline nodded.
