Zayne eyed Josephine skeptically and asked in a puzzled manner, "What's with that look on your Josephine? I'm awfully terrified when you look at me like that."
Josephine blurted out of embarrassment, "How’s Sis Shirley doing?"
For some reason, Josephine felt a wave of emotions and sentiments, especially gratitude and respect, when it came to the angel Shirley who had so silently given her and Zayne a new chance in life.
Zayne replied, "Shirley will have an operation tomorrow. I believe that the heavens provide for good people, so Shirley will definitely be fine."
Josephine smiled slightly. When she saw how much Zayne cared for Shirley, she did not feel jealous even the teeniest bit. On the contrary, a sense of calm and relief washed over her.
Josephine said, "Perfect timing, then. I'll go to the hospital to visit Sis Shirley in the afternoon so I can give her some encouragement."
Zayne was dumbfounded.
Angeline said to Josephine, "Can you pass my message to Sis Shirley? Tell her that I’m slowly
recovering now and tell her not to worry about me. When she's done with her operation, I'll be there to visit her."
Josephine nodded. "Mm."
Jay could notice the subtle changes in Shirley's identity from the way Angeline addressed Shirley.
A sharp-minded person like Jay spent no time at all to figure out what Angeline had in store for Josephine, Zayne, and Shirley. Therefore, he was determined to support his wife’s effort and deliberately matched Zayne and Josephine together, saying, "Zayne, Josephine, why don’t you two go to the kitchen and make lunch for us?"
