"Josephine Ares!” Jay yelled and continued to pursue his younger sister.
Josephine could not outrun him, thus she had no choice but to stop and face him.
"B-big brother!"
If her brother knew that Rose fell off because she wanted to protect Josephine, he would probably kill her even though she was his younger sister.
After all, her brother doted on her sister-in-law so much.
"So you still know that I'm your brother? Why'd you run away when you saw me?" Jay felt that he should b e straightforward and honest with his sister.
He could not allow Josephine to continue misunderstanding him!
"I'm sorry, Brother. It's my fault for failing to protect Sister-in-law!" Tears streamed from Josephine’s face, and her attitude was as sincere as never before.
Jay felt as if there was lead stuck in his throat. 'It seems like Rose’s facial disfigurement is true.'
He was still holding on to a sliver of hope that she had disguised herself to cover her true identity just like how she always did when she tried to hide from him previously.
"I want to see her,” Jay croaked.
Josephine shook her head vigorously...
"Josephine..." Jay growled like a lion, "I have the right t o know anything about my wife."
"Big Brother, give Sister-in-law some time, okay?” Josephine begged while caught in between tears.
"Ever since her face was disfigured, she may not speak about it, but I can tell that she's extremely upset about it.
"It has even gotten to the point that she wishes she could hide at home all the time. She's unwilling to come out to meet anyone in her current state.
"The last person she wants to face right now is you."
Jay's eyes turned bloodshot.
The weaker she was, the more he could not help from worrying about her.
Jay retrieved a bottle of liquid and passed it to Josephine. “Put this into her drink and tell me once she has slept.”
Josephine was reluctant to take it...
