It was the kind of hurt that made it hard to breathe!
Exiting the psychology ward, Rose dragged her lifeless body back to the dorms.
Josephine looked at Rose. "What's wrong, Sis Angeline?"
Sitting on the bed, Rose hugged her legs to her chest and muttered, "You can't ever tell your brother about m y face, Josie."
The banana in Josephine's mouth fell onto the ground as guilt overtook her.
She had told her brother of Sis Angeline’s marred appearance long ago.
Not only had her brother seen it, but he had touched her face too.
Josephine asked ruefully, "Why not, Sis Angeline?"
"He might not take it well." Tears fell from Rose’s eyes.
Josephine sat limply on the chair...
At that moment, she perhaps understood why her ever -so-untouchable brother had shed so many golden tears after setting his eyes on her sister-in-law's face.
His heart must have ached for her!
Josephine turned on her laptop and logged in to the
game.
If Sis Angeline’s biggest worry was of her brother, then she would attack the problem at its root.
It was time to dig out the culprit behind Sis Angeline’s tears.
She texted Empire Without Sunset, 'Come online.'
Empire Without Sunset appeared in less than a second later.
Zaynie Green typed into the chatbox, 'Your woman is crying. Do something about it.'
Empire Without Sunset replied, 'Get her online.'
Josephine pulled Rose off the bed. "Sis Angeline, Empire Without Sunset says he's looking for you."
She placed Rose in front of the laptop. "Talk to him, Sis Angeline. You'll feel better, I promise."
Rose sent Empire Without Sunset a long line of crying emojis.
Empire Without Sunset typed, 'What's wrong?'
Rose replied, 'My boss bullied me today!’
