"J..."
Galen's voice caught, the word 'sister' stuck in his throat, unspoken, as he watched Gilbert stride forward, positioning himself protectively in front of Sherilyn.
His eyes, dark and intense, glared at Galen with unrestrained fury.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh?" Galen glanced at Sherilyn, then chuckled, "What's it to you?"
"I'm warning you, stay away!"
Gilbert's disdain for Galen's carefree demeanor only fueled his anger further.
"Because of you, Sherilyn ended up in the ER, bleeding from a head wound! Haven't you caused enough harm?"
At this, Galen frowned, "That's between her and me. I'm just here to check on her."
Yuna had called him earlier, frantic with worry!
Only then did Galen learn about today's turmoil.
Ignoring Yuna, he had rushed over to see Sherilyn.
"And you think she needs your 'concern'?"
Gilbert shielded Sherilyn completely, "As long as I'm here, you won't get near her!"
"Oh?"
Galen stopped, raising an eyebrow in mockery, "Mr. Johnson, what gives you the right to stop me? You're just an ex-husband with no standing! She has nothing to do with you now!"
That struck a nerve with Gilbert!
Gilbert's body tensed, his fists clenching tightly.
"Gilbert!"
Sherilyn, sensing trouble, quickly grabbed Gilbert's arm, "Don't do anything rash!"
"Huh?"
Surprise flickered in Gilbert's eyes, "You think I'm going to hit him?"
"Don't start a fight!"
Sherilyn blurted out without thinking.
She had witnessed his temper firsthand.
