Dulcie propped herself up weakly against the headboard, asking hoarsely, âHow did I get back?â
âKyson brought you back.
â
Sally placed the bowl on the table and asked earnestly, âTell me, what happened between you two?â
âWhat ?â
ââDulcie, donât feign ignorance.
He didnât come to the company to pick you up.
You had to navigate the bus and subway alone, and then you got lost.
And last night, he asked me to change your clothes.
Iâm certain something is amiss between you two.
â
Looking down at the pajamas, Dulcie felt immensely relieved.
Despite feeling dizzy, she vividly recalled Kyson kissing her on the roadside last night.
Thinking of that, she blushed and told Sally nonchalantly, âItâs not his fault.
I made a mistake a few days ago, and heâs upset with me.
â
Sally sighed in resignation.
âStop defending him and making excuses for him.
â
A N G E L A âs L I B R A R Y
âIâm notâ¦â Dulcie smiled faintly, her complexion wan but her gaze sincere.
Sally sighed once more.
She couldnât bring herself to disclose the truth to Dulcie.
She couldnât stomach Kysonâs actions.
If he werenât her brother, she would have surely rebuked him severely.
Dulcie, his wife, was unwell, yet he didnât dare to assist her with changing clothes.
He didnât visit to check on Dulcieâs condition all night, didnât consult the doctor about her health, nor did he attend to her needs.
He retreated to the study and remained there the entire night, as though evading something.
It appeared he showed no concern for Dulcieâs health whatsoever.
He displayed such callousness.
How did he persuade Dulcie to marry him?
Dulcie loved him wholeheartedly.
How did he become so fortunate?
The more Sally pondered, the greater her sympathy grew for Dulcie.
Sally gently patted her hand and said, âDulcie, if youâre being bullied and hesitant to confront my brother, just confide in me.
Iâll support you in reprimanding him.
â
Dulcie burst into laughter and clasped Sallyâs hand gratefully.
She was delighted to have such an endearing sister-in-law.
âEven if I tell you, would you dare to confront him on my behalf? Heâs the patriarch of the Shaw family and holds sway over everything.
â
Sally was left speechless.
She didnât know how to respond.
While Kyson wasnât as stern as Mekhi and had never disciplined her, she understood his temperament well.
If she irritated Kyson, he wouldnât easily forgive her.
