Chapter 83


    The man Josephine mentioned was her elder brother, Zayne Severe.


    Josephine’s feelings for Zayne was like how she felt for Jay-tragic and lowly. They were like two


    moths toward the fire. Their endings may have been different, but they were equally poignant.


    Rose felt as if there was lead stuck in her throat. She stood up, headed to the wine cupboard, and


    took out two bottles of red wine. She passed one to Josephine while the other was for herself.


    "I think you need this," Rose said.


    Josephine gave a grateful smile. “Sister-inw, you''re truly a good friend." She took the corkscrew


    and opened the bottle of wine. Once done, with two hands on the bottle, she tilted her head


    backward and gulped down the wine.


    Traces of red liquid flowed down her neck and into her cleavage. She looked rather appalling.


    Rose smiled slightly. "You''re the most un-aristocratic young mistress I''ve seen."


    Josephine sniffled. "To hell with those etiquettes!"


    Josephine drank half a bottle of wine in one go. The chatterbox in Josephine could not be switched


    off once she began. She continued to bber on. 1


    "Sister-inw, do you know? I sold myself to get Zayne.


    "The person I had sex with that night was not Zayne, but a lecherous hooligan. That man not only


    took away my innocence but made me pregnant as well.


    "When my father found out about it, he was so mad that his blood pressure boiled, and he nearly


    died from it. Later, they handed me to my big brother... He got me to abort the baby and sent me


    abroad.


    "Five years. Five whole years. Everyone thought that I went abroad to study. Nobody knew that I


    lived unlike a human nor a ghost for the past five years..." Josephine became emotionally unstable


    and cried out loud.

    Rose pulled Josephine into her embrace while her own eyes had tears in them as well.


    She gently patted Josephine''s back like she wasforting a baby.


    "Josephine, don''t be sad. You should know that living i n this world, no winter will not pass and no


    spring will not arrive. Take things one day at a time. Time will pull you out of it someday.”


    Josephine looked up at Rose with teary eyes. "Sister-in w, have you been living this way all these


    years as well?"


    Rose nodded. "Yup."


    Josephine suddenly said excitedly, "Rose, it''s a pity that we didn''t meet earlier. Let''s be sworn


    sisters.


    What do you think?"


    Rose did not know if she should cry orugh, but she eventually nodded.


    Josephine lifted her wine bottle and acimed, "Let’s cheers for an evesting friendship."


    The twodies drank till they were tipsy. They forgot about the time and the children.


    After a long time, Rose suddenly jumped up and yelled a blood-curdling scream. "Ahh... Jens and


    Zetty are still ying downstairs!"


    Josephine immediately woke up from her tipsy state and murmured anxiously, "There won''t be such


    an ill-coincidence that my brother will spot them, right?"
