Chapter 1005
In the dark of night, Angelina''s obsidian pupils were brimming with astonishment. "What? My
brother said that he almost risked his life for you?"
Josephine nodded.
Angelina sprung up from the bed. "How could you not know if my brother has saved you or not?"
Josephine fell silent-a blood-chilling silence.
As if a lightbulb had lit up in her head, Angelina fumbled in the dark to grab Josephine''s hand, only
to find that it was ice cold.
"Josephine, you once told me that after you were humiliated that year, you went abroad for a few
years. The reason why you went abroad was not just to stay away from your trauma, right? You..."
Josephine grabbed Angelina''s hand so hard that pain shot through Angelina''s fingers and went
straight into her heart. "I don’t know what really happened either, Angelina. I think that my brother
was simply trying to help me cope with my trauma and that was why he sent me abroad. It was only
until Zayne said those words that I started thinking closely about it and realized how terrifying this is.
I even discovered tiny clues.”
Angelina asked, "What sort of clues?"
"After I was humiliated, I fainted on the spot. I was very sure that it was April 4th that day, and when
I woke up, the calendar in the hospital showed April 24th. I thought that I must’ve made a mistake
and remembered wrongly..."
Josephine''s hands started trembling. "But I get it now. In those 20 days, I must’ve been hospitalized
because something happened to me. Zayne probably helped m e out during that period of time."
Angeline felt as though a heavy rock was bearing down on her chest. Even her breathing had
be shallow.
When Josephine noticed Angeline''s abnormality, she cried out anxiously, "Don’t be nervous or
afraid, Angeline. It’s all over. It’s in the past now."
Angeline gradually calmed down.
Josephine asked in surprise, "Did you notice something amiss too, Angeline?"
Angeline nodded.
All colors drained from Josephine''s face at once.
When she spoke again, her voice began to tremble. "Go ahead, Angeline."
Angeline covered her chest that was throbbing in pain, tears filling her eyes. With a choking voice,
she said, "Josephine, my brother used to be called a devil incarnate, the fiercest when ites to
fighting. I never won in any fights with him back then. Every time he beat me up, I could only run
home crying to m y parents all bruised and swollen. Later, Jaybie started teaching me Taekwondo.
When Zayne came back from the army, I was surprised to find that he can''t beat me in any matches
anymore.
"Every time I beat him, Zayne would just hide. He would rather be beaten up until he was all bruised
and swollen, even to the point of losing his dignity, than to engage in a real fight with me. At that
time, I so naively thought that Jaybie was awesome to have taught me a few martial arts moves that
could benefit me for a lifetime, but now that I think about it, I''m afraid Zayne’s...”
Angeline was choking so badly that she found it hard t o continue. "There’s something wrong with
Zayne. He doesn''t even have the guts to fight and that’s why he can''t win me in any fights. His
going to the army is fake. It''s all part of Jaybie’s n."
Angeline announced an even more shocking fact, "The time Zayne left Swallow City to join the army
was the exact same time you met with an ident."
Josephine let out a bitter smile. "My brother is really a genius. He has deceived all of us. Even you
were part o f the n.”

The truth seemed clear and obvious.
Now they just needed to prove it.
Bothdies were dispirited by this cruel truth and fell silent at the same time.
After a long time, Josephine sighed and said, "I really want to ask my brother about the truth. He
has kept this from me for so long. He’s killing me."
Angeline''s beautiful face was filled with tears. "I too want to ask him if he feels exhausted or if he''s
in pain from protecting all of us so well."
Josephine was in a daze.
The next day.
The bright and warm morning light shot out from the eastern sky. In a sh, the sun was already out
in full force.
