Chapter 1094 I Don''t Want To Go Home


    The living room''s television channel was in flux, shifting and morphing into something new.


    Sophia let out a tired yawn, feeling heavy-eyed. J urged her to rest, so Sophia slowly began her


    walk to retire for the night.


    The front door then opened and closed shut. J looked up and noticed that Elizabeth had


    returned from seeing Frank off downstairs.


    A sense of unease crept over J as she asked, "Is Frank upset?"


    The realization suddenly dawned on her that she had been too harsh on Frank.


    "He''s not upset. He left with a smile on his face," Elizabeth said as she walked over, sat down, and


    switched the TV channel. "He won''t inform Brandon about it, so don''t worry. Just stay here."


    "I already told Frank in the kitchen earlier. Please don''t take it out on him because of me. I can


    handle my issues with Brandon." J was anxious that Frank and Elizabeth might argue because


    of her.


    "It''s fine. Despite Frank''s usual aloofness, he''s quite timid. I was only trying to shake him a bit, and


    he quickly promised not to tell Brandon," Elizabeth chuckled and exined.


    "You two seem to get along well." A smile graced J''s lips. As she realized they were alone, her


    thoughts soon drifted back to Brandon.


    Elizabeth noticed she was preupied and hesitantly asked, "Did you and Brandon fight? Usually,


    you two seem to have a good rtionship. For you to have run away from home, something big


    must have happened."


    J was seated on the sofa, feeling depressed. Elizabeth couldn''t tell what was going through


    J''s mind, but a tinge of sadness was visible on her beautiful profile. Once someone who loved


    to talk andugh, J was now unusually quiet and withdrawn.


    "It''s not that big of a deal." J didn''t want to discuss it any further.


    As J withdrew from the conversation, Elizabeth''s expression grew increasingly solemn. She


    had a sinking feeling that something terrible had happened to her friend. Worried, Elizabeth asked


    hastily, "Please tell me the truth, J. Is it bad? What did Brandon do to you? Did... Did he assault


    you?"


    J shook her head with a faint smile, deciding she shouldn''t disclose to others that Brandon had


    once suffered from amnesia. She didn''t delve into the details but replied, "No, he didn''t physically


    hurt me. Don''t worry too much. However, he hid something significant from me. Everyone around


    him was aware, and I was the only one left in the dark for a long time, like an idiot. That''s why I''m


    mad."


    Elizabeth furrowed her brows and said firmly, "I''m on your side. As a couple, Brandon shouldn''t


    have kept anything from you."

    When she finished speaking, Elizabeth looked somewhat concerned. "But then again, running away


    from home isn''t a solution. You could have just had a heated argument with him at home instead of


    leaving with such a heavy suitcase."


    "I couldn''t bear to stay at home and see his stupid face!" J replied, her voice filled with sadness.


    "Were your parents aware of it? Maybe you can stay at your parents'' house before you and


    Brandon sort things out." Elizabeth was concerned that J might not wish to remain here any


    longer and she


    couldn''t really make her stay in that case. Therefore she believed it would be preferable to


    encourage J to stay with her parents. At least they could keep her safe.


    When Johanna and Beal were mentioned, J''s facial expression became more intricate. She


    rified, "I cannot go back to them either. They aided Brandon in concealing it from me."


    She remained furious, and the possibility of returning home and having a heated argument with her


    parents was high.


    Nheless, after hearing a reminder from Elizabeth, J recollected that Johanna appeared


    unwell before she left. Her parents had been kind to her ever since she was found. Specifically,


    Johanna had nearly spoiled her.


    As J contemted her mother''s worry for her, she began to feel remorseful. Hastily, she


    retrieved her coat and announced, "Elizabeth, I have to step out for a while and may returnte."


    "You shouldn''t go out sote because it''s dangerous. Wait until tomorrow." Elizabeth immediately


    halted her.


    J tossed and turned while lying on the sofa even after midnight. She gazed at her cell phone


    while contemting whether or not she should contact Brandon to inquire about Johanna.


    Her phone instantly lit up.


    A message from Brandon appeared, informing her that Johanna was in good condition. She had


    been better after taking the medicine that the doctor had prescribed.


    A bitter smile crept onto J''s face as she couldn''t control her conflicted emotions, causing her


    eyes to be slightly reddened. Brandon seemed to understand her all too well.


    J couldn''t help but wonder why someone who seemed to read her thoughts, like Brandon,


    would


    choose to deceive her.
