It was the kind of hurt that made it hard to breathe!

Exiting the psychology ward, Rose dragged her lifeless body back to the dorms.

Josephine looked at Rose. "What's wrong, Sis Angeline?"

Sitting on the bed, Rose hugged her legs to her chest and muttered, "You can't ever tell your brother about my face, Josie."

The banana in Josephine's mouth fell onto the ground as guilt overtook her.

She had told her brother of Sis Angeline's marred appearance long ago.

Not only had her brother seen it, but he had touched her face too.

Josephine asked ruefully, "Why not, Sis Angeline?"

"He might not take it well." Tears fell from Rose's eyes.

Josephine sat limply on the chair...

At that moment, she perhaps understood why her ever -so-untouchable brother had shed so many golden tears after setting his eyes on her sister-in-law's face.

His heart must have ached for her!

Josephine turned on her laptop and logged in to the

game.

If Sis Angeline's biggest worry was of her brother, then she would attack the problem at its root.

It was time to dig out the culprit behind Sis Angeline's tears.

She texted Empire Without Sunset, 'Come online.'

Empire Without Sunset appeared in less than a second later.

Zaynie Green typed into the chatbox, 'Your woman is crying. Do something about it.'

Empire Without Sunset replied, 'Get her online.'

Josephine pulled Rose off the bed. "Sis Angeline, Empire Without Sunset says he's looking for you." She placed Rose in front of the laptop. "Talk to him, Sis Angeline. You'll feel better, I promise." Rose sent Empire Without Sunset a long line of crying emojis.

Empire Without Sunset typed, 'What's wrong?'

Rose replied, 'My boss bullied me today!'

Empire Without Sunset was stunned.

Since when did he bully her?

'He brought me to see a therapist. Does he not have anything better to do with his life?'

Empire Without Sunset was speechless.

Empire Without Sunset asked, 'What did the doctor say?'

'Doctor told me I have moderate anxiety!'

'Don't worry, I'll nurse you back to health.'

'I'm sick. So unless you have medicine, I'd say that's highly unlikely.'

Empire Without Sunset replied, 'I have medicine!'

'Since when did you switch to pharmaceuticals?'

'My profession may be esports, but I do part-time jobs too. Pharmaceuticals, sticking phone screen protectors, picking up odds and ends from refuse...' Rose asked, 'Why go through all that hard work?'

'I have to make money to provide for my wife.'

Rose was speechless.

Then, she asked, 'Does it cost a lot to provide for her?'

'Yeah.'

'Sob sob.'

Surprised, Empire Without Sunset typed, 'What's wrong?'

'I'm missing out. My husband's never given me money.' 'Silly girl.'

Rose sent a reaction image of 'disappointment!'

Empire Without Sunset retorted, 'Then ask him for it!'

'Forget it. It's pointless to entertain the idea of getting money from the Scrooge himself.'

At this, Empire Without Sunset sent a reaction image of 'sweats'.

Scrooge? He would give her every cent of his net worth and his life if she asked.
