Chapter 468 Isve Got You (1/2)
Gary's face turned pale and his body shuddered under the weight of rejection. He seemed waif-like and staggered by a step behind in order to reclaim his balance.
This was too much of a pitiable sight for Jean. Seeing the old man tremble in front of her son, she unwillingly felt incredibly sorry for him.
Instinctively, she reached out with her hand to hold back the falling old man and cried,”Be careful!...”
The words were out of her mouth before Jean even realized what she was doing. In a jiffy, the truth hit home and she gasped with disbeilief.
Oh no! What had she done? She was a friend of Moore but was clearly siding with the person who had ruined Moore's life.
She was a person without a moral compass. She couldn't differntiate between right and wrong. Maybe, she wasn't good enough to be Moore's friend.
Jean in a flash of guilt and worry stole a glance at Moore.
Nothing had escaped Moore. He noticed Jean's unusual behavior and his eyes met her guilt-stricken face as she sneakily tried to read his emotions. Seeing Moore observe her support towards Gary, Jean's heart sank into her stomach. Covering it up, she sheepishly smiled at him.
Finally, Moore shook his head slightly at her, telling her that it was okay. His consideration relieved Jean.
Moore could read her emotions even when so much was going for him. Jean was not only grateful to him but realized what a special friend he was. She barely nodded at him in gratitude.
Gary had caught on the unspoken emotions that the two had just exchanged. But he was surprised.
'Isn't she Zed's wife?'
After learning that Moore was living with the Qi family ever since he got discharged, Gary thought that perhaps Moore was close with Zed. To his total surprise, Moore had closer relations with what he could only guess as Zed's wife instead.
