Chapter 473 Repeat Your Words (1/2)

”What did you say? Please repeat your words!” Henry couldn't help but ask. He shockingly got off the bed and stopped right in front of Joy. He had his eyes wide open and stared straight into hers.

Watching Henry's reaction, Joy swallowed the bile that was rising on her throat. She had never expected such a reaction.

She took a look at him and then repeated her words. With fear-stricken face, she explained all her previous mistakes.

Jean leaned closer to Zed as she couldn't bear hearing those disgusting words spoken again. Sadness took over her and she wept quietly.

'Mother, did you see that?

I managed to clear your name.

What will the man you loved so deeply think now?

No matter what he thinks, I will never forgive him. He chose not to believe you. Instead, he believed the lies which Joy fed him. I can never forgive him for that!

Originally I didn't plan to let him know the truth, but I didn't want your name to be stained. Everybody deserves to know the truth.

Besides, Joy is going to turn herself in tomorrow. It's more persuasive to let Henry hear the truth from Joy.

Mother, you can rest in peace now, '

Jean thought silently and tried to bring a smile back onto her face. With her head placed on Zed, she felt better. The weight on her shoulder had just lifted.

Zed supported and comforted Jean by tightly hugging her with his arms. He hated seeing her sad and wanted to put a full stop to her sorrows.

The silent room suddenly awakened with a sharp noise. Henry had placed a sharp slap on Joy's face. It echoed in the extremely quiet ward.

Jean was startled with the sound and she looked up. The scene in front of her was that of Joy covering her red cheek with her hand. Suddenly, Joy let out a loud cry. Humiliation was written all over her face. It was evident that she didn't expect this slap.
