Kapitel 247: He Kept His Word

Although his sentence was short, it turned out to be the word Joanna needed to feel a bit of inner peace.

There was silence in the room after his utterances.

"Little rice ball, I don't have a place to spend the night in. You don't mind Big Sister sharing your room with you, right?" Joanna asked.

"Of course," Anthony said beaming.

Tonight, Joanna had difficulties sleeping but it wasn't as bad as it would have been if she had spent the night alone.

The next day Joanna woke up very early. She carefully climbed out of bed making sure that she didn't wake Anthony up in the process.

After tiptoeing into the bathroom, she rinsed her face and took care of her teeth. She had wanted to take a bath afterwards but had to change her mind when she recalled that she didn't have spare clothes.

Joanna returned to the bedroom soon. She gave a long stare at her little brother's sleeping face before she approached the door.
