章 458: Yearning

She looked at the window and true to Anthony's words he wasn't there.

Even though the truth was before her, Joanna refused to believe that he would just leave like that without getting to see her.

She closed her eyes and tried to perceive his scent but she couldn't.

No matter how hard she tried to deny it, the truth that he left without seeing her remained unchanged.

"He really left," Joanna mumbled, her eyes fluttering open.

As she walked dejectedly to the bed, her sad expression didn't escape Anthony's notice.

He moved over to the bed too.

"Big Sis, are you alright?" He gazed at her fallen expression as he awaited her response.

"Are you and Brother Amos fighting?" He tried to make a wild guess when Joanna refused to reply.

"Is that why he left without waiting for you...," 

"We are fine so there is no need to worry about us...,"

"But you don't look fine at all," He whispered under his breath but Joanna heard him.
