As Gloria went out of sight, Angela called out in an anxious voice, "Gloria, Gloria!"
She intended to get off the bed, but Jordy stopped her and said, "Let her leave!"
Angela turned pale and shook her head. "But she hasn't recovered yet. What happened yesterday was a heavy blow to her. I tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't come out of the shadows. I'm afraid she'd do something stupid!"
Jordy's pupils contracted.
Gloria was now homeless. There was no longer a family keeping her. If she chose to end her life…
But he snorted in the next second. "Gloria is a hypocrite of no scruples. How could she possibly do anything stupid?"
A flash of a smile crossed Angela's eyes, but on the surface, she shook her head and said with concern, "She is my cousin. My only cousin. Could you stop hurting her…"
Seeing the kindness and anxiety on her face, he croaked, "You should lie down."
