In that instant, Ivy Shen was frozen, her heart suddenly wracked with pain—the sorrowful, resentful, and utterly despairing voice actually belonged to her own sister!
Sis, just what kind of torment are you suffering?!
What kind of abuse are you enduring?!
My sister—my real sister...
"Sherry, what's wrong?" Jude Song, utterly confused, hurriedly looked at Ivy's pale face and asked.
Hearing this, Ivy glanced at the guy in front of her. Right now, she wished she could kill him on the spot, but reason told her she couldn't—not until she found out exactly where her sister was being held!
"Sherry..." Seeing her staring at him without blinking, but with an oddly empty look in her eyes, Jude Song grew more and more bewildered—and honestly, kind of panicked. What was up with her?!
"It's nothing, Your Highness. I was just lost in thought," she replied, lowering her head and taking a deep breath, reminding herself not to let him see through her act—no matter what!
"How many times do I have to tell you? You're not allowed to call yourself a 'humble maid' in front of me, got it?" Jude flashed a little smile and continued, "Can you tell me what you were thinking about just now? Why do you look so down?"
Hearing that, Ivy pushed his wheelchair a little closer to the Lotus Garden, then sat down by the pond, kicked off her shoes, and dunked her toes straight into the water—as if only that icy chill could suppress her raging impulse inside!
