"Why would you ask such a question? Did I do something wrong that made you suspect our friendship?" Looking at Emily, who was still acting strangely, Jocelyn asked.

"Of course not. I just watched a movie about friendship yesterday, so I was a little sentimental."

Emily hid the fact that Carina had been here, as well as her conversation with her.

She asked Jocelyn to be absolutely honest with her. She asked Jocelyn to become a transparent person with no secrets in front of her. However, she could not be the person she asked others to be.

Hearing that Emily was only having these thoughts because of the movie, Jocelyn didn't think much of it. The gloominess in her heart was swept away, and she started to eat her burger.

"Jocelyn, why were you hospitalized two days ago?"

Hearing Emily's question, Jocelyn smiled and told her what she had told Carina.
