Amanda Jenkins reached out her hand and gently patted Jesslyn Derei's shoulder, consoling her, "Don't overthink it, my brother just doesn't want you to see him in his frail state."
She could tell what Jesslyn Derei was thinking and guess why her brother avoided Jesslyn Derei at this time.
Feeling touched, Jesslyn Derei looked at Amanda Jenkins, "Amanda, thank you."
Suddenly, she threw herself into a tight hug with Amanda Jenkins, as tears silently fell, "Having you by my side now, to face all this with me, makes me feel much more at ease."
Every time Brother Ethan had an attack before, she felt utterly helpless and scared.
Now, with Amanda present and seeing the strong smile on Amanda's face, she also felt filled with courage.
"Silly, what are you thanking me for?" Amanda Jenkins smiled, "I should be the one thanking you, for staying by my brother's side so faithfully."
Jesslyn Derei sobbed on Amanda Jenkins's shoulder, "As long as he doesn't drive me away, I'm very content."
