Chapter 184

Della’s POV

“Jack–”

“Are you hurt? Do you need anything?” I couldn’t finish my sentence when his worried question echoed through the phone like a bullet.

It’s vivid how worried and anxious he was just by hearing his words. My heart throbbed, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Since childhood, my brother has always doted on me and loved me so dearly. I knew his methods of protecting me could be quite excessive, but objectively looking at it, I knew it was all for my own sake.

I pursed my lips, stopping myself from having a shaking voice as I replied, “I’m fine.”

For many years, all I’ve done was worry him and cause him a headache. Years ago, I left and married Kylian, cutting off my communication with them. He put up with it because it was for my happiness.

But then, he learned that I was mistreated, and I knew that it broke his heart more than anyone else. He saw himself as my protector, and knowing I was hurt… I knew that he probably blamed himself deep inside.
