Chapter 393

When Jean saw that Brad finally noticed her, she burst into louder sobs. "Brad, you were unwell last night, and I took care of you! Have you forgotten?" she sobbed. "I looked after you all night. You kept calling my name and pulling at my clothes." She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, crying even more pitifully.

He dashed out of the bedroom, grabbed an old broom that hadn't been used in years, and swung it at Brad. "How dare you commit adultery? Our family has always upheld its honor.
