Winston was unprepared and was vigorously pushed to the ground. His forehead went red after the hit.
Essa was distressed and rushed over to help Winston up. She frowned and stared at Declan. "What are you doing?"
"I need to talk to you. Let's talk outside." Declan took the lead and walked out of the ward.
Essa comforted Winston and waited until he calmed down before she went outside.
Standing at the door of the ward, Declan looked stern and said, "Can you and Winston keep your distance?"
Essa didn’t like to hear that and asked, "
Why should I keep a distance from him?" "He's an adult. And you are still cuddling together. Is it appropriate for you to do that?
"That's funny. So what? Other people don’t know that we are brother and sister. Don't you know that? Besides, Winston is sick. He has the temperament of a child. Don't you think you're out of line? How can you think of us in this way?"
Declan said, "Anyway, you still need to keep a proper distance. Tell me, what's the story on the news?"
"That was a misunderstanding. I was framed. I'm trying to figure out who’s behind it."
"What about the photos? How can the photos be exposed?" "I don't know. I'm not sure. I said the matter is being investigated."
"The matter is getting out of hand! Do you think there is anyone who doesn't know now? My mother is so angry about it that she is lying in bed and can't move. What you've done is way out of line."
Essa’s chest swelled and she said, "It doesn't matter if others don't believe me. How can you not believe me? Do you believe I would do something like that?"
"Now it's not about whether I believe you or not. This matter has become widely
known. Friends, relatives, and colleagues all know about our relationship, and they've all seen the news about you."
