She casually took a few chopsticks and stuffed them into her mouth haphazardly.
Although eating, she could not really taste anything. And they actually tasted bland.
Her mind was in complete turmoil, completely unaware of what was going on in the meantime.
Justin's ability to get back on his feet was what she has been hoping for more than two years. And only she knew how much she had paid and how hard her life had been just for it.
It was hard to get him the operation and to get enough money, but because Justin misunderstood her relationship with Luther, he eventually disappeared two years ago.
Looking back on the ups and downs she experienced in the past, she still found it hard to calm down.
And now, once again, she saw him standing up, restored to his former health and handsomeness.
She was happy from the bottom of her heart, and, of sorts, relieved of a heartache.
It's just that today, the matter was unveiled so abruptly in front of her and Luther, leaving her at a loss for words.
Luther sat down in the seat opposite her and took a few bites of his meal. He was distracted and had no appetite.
The dining hall was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of the plates clashing against each other was fully audible.
He got full after a few bites and heaved his chopsticks onto the table.
Finally, unable to hold back the suppressed emotions in his heart, he questioned, "Hill Benjamin that night, what happened between me and you. What is it to you?"
Joyce froze and put down the bowl of soup in her hand.
She understood what he meant, the night of Hill Benjamin, when she was drugged and forced to have sex with him. She just didn't understand why he had to mention it now.
