Chapter 379 Her Bleeding Neck

Adhara was confused as she gazed at Joanna's back. In her life, none has ever made her feel as uneasy as Joanna does.

To her, Joanna was like a timebomb waiting to explode. And she was scared that this time bomb might blow up in her face.

Upstairs in her room, Joanna was seen gazing outside of the window with her eyes closed. Anthony stood up from the bed and strolled to her side.

He gazed at her face for two minutes. Even though she uttered no words or gazed back at him, he knew she was not alright after what he saw.

As he gazed at her, he got a glimpse of blood around her neck.

"Big Sis, you are bleeding," he screamed and reached out his hand to touch her neck but he couldn't reach her neck because of his height.

She tilted her head and peered at his worry-stricken face.

"It is just a minor wound. I won't die from a mere scratch so don't worry. Big Sis is stronger than you think," She smiled at him and used her left hand to wipe the blood off her neck.

"Grandma is very mean. I wonder why she is always like that to you whenever she visits," He said, frowning.

Joanna noticed he was even more upset than she was so she squatted in front of him.

"I also want to know the reason why she loathes me but judging from her temper I am more than certain that she will skin me alive if I question her," She replied and ruffled his hair a bit.

[She should be grateful you came on time because I am not sure what I would have done to her if you didn't arrive in the nick of time. Maybe I would have grabbed her neck and made sure she burns to death]

Joanna grits her teeth when she recalls the incident earlier.

"I wish Big Sis will never have to get bullied by Grandma and the others ever again…,"

"I am sure the heavens had already granted your wish so don't worry," Joanna grinned.

She had prepared to be the ruthless woman's mercy when she arrived. But as fate had it she regained her powers a night after the cruel woman's arrival.

All hope was lost at her side so this must be fate's handiwork.

"Big Sis, let me treat your wound," He expressed and stood up from the bed.

"You don't…," he was already at the door before she had the chance to stop him.

"I will go get the first aid box from downstairs," He added and exited the room.

Joanna laid down on the bed after Anthony left. She gazed at the ceiling, "This is why he will always be my good little brother no matter what," she muttered.

She was about to shut her eyes when the door flew open.

"Come, sit up and let me treat your wounds," He announced. He lent her a hand and pulled her to a sitting position.

"My little rice ball is all grown that he now knows how to take care of Big Sis," Joanna jokes. She tilted her neck to the sides so he had access to her injury.

"Yes. So now you can count on me to take good care of you in the future," He replied, smiling.

He was still cleaning the cut on her neck when the door to Joanna's room flew open.

Just then a lady walked in with her shoulders raised high.

She paused in front of where Joanna sat.

"Granny said she is starving. She wants you to prepare her favourite abalone porridge right now…,"

"But Big Sis is injured. She can't…," Anthony paused when he got a glimpse of Laura's deadly gaze.

"She is way too famished to wait for a long time so she wants it ready in ten minutes…,"

"You are trying to…,"

"If you dare interrupt me again I will not only report you to Dad but I will make sure I lock you in your room the entire night," Laura raved and stomped out of the room.

Anthony shifted his gaze to the lady by his side after Laura was gone. "Big Sis…,"

"I need to go and prepare your Grandma's meal. We will continue from where we stopped after I return," She faked a smile and pats his back.

Joanna left the room. On the passage, she paused in front of the stairs. She gazed at the brown door ahead of her.

[Since they don't want me to go to bed today I will make sure they don't get a wink of sleep either]

Joanna smirked. She descended the stairs afterwards.

In the kitchen, she first prepared the ingredients. With the help of the system, she was able to complete the task that would have taken ten minutes in just five minutes.

Before the ten minutes elapsed she was in front of the brown door with a tray in her hand.

Joanna walked into the room after she was ushered in.

Just like she expected, Laura was sitting beside Grandma Cora on the green couch.

"Grandma…no I meant Madam Cora," She corrected herself when she saw the fuming lady pick up the wine glass from the table.

"Your favourite abalone porridge is ready," she said and bent to drop the tray on the table.

"Abalone porridge?" She groaned. "Whoever told you I wanted abalone porridge as my dinner?" She demanded.

"Laura…,"

"Granny, I bet she must have deliberately prepared the wrong dish to take revenge on you for scolding her earlier," Laura interrupted and tried to invite Grandma Cora.

"She? Take revenge on me?" Grandma Cora chuckled with her index finger pointing at Joanna.

"Don't you think one needs to have the ability and guts to take revenge? And do you think someone like her possessed these things?" She sneered.

"Hahaha… you are right about that," Laura laughed.

They took pleasure in belittling her not caring that she was capable of feeling every emotion.
