Wednesday, continued ....
Phillipa continued "I have to apologise for going back on my word, as I realised when the two of you walked in there was something bothering you. Hopefully we have dealt with that, now here comes the hard part. Anna"
"What do you want me to say."
"Tell the truth about …"
Anna, shrunk back into the chair, not being ready to admit the realities of things in her relationship with Lu Jinhu.
Hou Yi observed this, and based on Anna's reaction and what she said last night, he paused and quietly asked "He has physically hurt you on multiple occasions, not just the couple I know about?"
With that Anna burst out into tears, which to Hou Yi confirmed that he had, and all he could do was move over to Anna, pick her up in his arms, and sit down with her on his lap letting her cry into his chest. He realised that this was raw for Anna. It was breaking his heart to see his wife in so much pain. If he could take the pain of this admission for her he would.
