But now…
Gem, what am I supposed to do?
Seeing the confusion in Josh Levs's eyes, Forsythia Brown said, "Josh, don't hide it from me. If you hide it from me, I can find out about Michael's situation through other channels."
Just a tiny lie a moment ago, and she had determined that something must be wrong with Gem Atkinson. If he hid it from her now, and she investigated elsewhere, it would only serve to magnify the consequences and increase her inner burden.
This…is getting even worse.
Thinking about this, Josh bit his lip and said, "Less than half a year."
Despair flashed through the woman's eyes, "Less than half a year?"
Yes, this was Josh's regret to this day, watching his best friend suffer from the illness and being tortured by the pain for half a year before finally giving up the ghost.
Recalling the past, Josh lowered his head in sadness.
