"That woman!" Ethan gritted his teeth. He could see just by Jessamyn's reaction that there was truth to the rumors he heard. Knowing that he was satisfied with the end that the woman met.
"Jessamyn…" Ethan hugged her, his arms enveloping her in a protective embrace. "You've endured so much…"
He always thought that she slipped and fell, which caused her to lose her baby. But it was that woman's wickedness that cost Jessamyn the baby. That woman even had the nerve to blame Jessamyn for losing her child. Jessamyn kept silent for years, keeping that secret. It must have been tough on her.
Jessamyn leaned on his shoulder, and his embrace calmed her down. Her brother had grown into an adult. He was even consoling her. It brought a smile to her face. Maybe it was not bad everyone was talking about it.
"How did you know?" she asked.
