Chapter 3 Twins

Jean's voice was strained from repressed emotions. She sounded aggrieved.

Joyce didn't realize anything was wrong with Jean. She thought that Jean was overcome with emotion.

Joyce nodded and hummed softly in response as she looked around. She looked disappointed when she didn't see anyone else in the room.

Jean and Joyce were identical twins. When Jean saw Joyce looking around the room, she knew immediately that she was looking for Tyler.

She held back a sigh, unsure of what to say. A feeling of dread seemed to weigh her down.

Dorothy threw her a warning look. Jean's expression might give something away.

"Jean is busy, Joyce. Let go of her hand and let her leave," Dorothy said softly to Joyce. She didn't want Jean to linger. She was afraid that Jean would reveal something she shouldn't.

Joyce nodded and released Jean's hand.

As soon as Joyce let go, Dorothy grabbed Jean's hand and pushed her out of the room. "Now that your sister is awake, we'll have to talk about the divorce. Before that, you'd better not do anything rash!" she warned.

Jean frowned. Faced with Dorothy's stern look, she took a deep breath and said firmly, "I won't wait for too long."

Dorothy's expression darkened. "You don't have a choice," she said. "Don't forget your sister is in the hospital because of you!"

Jean felt like her heart had been stabbed. She looked at Dorothy, heartbroken. She couldn't say a word.

Dorothy remained cold and emotionless as she stared back at Jean. "Once your sister is feeling better, you can switch back."

Jean didn't say anything.

Dorothy looked annoyed when Jean didn't respond. Before she could say anything else, she saw a slender figure from the corner of her eye. Her attitude toward Jean changed immediately.

"It's alright. Your sister just woke up. She needs more rest. I'll let you know if anything happens. Go on home. Look, Tyler is here to pick you up. Try to be nice to him."

Jean was startled. She turned and saw Tyler walking toward them.

When she saw him, she panicked for a moment. Then she remembered the ties he had to this hospital and relaxed. He must have come here after receiving the news.

Tyler made his way to them with a gentle look on his face. He put his arm around Jean's waist. "I heard that Jean is awake, so I came to visit her."

Jean held back a sigh. Even after three years, she still couldn't get used to hearing Tyler saying her name. She kept her feelings in check and took a step to the side to escape Tyler's embrace.

However, Tyler pulled her back as soon as she moved.

Dorothy gave an awkward laugh when she saw this.

She said, "Yeah, she just woke up. She's not fully recovered yet. The doctor said she needed rest. Thank you for coming here despite your busy schedule."

Tyler looked indifferent. His deep eyes concealed his emotions as he glanced at Jean.

"I'm glad she's awake. I've been married to Joyce for three years, but I've yet to meet her twin. Come on, Joyce, let's go see her together. Jean should know that she has a brother-in-law now, too."

Hearing this, Dorothy became nervous.
