Josephine watched as Evelyn entered the room, hand in hand with Brooks.

She forced herself to suppress the turbulent emotions stirred up by Charles, shifting her attention to Brooks and his injuries.

"Ms. Josephine, please don't worry. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Are you feeling alright? Any discomfort?"

"I'm fine," Josephine replied.

Thankfully, none of the three had suffered any real harm.
