When Valerie returned home, she didn't dare to look into her sister-in-law's eyes. She turned a deaf ear to the children calling her "aunt" and locked herself in the bedroom.
She didn't dare to turn on the light.
She curled up in the corner and bit her hand hard.
When Bryant came back from work, his wife hung up the coat he had taken off and said to him, "Valerie just came back. She doesn't look well. I and the kids greeted her, but she didn't respond to us."
"Later I knocked on her door and called her several times, but she didn't answer. I was worried that she had any problem and wanted to go in and have a look, but she locked the door. I don't know what happened. You can go upstairs and ask her. She is not very close to me. "

Valerie sniffed and sobbed, "Bryant, will you help me? No matter what happens, you will always be on my side, won't you? I'm your cousin. You'll be on my side, won't you? "
Her eyes were full of tears, like a homeless man in panic, eager to find a solid support.
Bryant looked at her without saying anything.
"Bryant..." Valerie looked at him pitifully, tears streaming down again.
After a while, Bryant nodded calmly.
"I'm your cousin. Of course I will stand on your side and help you."
