Chapter 570 - Don't cry

Jai ran out which shook George and he was angered. He caught him and beat mercilessly saying he would send him to boarding school far away, he would abandon him and similar things.

George knew well Sky always listened to Jai and would really leave if Jai says. But it only increased the fury of Jai and he started spout nonsense.

Sky who heard the commotion downstairs from her room while cleaning ran downstairs and saw George beating Jai. She yelled at the top of her lungs as she ran towards Jai. "Dad! Don't hit Brother Jai"

She repeated and went between Jai and George. She got few hits which were directed at Jai. The latter pushed her mercilessly saying, "This is all because of you, you are not my little sister. You are..."

George flung a stool at him in anger to stop him. But Sky who was on the floor got up and covered Jai. George couldn't stop himself in time and the wooden stool broke on Sky's back.

She fainted instantly due to pain but her hands still clutched Jai to avoid him from getting hurt. Just by the reaction, Jai who was bent fell flat on the ground with Sky behind his back.

Jai came back to senses and tried to talk to Sky but received no response. Hearing George cries, Jai understood Sky saved him who was ready to send her away for a mere sports kit. George couldn't carry Sky as her clutch was very tight on Jai's shirt.

Tears were flowing down on both George and Jai's face as the latter carried her to the car then to the hospital. Since the hit wasn't on her spinal cord, the major risk was washed out but her two ribs were broken.

She was operated soon. When she woke up, her questions were 'How is brother Jai? Dad! why were you hitting him? Don't you know he wants to be a Badminton player? How can you hit him?....'

There was no question about her despite the pain she had and why she was sleeping on the stomach on the Hospital bed.

George, Georgia, Eugene, and even his grandmother didn't scold Jai. Eugene said only one thing after the incident, "Do you want to tell her? Go on. After saying it forget that you have parents or grandparents or brother or sister."

She was on bed rest for more than three months. She took nearly a year to get back to a normal lifestyle. Ultimately Jai was the one who took care of her.

Loran was just nine years and he only cared about Sky getting well and play with him rather than the reason behind it.

"When I tried to know about Harley, I understood, we should have money or power to get information. That's how I worked hard for it. Badminton, she almost lost her life for that, so I will continue it." Jai had finished when Sky went to them.

"Isn't Sam an excellent dancer?... Oh! By the way what brothers-in-law are talking? Did I disturb?"

Jai rubbed her head before hugging her, "I was telling him about how you got hospitalized with broken ribs because of my stupidy."

Arlo was surprised, "Sky knows?"

Sky hummed and nodded. "Brother Jai told me after somedays of me knowing I'm Harley."

Arlo was still in shock, Jai sent Sky to sit as she danced twice on her heels after dancing with Arlo.

"Did you two fight after you told Sky about it?" Arlo finally asked.

Jai shook his head, "She was consoling me saying, I said in frustration and don't take it to heart."

Arlo who knew Sky well thought he knew nothing about her. If he does something, probably he wouldn't dare to tell her thinking he would lose her.

Seeing Arlo go silent, Jai asked, "Do you still have doubt whether Sky loves you or not? Why are you still not telling her about your identity?"

"Huh?" Arlo raised his brow in perplex. "She ..."

Jai cut in surprisedly, "Did you think I let you marry her just because you love her?"

Arlo was astounded. Seeing his reaction, Jai shook his head resignedly and patted on his shoulder, "You two would have really died single without me."

Jai left after finishing it.

Sky was laughing her heart out with others seeing Aileen go from red to green. She had got Clark's name and he told her to 'pour a bucket full of water on herself over the head in front of everyone'.

Aileen drank three shots of drink before sitting back on her chair. Loran, Sky and Clark hi-fived pissing her off.

Jai's friends got similar dares and they finished. There were few more people who were playing but Arlo carried her and went upstairs as a few started saying 'Oh'. Sky couldn't even get angry at him in front of others.

"Do you have fun hearing others tease me? Can't I walk myself? I still have legs... ... ... Arlo! Why aren't you speaking? Did you turn deaf? or dumb?..."

Sky continued and he shut her mouth with his after entering their room. She couldn't process why he suddenly started behaving like that yet she surrendered to his kiss.

Sky felt like he was sucking her soul away. When she couldn't breathe anymore, she pushed him aside and started breathing heavily as her chest heaved up and down.

After catching a breath, Sky started hitting him, "Don't tell me you got jealous of Sam. Arlo! if you..."

Arlo pecked on her lips and looked straight into her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me you love me too?"

Sky breathed a sigh of relief and hit him again as she cried, "You scared me."

Arlo hugged her seeing tears at the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not jealous of Sam. Don't cry. Don't cry..."

Sky treated everyone around her well. So he always thought she treated him better because she knew he loves her and since they were already married, she was trying getting along as responsibility.

But what Jai said meant she was in love before their marriage. He ruined it by forcing her to marry him which meant she would have accepted him if he proposed her.
