"D-did you just push me?" Joanna said and pointed her index finger at him.

"How could you bully me huh?" Joanna asked and sniffed repeatedly.

Before she could spell Jack, a tiny figure jumped out of the bed and charged towards where Amos stood.

"How could you bully my Big Sis?" He shouted and attacked Amos twice with his claws.

He was about to go on attacking Amos when Joanna spoke.

"If you love me so much and can\'t stand to see anyone bullies me then why did you pull such a prank on me?" Joanna\'s angry voice made Anthony retract his swinging punch.

"How could you be so heartless to bully your own Big Sister that you claim to love the most Anthony Anderson?" Joanna called his full name like she fondly does whenever she is furious.

The guilty conscience Anthony slowly turned around. He was so terrified that he couldn\'t raise his gaze to look at her.

"Stop pretending to be scared and lift your head because I know you are as fearless as a lion," Joanna ordered him sternly.

Amos could swear that she hasn\'t seen Joanna so strict on Anthony before.

He wasn\'t surprised to see Anthony did like he was commanded.

"You pretend to love me dearly but I can see that you don\'t love me at all...,"

"Of course I do," He said and moved a step forward.

He moved back to his previous position when his eyes met Joanna\'s piercing glares.

"If you do then tell me why you lied that you were hurt and couldn\'t walk. Tell me now or I can\'t promise I won\'t spank you if you don\'t," Joanna threatened fiercely.

"Brother Amos kept walking about the sitting room because he was worried about you. I just wanted to help him out by making you come back early," Anthony said timidly.

Anyone who didn\'t know him would conclude he doesn\'t speak louder than that, not knowing that it was his guilty conscience which made him speak softly.

Joanna shot Amos a fierce glare after Anthony\'s confession.

"I didn\'t ask him to do that. Believe me," Amos defended himself even though Joanna didn\'t say anything.

"You can ask him if you don\'t...,"

"I know he wouldn\'t lie under such circumstances so there is no need to keep on pleading your innocence," Joanna spoke up when she noticed that Amos had mistaken her gaze for accusation.

There was quietness in the room after Joanna\'s last sentence. Amos gazed at the little boy\'s face which was full of remorse.

Normally he would have scolded Anthony for playing such a game on Joanna but he couldn\'t find the right words to reprimand him when he recalled that he was the reason he had to tell such a big lie.

[Has our bond grown so much within these past days that he would go as far as upsetting his precious big sister to make me happy?]

Amos wondered. He tried to think of something special he might have done to win the boy\'s affection but he couldn\'t come up with anyone.

Anthony took slow steady steps towards where Joanna sat. He raised his hands and held the hands of the lady who had refused to look at him.

"Big Sis, I am sorry," Anthony muttered, his gaze glued on the sideline of her face.

"Although I wanted to make Brother Amos happy, I know it was still wrong of me to lie to you. Please don\'t be upset," Anthony apologised meekly.

He waits for her to turn and smile at him or even pull his cheeks like she fondly does whenever he upset her but she didn\'t spare him a glance or scold him further.

"I know I was wrong so don\'t be upset hmm," Anthony mumbled and shook her hands gently. Even at this Joanna refused to be moved.

Her actions left Amos puzzled.

Yes, he acted along with her but he never knew what plans she had in mind. He assumed she wanted to teach him a little lesson and that was why he played along.

If he had known that she intended to punish Anthony this way then he might have thought twice about his involvement.

"Please Big Sis, don\'t be upset anymore huh," Anthony pleaded once more.

When he noticed that she didn\'t react again he made up his mind to help Anthony out.

He might not have asked him to lie to get Joanna back home early. He may be upset that he resorted to lying. But he can\'t deny the fact that he benefited from his actions.

He will still scold him later on but at least not this way.

He knows very well that Anthony can\'t stand Joanna being upset with him.

"I know what he did was wrong. And if anyone should be punished for his actions it should be me...,"

"You...," Joanna turned and shot Amos a fierce glare with her index finger pointing at him.

Amos ignored her fierce glares. He proceeded to stand beside Anthony.

"This happened not only because I failed in my duty to watch over him but also failed to keep my emotions in check which made him do what he did...,"

"You guys are teaming up on me again...,"

"Of course not," Amos and Anthony said in unison. Amos turned and smiled at the boy when he realised that they had said the same thing.

He shifted his gaze back to Joanna\'s. "So as such it is fair that I get punished instead of him".

He concluded and reached out his hand to hold the hand of the lady whose frown was clear as crystal.

"Let go, you bunch of bullies," Joanna shook their hands off and sprang to her feet. She turned and walked away but Anthony ran after her.

He grabbed her hand and forced her to halt.

She shot him a piercing glare but not even those deadly glances of hers could make Anthony release her right hand.

"I know in this entire world that Big Sis is the one who loves me most. She has always taken care of me and my needs ever since I was this little," Anthony bent so that his hand was almost touching the floor.
