When no one else was present, Johanna no longer bothered to hide her expression. After all, a blind person couldn't see.
"Imogen, your eyes can be cured. I'm so happy for you. Besides…"
Johanna lowered her head, and her tone suddenly turned somber. "That miracle healer, Ms. Fuller, is also Stephan's sweetheart. Soon, you'll all be one family."
"Johanna…" Imogen reached out and grasped Johanna's hand. A mix of guilt and pity could be seen on her face.
Before this, she had tried repeatedly to bring Stephan and Johanna together.
However, even if she had that intention, Stephan had rejected her efforts without leaving any room for negotiations. As his elder sister, she couldn't force him.
Now, there was Felicia.
After spending the past few days with her, Imogen had grown quite fond of her. Aside from her slightly aloof personality, there was nothing to criticize.
Most importantly, Stephan liked her, and that was enough.
"Johanna, I'm so sorry. I know you like Stephan, but feelings can't be forced…" Imogen then promised, "But don't worry. I'll always think of you as my little sister, and I'll never let anyone bully you!"
"Imogen, I know… but there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you…" Johanna hesitated, her voice full of uncertainty. However, a strange look of excitement could be seen on her face.
Imogen urged, "What is it? Do tell."
"No, I… I'm afraid to say…"
