A new family member

Kylie finished her food and was taken to her room by Pearl even though Andrew told her to give the girl some space but Pearl was still adamant about 'Giving her some space
She was worried about Kylie, this quiet behavior of hers was unlike the Kylie she knew. Kylie could hardly keep her mouth shut for a minute, she was so bad that she even talks in her sleep sometimes. Seeing her sister so mute was something that she had to be worried about.
She was scared of her quietness, she wanted to know what exactly happened in the place she was kidnapped, and was released so easily? And what was going on in her mind.
Those questions refused to leave her mind and that was why she insisted on pestering Kylie maybe she would talk to her. She noticed her appearance and there were bruises on her skin then her change of clothes, it was weird because that was not the dress that she was wearing when she left. The kidnapper was so kind as to beat her up and then buy her new clothes.
Prsr opened the door to her room and took her to the bed. Kylie missed the room a lot, if, was large, beautiful, and cozy.
"Kylie, we need to talk," Pearl sighed and sat down beside her.
"What's wrong Kylie? Why are you keeping quiet? Tell me what occurred in that place where you were kidnapped, did they touch you or blackmail you to keep quiet?" She interrogated me.
Pearl stared at her face but Kylie didn't bother looking at her; she simply kept looking everywhere except her.
" Kylie, like seriously? "Pearl gasped, hurtfully.
Kylie didn't want to see her hurt face but she could feel the intensity of her gaze on her. She was just a little scared to say anything about her kidnapper because it was more complicated than she thought. It was as serious and complicated as ever.
It would sound insane if she ever told Pearl that her kidnapper was there…
The knock on the door interrupted her train of thought, Pearl walked to the door and let the doctor inside.
"Good morning, Mrs. Jones" then a handsome gray-haired man greeted and stretched his hand for a shake.
"I am doctor Gabriel and I have been called by Mr. Jones to check up on his sister-in-law" He smiled at Pearl.
"Nice to meet you sir" She shook hands with him and pointed at Kylie. She told her that she was the girl that needed medical attention.
He nodded and did a check-up on her, Pearl waited for information from the doctor and Andrew later joined her.
She turned to Andrew and asked, "Drew, what about the company?"
Pearl always remembered the company's affairs but decided to keep quiet about it.
"I put someone in charge and he is doing a great job" Andrew smiled and smooched her lips.
Pear rolled her eyes and teased "Can't you stay one, second without touching me?"
"I don't have a death wish" Andrew giggled and it made her chuckle.
Mr. Gabriel was done checking up on her, he turned to the couple and said "She's fine and there is nothing wrong with her. I checked for some internal pain or injuries but there was none, her blood pressure was normal and her heart rate too and–"
Pearl cut in "But why isn't she saying anything?"
"She might have what is called PTSD"
"And what's that?"
"It means post-traumatic stress disorder" Andrew replied and Pearl nodded in understanding.
"I need so much rest and time to recover from whatever she's passing through," Mr. Gabriel said and they nodded.
They thanked him and Andrew escorted him out of the room. Pearl quickly went to sit next to Kylie.
"Kylie, sit up!" She commanded.
Kylie knew she was angry but it wasn't her fault that she wanted to stay quiet, she knew if she said anything they would think she was crazy.
Kylie slowly sat up and began picking dirt out of her fingers.
"Now we are going to talk like two grown women. Kylie, I am your older sister and I thought you trusted me but I was so wrong" Pearl began her emotional blackmail. She hoped it worked.
"Firstly, you never told me about Joan and that wasn't the most disappointing aspect of these things, the most disappointing part of you protecting those who kidnapped you or are they more important than my mental state?" Pearl was sad with teary eyes.
" I have been begging you for hours to say something but you've only been quiet, haven't I gone through enough because of you? "Pearl snapped angrily." First, you had a tumor and I knew how much I worked my butt off to get medicines and pay for your treatment but I can see that means nothing to you since you can't even trust me. I told you how I met Andrew. It was all about a marriage contract with a stranger! "
Kylie flinched a bit and guilt filled her face, Pearl allowed her words to be absurd and she could see that her words weraffectingon her.
"I married Andrew because I needed money, he was a total stranger! What if he was a drug trafficker or an abuser? My life would have been all fucked and messed up"
Andrew stepped into their room interrupting their conversation. Pearl wiped her tears away and stood up but Kylie held her hand.
"I will talk but it's quite… complicated," Kylie said, her voice coming out hoarse because she had been quiet for a while.
Pear exchanged glances with Andrew and sat down.
"The kidnapper who kidnapped me is our late brother, that's what he told me," Kylie said and they both gasped.
"I'm confused by what he meant, I don't know but can a dead person come back to life?" She asked with such an innocent tone.
"Late brother?"
Pearl's eyes widened and she gasped "What the heck are you saying?"
