"Joseph, how are you going to punish me?" Anna frightened. She crawled to Joseph's feet and begged, "Joseph, please forgive me. I realize my mistake, and I will never lie again. I will never do anything that hurts others…"
When Joseph thought of how he degraded Kate, harassing her and calling her names because he trusted in Anna, he was mortified. He realized how stupid he had been when all along it was Anna who was lying to him and caused him to turn against Kate.
The anger overwhelmed him, and he kicked Anna off of his leg, "If an apology is all it takes, can I punish you and then apologize?"
Anna understood exactly what he meant; she quickly looked toward the wardrobe and rushed toward it. She purposely hit her head on the corner of it and fell to the floor bleeding.
