"But he almost killed you, Sisi!" Jojo said angrily. "I-I thought I'd lose you! I-I don't know what I'd do if that happened… wuu… waaaaaah!"
Despite not trusting Kael completely, Sisi also didn't want Jojo to be at odds with his own father. After all, Kael was far too powerful for anyone to handle. She couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't snap and hurt his own son if Jojo angered him enough.
To be hurt by one's own father would be the worst kind of scar on a boy's heart, and Sisi didn't want that.
"There, there, don't cry," Sisi said as she hugged him and patted his back. "It was just a misunderstanding. Your Dad had every right to be suspicious of me, since I was close to Uncle Marik before. But the misunderstanding has been resolved, right? I'm doing just fine now."
Jojo said nothing and continued sobbing in Sisi's embrace.
Sisi looked at Kael and offered him a sincere smile this time. She was genuinely grateful to be spared, because she still wanted to stay by Jojo's side.
