Chapter 333
Jake's point of view
Steve stopped moving at the doorstep, looked into the depth of my eyes with total honesty and purity, and patted my arm forcefully with a genuine brotherly reproach, saying: "Do not say this absurd nonsense again, Jake, or I will be angry with you... I have never and will never in my life forget when you sheltered me and carved a path for me in your house in the past before your imprisonment, and how you used to shower me and give me money generously without return."
I looked at him with intense gratitude and respect, and said with steadfastness: "You are my most faithful friend... you are my real brother whom my mother did not give birth to, you realize this matter well."
Steve smiled with warmth and shook his head, saying: "I know and understand this well, man... and now, cease the emotions and wash this mountain of dirty utensils and plates by yourself as a punishment; I am going to the market."
