Chapter 1353

Quinton felt conflicted as he turned to look at Renee, but ultimately decided not to hide
anything. He nodded slowly and admitted, “You really do know me best. You can always tell
what’s on my mind.”
“Before this, nobody could even say Joanne’s name in front of you, and you were very fierce
to me the first time I did. But now… that’s no longer the case. You’re obsessed with her, and
it seems like she has full control of your feelings.” Renee didn’t know why he had changed
so much, especially when it came to his feelings for Joanne. She didn’t know if she should
tell him the truth or not. Things would be better if Quinton stopped hating Joanne, but
Joanne would be in danger if the news of her survival was exposed.
’Maybe my mind changed after I nearly got killed twice,” Quinton remarked casually.
“Why?”
“I was filled with hatred the first time I almost got killed. I told myself that I must survive to
take revenge, but this time … I was full of love for all of you. I told myself that I couldn’t hurt
the people who loved me, so I had to survive… Now I know loving is easier than hating, and
I don’t want to be controlled by my hatred any longer,” Quinton confessed honestly, not
wanting to hide anything from his sister.
“Does that mean that you’ve forgiven Joanne? Do you not hate her anymore?” Renee
asked carefully as she watched him.
“Maybe. I don’t know but it’s no longer important…” Melancholy and regret swam in his
eyes. “We can’t change the past, and the dead can’t come back. It doesn’t matter if I
wronged her or she wronged me; nothing’s going to change.”
“Umm… What if I told you Joanne is still alive? What would you do?” Holding her breath,
Renee asked tentatively.
“Alive?” Quinton’s eyes lit up briefly, then became dull again. “That’s impossible. Although
she grew up in a fishing village, she wasn’t a swimmer. There’s no way she could have
survived being stranded in the ocean.” For so many years, he had been searching for
Joanne, but to no avail. The only possibility was that she was dead.
“Yes, she’s alive. Although she nearly died, she got lucky, or maybe… she was just like you.
She didn’t want to die with regrets, so she held on,” Renee said firmly. She was a little
worried at first, but his words revealed his deep feelings for Joanne. He deserved to know
the truth.
“W-What did you say?” Quinton stared at Renee in disbelief, thinking he had misheard her.
“I said Joanne is still alive. She nearly got killed, but survived just like you.”
