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

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."

"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."
