Chapter 2073 Renee shook her head.

*I've experienced a lot of pain, but they're bygones now. They're like the scars on my hands. Slowly, they don't hurt anymore. For example, seeing your parents jump off a tall building and fall in front of you in a pool of blood. Then, your beloved man ignored and betrayed you... There are so many examples. Pain is individual and can't be compared or quantified." "I think I understand." Joanne took a deep breath as if she was suddenly enlightened.

"I always thought that my life was dark and dull," she said gloomily. "My destiny was miserable. But when I think about it, I feel that it isn't easy for everyone. Everyone's bound to have sregrets in their lives. I shouldn't dwell on my past and keep using it to punish my current self." "That's right. It's what I want to tell you." Renee felt better because Joanne was finally enlightened.

They continued with their lesson. When Joanne resumed studying, she was more attentive than ever. Her messy thoughts no longer disrupted her.

When the lesson ended, Renee started chatting with Joanne again.

*Joanne, I'm curious about one thing. How bad was your family? Why do you and Quinton act like you want to keep the secret hidden every tyou bring it up?" she asked.

"Very bad." Joanne avoided Renee's gaze, flipping through a book, as if she didn't want to talk about her complicated family.

Renee knew that Joanne wanted to avoid that topic, but she was the only one who might know what Quinton had experienced. It would help Renee to find the truth behind the separation between Quinton and their parents.

'Letbe frank with you. I went to an old friend's house a while back. His house is located in a fishing village. It happened to be close to your village. Then, my friend and I went out to sea and rode on a boat to the village you guys lived in before..." Renee began.

A lingering fear gripped Renee when she recalled that incident.

"That village gavea weird feeling. Only an old woman is left there. She said something ambiguous. There seem to be srumors about your family, too..." "What? You... went to that village?" Joanne was tense all of a sudden.

She couldn't relax. She gripped a page of the book, terrified.

"Why did you go there for no reason? That village is long gone, with molone around. How could an old woman be living there?" she went on. "Yes, the village is deserted. But I saw an old woman..." Renee said.

"What are you trying to find?" Joanne quickly stood up and looked at Renee in terror. "The past is the past. You know Why No you want to look into it? Why do you want to punish your current life with the past?"

*Joanne, calm down. I'm just asking. Renee did not expect such agitation from Joanne and decided to stop NO poking the issue. "I'm not bothered by your past, but I want to know more about you guys." "What do you want to know?" Joanne calmed down, but was frosty.

Renee flexed her fingers. "There's only one thing I want to know..."
