The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

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."
