The Untouchable Ex-Wife



The air seemed to crackle with tension. Joanne said nothing as she took a tissue to wipe her lips, then stood up to leave with her bag.

"Hey, Joannel What are you doing..." Renee immediately gripped Joanne's wrist and smiled charmingly. "I was just messing with you, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. Why are you getting upset?"

"Why did you bring it up if you know I don't like to talk about it? It's like you want me to leave! "Joanne snapped, her previous warmth instantly gone.

"It's a special treatment!" Renee pursed her lips, sounding serious.

Joanne frowned. What's that?"

"Immunotherapy!" Renee cleared her throat and elaborated, "You know, people couldn't cure fever in the past. The only resolution was to keep getting fever until their bodies built antibodies to fight off bacteria. After a while, less people fell sick, and finally, there was no disease in that area."

What kind of crap is that? Does it have anything to do... with you mentioning that person?" Joanne was still reluctant to talk about Quinton. She knew she couldn't take him out or remove those memories, but she could stay away from him and everything related to him, including his friends, family, and the topics relevant to him. She knew she shouldn't have agreed to meet Renee since-she was Quinton's sister, after all. They were bound to talk about Quinton since Renee was so close to him, but Joanne had wanted to befriend Renee because she had risked her life to save her once. Besides, Renee was Stefan's most beloved woman and she was a charming person, so Joanne summoned the courage to meet her after tuming her down so many times. In the end, she had brought up Quinton, and hearing that name made Joanne tense and become stressed... She hated herself for losing control like this.

"Of course!" Renee got up and pressed Joanne's shoulders to make her sit down, then carefully explained, "Don't you think my brother is like the bacteria causing the fever? He's strong now, so you're scared of him and try to stay away from him, but that isn't a solution. You should face him properly so you can become immune to him, then you'll gain true success!"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"That's ridiculous!" Joanne disagreed vehemently. "If you put it that way, your brother is more like a deadly virus. I stay away from him because I know that I can't defeat him. If I go near him, I'll die.' Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

"No, that won't happen!" Renee protested. "He's different now-he's not as vicious as before. He is like a virus that might make you sick, but he won't kill you. You won't know since you're not in contact with him. He's quite peaceful and gentle now. He rarely gets mad too... He's like a different man. He even moved on from his hatred towards Stefan. Knowing all this, do you still think he's scary?"
