The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 1991

As expected, Joanne woke up after a while. Her head was bandaged, and she looked weak and pale. Renee was too afraid to let Quinton see her in case he might upset her. She gently opened the door and walked in, carrying a tray of fruits and smiling. "Joanne, what a coincidence to see you again so soon!"

Joanne looked past Renee to make sure she was alone, then glared at her coldly. "Is it? Didn't you cause this?"

"Umm..." Renee kept her head hung as she nudged the carpet with her foot awkwardly, too ashamed to face Joanne. "It's not what you think... You know how crazy my brother is, and you can't stop him when he goes mad. I didn't expect this to happen either."

Joanne imagined people tackling Quinton to the ground to stop him, and her body relaxed in amusement. However, she couldn't laugh in front of Renee, so she took a deep breath and whispered, "Where am I? Your brother... won't disturb me again, right?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Actually... this is my house," Renee confessed. "My brother also lives here."

"What? He's here too?" The blood drained from Joanne's face and she immediately became nervous. She pushed the blanket off her and tried to find a place to hide, her fear of Quinton overwhelming her. Hearing that she was in his house made her even more desperate to run away.

"Relax..." Renee hurriedly tried to comfort her. "Although he lives here, my house is pretty big. If you don't want to see him, I'll forbid him from approaching this floor. You guys won't have to see each other." Renee knew that she needed Joanne to trust her. If Joanne let her guard down, the issue between her and Quinton could be resolved. If not, they would argue with each other when they met, and things between them would never get better.

"Can I leave?" Joanne's eyes were watery as she asked Renee.

"Sure." Naturally, Renee would not force Joanne to stay, but she didn't want to see things end like that for Joanne and Quinton. She shamelessly tried to persuade Joanne, "But you've just woken up and your body is still very weak. The doctor suggested that you rest for at least ten to fourteen days before you start moving around again."

"I can't stay here for long." Joanne shook her head, looking uncomfortable and anxious.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my brother away. I won't let him disturb you."

"It's not because of him."
