It’s a great place for recovering.” “Oh, by the way, your father owned some shares in Greenwood Sanatorium.
If you’re up to it, you can help us with the place.
Your father was great at doing business, and I’m sure you’ll be even better!” Yulia, Sebastian’s wife, watched Quinton tenderly.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“You look more like your mother than Flossie.
Your mother was once my best friend…” There were four renowned beauties in the past: Flossie’s mother, Yulia, Francine, and the last was an extremely lowkey woman— the secret lover of Jerome South, the chairman of South Group.
People knew her by her surname, Chase, but no one knew her real name.
She had a daughter called Nancy, who was even prettier than her, but also led a complicated life like her mother.
Unfortunately, Nancy had also gone missing, and someone heard that she had been sentenced to death after committing a crime.
Other rumours claimed that she had gone abroad to be a boss of some kind.
In short, she was a legendary woman, just like her mother.
“You were my mother’s best friend?” Quinton looked at Yulia in wonder, feeling like he was staring at his mother.
Emotions whirled in his eyes, and tears welled up in them.
“Do you have a lot of pictures with her? Can I see them?” “Sure, I keep them in albums.
I’ll bring them over next time,” Yulia said softly, offering him a tremulous smile.
Quinton reminded Yulia of Eleanor Cruz, Quinton’s mother, and it broke Yulia’s heart.
Yulia felt that the accident might not have happened if she had spent more time with Eleanor back then.
“Everyone, today’s a reunion, and it’s a happy event.
Let’s not make it so tense.
Before we plan anything, we should feast first!” Flossie exclaimed cheerfully, quickly leading everyone to their seats.
She felt that even if they wanted to take revenge, they should be rational about it.
Eventually, everyone stopped bringing up the past and started enjoying the food.
“Well, I think we should make an announcement to all the people in Beach City that the eldest son of the Ellsworth family has returned.
We can make it a grand ceremony, and I’ll even invite all the noble families to it!” Flossie declared as she raised her wine glass.
She felt that Quinton had suffered a lot in the past and had never been supported by his family, so by doing this, she would give him a sense of belonging and show people how powerful their family was.
“No, it’s a waste of time and effort.
This party is already more than enough, and I’m glad to have you all with me,” Quinton said softly.
It was nice to be recognized and well-known, but he no longer felt like he needed the approval of strangers.
“Not at all.
You’re my brother, and you deserve the best! I want to make it up to you,” Flossie insisted.
She was usually a lowkey person and wasn’t good at holding grand events, but she felt like she had to do this for her brother’s sake.
The Ellsworth gathering continued until night, and everyone went home after having a great time.
Both Flossie and Quinton were tipsy after the party, and once everyone had left, they strolled beside the stream around the manor.
“Quinton, I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but…
I feel like you’ve been a bit down lately.
Is something troubling you?” Flossie asked him, face flushed as she let out a burp.
She tried her best to make him happy, but always felt like something was lacking.
“I saw a woman who looked very much like someone I once knew in the hospital today.
It made me think of the past…
I wondered if she would be happy to see me reunited with my family if she were alive.” Quinton chuckled bitterly.
“No, she probably wouldn’t be.
She resented me, so why would she be happy for me?” Flossie’s heart ached for him, and she asked tentatively, “Umm…
Is that person Joanne?”
Quinton felt conflicted as he turned to look at Flossie, 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.” Flossie 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?” Flossie asked carefully as she watched him.
