This made Ace feel even more doubtful. "What is our relationship? Why would you put in so much effort just to treat me? Don't you know the consequences of transferring me to another place in secret?"
"I don't care as long as you can get better." Joanna said, determined. She knew that if Seraphina or Susan found out about her actions, she would have to take quite a heavy fall. However, Nancy mentioned that they needed him to be in a completely secluded area if he were to receive proper treatment.
With no other choice, she merely decided to improvise.
"Hmph, and yet you still refuse to reveal our relation to each other. No matter how generous and kind you're being, all of this is just too odd for me to trust you."
The only person Ace could trust right now, was Seraphina. Hence, his tone was frigid when he spoke to Joanna. "As long as you send me back to Seraphina's side, I can consider letting you off."
