"Hey, what's the matter? You're scaring me. Are you really my brother?" Joanna asked teasingly as she held Quinton's face and scrutinized him.
After that, she nodded solemnly.
"Hmm... You're handsome, so you must be my brother." "Heh.
You know I can't get mad at you." Quinton rubbed Joanna's head dotingly and left the hospital together with her.
Joanne was standing in a corner out of sight, and she watched them until they left.
She dug her nails into her skin as her heart throbbed painfully.
"Quinton..." Past memories of Quinton doting on her the way he did with Joanna flashed in her mind.
How had things ended up like this? The car sped along and finally stopped in front of Pierce Manor.
It was once a burned-down manor that frightened people, but after Quinton's meticulous repairs, its liveliness and warmth had returned.
Adie and Abby loved the place very much, especially Abby.
