"The doctor said that staying happy and joyful is beneficial for your body, so I hope you can always be carefree and not have too many troubles," Joanna said.
Jeremy was taken aback and withdrew his gaze.
He turned his head and looked at the sister on whom he depended for everything. His heart suddenly felt sour, and his eyes reddened instantly. Choking back tears, he said, "Joanna, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just thought I could handle it by myself, so there was no need to tell you."
"Rebecca Kelloway and I..." The image of her tear-streaked face floated in his mind, and Jeremy felt a slight stabbing in his heart, "She's my classmate and sits at my desk. She said she likes me, wants to chase after me, and wants me to be her boyfriend."
"I've rejected her many times."
"She said today was her birthday, and many of our classmates would go to that restaurant to celebrate with her. So, I went too."
Joanna nodded, understanding the situation.
