Chapter 1301: Chapter 1297: Do you want to know what happened that year?

"Jeremy, there were some things that Ashton and I didn’t want to tell you because we were afraid you would be heartbroken. But now, Joanna just wants you to be safe and sound; nothing else matters. So even if what I’m about to tell you will make you sad, I still need you to know the truth."

Jeremy: "Joanna, what do you want to tell me?"

Joanna looked at the thin and handsome young man in front of her, seeing his pale and sickly face, her eyes filled with heartache.

Why did her Jeremy have to suffer so much?

She would rather the Heath family had never found Jeremy.

She’d rather Jeremy remained an ordinary person forever.

She never desired a life of wealth and luxury; to her, their safety and health mattered more than anything else.

Ordinary people have their own happiness too.

No matter how wealthy and powerful the Heath family is, if they bring danger to her Jeremy, they’re not a good place to be.

"Jeremy, do you want to know what happened back then?" Joanna took a deep breath, gently holding his hand and asked, "About your parents and why you were sent to the orphanage. If you want to know, I’ll tell you."

Jeremy was stunned for a few seconds.

Did he want to know?

Of course, he did.

Ever since he learned about his biological parents, he had been wondering what happened back then.

No one wouldn’t want to know their true origin.

After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"Alright, I’ll tell you." Joanna organized her thoughts and began, "Years ago, your mother was diagnosed with late-stage cancer during a check-up. The doctor said that with proper treatment, she could live for one more year at most."

Jeremy looked up, his eyes filled with shock.

Ashton had told Joanna these things too.

At the time, she also found it very poignant.

"Your mother was born into a scholarly family, so she always led a disciplined life. When she learned she had cancer and would leave this world soon, she decided to indulge herself for once before leaving."

"She traveled abroad and met your father at a hotel. At that time, your father was still single."

"Your mother was said to be very beautiful, and your father was almost love at first sight for her. You probably know what happened next; they got together and spent a wonderful time together abroad."

"Your father wanted to take her back to his family to get to know them, but your mother chose to leave without saying goodbye."

"She disappeared completely, and your father couldn’t find her even with many connections. Eventually, the Heath family arranged a marriage for your father with a family of matching status. Your father gave up trying to find your mother and accepted this marriage."

"Not long after his marriage, your father finally found your mother’s whereabouts. When he went to her, you had just been born, and she was lying on the bed, barely alive. Your father... saw her one last time and then took you back to the Heath family."

When Joanna said this, she looked up and found Jeremy’s eyes red.

The young man clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

He tried to hold back his tears, but his eyes were already wet.

Joanna held his hand tightly: "Your father loved you very much. He brought you back after causing this incident outside, which was against the rules of the Heath family. Those who violated the rules had to accept punishment."
