Chapter 358: Chapter 360: She shouldn’t bother me again in the future

"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.

So, it wasn’t Jeremy inviting Regina alone, but he was deceived by her to go.

"Joanna, don’t worry. I won’t have a puppy-love relationship." Jeremy finished speaking, took a deep breath, looked up at Joanna’s worried and caring eyes, and squeezed out a smile from the corner of his lips. "I’ve made it clear to her today, and she shouldn’t bother me anymore in the future."

"I’ll study hard and get into a good university. All these things won’t affect me."

Joanna looked at his forced smile, feeling heartbroken.

How could she not understand her own brother?

Jeremy might not have liked Regina at first.

But it’s easy for a girl’s pursuit of a boy to break through the defenses, and Regina was such a charming and cute girl who pursued him tirelessly for several years. It was difficult for Jeremy to maintain his initial mindset and not become infatuated with her.

If he didn’t care about her at all, he wouldn’t be in this state now.

Joanna wanted to say a few comforting words to him but didn’t know what to say.

She noticed some things, but she couldn’t ask about them directly.

For her, this outcome was good.

From the attitude of Rebecca Kelloway toward Jeremy, she could see the heavy emphasis on family status in the Kelloway family.

Now, the Lawrence family is definitely looked down upon by the Kelloway family.

Even if Regina really liked Jeremy, it wouldn’t mean anything.

Even if they both went to college, their paths would probably diverge from coast to coast. Would the Kelloways, with their heavy emphasis on family status, allow Regina and Jeremy to be together?

When she thought of Rebecca’s contemptuous words, Joanna felt very angry.

If it wasn’t for Ashton being there, she wouldn’t have let Rebecca leave so easily.

Ashton had already had a falling-out with Frank Parker because of her, and she didn’t want to cause him too much trouble.

Now, Jeremy had thoroughly rejected Regina, and judging from her reaction, she should have given up on him.

This outcome was better for both of them.

Even if the two young people would be sad for a while because of this, it’s better than the pain they would have experienced if they really got together.

"Hmm, Joanna believes in you. It’s good that you can think it through," Joanna remained silent for a while before gently placing a hand on his shoulder, then spoke earnestly, "Jeremy, the most important thing for me now is to have your surgery done as soon as possible so that you can recover quickly."

"This is more important than anything else."

Thinking of his illness, Jeremy’s eyes darkened.

Regina must not know about his illness, right?

If she knew he had a heart condition that could cause his death at any moment, would she still like him?
