Chapter 1924
Joanne stared at Renee contemplatively. "Just tell me what you want since you were so determined to meet me." It was not the first time Renee had asked Joanne out for coffee, and Joanne usually ignored all her texts. She knew Renee hadn't expected her to show up.
Renee sighed dramatically. "We escaped death together, but you still don't trust me. I just want to talk to you, so there's no need to be so suspicious!" Renee smiled at Joanne warmly, speaking like she was an old friend.
"Really?" Joanne relaxed slightly. She picked up the glass of lemon water in front of her and sipped it.
"Why should I lie?" Renee added sincerely, "You might not consider me a friend, but I see you as one. I've always wanted to talk to you over coffee."
Joanne pursed her lips, then lowered her head and stirred her drink absent-mindedly. "How have you been lately? I heard that... you got into trouble. You almost died, didn't you?'
"That's right." Renee nodded. 'Honestly, my days have been full of ups and downs. I became blind and nearly died from poisoning."
"So, it's true..." Joanne's eyes widened in horror, and she looked at Renee sympathetically. She couldn't imagine what Renee had gone through.
'Don't feel sorry for me what happened to me is nothing compared to what you've been through. Don't worry, I'm a strong person!" Renee laughed and rubbed her nose awkwardly. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org
"We can't compare pain." Joanne placed her hand on Renee's and said solemnly, "I know how you feel-I've been there. I can tell that you're not doing so well."
"It's fine. Things are still good, so we should meet while we can. Fate is strange, and I could die tomorrow... Who would you meet for coffee then?" Renee said teasingly.
'Don't say that. It's unlucky!" Joanne scolded lightly. "You were right-we're friends who escaped death together. We shouldn't waste the time we have."
"You're right!" Renee nodded firmly. Even though Joanne had been through hell, she was still such a pure and kind soul. A person like her deserved happiness.
The waiter served them their desserts, and Renee enthusiastically introduced her favorite food to Joanne. They behaved like they had been best friends for many years. They tried each other's desserts and kept gushing over them, giggling like schoolgirls.
*Joanne, what have you been up to lately? You're so hard to reach!"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
