Chapter 991
Joanne might as well get herself pregnant with someone else. She could not conceive a child anyway, and she would definitely be exposed if this dragged on.
It was getting dark. Joanne leaned against the railing by the road to rest as she could not walk anymore.
Feeling tired and hungry and in a very bad mood, Joanne eventually fell asleep on the spot.
The cold wind blew recklessly as she slept...
Joanne had a dream which brought her back to the days when she used to live with her family.
The Winters Family ran a small and medium-sized company.
Her father was always very busy with work. While Missus Winters was pregnant with Joanne, her husband actually had a mistress outside, and he even got her pregnant!
During the second stage of Missus Winters' pregnancy, she accidentally fell down the stairs. In addition to the dystocia, she died as she gave birth to Joanne.
From there, her stepmother moved into the Winters Residence, which was where Joanne's nightmare all began...
For various reasons, she was constantly suppressed by her stepmother. Joanne tried to please her father to gain some family affection, but she was always ridiculed by her stepmother. Eventually, her relationship with her father went down the drain, and Mister Winters started to hate Joanne more and more as time passed by.
Once, she was chased and bit by a dog in the woods. In the midst of it, she accidentally fell into a cave.
It was dark and scary.
Joanne thought that her father would come to her rescue. However, three days had passed without him showing up. Joanne was on the verge of starving to death before she was rescued by a kind-hearted passerby.
Joanne eventually returned to the Winters Residence. She thought that perhaps her father could not locate her after she had gone missing, and he must be worried sick.
However, reality just slapped Joanne right across the face.
No one in the Winters Family actually cared about her life and death. When she went back, she happened to hear her father telling his mistress' daughter that he would spend a huge amount of money on sending her to the best university in the country.
In other words, Joanne was nothing to her father.
Since then, she ran away from home, cutting ties with the Winters Family.
Luckily for Joanne, she was born with a pretty face due to the excellent genes of the Winters Family. Eventually, she befriended Catelyn, who helped her financially before she got into college.
Even in her sleep, Joanne was afraid of this horrible memory. She hugged her knees as tears flowed out from her eyes...
Suddenly, two strong rays of light suddenly lit up in front of Joanne. She was instantly awake, raising her hands subconsciously to block the blinding light.
