Susan initially wanted to scold Joanna, but upon seeing her dejected expression, her heart softened. She couldn't bear to say anything harsh to her, and said instead, "I know that Ace nearly died in your hands again. I don't know what he's done to make you do this to him repeatedly, but you were once my daughter-in-law. Do me the favor and stay far away from Ace for his sake. Don't you see accidents always happen when you both get close to each other? The both of you might love each other truly, but you're not suitable for each other." Susan sincerely liked and admired Joanna, but unfortunately, she was not fated to be with her son.
Susan felt that she had to break them up for the sake of Ace's health.
Joanna nodded calmly. "Don't worry, you don't have to remind me. I know that I should stay far away from Ace but sometimes I need to come to him for urgent matters. It's alright, I'll give you my word now that I'll never see him again unless I'm forced to."
