Chapter 701 Respect Her Decision (1/2)
Jean didn't stop Joy. Instead, she stood still and watched her crying loudly. Realizing Joy needed time to express herself, Jean decided to stay silent. At the moment, Joy was so sad that expressing her grief was her only choice.
Internally, Jean's mind begged her to say something but her heart stopped her from taking any actions.
”Please forgive me for lying to you. I can't see you anymore. Goodbye, my child. I love you so much, Shirley...” Joy crawled on the floor. She cried loudly and her whole body trembled with pain.
The scene in front of her was so sad. Juan couldn't help but burst into tears. He walked towards Joy wanting to console her. ”Please don't cry. You've made your decision. Now there is no point in being sad. Please stop because you are making me sad too. I'm crying...”
Juan tried to pull her up as he spoke to her in his quivering voice.

”If Shirley comes to know that I am suffering, she will be shattered. I don't want to make her more miserable than she already is. Life in jail is already tough for her. I don't want to increase her burden. She will be extremely worried about me if she sees my pale and gaunt face. Therefore, this is going to be the last time I am seeing her.
I want to part with her leaving a good memory. In them, I will still be a beautiful and strong mum. I don't want to be remembered as a pale and old patient. She needn't worry about me when she has her own life to concentrate on. Jean, I know you are a good girl. Will you be able to keep this secret? Don't tell her the truth, okay?”
Joy entreated a favour from Jean.
Jean couldn't help but burst into tears again when she heard what Joy had to say. She shook her head vehemently in refusal. ”No, I don't think I can do this. I can't keep any secrets for
