"Dad, you're asking me to forgive Annie just because she said sorry. You're giving her a chance to change."
"Do you know what she has done to me before you say those words?"
"If you know, and still say that, aren't you being too biased?"
When Joanna said the last sentence, there was weariness and disappointment in her tone. She mocked herself and curled her lips, "Why am I telling you this? How could you not know all these things? But you chose to help her, didn't you? Think of me as you like, if you think I've changed, then I have changed. I'm not kind or generous now, I've disappointed you."
"I repeat, I won't accept Annie's apology, and I can't forgive her—ever. "
As Joanna said the last sentence, she looked coldly at Annie without a trace of warmth in her eyes. "I won't see you again. The bond between us as sisters is long gone. Don't call me your sister anymore. After all, we're not related by blood, are we?"
