Actually, Neil did not know whether this woman has a mental illness or not. Aura told him that she had mental issues and abused her son daily, but her son was secretly bearing through it, not planning on telling others. That was why Aura got him to help out.At that time, he did not even know who Luna was, but he did it still. However, a few nights back, when he saw her walking alone under the heavy rain, he still could not help but get her to get in the car.Later on, he also chatted with this woman. He felt that this woman was not the type who would suddenly be depressed and turn violent, hitting people. At that moment, she said she was about to be locked up in a mental asylum…“S-Since you don’t have the time, it’s fine, then.”Neil was silent for a while. In the end, he sighed and said, “I hope you get well soon, pretty lady.”Luna opened her mouth. The words she wanted to say were still stuck in her throat, yet the disconnecting tone already came from her phone.She was
Luna lifted her head and looked at Robert in front of her. He had a head full of grey hair. He looked stern and noble, there was compassion in between his brows.However, who would have thought that such a great doctor in the medical field would deliberately make a mistake killing Violet and her father just to be with Janice? His heart was despicable. It was so disgusting it was nauseating! However, even if Luna hated him, she still had to bow down to him at that moment.She pursed her lips and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a feeble gaze.“Old Mr. Jenson, I think there is still room for discussion.” Luna sniffled her nose and moved her tied-up limbs a little. “What you want, I can actually…”“I have already gotten what I want.”Robert adjusted his golden-rimmed spectacles, he smiled evilly and arrogantly.“All these years, the thing I mattered the most was Janice’s parents looking down on me because of our age difference. I did not get to marry the person
Luna bit her lips. Despair washed over her in waves.If she could not get Robert to prove that Fiona’s diagnosis was fake, she could not bring Fiona down. She would not be able to let Joshua see Fiona’s true colors! That would mean that she would not be able to flush Aura, who was hiding in the dark, out. She would also not be able to get Neil and Theo to return to her.Even if she and Christian thoroughly investigated Robert’s most terrifying matter, at that moment, it looked like it was all in vain.Robert and Fiona were a team. From the beginning, it was a dead-end. She could not solve it. Looking at Luna’s pupils gradually turning lax, the light in her eyes dimming, Robert laughed smugly. He got up and kept his folder.“I hear that the mental asylum in Banyan City is tightly guarded. No one could escape. Ms. Luna, I wish you all the best.”Then, Robert opened the door and left.Luna lay in bed, her mind was in a mess.She could vaguely hear Robert using a serious tone te
Joshua sighed helplessly at her words. He reached out a hand and tidied her messy hair. “You’re spouting nonsense again.” The words that were about to leave her throat remained stuck there when she heard him. She wanted to tell him that the boy who accused her of domestic violence, of having an unstable mind, was actually Neil. She also wanted to tell him, that night at the fireworks celebration that the man she hugged whilst hidden behind the rocks on the beach was actually Theo. But his words ‘spouting nonsense’ made her swallow the truth down into her stomach again. What was the point in talking to him any further? To him, she was only ‘spouting nonsense’. So she chose to shut her mouth, no longer wasting energy to explain herself to him. However, to Joshua, Luna’s actions looked like obedience gained after her little secrets were exposed. He sighed deeply. It was all his fault. When Luna just woke up, he was busy with Nigel’s bone marrow transport and taking care of Fiona
As she spoke, she even started wiping at her tears. “If I knew Ms. Luna was in this condition, I would not have argued with her over certain matters…”Luna raised her lips in a sneer. In front of her, the figures of both Fiona and Joshua became smaller and smaller, but she could still vaguely hear Fiona’s hypocritical tone. It made her sick.…Luna was brought to the mental asylum. All of the staff members were polite and courteous to her, the man that brought her there even tended to her wounds personally. Luna looked at the man as he held his head low, focused on applying the balm on her wounds, and her eyebrows furrowed together. “Can you untie me?” The rope had bound her wrists together for the past five or six hours, the part of her skin that came in contact with the ropes was already rubbed raw, every movement brought pain that echoed in her core. But the man smiled coldly. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. If I untie you, problems will arise when I treat you later on.”Luna
Luna bit her lip and threw herself on the floor, squashing the ball of paper beneath her. Then she turned and smiled cheerily at the nurse and said, “This is fun…so fun!”She exerted all her strength into twisting and turning her body, acting as if she had really lost her mind, and turned and laughed cheekily at the nurse. The nurse must be used to seeing patients getting such attacks like this in the middle of the night, she merely frowned and slammed the door shut with a bang, shouting, “Get some sleep!”Listening to the nurse’s retreating footsteps outside the door, Luna sighed a long breath of relief and wiped at the cold sweat beading on her forehead. Finally, she took out the piece of paper hidden underneath her body. Opening the ball of paper, she saw a line of strong, big letters that read, ‘Hang in there. I’m thinking of a way to contact your friends so they can come to save you. I'll try to come up with a plan too. This is a communication device that I made. If it works
In the Orchard Manor, Nigel’s computer kept beeping, notifying him that a new message had been received. But the little guy was not in the mood to check his messages at all. At that moment, he and his little sister were busy conducting a hunger strike to protest against Joshua. Throughout the entire day, no matter what they did, they failed to get in touch with Luna. At first, they thought she was sleeping at home and did not pay much thought to it. But later on, no matter how many calls they made, they still failed to contact her in person. In the end, her phone was even switched off completely. So Neil contacted Anne. Anne and John rushed to the Blue Bay Villa but did not see Luna, instead, they saw Joshua and Fiona walking out one after the other. There was someone else with them, an old man with snow-white hair and wearing a pair of wire-rimmed glasses. After that, no one could contact Luna, no matter who it was. Nellie and Nigel contacted everyone they knew but no one had an
Joshua sighed and glanced at the two children in front of him. For Luna, they refused to eat or drink and insisted on confronting him. He knew that if he did not give them an answer tonight, they would not give up. “Joshua, say something!” Beside them, Granny Lynch wiped at her sweat anxiously and sat on the chair coughing. The two children had not eaten or drunk any water in the last 13 hours! Joshua sighed, and promised reluctantly, saying, “Eat, I’ll bring you to see Luna tomorrow.” Nellie turned and met her brother’s eyes. He gave her a meaningful glance. Even though he and Joshua had not known each other for long, he understood how difficult it was to make someone like Joshua, who was resolutely firm in all his business decisions, offer them a compromise in such a short period of time. They should not cross the line. Otherwise, if they angered him, they might not even be able to meet their mommy. The two children exchanged glances, then climbed onto their chairs and star
