Chapter 1051

Author: Inked Snow
Listening to the beeps of the phone, Luna felt confused and upset. She did not know what Joshua did to Nigel on the other end of the phone, but judging from Joshua’s tone when he entered the room, he sounded as if he was there to accuse Nigel of a crime.

Did he…find out she had escaped and knew that Nigel was somehow involved?

Luna rested against the headboard, gripping the phone tightly in her right hand, trying to calm herself but failing repeatedly.

Would Joshua give Nigel a hard time? If he did, what could Luna do?

Her fear grew the more she thought about it, but she did not dare call him.

If… If Joshua did not realize that she had escaped, calling Nigel would just serve to expose herself.

While she was in the middle of her frenzied thoughts, Gwen pushed open the door with a tray of food in her hands. Seeing her uneasy expression, she set up the bed tray and frowned as she spoke, “What are you thinking about?”

Luna raised her head and told Gwen about Nigel’s call. “I’m

    Janice Yale was nowhere to be seen. No matter how the police investigated, they failed to discover where the woman went. At the end of the video, Robert Jenson’s lying face appeared. He was sobbing in front of the camera, looking heartbroken. “My wife and I have loved each other for years, and we just got married a few years ago. She’s still so young! How can something like this happen to her…? Her phone, wallet, and keys are all in the hotel. I tried everything but failed to get in touch with her, and the only clue we have is this video clip…but the two children in the video denied ever meeting my wife…”Luna watched the video, her heart beating furiously in fear. How did Nellie and Nigel get to know Janice Yale? Why would Janice disappear all of a sudden? Her husband tried everything but failed to get in touch with her, and there was no record of her leaving Banyan City, and even up until this very moment, she was still missing…Luna closed her eyes. This was the same situation a

    At the man’s words, the air in the living room grew so quiet and heavy that it felt difficult to breathe. Nigel looked at Joshua, his laptop still on his lap, his big eyes blinking repeatedly as he stared at his father. “Mr. Lynch, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He set the laptop down and wore an innocent expression on his face. “I’m just a six-year-old kid, and I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t understand anything.” Joshua narrowed his eyes, and a chill flashed across his eyes. Other six-year-olds might not know anything, but his two children…He took a deep breath, forcing his fury down his throat. “Nigel, I’ll ask you one more time: were you the one behind Janice Yale’s disappearance? All of the evidence is pointing toward you, so explain yourself truthfully! You’re just a boy, but you’re already kidnapping women?” Nigel narrowed his eyes and looked at Joshua’s clearly defined features, finally abandoning the innocent act. He crossed his arms over hi

    Although Nigel kept reminding her to remain calm, Nellie could not contain herself any longer.Since they were young, Mommy protected them from all the evil in the world, but now, they could not protect their mother. She was locked away in an asylum, and…even endured such suffering!At the thought of the news that Nigel found out from the hospital records in Sea City, Nellie could not help herself and bit her lip, anger burning in her chest.Mommy had a finger amputated today! Among the two people in front of her, one was responsible for locking her up in an asylum, while the other wrongly accused her mother of being ill. These two were still fine; all of their fingers remained intact! Facing the two enraged children, Fiona bid her lip, her eyes turning red. “Nellie, Nigel… That’s not what I meant, I…” Her eyes flashed and she hurriedly poured another cup of tea for Nigel and handed it to him. “Don’t be angry. I shouldn’t have said that; I should’ve been more tactful…” As she

    Joshua massaged his temples and remained quiet.Fiona sighed. “Actually, I think both Nigel and Nellie are good children… In the past even if Nellie didn't like me, she was never this rude…” As she spoke, she patted Joshua’s shoulder, her voice full of feigned sadness. “Cheer up, Joshua. The children are still young, and they can be re-educated.” With that, she stood up, turned, and left. Joshua leaned back on the sofa in exhaustion, lifted his hand, and rubbed at his aching temples. Nellie and Nigel… Had Luna misguided them after all?...“Ms. Blake, according to netizens’ analysis, the two children that took Mrs. Jenson are apparently Mr. Joshua Lynch’s son and daughter, is that correct?”“Ms. Blake, how does Mr. Lynch plan to handle his children’s rumored kidnapping of Mrs. Jenson? And what are your thoughts on this issue?” “Ms. Blake, Mr. Jenson said that if Mr. Lynch’s children don’t release his wife within twenty-four hours, he’ll report this to the police and have th

    “Nigel?” Fiona curled her lips into a sneer. “He’s at home right now, receiving punishment for what he did. Children should be punished if they’re disobedient and go against their elders’ orders.”She shifted into a more comfortable position gracefully and continued, “Joshua has already decided last night to adopt a stricter approach to the children, so now, he has confiscated all of their devices. Not only are you unable to contact them, but even if you go to Orchard Manor or Blue Bay Villa right away, you won’t be able to see them either.“Joshua said that since they’ve been brainwashed by Luna, they’re now psychologically unsound, so he wants to send them to a professional education center. Even though it’s called an education center, in reality, it’s just a place to keep them shut in a windowless room…”Anne bit down on her lip when she heard this. Her hand gripped the phone so hard that her knuckles turned white. “Nigel and Nellie are Joshua’s children. How can he treat them li

    Meanwhile, at the mental asylum located on the city outskirts...As soon as the director, Mr. Chase, found out that the famous Joshua Lynch had arrived, he was so startled that he rushed out to greet him without even putting his clothes on properly.“I want to see Luna,” Joshua ordered coldly as he strode through the entrance.Mr. Chase was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweats. “Mr. Lynch…um… Ms. Luna doesn’t want to see you…”Joshua scoffed. “I don’t care. I want to see her!”Mr. Chase could not help shuddering when he saw the cold, hard look in Joshua’s eyes. He knew there was no hiding the truth anymore, so he gritted his teeth and got down on his knees in front of Joshua with a thud. “Mr. Lynch! I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I didn’t keep a strict eye on Luna, and she…ran away…”Luna ran away?Joshua was so shocked by this that he immediately stood up from his chair. He grabbed hold of Mr. Chase’s collar and snapped, his handsome features contorted in anger, “Did

    “Are you Dr. Robert’s wife? How can you say he misdiagnosed Luna? Dr. Robert has never made this kind of mistake before in his life!”Janice sneered and replied, “What do you mean, he has never done this before? All he did was cover up his tracks and was never discovered.”With that, she smiled and glanced at Joshua. “Didn’t you agree with Dr. Robert’s diagnosis that Luna has a mental illness, Mr. Lynch?”Joshua narrowed his eyes but did not say anything in reply.Janice curled her lips into a smirk and snickered. “I didn’t know how rigid and unrelenting of a person you are, Mr. Lynch. I guess in the end, you’d rather believe some words on a page than a living, breathing human being, don’t you? Can’t you tell the difference between someone who’s really sick and who’s not?As soon as he heard this, Joshua’s expression darkened, and he replied in a low voice, “Mrs. Jenson, you shouldn’t be here at all. Dr. Robert has been looking for you the whole day.”“Is that so?” she replied wi

    At the hospital in Sea City.No matter how hard Gwen and Luke tried to stop Luna from seeing the news in Banyan City, she still found out about Fiona’s interview.What Fiona said in her interview made Luna feel anxious and worried. Every single sentence she said had a double meaning to it, as though she could not wait to tell the entire world how bad Nigel and Nellie were for kidnapping Dr. Robert’s wife!She even mentioned something about Joshua keeping Nigel and Nellie locked up at home for reeducation…What kind of reeducation did she mean?Luna clutched her phone and called Nigel and Nellie nonstop, but no matter how many times she called, there was no answer.Finally, she had no choice but to dial Anne’s number.Initially, Anne had wanted to hide everything from Luna as well. Still, she was a straightforward and outspoken person, so after a bit of coaxing and trickery on Luna’s part, Anne soon lost control of herself and blurted out everything, including what Fiona told her

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
