Fiona then said, her throat tight and her lips trembling, “Joshua… I…don’t think that’s necessary, isn’t it? Didn’t Dr. Robert already give me a diagnosis for my illness? He’s the most reputable doctor in the world who’s never made a mistake.”Joshua glanced at Fiona’s pale face through the rearview mirror and sneered contemptuously. “He’s never made a mistake? Fiona, from the moment you bribed Dr. Jenson to make a false diagnosis for Luna, he’s no longer the reputable Dr. Jenson that we know of anymore.“I’ve been wondering this for a while now: Why is there no medicine nor any treatment for your illness? Does this mean there’s nothing we can do apart from waiting for you to die in a year? “Because of this, I’ve asked many other doctors apart from Dr. Jenson for help, but none of them could give a definite answer to my question. I even wondered how you acquired such a strange and rare illness, but now I know the answer.”Joshua gave Fiona a cold, penetrating stare and continued,
Joshua’s expression darkened upon hearing this. He put down his phone, then turned to glance at Luna. “The doctors have concluded Fiona’s disease. Do you want to come with me to hear what they have to say?”Luna contemplated this for a moment, then chuckled. “Of course I do.” She got out of the car and added as they made their way to the hospital, “How can I miss the opportunity to witness the love of your life falling from her pedestal, Mr. Lynch?”Joshua froze upon hearing this. A bitter smile crept across his face as he watched Luna walk further away.The love of his life…He would never allow her to fall from her pedestal.Never.…The two made their way into the hospital and arrived at the 18th floor, where Fiona had been undergoing her checkup. Initially, Luna thought that they would be met with the sight of a defeated-looking Fiona and a group of experienced doctors when they arrived. To her surprise, however…When she and Joshua entered the ward, the first thing t
“Just because Dr. Robert says it’s correct, does it mean it’s absolutely correct?”The doctor nodded timidly. “That’s one way of putting it… Dr. Robert is one of the most reputable names in this field… To doubt his expertise is to doubt the entire field of medicine itself… We… We don’t have the guts to challenge that.”As soon as the doctor finished his sentence, Fiona gave Joshua a gentle smile and said, “Joshua, please don’t make these doctors’ lives any more difficult than it already is. If you really think I’m faking my disease, why don’t you ask Dr. Robert to come over and give me another checkup?”With that, she leaped off the bed and approached Joshua with a grin. Then, she grabbed hold of his arm and gently swung it to and fro as she continued, “Why did you have to get so many doctors to examine me? I was afraid that I had done something wrong…”Joshua furrowed his brows slightly and flung Fiona’s arm away, then snapped with a cold expression, “Do you honestly think that yo
“Dr. Robert has been involved in a car accident.” Joshua frowned and glanced at Luna as soon as he hung up. “He was on his way to see us.”Dr. Robert was caught in an accident?Luna felt her mind go blank as soon as she heard this. How did this happen?Just a few minutes ago, Janice had told her that Dr. Robert was on his way to the hospital to see them and admit his mistakes in front of Joshua, so how could he suffer an accident so abruptly?Was this simply a coincidence, or did someone plan this?If this accident was intentional, then did Dr. Robert deliberately cause an accident to avoid telling the truth, or…All of a sudden, Luna recalled the strange phone call that she had received just a few minutes ago.The person who called her…was probably Dr. Robert himself!Luna bit down on her lip and felt as though something was stirring in her heart. Since Dr. Robert had called her immediately after he got into the accident, this meant that he was willing to face the truth and
The little boy furrowed his brows, then curled his lips into a small smile. “The countryside is too boring for me, so I came back early.”Then, he glanced into the ward and asked, “Is Aunty Fiona inside?”The bodyguard froze for a moment. This was the first time he had ever heard Nigel bring up Fiona on his own accord. He scratched his head in slight confusion and replied, “Yes, Ms. Blake is inside. Sir gave us orders to—”“Ask her to come out and play with me,” the little boy interjected curtly. “I’m a little bored now.”The bodyguard remained silent for a moment, then replied, “But Sir said that—”“I’m Mr. Lynch’s son.” The little boy shot the bodyguard a cold glance and continued in a calm tone, “Everything that belongs to Mr. Lynch now will become mine in the future. If you don’t listen to me and instead choose to offend the future President Lynch, do you know what the consequences will be? Do you need me to remind you?”His answer made the bodyguard hesitate for a moment. “B
Luna and Joshua waited at the scene of the accident for half an hour before the firefighters finally managed to break Dr. Robert free from his car.By the time he was wheeled onto an ambulance, he was so weak that there were barely any signs of life. However, as soon as he caught sight of Luna, his eyes lit up, and he lifted his head and gestured for Luna to approach him somewhat feebly. Because of the profuse vomiting, Luna’s footsteps were a little unstable as she slowly made her way to Dr. Robert. She tilted her head sideways to listen to what he had to say. “I’ve…disappointed Janice. Please help me pass on a message to her and tell her to continue living… Also, I have a copy of Fiona’s real diagnosis… I’ve kept it at the hospital abroad, where I murdered Violet and Shaun Lewis… You can ask someone to retrieve it, and the truth will surface…”As soon as he finished his sentence, Dr. Robert rolled his eyes, and his hand fell back onto the railing of the gurney.A few doctors
It felt good to savor this temporary feeling of warmth. After God knew how long, Luna let out an exhale and said somewhat dejectedly, still wrapped in Joshua’s arms, “I want to bury them.”Joshua nodded. “Alright. Let’s bury them as soon as the weather clears up. As for the grave…”He narrowed his eyes before continuing, “We’ll use the one that I bought for Fiona.”Initially, he had bought the grave plot for Fiona because he genuinely thought that she would die in a year. However, judging from what was happening, he guessed that the grave would not come into use, whether it was in a year or two. As soon as she heard the mention of Fiona, Luna finally came to. She released herself from Joshua’s embrace and lifted her hand to wipe her tears away. “Is Fiona still inside the ward?”She had a feeling that Dr. Robert’s death was not a simple accident and that someone had murdered him to stop him from telling the truth. Even if Fiona was not the mastermind of this, she had to have a
Luna gripped her phone tightly and retorted icily, “I owe you one? Are you kidding me, Fiona?”Fiona paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled. “You dumb*ss. How are you still so clueless? Though, I guess it’s okay that you know nothing. You have no right to find out anyway!“I just want you to know that if I die, Nigel will go down with me!” With that, she hung up the phone.Luna clutched her phone and felt as though her entire heart quivered. She turned and glanced at Joshua anxiously. “Fiona said she’s gone to find Nigel… Where is he?”Yesterday, she had suspected that Joshua had sent Nigel and Nellie to the youth education center he mentioned, but he denied it, so where were they?Joshua saw the worried look in Luna’s eyes and tilted his head away so as not to meet her gaze. “Nigel, Nellie, and Granny Lynch are at the villa in the countryside. Lucas called me just now and told me that Fiona had already left Banyan City two hours ago…and she’s headed…to the villa.”
