“But in fact what?” Seeing Christian pause in the middle of his sentence, Luna frowned and could not help but ask. At that moment, the announcement rang in the airport, Christian’s flight was calling for its passengers to move through security and board the plane. He took a deep breath and quickly stood up. "I should get going." Luna frowned. “Can you finish what you just said?” She was curious.Christian lifted his lips and laughed lightly, “Luna, you claim you don’t care about Joshua, so why do you insist on finding out what I was about to say?”She paused. “I’m just curious.” With that, she pursed her lips and turned away. "If you don't want to tell me, then forget it."Christian looked at her and smiled. He pulled out a document from his backpack and handed it to her. “Something so important shouldn’t come out of my mouth. Even if I told you, you won’t believe me. I have been trying to complete this task for the past few days, so I collected quite a lot of information. Rea
After Luna flipped through the entire folder, tears had already flowed down her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably.It turned out...it turned out that everything Luna did was for Nigel! It turned out that the ‘good-hearted man’ who donated bone marrow to Nigel was Fiona.She closed her eyes, countless images of Joshua protecting Fiona appeared before her eyes. So, what he did was not because he was in love with Fiona, but because of his deal with her. He took Fiona to Orchard Manor and lived there with her, ignoring Nigel ever since…because he knew very well that as long as Fiona was taken care of, Nigel would be saved. It was not that he did not care about Nigel, in fact, he cared about him too much…Luna bit her lip. Even though on the surface, he was cold and unfeeling, behind their backs, he had so much on his shoulders…but not only did he say nothing, but he also endured it all silently.She thought that he chose to save her and Nigel that day on the mountain when they wer
Leaving the airport, Luna switched on her phone. Tons of messages pinged on her phone, all from guests who attended tonight’s party. Some apologized to her while others complained that she should not have left. However, the majority of notifications were missed calls. Luna bit her lip, ignored the news, and directly dialed Joshua's number. His phone was switched off. Then, she dialed Lucas’ number. His cell phone was also switched off. At that moment, Luna’s phone rang with a call from Gwen. Luna did not want to answer, but on second thought, Joshua and Luke were quite close... Since she failed to reach Joshua, maybe he could. So she pressed the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, on the other end of the phone, Gwen started scolding Luna ferociously. "Don't you think you’ve gone too far? Joshua spent the whole day preparing the party for you! Luke said it was really difficult for Joshua to personally prepare a birthday party for you! He was seriously injured, and h
Guilt and shame knitted together like a net, enveloping her entirely. She bit her lip, a hint of a sob in her voice. “Are all of you still at the beach?” She wanted to apologize to him in front of everyone, to say sorry and admit her mistakes. She let him down, failing to appreciate his care toward her. Right from the start, he treasured her and the children in his heart. But she hurt him time and time again.“We already left.” Gwen sighed, “To tell you the truth, Joshua prepared quite a lot of surprises for you tonight. Besides the fireworks show that would continue until midnight, he even prepared something else. The present he prepared for you...” Gwen sighed again, “He bought the first piece of work you designed abroad, he said it’s your start and beginning. He wanted to give it back to you as a souvenir.” Luna closed her eyes, tears finally dripping down her cheeks silently. Because she knew how difficult it was to buy the first piece of work she designed as Moon. In the begi
“Joshua!”Luna could not help but scream out! How did this happen? She gritted her teeth and applied pressure to his wound to stop the bleeding with trembling hands while fishing her phone out to dial the emergency number.“Quick! Someone has been injured on the beach! Someone’s hurt!”Joshua’s bleeding made her eyes feel wet and hot. She was so agitated she could not even speak clearly.“T-The b-beach, you…will be able to see it once you reach it. I-I b-beg of y-you, p-please be quick…”The operator on the other end of the line paused for a while.“The beach? A man already called for an emergency ten minutes ago. Our ambulance is almost reaching. Please hold on.”Luna was stunned. 10 minutes ago…Joshua was probably only hurt less than one minute ago! Luna could not think that far. She immediately hung up the call and pressed on Joshua’s wound with both hands hard. “Joshua, you have to hold on!”Perhaps Joshua heard Luna’s voice. Joshua, whose eyes had been shut feebly, s
“You did it for Nigel, right? Why did you not tell me earlier? If you would have told me, I wouldn’t have misunderstood you. I wouldn’t have hated you, I wouldn’t even…have let the things that happened today happen.”Joshua smiled with difficulty. “But, back then…I hoped that you would hate me.”Back then, Joshua thought that Neil had truly died. He thought that there would always be Neil’s death between Luna and him. They were irreconcilable.Under such a situation, to get her to hate him and leave him was the best option. However, at that moment…Joshua used his final remaining strength and grabbed hold of Luna’s hand.“Now, I hope that you and I could…for Neil…have a fake marriage.” Joshua spat those words out with difficulty and closed his eyes.Luna was completely taken aback. Joshua mentioned a fake marriage. Turns out, all this while, when he asked her to marry her it was just a fake marriage, yet Luna misunderstood his intentions. She thought the worst of him. Luna grit
Joshua was in the operation theater being resuscitated for the entire night. The next day at four in the morning, he was being pushed out from the operation theater. He was still unconscious.Luna had not slept for the entire night. When he was no longer in danger and was pushed to the ward, Luna still remained by his side next to his bed. She was not willing to leave him alone for a single moment.Lucas had tried multiple times to persuade her to head home to rest, but she refused.“Joshua.” Luna held Joshua’s hand. Her voice was hoarse and weak. “I used to think that no one would care for my children as much as me in this world. I never have thought…”The Joshua that she had always been complaining of being heartless and inhumane…He would actually do so many things for his children behind her back. Luna did not understand and was unaware of his doings. She only misunderstood him, blamed him, and thought of him as the extremely vicious bad guy.Therefore, as a punishment, she h
Nigel noticed the reactions of both adults. He slightly furrowed his brows.“Is there…” He said with hesitation, “Is there something Nellie and I can’t know about?”Lucas paused for a while before shaking his head immediately. “No, no!”Looking at her son’s suspicious expression, Luna helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. Sometimes, children who are too smart might not be a good thing too.Luna took a deep breath and ruffled Nigel’s head.“As for who stabbed Joshua, Lucas and I will investigate it. At the same time, we have to wait for him to wake up and tell us. What you need to do now is not to investigate this, but take good care of your sister.”Nigel pursed his lips. He turned to look at Nellie, whose eyes had been puffed up and reddened from crying. Nigel sighed. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of Lucas and Luna. Thus, he jumped down from his chair, reached out, and grabbed Nellie’s hand.“Let’s go home.”Nellie’s voice was hoarse from crying.
