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.
“Nigel, when do you think Daddy will wake up?”Coming out from the hospital and returning to the Blue Bay Villa, Nellie slumped on the sofa aggrievedly. Sad tears kept falling involuntarily.Nigel looked at her calmly. He sighed. “As long as he is no longer in danger, he will wake up. It’s just a matter of time.”Then, Nigel turned to look at Nellie. “Don’t you think the most important thing at that moment is to find out who hurt Daddy?” Nellie pursed her lips. “It must be a killer sent by some bad guys or something.”“Impossible.” Nigel’s eyes narrowed. “The surveillance footage I saw, only two cars went to look for Mr. Lynch. Excluding the driver, they had less than ten people with them. Mr. Lynch had about four to five amazing bodyguards. “Also, other than the people closest to Mr. Lynch, no one knew about him being injured. Even Mommy did not know that he was injured. The bad guys would definitely not know about it.“If Mr. Lynch was not injured, he could fight well too. T
“Did you call the ambulance?”Neil was silent for a while. “No.”“You dare say no?” Aura instantly frowned upon Neil’s words. Her gaze was resentful.“The person that called on your behalf has already admitted to it! Jake Landry. You’re smart. You did not call the ambulance yourself, but you got the bodyguard who went along with your call for you!“Joshua was barely injured for three minutes then he was rescued! Didn’t I tell you that I want him almost dead on the beach? You only stabbed him once and called the ambulance in time. Is he your family or am I your family?”Neil remained kneeling on the floor. He did not lift his head.“Mother, when I went there, I saw a stab wound on his body. It was deep as well. He also said that he purposely went for a cortisone shot to celebrate someone’s birthday. That was why he looked normal. I saw how weak he looked, so I only stabbed him once and called for the ambulance…”Neil took a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked at Aura calmly.
