He sighed, “I get it. Even if my mother gets what she wants in the future, she would still not like me. She would still hit me and scold me, treating me as her burden. However, she is my mother. I will never be able to escape this in my entire life. So, I will try my best to make sure you get your happiness.”Theo was utterly stunned at Neil’s words.He bit his lips.“Jake, actually, this is not the case. Aura…”…Joshua had been lying on the bed in the hospital ward for six days.For the past six days, Luna had not left him at all, keeping watch by his side.The doctor said that although Joshua was no longer in danger if he did not gain consciousness within a week, the chances of him gaining consciousness would be much less.He was likely to be in a vegetative state who can only lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life.“Luna, have some food. You’re gone thin.”In the room, Anne looked at the haggard-looking Luna, she sighed a little. In a mere six days, Luna had alrea
Adrian, who just barged in, glared at Luna. “What did you do to my son? I have only left Banyan City for more than a month, yet he’s already in bed, his life hanging by the thread! I heard that he turned out this way all because of you! You unlucky demon!”Adrian’s still smelt of the cold breeze and antiseptic. Clearly, he had rushed over from the airport.Luna stumbled backward a few steps due to the slap. Both legs hit the sides of Joshua’s bed brutally. The excruciating pain made her bend down. She could not stand straight.Anne, behind her, quickly came over to help Luna up. “Luna, are you alright?”Luna shook her head. Her left cheek was already swollen. There was a man’s handprint on the swollen part of her cheek. It was a terrifying sight to behold.“You’re fine?” Adrian harrumphed coldly. Then, he walked over to Luna. “It looks like I hit you too lightly!”Then, he raised his hand and swung it at Luna once more. Anne furrowed her brows and immediately reached her hands
He glared at Luna furiously. “What nonsense are you talking about? Joshua is my son! How could I not care for him and only care about money! Let me tell you, now that Joshua is unconscious, I’m in charge. “You better watch what you say. If not, I’ll chase you out right now and you will never be able to see Joshua for the rest of your life!”Luna narrowed her eyes. She reached out and grabbed Joshua’s hands tightly. He remained lying in bed quietly with his eyes closed tight.He could not hear their arguments, nor see how she was being bullied by his father.Seeing how Luna said nothing anymore, Adrian coldly shrugged Zach and Yuri off. He sat on the sofa by the side, crossing his legs like a high and mighty ruler.“Lucas. Watch your words in the future. They are not married yet. How could you call her Ma’am? Call her Luna!”Lucas was silent for a while. He lowered his head. “Yes, Master Lynch.”Adrian sneered, “Also, I’m going to let the fact that you listen to this woman befor
Adrian’s slap did not land on Luna’s face.“Joshua?” Luna’s eyes were closed. What she heard was Adrian’s surprised voice.She was a little surprised. She subconsciously opened her eyes. In front of her was Joshua’s miserably pale and sweaty hand. He was clutching Adrian’s wrist.Luna was surprised and delighted. She immediately turned around. Behind her, Joshua was kneeling on the bed. He was looking terrifyingly pale. His hospital gown was almost soaked through with sweat.It seemed that getting up and clutching Adrian’s hand used up most of his energy.“Lulu.” Joshua gently called her out before letting go of Adrian’s hand and going limp.“Joshua!” Luna immediately rushed over and helped him up. “You’re awake!”“Hmm.” Joshua returned to the bed with Luna’s help. He smiled while saying in a feeble, hoarse voice, “If I still don’t get up, my children and wife are going to be chased away by someone else.”Luna’s face inexplicably blushed upon Joshua’s words.His children, th
“Are you planning to head to Blue Bay Villa? Just nice. Now that I’m up, I don’t want to stay at the hospital too. I want to return to Blue Bay Villa.”Adrian’s face has lost all of its colors upon Joshua’s words. Joshua knew about the Blue Bay Villa incident. Which meant that…he heard every single word he said to Luna a moment ago.Adrian narrowed his eyes and said in a suppressed tone. “Joshua, I think you should stay in the hospital to recuperate. Why are you so anxious to go back home…”“After all, your other son is also my brother. I have not seen him before. I should go home and meet him.”Then, Joshua turned to look at the doctor who was checking upon him. “Doctor, how is it? Can I go home?”The doctor nodded. “When you were unconscious for the past few days, your body has recovered quite well. Now that you’ve come around, your body is only a little weak. Just pay attention to not overwork and don’t touch your wounds. You are free to discharge.”Adrian sensed despair upon
Michael and Celia were shocked. They subconsciously turned around.Standing behind them by the entrance to the villa was Adrian who looked confused.Next to him was a young pretty lady pushing a wheelchair. The man on the wheelchair might seem weak and pale, but his arrogant and regal aura was so strong it forced one to look away.Michael furrowed his brows.Was that man not the president of the Lynch Group, Joshua Lynch? The man whom his parents had mentioned to him ever since he was young. The man that would be his future competition and role model.Was his life not hanging by the thread? Was he not about to die? Why did he suddenly appear?“Daddy!” Nellie turned around and immediately noticed Joshua in the wheelchair. She immediately threw her ice cream into the bin and ran toward Joshua.Nigel also placed his laptop down excitedly and quickly ran toward Joshua and Luna. A rare occurrence.Nellie buried herself in Joshua’s arms. “You’re up! I knew you wouldn’t abandon us! Yo
Nellie, by the side, pursed her lips. She said curtly, “The moment they came they wanted to chase Nigel and me away. They said that this was their home in the future. “Thankfully Nigel and I were smart enough. We said that there were two sets of keys to the villa. One is with Daddy, the other is in a safe buried under the lake by Daddy. They were anxious to look for the key, so they didn’t chase Nigel and me away.”Upon Nellie’s words, Luna finally understood why Michael and Celia wanted to drain the lake. She furrowed her brows and ordered the servants to stop. “Stop the draining. There’s nothing in the lake.”Upon Luna’s words, Michael and Celia’s face lost all of its colors.The two adults were…tricked by two little brats! “Looking for the key?” Joshua smiled sarcastically. “Why are the both of you looking for the key to the villa? Do you think that this villa is yours already?”“No, no.” Adrian immediately smiled and explained to Joshua, “It’s me… The moment I got off the p
Upon Joshua’s words, Luna’s hand, which was feeding Joshua, shuddered a little.After a while, she looked away. “Stop joking around.”She would not marry him. Joshua furrowed his brows a little. He raised his pale hand and turned her face back. Forcing her to meet his gaze.“Luna, although for the past few days I was unconscious, I heard every word you said to me. D-Do…you still hate me?”Luna placed the plate down. She pried his hand away while furrowing her brows and explaining, “No. I don’t hate you anymore.”No matter what he did, ever since Alice passed away, he did the best he could for her and her children. He even rescued her and her children many times, almost losing his life in the process. She could not use that bit of hatred she had for him to always be hostile toward him.Also, for the past few days, Luna had always been by Joshua’s side. She was clear of her own feelings. She still could not let him go, she still missed him.However, marrying him… She could not
