Chapter 1271

Author: Inked Snow
Adrian glared at Joshua and strode forward to approach the doctor. “How is she, doctor?”

“Don’t worry, she’s out of danger,” the doctor replied. He let out a sigh, glanced first at Adrian, then at Joshua. “It’s just that she’s unconscious now, and from my speculation, the earliest she’ll regain consciousness is in about 6 hours.”

The doctor’s words made Adrian’s heart skip a beat. “Then…how about the worst-case scenario?”

The doctor shook his head but did not say anything in response.

The color drained from Adrian’s face, and he took a step back.

No answer. This meant Granny Lynch might not even wake up at all.

How could this happen? He had not had the chance to fake her will yet. Joshua was the one who possessed ownership over the entire Lynch family fortune, and even taking a small sum of money from him would be extremely difficult. If Granny Lynch died without a will, Adrian knew that he would not have a single chance to inherit any fortune from the family!

    After what happened with Granny Lynch, Joshua could not possibly not worry and not blame himself. Most importantly, he felt guilty for what had happened.Ever since he was young, Granny taught him to have a strong heart. Growing up, all he saw was Granny’s cold personality and strong mentality. He never expected that one day…Granny Lynch would become so frail and weak.Luna seemed to sense Joshua’s emotions and suddenly quieted down.She bit her lip, turned around, and wrapped her arms around Joshua. “You still have me with you…”…A sleepless night.The following morning, Luna woke up as soon as the sun rose. She opened her eyes and let out a yawn.She looked around at the foreign environment she was in and frowned.Just as she was about to get up and use the bathroom, she suddenly realized that there were someone else’s arms wrapped around her. Even though she could not see his face, she knew immediately who it was.Luna furrowed her brows.When did Joshua get here? Did

    The call from Alfred came as a surprise to Luna. “Are you sure… Granny Lynch wanted to see me?” she asked.In recent years, Luna and Granny Lynch’s relationship had been complicated. Back when she was Luna Gibson, the moment she married Joshua, Granny Lynch treated her like an enemy, with nothing but hatred. She tried all kinds of ways to make Luna’s life difficult, intending to drive her out of the Lynch family.After Luna suffered her accident, underwent plastic surgery, changed her identity to Luna, and brought Neil and Nellie back to Banyan City, Granny Lynch thought she had bad intentions and even helped Aura make Luna’s life difficult, too.Shortly after that… Granny Lynch discovered that she was the same person as Luna Gibson, and as soon as she found out about the things had gone through, she changed her opinion. She no longer mistreated her, and she sometimes even stood up for Luna.However, none of these changed the dynamic of their relationship, and they did not grow clo

    “Luna.” Granny Lynch sighed and slowly reached out to hold onto Luna’s. “Do you blame me back when Granny treated you harshly?” she asked. Luna paused for a moment, then held onto her hand tightly and shook her head. “You’re an elder to the family; you took care of Joshua for so many years. How could I ever blame you for anything?” “I’m not a responsible elder.” Granny Lynch closed her eyes and sighed. “The truth is, you’re a good kid. I hated you…because you looked too much like the woman that I hate. Just too alike…” Granny Lynch let out a bitter smile. Then, she replied with a hoarse voice, “That woman, she’s the reason why my daughter is dead. I’ll never forgive her.”Luna frowned and asked dubiously, “Your… daughter?”“Yes.” Granny Lynch sighed in sorrow. “Other than Joshua, I had a daughter. When she was 18, she fell in love with the wrong man, and they ran away together. Later, she was killed by that woman. When I managed to get her back, even the corpse wasn’t complete…

    Luna’s entire body stiffened. She gripped Granny Lynch’s hand even tighter and reassured her, “Don’t worry.”“I…” Luna paused and took a deep breath. Suddenly, the recent memories of Joshua appeared in her mind, from all the things that Joshua did for her to Joshua’s voice from Anne’s message.These made her even more determined to commit to him, so she replied earnestly, “I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I’ll never give up on Joshua.” With the reassurance from Luna, Granny Lynch finally felt the sense of relief she wanted. She closed her eyes and let go of Luna’s hand.The machines around her started beeping. The doctors rushed into the room. “The patient’s condition is deteriorating! Get me some epinephrine! Non-medical personnel, please evacuate the room!”Luna was pulled out of the room by Alfred. Soon after, Granny Lynch’s bed was surrounded by doctors, trying to resuscitate her.A drop of tear fell out of the corner of Luna’s eye without warning. Gr

    “Luna is in the emergency room! Her situation is critical!”A cold expression passed through Joshua’s eyes. “What happened to her?”“I don’t know!” A confused Lucas was panicking. “Doctor said her condition was worse than what happened to Courtney, just like…just like what happened to Granny Lynch!“I just came out of the emergency room. The doctor wants me to find Luna’s next of kin to sign the operation consent form, but I don’t know who Luna’s next of kin is, so I came to you!”Lucas’ panic made a hint of triumphed flash through Aura’s heart. She immediately stood up and said, “Why did you come to Joshua?“Joshua and Luna have no relationship whatsoever. You might as well come to me instead. At least, I’m her sister.” With that, she strode in the direction of the door and said, “Let’s go. I’d like to see what happened to my dearest sister.”Joshua’s expression darkened as he watched Aura gracefully walk away. He quickly followed her and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on

    “Joshua!”Seeing Joshua about to rush into the emergency room, Aura reached out to pull Joshua and shouted, “You’re not supposed to go into the emergency room! You’re not a doctor. If you go in, you’ll be a disturbance to the operation!”Joshua’s eyes were red, and he insisted on going into the room. “I can’t stop worrying!”Luna had initially planned to ask Dr. Janet about the symptoms and eat some medication that would trigger the same reaction in her body to fake the illness, so why did she end up in the emergency room all of a sudden?Why did Dr. Janet went missing?“Sir.” Lucas stepped forward and held onto Joshua’s arm with Aura. “Please calm down, and don’t try to go in. Luna is being saved…and the situation inside is bad. If you go in, it’ll interrupt this critical timing for the doctors… Luna will be even more at risk!”Lucas’ persuasion worked. Joshua regained control of his emotions and stopped acting up. He sat down in a chair and wrapped his hands together, staring a

    Luna curled her lips into a smile and reached out her hand to stroke Joshua’s face. “Granny Lynch’s condition is so dire that she even gave me instructions on what to do after she passed…”Luna let out a cough and continued, “So I asked Dr. Janet to give me some drugs to fake the same illness that Granny Lynch has. As soon as I stop taking the medication, I’ll return to normal. Don’t worry… I won’t die.”She clutched her chest with one hand while the other was still stroking Joshua’s face. “I didn’t know how miserable it felt to be so sick.”Joshua’s expression darkened when he saw how forced Luna’s smile was. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Since Dr. Janet was the one who gave you the medication to fake this illness, then where did she go? Apparently, she disappeared, according to the doctors outside.”Luna let out a bitter laugh. “Yes. Initially, Dr. Janet wanted to give me low doses of this drug, but I was afraid it wouldn't fool Aura, so I asked her to use a higher dose inste

    Luna’s eyes widened upon hearing this. She exclaimed in a hoarse voice, “You—”“Me?” Aura blinked innocently and continued, “Actually, you shouldn’t worry, my dear sister. It’s just the brake cables; it’s not like they’ll definitely die. If they’re lucky, they might, but if they aren’t…they might live and be in a vegetative state for the rest of their lives, unable to speak or move. “Worst case scenario, they might become two little cripples without a mother. As soon as my baby arrives, their father will abandon them, and they’ll be laughed at and belittled all their lives.”Luna’s eyes were etched with fury. She knew that she could not die from this, and Dr. Janet had also confirmed with her that the only outcome of this drug would be health deterioration, but even so, she would be able to recover in a few years. Despite this, she could not move or step out the door at all! She could not see anyone from the outside world without a doctor’s permission!If Nigel and Nellie found

    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.

    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
