Hunter felt as though something had crashed into the back of his head.If Jude Smith and Luke Jones were friends…This meant that Joshua and Luke—A chill went down Hunter’s spine as he tried to establish this connection in his mind. He remained motionless for a long while before finally coming to. “Never mind. I’d better get out of here!”…Christopher’s car was stuck in traffic for a long time.On top of that, for some reason, his phone had run out of battery before he could even reach the airport.By the time he arrived at East 2 gate, twenty minutes had already passed since the meeting time with Jude. Christopher caught sight of a man standing in front of East 2 gate and holding a backpack from afar. When the man saw him, he hesitated for a moment, then quickly approached him. “Are you Mr. Christopher Roberts? I’m Jude Smith.”Christopher nodded and replied, “Yes, I am. I’m so sorry for being late.”“Don’t worry about it.” The man chuckled. After exchanging a few wor
Jude’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.He clenched his fists in anger.What did Luna mean when she asked what Joshua had done for her?If Joshua had not forbidden him from telling Luna about his injury, he would bring her back to Banyan City right this instant!He wanted her to go into the ward and see for herself what this man had done for her.He was willing to set aside his vengeance against the Landry family and scale the side of a cliff to find an herb that would save Luna's mother!He could not believe that Joshua’s sacrifice had received nothing but criticism from Luna, who claimed that he had done nothing for her!Jude let out an exhale and stared at Luna's face. “I know that you’ve been in touch with the Landry family. Why don’t you ask the doctor named Christopher about this?“When I got off the plane today, I gave him something. After finding out what the thing is, then you’ll know just how much Joshua has done for you.”Jude let out an exhale and added, “
Luna was so nervous that her palms started sweating.It turned out that Joshua had changed after all.His sudden return to Banyan City without notifying her was to find the herb that would save her mother!Luna suddenly recalled what Nellie had said on the phone to her, that Joshua had claimed that he had something important to find.The important thing he had been talking about was the herb that would save Rosalyn, was it not?Luna closed her eyes and tried to make sense of the emotions she was feeling. She knew that Joshua harbored hatred toward the Landry family, so he had not helped them to get on their good side at all.It was all for her.He was willing to help cure Rosalyn, his mortal enemy, so that Luna would not be forced to return to the Landry family after Rosalyn’s death out of guilt!Luna stared out the window and felt like she was floating on a cloud.Joshua…had changed!She could not accuse him of not prioritizing her or the children anymore!The car soon ar
Malcolm glanced at Luna out of the corner of his eye, then shook Charles’ hand with a smile. “Don’t thank me, Mr. Landry. After all, we’ll eventually become a family.”Charles paused for a moment, then burst into laughter and replied, “Yes, you’re right, Malcolm. We’ll eventually become a family!”Luna and Bonnie exchanged a look when they heard this.What was going on?Should Charles not be thanking Joshua, who had gone back to Banyan City overnight just to find the herb that had saved Rosalyn?Why was Charles thanking Malcolm instead and even telling him that they would become a family? What was happening?All of a sudden, the door to the room was pushed open.Charles let go of Malcolm's hand and stormed into the room while Christopher and Jim came out.Luna bit her lip and approached them. “Mr. Christopher.”She let out an exhale and contemplated her words before saying, “My mother’s illness…was Joshua the one who had saved her?”“Joshua?” Christopher's expression darkened
Rosalyn sniffed and said tearfully, “Luna, please return to our side, will you? I want to use the remainder of my life to make things up to you…”Luna pursed her lips and lowered her head. “I don’t want to.”The color drained from Rosalyn’s face when she heard this.A split second later, she clutched her chest and coughed out a mouthful of blood.This sudden twist of events made Charles’ entire body stiffen. He furrowed his brows and made sure that Rosalyn was all right while turning to shoot Luna a cold glance. “Why aren’t you willing to return to our side? Is this because of Joshua Lynch?“Joshua Lynch claimed that he’d save your mother, but in the end, he humiliated Christopher with a bunch of dried grass and almost led to your mother’s treatment being delayed. Why are you still so faithful to a man like this?“Luna, I know that the Landry family has mistreated you in the past, but we’ll make up for our mistakes!“Has Joshua ever made up for his mistakes and mistreatment?”L
Luna could not help wringing her hands when she heard this. She bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Jim. “Do you agree that Joshua had humiliated Christopher on purpose and insulted both the Landry family and me?”Luna had thought that as Joshua’s cousin, Jim would be different from everyone else, but…“Well, what else do you think his intention was of doing this?” Jim let out a sneer and added, “Are you trying to tell me that an intelligent man like Joshua Lynch can’t even tell a rare herb apart from some common grass, despite having photos to help him? Even a child can understand the pictures that Christopher had shown him, so what went wrong?”Luna bit her lip when she heard this. She let out an exhale and closed her eyes. “I won’t return to your side for the time being.“I want to hear Joshua’s explanation for all this.”She would not believe any of these accusations unless she could hear Joshua admitting himself that he had deliberately done this to humiliate both C
Heather had on some light makeup, and her skin looked radiant. It was evident that she was the heiress of a wealthy family.Seeing that Luna had noticed her, Heather could not help smiling. Then, she sat down gracefully in Jim’s empty seat and extended her hand toward Luna. “Luna, it’s about time we meet in private.“My name is Heather Landry, and I’m Aura’s sister, the eldest daughter of Joseph and Natasha, your adoptive parents.“According to our ages, you were born a few days before me, so I should call you ‘Big Sister’ as Aura did.”Luna could not help narrowing her eyes when she heard the mention of Aura’s name. She recalled the conversation that she had overheard outside Blue Bay Villa when Aura was talking to someone on the phone.At that time, Aura had called someone, “Sis.” Heather must have been talking to Heather.At that time, Luna had thought that Aura was the real heiress of the Landry family and that Heather was Luna's biological sister. On top of that, she had e
Luna’s expression darkened when she heard this.She narrowed her eyes and turned around, staring at Heather from her great height. “A homeless little runt?”Luna sneered as she gazed at Heather's pale face. “Heather, I guess somehow you think that as the heiress of the Landry family, your status is unsurpassable.“Have you forgotten something? If Joshua has really abandoned me, I’ll have to return to the Landry family. If that happens, then I wonder who’ll become the homeless little runt you’re talking about!”Luna turned and strode away, with Heather gaping at her in shock.After coming out of the restaurant and getting into the car, tears brimmed Luna's eyes.Heather was right.If Joshua abandoned her…then she would indeed become a homeless little runt.As soon as she thought of this, Luna lowered her head and took out her phone to send a message to Joshua.[I know you’re busy, so much so that you don’t even have time to come find me. The Landry family has given me seven day
