However, the moment Charles stopped struggling, Luna started struggling in Joshua’s arms.“Let me go, Joshua Lynch! Please don’t make me hate you! You let go of me now!”No matter how hard she struggled, Joshua had no intention of letting go of her.He missed her too much.Having been unconscious for a week… Joshua kept dreaming that she wanted to leave him and wanted him to die.He even kneeled and begged her to come home with him in his dreams. As long as she was willing to go home with him, he was willing to die the next instant.He had been missing her for a long time, and at this moment, he was finally able to see her.He hugged Luna so tight that it started to hurt her. She bit her lip and finally bit down on his right shoulder with all the anger she could summon.Joshua’s right shoulder had suffered a gunshot injury when he was chased by Malcolm's men after the engagement party a month ago. The wound had not fully recovered yet, and as soon as Luna bit him, a sharp pai
The heavy rain was still pouring.The image of an adult and three kids kneeling in the rain made everyone sad.Luna turned around, and, as soon as she caught sight of the four of them, tears started falling from her eyes.She was not a heartless person at all.When she decided to part ways with Joshua, not only was it difficult for her to leave Joshua behind but the three children as well.However, Luna understood that she could not take any of them with her.She could not even keep the one in her womb either.Heather was Aura’s sister. Luna knew fully well what Aura had done to her children in the past.However…This time, when Luna returned to the Landry family, she had promised Jim she would get rid of the parasite in the Landry family, Heather.If Heather managed to get ahold of Luna’s weakness, she would never stand a chance against her.Therefore, all Luna could do was to be cold-blooded. Whether it was Nigel, Neil, Nellie, or even the unborn child in her belly, she
What other way did he have to get her to stay?“Luna!” After a long while, Charles let out a sigh and called out Luna's name. “It’s time to go home. The weather is getting colder now, and the kids will catch a cold.”Luna nodded, then reluctantly let go of the children and left with Charles.The Landry family’s limo peeled off in the pouring rain.Nellie was already sobbing as she held onto her brothers.Nigel and Neil, who were usually the two mature, level-headed elder brothers, were crying as well.When the car finally disappeared from view…Thump!A deafening slam made everyone turn their heads back.Joshua had already passed out and landed on the ground with a thud. Jude and Lucas quickly helped him up, then picked the three children up and placed them inside the car.“To the hospital!” Jude shouted in the pouring rain. “To the nearest hospital!”“Let’s go to my house instead.” All of a sudden, a cold, male voice rang out.Jude lifted his head, frowning. A man dres
Christopher’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.He furrowed his brows, quickly took out his phone and dialed the number that he had saved in his phone as Jude’s.The phone of the man standing before him started to ring…Christopher froze in shock. “You’re Jude Smith?”However, the man that he had met at the airport, the one who had claimed to be Jude, was not this man at all!Having grown up in a family of prestigious doctors, Christopher had been able to differentiate even the most minute differences between various herbs since young. Therefore, it was impossible that he would misremember. The man standing before him was not the one he had met at the airport at all!What was going on?Seeing the surprised expression on Christopher’s face, Jude let out a sigh and closed his eyes. “We’ve been tricked.”The ‘Christopher’ he had met with was not the real Christopher at all.The ‘Jude’ that Christopher had met was not the real Jude, either. Because of this, Jude had gi
Christopher could not help lamenting, “You’re such a detail-oriented person, Mr. Lynch.”It was clear that a spy from the Quinn family was working for him. Otherwise, how else could Malcolm have known about the Clinging Root and that Jude would be bringing it over?Joshua opened his eyes wearily and glanced at Jude. “Help me take care of Nigel, Neil, and Nellie. I have to get some rest now…”With that, he closed his eyes and passed out.Christopher let out a sigh as he wiped the sweat from Joshua’s forehead.This man…had extraordinary determination.No ordinary person could wake up in seven days after falling off a cliff, much less fly to another country to attend a party. Not only that, but no ordinary person would be able to settle everything before passing out.This determined man would one day become Jim’s biggest enemy in the business market.As soon as this thought crossed Christopher’s mind, he could not help feeling worried for Jim.…Landry Mansion.Luna vomited her
The Landry family had finally found out about Luna's pregnancy.In the middle of the night, all of the members of the Landry family sat down for an emergency meeting.Luna clutched the pillow that the doctor had given her to alleviate her nausea as she sat quietly in a corner, watching Charles and Jim fight.“This baby belongs to Joshua Lynch, so we can’t keep it!” Charles remembered the way Joshua had kneeled with the three children at the entrance of the hall, begging Luna to return to his side.Joshua clearly wanted to use the children to force her to return.Luna was Charles and Rosalyn’s daughter, and judging from how important Rosalyn’s children mattered to her, Charles knew that Luna would be the same!Just because Luna could abandon the three children and leave Joshua did not mean that she would do the same to the fourth.As soon as he thought of this, Charles could not help narrowing his eyes and said, “Where’s the doctor? Perform an abortion surgery right now!”Heathe
“Since a daughter of the Landry family cannot bear children for the Lynch family, then what about me, a child of both? Why didn’t you kill me from the beginning, Father?”The entire room fell into silence upon hearing this.Charles glared at Jim and snapped, “What nonsense are you saying? You’re becoming more and more outrageous every day! You didn’t inherit any of your mother’s gentleness and humility at all!”Jim sneered. “You’re right. I didn’t inherit any of my mother’s strengths at all, and instead, I inherited all of your worst traits. You should’ve seen this coming, Mr. Landry. If so, why didn’t you kill me from the beginning?”“You—” Charles was so enraged that his blood pressure soared, and he slumped down in a chair, his entire face scarlet with fury. “You disrespectful thing! Disrespectful!”Rosalyn could not bear to see Charles like this, so she let out a sigh and glanced at Jim. “Jim, why do you have to say such provocative things like this? Your father didn’t mean an
Malcolm…came?Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard the servants’ conversation.The servant said Malcolm had heard that she was pregnant, so he came to admit his wrongdoing. With all the rumors swirling around, it seemed as though the child in her belly was Malcolm’s.However…Luna knew it better than anyone that this child belonged to Joshua.On top of that, when she reached Merchant City, Malcolm’s legs had already been injured in his accident. The two of them could not have slept together at all, so what was Malcolm thinking, and why did he come?“What does Luna’s pregnancy have anything to do with Malcolm? What is he trying to admit to?” Jim’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he glanced at Luna. Then, he turned and looked toward the door.“Do you think he will say that the child is his? The timing is not possible. Besides, how long has he been crippled?”Jim’s words made Charles frown. He then gave Jim a stern look and said, “So what if he is crippled? Six years ag
