A servant started to grow nervous. "But Ms. Luna, you haven't slept the whole night… We'd suggest you to—"Luna furrowed her brows and snapped, "My mother is sick, and I want to visit her at the hospital. Do I have to listen to your suggestion?"The servants fell silent and stammered, "That's not what we meant…"With that, they exchanged nervous glances and slinked aside, allowing Luna to pass.However, as soon as Luna stepped out the door, she bumped into Charles, who was blocking her way. He stared at her with a stern look and asked, "Didn't you spend the whole night awake? Why aren't you getting some rest? Where are you going?"Luna frowned. "I'm going to visit my mother."As soon as he heard this, Charles furrowed his brows and said, narrowing his eyes, "Her condition is stable now, and you don't have to rush to visit her. Go back to sleep!"Luna could not help sneering at this. "Mr. Landry, why do you think I chose to return to the Landry family? Do you think it was because
"Yes, Jim is right."As soon as Jim finished his sentence, Luna barged into the room before Rosalyn could even answer.Luna stared at Rosalyn with a smile and walked over to grab hold of her hand. "Mother, you just have to focus on getting your health back on track. As for anything concerning me, you shouldn't have to worry about that."Before coming to the hospital, Luna had overheard the servants' conversation and discovered that Rosalyn and Charles had quarreled because of her.Rosalyn was such a kind and gentle soul that no matter what, she would always put other people's needs before her own.In the past, after knowing that Charles did not reciprocate her love, she voluntarily canceled their engagement.When Charles fell into his mental breakdown after Lucy's passing, Rosalyn had voluntarily helped him take care of the Landry family's affairs.After that, even though she and Charles had gotten married, she still allowed him to keep a special place for Lucy in their home.I
Rosalyn's life had been a series of tragic events one after another, but somehow, she was content with her life."Nonsense." She glanced at Jim in disbelief and let out a sigh. "I have no way of convincing Luna otherwise…"Why not, after Luna has come back from her visit to Swan Lake Chalet, you help me invite Joshua over in secret and let us meet officially? I'll come up with a plan to help him persuade Luna to return to his side and leave Merchant City together."Jim smiled weakly and replied, "Mother, didn't Luna tell you not to stick your nose into her personal affairs again?"Rosalyn furrowed her brows. "How can I possibly do that? Do you want to see your sister so unhappy for the rest of her life, like me?"Jim let out a sigh. "Alright then. I'll go to Swan Lake Chalet right now, and as soon as Luna leaves, I'll bring Joshua over to see you."With that, he stood up and left the room.As soon as he flung the door open, he came face-to-face with a fumbling Heather.He furro
As soon as she heard this, a twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart.She bit her lip, kneeled in front of Nigel, and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. Then, she replied in a low voice, "Who told you I'm here to say goodbye? Did your father say that?"Neil shook his head. "Nigel and I figured it out by ourselves."With that, he let out a sigh and reached out to wrap his hand around Luna's finger. Then, he said with a hint of longing both on his face and in his tone, "Mommy, Nigel said that your parents and Daddy's family have a longstanding vengeance, and you chose your family over us. We can't go back to the way we used to be anymore."With that, Neil lifted his head to stare at Luna, sadness and disappointment clouding his clear eyes. "Is that true?"Luna did not know how to answer this question. She bit her lip and pulled the three children into her arms. "Even if Mommy and Daddy aren't together anymore, you'll still be my babies. I'll still find ways to see and visit yo
June stared at Harvey with a twinkle in her eye and said, "I don't mind not having a Mommy. To me, my Daddy is my Mommy too. "Sometimes, he acts like a girl!"As soon as she finished her sentence, the air around them seemed to freeze over. The two of them lifted their heads and met Christopher's cold gaze.June stuck out her tongue cheekily and ducked behind Harvey.Christopher glanced at Joshua, who was standing motionless like a statue, walked over, and picked up the two children in his arms.As he took the children away, he could not help reminding Joshua, "Please try your hardest to win her back."Joshua remained motionless, staring at Luna and the three sobbing children.She could not bear leaving her children behind.He narrowed his eyes.Even though Christopher had wanted him to try his best, Joshua knew better than anyone that he should not force things at a time like this.Luna was a kind person.He would not let her solve her problems by herself…and instead, he
The room fell into silence.Seeing the look of disbelief on Luna's face, Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. "I asked Christopher, and he told me the baby in your belly is more than a month old."A month ago, you had just been abducted, and unless you slept with him immediately after arriving in Merchant City, you wouldn't have gotten pregnant."At that time, you had just suffered a miscarriage, so you couldn't have done that."With that, he took a sip from his cup and added, "Therefore, according to my speculation, this baby is the same one that had been conceived about a month ago."His analysis was logical and spot-on. Luna pursed her lips and stared at him intently. "Yes."She knew that there was no hiding the truth anymore, so she did not want to lie to him any further. "When I fell from the second floor, I had suffered some bleeding. The doctor and I thought the child was gone…"But to my surprise, it survived against all odds."Joshua narrowed his eyes. "But now
"We can't…be together anymore."I'll leave Nigel, Neil, and Nellie to you. As for the child in my belly right now, I'd like to keep it."To you, love isn't the most important thing in the world. Therefore, in the future, I'll no longer think of it as the most important thing either."It's…time to say goodbye. Let's not make this any more difficult than it has to."With that, she turned and walked away, with Joshua gaping at her in shock."Luna." As soon as Luna's hand wrapped around the door handle, Joshua furrowed his brows and said, "You said that the only reason you chose to return to the Landry family is Rosalyn. Does this mean that if Rosalyn dies, you'll come back to my side?"Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard this.She turned around and shot Joshua a cold glance. "I've only managed to reunite with my birth mother after all these years; are you trying to curse her?"Joshua frowned. "No, that's not what I meant…"From snippets of conversation with Christopher, h
Joshua Lynch…had killed…Mother?Luna felt as though something had crashed into the back of her head.She could not believe her ears.All the blood in her body rushed into her head. She clutched the servant's shoulders and exclaimed, "What are you saying? You're lying to me, aren't you? How can this…"How could Joshua have killed Mother?The servant bit her own lip and said tearfully, "Ms. Luna, how will I even dare to lie to you about something like this? Mrs. Landry is in the operation room now…and the police have captured Joshua Lynch."Luna almost lost her balance. She gripped the edge of the door frame tightly and forced herself to stand up. "How can this be…""Stop asking questions." Suddenly, Jim stormed upstairs and squatted in front of her. "Come on!"Luna paused for a moment, then quickly got onto Jim's back.She could not possibly walk downstairs by herself after receiving such shocking news.Jim carried Luna on his back and quickly strode downstairs. Luna stared
