"Joshua, I…"Tears started to fall as Luna continued, "I didn't manage to protect this child. I'm so useless. I'm so useless…"I can't even protect a baby… Our child is gone now, Joshua… The only thing holding me and you together is gone…"Luna was sobbing so hard it was difficult to watch. Tears welled in Joshua's eyes as he wrapped his arms around her. "That's okay; we already have Nigel, Neil, and Nellie. This child…"Maybe she knows that we're not together for now, and she's worried her birth will bring you more trouble, so she chose to leave on her own."Luna, wake up and think rationally. You and I are both still young, and we can have other children together."Tears streamed down Luna's face as she held the tiny corpse close to her. "No, we can't possibly have more children together…"Joshua, you're a Lynch, and I'm a Landry. There's no future for us anymore…"This child…" Luna was choking so hard she could barely speak. "This child was the last thing that kept me and
Charles was here?Joshua raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had yet to track Charles down, but this man had already appeared right on his doorstep.Joshua held Luna close to him and curled his lips into a cold sneer. "Let him in."Jim frowned, glancing at the woman in Joshua's arms, and said in a low voice, "If you want to give that old man a piece of your mind or even beat him up, I have no objection to that. After all, what he did was indeed unacceptable, but I suggest that you let Luna get some rest. "She has just lost a child, and she must be heartbroken now. if you get into a conflict with her father right in front of her right now, it wouldn't be good for her."Joshua paused and glanced at Luna, then let out a deep sigh and gingerly removed the dead baby from her arms.However, as soon as he removed the baby, Luna snatched it back from him like a deranged woman having been put under a spell. "No! Don't take my child away from me! My child!"When he saw the disoriented lo
"Why can't I come here? Luna is my daughter, too!""She's your daughter, too?" Joshua sneered, staring at Charles. "Anyone who knows the truth will know that Luna is your biological daughter and that Heather isn’t blood-related to you at all."But to the rest, judging from the way you treat her, everyone will think Heather is your biological daughter instead."The color drained from Charles' face. He clenched his fists and snapped, "Joshua Lynch! This is my family's business, so you have no right to comment on it!"Don't you know the reason I place so much importance on Heather's child? It's because that child belongs to Malcolm!"Because of what you did to the Landry and Quinn families over these months, both our families are awaiting this child's birth so that we can cooperate more closely!"The more he talked, the angrier Charles got. If not for Joshua, he would not need to be under the Quinn family's control and let them take charge of everything!On top of that, Joshua had
Luna had gone missing.Charles finally started to grow anxious. He grabbed hold of a nearby servant's shoulders nervously and asked, "Where's Luna? Where did she go?"It was raining heavily outside, and she had just given birth. What if something terrible happened to her when she left home without supervision?The servant was being shaken so violently that her voice trembled. "Ms. Luna has…gone out."With that, she pointed in the direction of the back door and added, "That way."As soon as she finished her sentence, Jim kicked the door open and sprinted in the direction the servant had pointed. Charles glared at the servant helplessly then quickly chased after him.As soon as the two of them ran out of the backyard, they caught sight of Luna.She had not gone far at all.However, she was no longer holding the empty swaddle in her hands, and instead, she was clutching the dead baby.Joshua's black trench coat was draped over her body, and she was walking very slowly. Next t
Just as Charles and Jim were busy talking, Charles' phone rang.It was a call from Malcolm.Charles picked up the call, frowning. A gentle woman's voice rang out from the other end of the line, "Father, it's Heather. "It's getting late now, and Malcolm has asked me to get some rest, but I'm worried about Luna. Has she given birth yet? Is it a boy or a girl? Could it be multiple babies, like her last pregnancy?"For a moment, Charles did not know how to answer Heather's questions. He fell silent for a moment and finally replied, "Luna's child…"Seeing how reluctant he was to tell the truth, Jim immediately snatched the phone away and said curtly, "Luna's child isn't as fortunate as yours, and it passed away."On the other end of the line, Heather curled her lips into a smile.Of course she knew that Luna's child had passed away… She had planned this since the start.Even though she was smiling, Heather still feigned sadness and said, "Goodness… What a pity. I had thought fate
Joshua and Luna walked in the pouring rain for an entire night.Thankfully, the weather was about to transition into summer, so it was not too cold. The sun had come out, and just as Luna had said, a rainbow appeared in the sky.Joshua tucked the umbrella away, glanced at the dead baby in Luna's arms, then reached out to gently wipe her tears away. "Luna, you've been walking with her in your arms for an entire night now. It's time to lay her down to rest in peace."As soon as she heard this, Luna could not stop her tears from falling.She sniffed and lifted her head to come face-to-face with a giant cherry blossom tree.She wondered whether this was just a coincidence, but the first time she and Joshua had met was underneath a cherry blossom tree as well. At that time, she was just a student, sitting under the tree with her drawing board. The way Joshua had looked in his white shirt, standing underneath the tree, made her fall for him instantaneously. It had been many year
...Throughout the journey from the cherry blossom tree back to her home, Luna did not say anything at all.Soon the car arrived at the little house she had left.First, Luna got out of the car and into Rosalyn's room, where she talked to her for a while, holding her hand. Then, she went into the dining room to have her breakfast.Finally, after multiple coaxes by the servants, Luna returned to her room to get some sleep.Jim, worried that something would happen to her, was with her the entire time.After Luna laid down in her bed, Jim finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave."Jim." Just as he was about to open the door, Luna's weak, hoarse voice rang out from behind him, "Do you think…they’ll forgive me?"Jim's hand, which was on the doorknob, stiffened. He turned around and asked, "Who are they?""Mother, Joshua, and my dead child." Luna leaned against the headboard and stared at the wall in front of her, but her gaze seemed to penetrate through the wall and fix
As soon as he heard Bonnie's voice, Jim let out a stretch and got up from the sofa elegantly.He put on his Bluetooth earphones and could not help curling his lips into a smile as he listened to Bonnie's angry voice.For some reason, whenever he heard Bonnie's voice, his mood would be lifted.Perhaps it was because he could tell from how angry she sounded that the baby was healthy.He shifted into a more comfortable position on the sofa, closed his eyes, and chuckled. "Well, I guess you can tell how shameless I am from the fact I let Christopher bring the child to you."Bonnie, who was in Banyan City at this time, widened her eyes in anger. "Jim Landry, you son of a b*tch!"She glanced at the baby inside the thermal container and mentally counted off her fingers. "This child is… Was she conceived before you and I slept together? "Who is the mother? Why didn't she take care of the child herself? Who else did you mess around with besides this one?"Jim curled his lips into a smi
