As soon as she heard this, Luna clenched her fists next to her.She closed her eyes, feeling as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart at this moment.She had guessed that the reason Joshua had treated Charles like this was not because of his own doing.She knew him very well, and she understood that this man was not stupid. He would never try to kill Charles in broad daylight.Luna guessed that Charles must have said something he should not have and did something that crossed the line to anger Joshua, but she never expected…She never expected that Charles would use the dead baby to taunt Joshua.Had he forgotten that this baby did not only belong to Joshua but was also hers?Seeing that Luna was not speaking, Joshua let out a sigh. Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and turned to glance at Luna and Gwen's car. "Where are you going?"Gwen pursed her lips and replied, "We were planning to go to the church in the eastern part of the city to pray for
"Let's stick to the original plan and go to Luna's house."The driver froze when he heard this. "But…"Luna and Gwen had already left their house, so why were they still headed there?Joshua seemed to sense the driver's puzzlement, so he curled his lips into a smile and said impassively, "Do you think there's no other living person there apart from Luna and Gwen?"The driver finally nodded and started the car.The men standing guard outside the house were Jim's men, so they were all familiar with Joshua.When they saw him arrive, the guards told him that Luna had left, but when he insisted on entering the house, none of them stopped him.After entering the door, Joshua headed straight to Rosalyn's room.Inside her room, one of Rosalyn's servants was inserting a nasogastric tube into her nose.Since she had been rendered into a vegetative state, she could not eat like a normal person, and thus the only way to sustain her nourishment was through a nasogastric tube.When the ser
Luna stared at Samuel dazedly. "You… Did you agree to pray for my mother because you knew it was me?"From the calm attitude that Samuel was displaying, it seemed that he had been expecting her."Yes." He curled his lips into a small smile. "Your friend has told me everything about your situation."Luna fell silent for a moment, then replied, "Thank you."No wonder Gwen had been so excited when she told her that a kind priest had agreed to help them pray for Rosalyn at no charge.It turned out that…the priest was Samuel and that he had known it was her since the start."You don't have to thank me; I'm just trying to be kind." With that, Samuel shot Luna an earnest glance and added, "You haven't answered my question."Luna fell silent again, then let out an exhale and told him the truth, "My question hasn't been answered yet because after you left that day, I accidentally lost the ring you gave me."I didn't get the chance to see if there were any clues hidden within the ring, n
Even though Charles looked fine, he could not even struggle when Joshua was choking him…Therefore, it was safe to say that Charles was not in the pink of health at all.With that, Luna furrowed her brows and glanced at Samuel. "Did you use to know my father?"Samuel curled his lips into a smile. "Of course. Charles, Lucy, and I used to be classmates."As soon as she heard this, Luna's breath caught in her throat. She bit her lip and, after contemplating for a long while, finally asked, "Father Samuel, can you tell me…what happened between the three of you?"Luna had been wondering about this for a long time.Everything about Lucy Hamilton was a mystery.In the past, Granny Lynch had shown Luna a photo of Lucy and Samuel and even said that Samuel was Lucy's first love. On top of that, she had even commented that if only Lucy had married Samuel, everything would be fine.After that, Granny Quinn accused Lucy of being dirty and seducing Samuel.On top of that, the Quinn family's
Inside a hospital in Merchant City.Charles, who had been admitted due to high blood pressure, was leaning against his headboard as he drank a bowl of soup.Heather sat next to him, staring at him with a concerned look as she fed him his soup. "Father, it's already been a day. How are you feeling now?"You have to get better soon. Me and Malcolm's wedding is in three days."It's alright if you don't feel well enough to attend by that time, but I'm just scared that Malcolm and I will be so worried that we won't even enjoy the festivities!"Charles could not help sighing when he heard this. He gently patted Heather's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll get better soon.""Okay." Heather sighed as she continued feeding Charles. "That Joshua Lynch is despicable! Not only did he crash into our car, but he even treated you like this…"She ladled a spoonful of soup and brought it up to his lips. "Do you think he visits Luna every day? Why would we bump into him so coincidentally while we
"Unlike some people… Even after knowing I'm in the hospital, none of them showed up to even see me!"Luna had witnessed everything that happened, yet apart from asking Heather to send him to the hospital, she did not come to see him at all.Jim was even worse. He only showed up if he liked it, and even if the grim reaper was here to take him away, Jim would not even show up to say a last goodbye!As soon as he thought of the two children, Charles could not help growing more fond of the two people standing before him. He grabbed hold of both Heather and Malcolm's hands and said, "You two are kind children! Don't worry. Even if I have to use my last breath, I'll still attend your wedding in three days and become a witness to your love!"Charles sounded sincere when saying this.Malcolm murmured in approval, but a hint of impatience flashed through his eyes.After a while, Heather finally finished feeding Charles his meal.Charles was getting older and had been exhausted dealing wi
The entire hallway fell silent at Luna and Gwen's appearance. For the first time, a hint of fear and alarm flashed through Malcolm's usually calm and gentle eyes. He let out a slight cough. "Lu…Luna. How much of me and Heather's conversation…did you overhear?"Luna curled her lips into a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Malcolm, I'm asking you whether the things you just said were true. My face… Were you the one who ruined my face?"After her accident, Luna had been in a coma for a very long time, and when she finally woke up, the doctor told her that her looks had been ruined.She had never quite believed the doctor's words because when Jason hit her with his truck, she had injured her leg, not her face.On top of that, even after he had kicked her into the ocean, her face had not been injured either, so why would her looks be ruined?Because of this, Luna had removed the bandages on her face while no one was looking, and when she first saw her severely scarred and mutilated
Pain, anger, resentment…All these emotions surged into Heather's heart. She bit her lip and stormed forward, putting her body in between Malcolm and Luna. "Luna, if you don't believe me, then think back about what happened in the past. What did the wounds on your face look like? Can a car accident even cause injuries like that?"Don't you have a friend who's a plastic surgeon? Go ask her! You'll understand everything as soon as you ask her!""Heather Landry, are you insane?" Malcolm lunged forward and clapped his hand over Heather's mouth in alarm.At the same time, he lifted his head to shoot Luna an apologetic glance. "Heather is suffering from postpartum depression, so please don't believe all the nonsense she says."Luna remained motionless and forced out a smile.A split second later, she lifted her head to stare at Malcolm. "Why?"Why did he ruin her looks and force her to get plastic surgery?Was it because her old face was too ugly?Luna had never been ugly at all. Ev
