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
"Nonsense!"Alarmed at his scheme being exposed, Malcolm gritted his teeth in anger and glared at Joshua. "I hadn't ruined Luna's face at all, and I had never had bad intentions toward her before!"With that, he turned to stare at Luna, who was shielded behind Joshua, with an expression of alarm. "Luna, please don't believe what Joshua says! He's just trying to drive a wedge between us and distance us from each other!"Luna narrowed her eyes. "Well, if Joshua is just trying to drive a wedge between us, then what about your precious Heather? Is she on the same side as Joshua, then?"Malcolm grew even more agitated upon hearing this. He bit his lip, and for the first time ever, he was so nervous that he could not even talk normally anymore. "Heather… She's suffering from postpartum depression and was bamboozled by Joshua!"No…He could not let Luna know about what happened six years ago!This crucial piece of information would expose his elaborate scheme!He could not let this ha
"Father is still resting, so let's not disturb him."Heather snickered, then lifted her head to glance at Luna. "Well, as much as I care about Father, not even his biological daughter cares about his feelings at all. I can't believe she's brought along Father's nemesis to cause a commotion right outside Father's room at this hour!"Luna narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. She curled her lips into a smirk, circled past Joshua, and made her way until she stood before Heather and Malcolm. Then, she looked at them from a great height and said, "The reason I had come here was initially to visit Father, but who was the one who caused a commotion in the first place?"Finally, her gaze landed on Malcolm's pale face. "Malcolm, let me just ask you one thing: Was everything that Joshua said just now true?"Malcolm let out an exhale and replied, "Luna, are you more willing to believe Joshua Lynch, the man who hurt you so many times and even attempted to murder your mother, over me, who saved
Seeing the way Heather was behaving, Luna could not help furrowing her brows.She wanted nothing more than to walk away right that instant.However, her gaze fell on Charles, who was being helped up from the floor by Heather. No matter how many mistakes he committed, he was still her father.He was the man Rosalyn would risk her life for in a heartbeat. Luna had just prayed for Rosalyn to wake up that same day. If she enraged Charles so much that he died of a burst blood vessel…Luna let out a sigh, and after weighing the benefits and losses of the situation, she strode over and reached out to help Charles. "Father, I..."She let out an exhale and said, "I'm sorry.""Get away from me!" Charles ignored her entirely and instead shoved her away. He had used so much strength in his shove that Luna's entire body was slammed against the wall.A twinge of pain shot up her spine, but she resisted the pain she felt and stood up, leaning on the wall for support. She said with a pale
