Chapter 1623

Author: Inked Snow
After hanging up the phone, Joshua narrowed his brows and stared intently at the report before him.

The child that had died a month ago was not his at all.

Therefore, the servant had not been lying; this was not his and Luna's child at all.

However…

Their child's whereabouts, and whether she was still living or not, were all in the unknown.

Therefore, before tracking down the child and confirming that she was still alive, Joshua did not intend to tell Luna.

She had just gotten over her grief of losing the child, and if he gave her hope at this moment…

He was worried that if the outcome was not what they expected, Luna would not be able to bear the emotional burden.

Joshua closed his eyes and leaned against the sofa.

Truth be told, he could confirm that the person who had ordered the sniper to kill Vivian was none other than Malcolm. Therefore, he knew that Malcolm was the most likely person to have switched out his and Luna's child with another one.

    As soon as he finished his sentence, Malcolm turned and strode out of the room, adjusting his tie at the same time. "Don't worry; I have other plans."Hunter had already left Merchant City for almost a month, and he had previously arranged for a woman and baby to show up at Quinn Mansion to play along with Hunter's act.Therefore, Joshua could not possibly have any time to investigate him when he should have been investigating Hunter at this point.Heather remained motionless and clenched her fists at her side, staring at Malcolm's retreating figure.How dare this man adore Luna so much and call her stupid? No matter how many times Malcolm claimed not to care about Luna, Heather knew that he still loved Luna and would rather have Luna over her!If it were not for the fact that she and Malcolm had slept together by accident eight months ago…Malcolm would have disposed of her already!What right did Luna have? Why did the two elders of the Landry family adore Luna so much, and why

    "What a jokester you are, Jim." Heather chuckled. "Of course Riley is me and Malcolm's child; how can we possibly have messed up?"With that, she quickly changed the subject. "How are you doing now, Father? Does your head still hurt?"However, Jim refused to let her change the topic. "Heather, I don't think you should be so sure of yourself. I've been watching the news, and there have been many cases where the hospitals messed up the children in Merchant City as of late."He narrowed his eyes and added, "I think it'll be better if you, Malcolm, and Riley went to do a DNA test together. It'd be best if Riley were indeed your daughter, but if she isn't, we can still get the real one back."With that, he turned to glance at Charles. "What do you say, Father? You wouldn't want what happened to Heather and Luna to happen again, do you?"Charles furrowed his brows.Truth be told, he had agreed with Heather and felt it was not necessary to conduct the DNA test at all, but as soon as Jim

    Heather turned around and smiled at the man leaning against his headboard. "Yes, Father.""Are you hurt?" Charles' gaze landed on Heather's shoulder.Heather paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head as she wiped her tears away. "No, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all."She sniffed and sat down in a chair next to Charles, then started reassuring him, sighing at the same time.Charles, thinking that she was sighing because of her encounter with Jim, lifted her head to stroke Heather's hair. "Don't be too bothered about that rascal. He has always been so rude and rough around other people.""But he's always been gentle to Luna." Heather sniffed and lifted her head to meet Charles' gaze. "Father, don't you think that Luna needs someone with her?"Charles furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"Heather sighed and continued, "Actually, even though Luna had enraged you last night, it turned out that everything was just a misunderstanding."Luna hadn't brought Joshua Lynch here a

    Luna never expected that Charles would arrange a blind date for her!She gripped her phone tightly and furrowed her brows. "Father, I don't need this. I—"Before she could even finish, Charles had already hung up the phone.Luna frowned even harder as she listened to the dial tone.After hanging up, she quickly dialed Charles' number once more, but she could not get through to him.Luna could not help feeling a little exasperated.How could she possibly go for a blind date knowing that what was happening with the child still had not been resolved yet?However, Charles was the one who had set up this date, and if she did not attend, the other party would think lowly of him.Luna decided not to be bothered by this anymore and went back to bed.She fell asleep until evening. Finally, she was awoken by Gwen knocking on her door. "Luna, the Landry family's butler has come to bring you to your blind date."Luna opened her eyes sleepily and could not help sighing when she heard wh

    With that, he handed Luna a card and said, "However, if you don't mind, I think we can work together so that we can both fulfill our family's wishes."Luna furrowed her brows and took the card from him.The card was folded in half, and as soon as she unfolded it, she caught sight of one single row of words.[I'm gay.]Luna widened her eyes in shock and lifted her head to stare at the man before her.Master Crawford smiled at her and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you. My name is Caleb Crawford."Luna fell silent for two seconds before smiling and shaking his hand. "Hello, nice to meet you."She did not despise people like him at all. After all, there were all kinds of people in this world, and as long as they did not interfere with her life, she did not mind their sexual preferences at all.However, as soon as she found out that Master Crawford was not interested in women, she grew even more open in conversing with him.The two of them chatted happily in their booth.

    Luna and Caleb talked about everything, from jewelry design to Theo's drawings. Caleb mentioned that he was very fond of Theo and hoped that Luna would be able to introduce them someday."Don't worry; I know that he's straight. I just admire his work very much and would like to buy some of his drawings someday."Knowing how well-off Caleb was, Luna naturally could not miss out on the opportunity to help her friend close a business deal.Therefore, as she continued chatting with Caleb, she contacted Theo and finally managed to help them finalize a deal.When the two of them left Lucky Den after their meal, the sky had begun to pour with heavy rain.Caleb offered to send Luna home, and after rejecting his offer multiple times, Luna still got into his car in the end.Standing at the third-floor window, Joshua narrowed his eyes as he watched Luna get into Caleb's car.He could not imagine that this same woman who had called him the night before because she had a bad dream was gett

    The bald man sneered, stood up, and circled Luna a few times before finally squatting in front of her and grabbing hold of her chin. "Why would a gorgeous woman like you be on a blind date with a man like Master Crawford? Don't you think I'm so much manlier than him? Hmm?"A glimmer of lustful greed flashed through his eyes. "Have some fun with me tonight, won't you?""Harris! I'm the one you should be looking for, so don't make things difficult for this woman," yelled Caleb, frowning. "She's from Merchant City, and her family is very powerful and wealthy here, so don't you dare touch her!"The man named Harris chuckled and reached out to grab hold of Luna's neck with one hand while the other pinched her cheek. "What's wrong? Are you worried about this woman, Master Crawford?"You had simply gone on one dinner date with this woman, but why are you already so concerned about her? I never knew you were such a hopeless romantic!" Harris' sweat and wine-stained fingers brushed across

    Previously, Luna could not understand why Harris, the gangster who had come from Lincoln City, would want to capture her along with Caleb.As soon as he said this, however, she understood everything.This night, Harris had kidnapped both of them under the pretenses of capturing Caleb, but his real target was her!Therefore, it was clear that whoever had bought out Harris was someone from Merchant City, and this person was very familiar with Luna. This person knew that all of the gangs in Merchant City were under Luke's power now, and since Luna was Gwen's friend, no one in Merchant City would dare to hurt Luna. Even if they dared to take this dangerous task, they would soon be targeted by Luke. However, it was not the case for an outsider from Lincoln City. Harris had come all the way from Lincoln City to find Caleb, and even if Luke had found out about this, he would think that Harris was just after Caleb and would not interfere in this business. This had given Harris the

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face.

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
