Heather thus lifted her head to stare intently at Luna, who was standing behind Jim. "I'm here to apologize to you."Because she had lost two teeth, Heather's voice sounded slightly muffled as she spoke. "Luna, I know what I did yesterday was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me."Luna frowned upon hearing this. "You're here to apologize?"Since when did Heather become so self-aware as to apologize to her before Luna could even reprimand her voluntarily?Jim, too, furrowed his brows and lowered his head to stare at the kneeling woman. "That's unusual; you're apologizing to Luna?"Heather bit her lip and lowered her head even more, trying to ignore both Jim and Luna's contemptuous gazes. "Yes, I'm here to apologize. Luna, everything that happened last night was my fault."I shouldn't have let Father arrange that blind date for you, nor should I have provided Harris the information when I knew he was out to get Caleb Crawford. And…"She bit down on her lip. "I shouldn't have let H
As soon as she brought up Luna and Malcolm's past, Luna narrowed her eyes. Truth be told, from the moment she found out Malcolm was the one that had ruined her looks, intending to use her for his personal gain, Luna had been curious about one thing…She strolled to Heather's side. "Answer my questions first."Seeing that Luna's attitude had relaxed, Heather nodded furiously. "Anything. I'll tell you everything that I know!"Luna narrowed her eyes. "I've been wanting to know: Had Malcolm saved me out of coincidence, or had this all been planned since the start?"In the past, Luna had been so trusting of Malcolm that she never doubted his intentions. She had always thought Malcolm had indeed been sailing in that thunderstorm and saved her after coming across her in the ocean by accident.In the past, she had even told her children that Malcolm was the kindest man on earth and taught them to learn from him.Seeing as she had seen through Malcolm's tricks, however, she could not he
It turned out that…She was too naïve. How could a man willing to do anything to achieve what he wanted possibly show kindness toward her and her children?As soon as Heather finished her sentence, Jim furrowed his brows and asked, "Since Malcolm had been wanting to use Luna since the start, why did he even help her give birth to her three children and even take care of them?""That's because the three children…"Their father is Joshua Lynch, the heir to the Lynch family fortune, and their mother is Luna, the future heiress of Landry family."Malcolm knew that if he had power over the children, he'd one day be able to dominate both the Lynch and Landry families."Luna felt her blood run cold upon hearing this.This man…had planned everything right from the start."Luna." Heather bit her lip after answering Luna and Jim's questions. "I've already told you everything that you wish to know. Can you…"Luna smirked upon hearing this. "Had I made you a promise just now?"Heather
Luna turned around and stared at Heather in shock. "Do you know where my child's body is?"As soon as she saw Luna's attitude, Heather felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.As long as Luna was interested in knowing the whereabouts of her child's body, she could use this against her!At the thought of this, Heather let out an exhale and quickly nodded. "Not only do I know where it is, I even know who took it."Didn't that servant Vivian tell you that your child was still alive before she died? If you can find your child's corpse, you'll be able to do a DNA test, and then, you'll be able to find out if that corpse truly belongs to your child and whether it's still alive or not."Heather let out an exhale and stared intently at Luna. "If you promise not to call the cops about what happened last night and let me have my wedding, I'll tell you everything you want to know."Jim snickered when he heard this. Despite being with Malcolm for more than six months, Hea
"What nonsense!"As soon as she said this, Heather stormed back to her car as though she had just seen a ghost and drove away.Jim leaned against his car, staring coldly in the direction she had left in, and curled his lips into a smirk.Looking in the rearview mirror, Heather could see every single hint of his expression. She bit her lip and narrowed her eyes.Jim must have found out something about them!The day before, inside Charles' ward, he had deliberately brought up the idea of bringing her and Riley for a DNA test, and right at this moment, he was toying with the suggestion of bringing her for a checkup to determine if she had indeed given birth or not.That b*stard!She would get rid of him someday!After returning home, Luna knocked on Gwen's room door to say hi, then went into Rosalyn's room to visit her.After two days of intensive care, the skin on Rosalyn's back which had previously decayed, was starting to heal.The new servant reported every detail to Luna ob
Luna raised her brows. A guest, and a stranger, no less?All the people she knew in Merchant City had already been to her house before, so the servants recognized them. Who else could it be?Luna strode out of the room, her mind filled with questions.The servant was right; this guest was indeed a stranger to them.The man was dressed in a white shirt and army green pants, with a backpack slung across his body. He stood in the center of the courtyard with his back facing Luna, staring at a pine tree in the center of the yard.He was tall and lean, and his slightly long hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of his head. His entire being emanated an aura of artistic humility.When he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, the man turned around and said with a small smile playing on his lips, "Long time no see, Luna."For a second, Luna could not believe her eyes. She stared dazedly at the man before her. "Theo… Theo Allen?"Seeing how shocked she looked, Theo smiled and walke
As she said this, the doctor glanced at Theo. "Seeing how dedicated he was to your cause, I promised to come with him and take a look."With that, she swept her glance around the yard and finally pointed in the direction of Rosalyn's room. "Is the patient in there?"Luna paused for a moment, then nodded and led the way.Theo and Dr. Rachel followed behind her, and as he walked, Theo asked, frowning, "Dr. Liddell, how did you know the patient was in this room?"Dr. Rachel chuckled and replied, "Didn't you tell me your friend is kind and dedicated toward her mother? Well, this room isn't connected to the rest of the building, so it's far quieter and gets plenty of sunlight during the day. It's the perfect room to house a person in a vegetative state to ensure their recovery."Since your friend is a dedicated daughter, it's only natural to assume that she would allow her mother to rest in that room."Theo paused for a moment, then gave Dr. Rachel a thumbs-up.At the same time, he c
Luna was so delighted to hear this that she almost leaped into the air!She clasped her hands gratefully and said, "How long will it take for my mother to awaken if we abide by your treatment plan, Dr. Liddell?"If Rosalyn could wake up, then Charles's condition would also get better.As soon as he woke up, Luna and Jim would be able to expose Malcolm and Heather's crimes to him so that he would not be deceived by them anymore, like how she had been tricked in the past. Dr. Rachel furrowed her brows, staring at the wounds on Rosalyn's back. "I can't give you a specific date, but it won't exceed two months. If her will is powerful, then she might even be able to wake up after a week."With that, she pointed at Rosalyn's back and asked, "What happened here?"Luna fell silent for a moment, then finally explained how Rosalyn had been harmed.Dr. Rachel chuckled and retorted, "Well, it seems your place isn't as safe as I initially thought."With that, she tidied up her things and t
