Dr. Rachel curled her lips into a mischievous smile. "We were talking about how you're still a virgin."Theo's face blushed scarlet when he heard this. He turned his head away and refused to give Dr. Rachel a second glance. "Well, if there's nothing else…we should hang up now. I have to go to bed soon."With that, he hung up the call as quick as lightning.On the other end of the line, Dr. Rachel could not help curling her lips into a smirk when the screen went dark."Still a virgin, huh?" she muttered under her breath, smiling."Dr. Liddell." All of a sudden, her assistant knocked on the door. "There's a man from Merchant City outside who claims to be a relative of Rosalyn's. He says his name is Quentin and wants to see her."Dr. Rachel furrowed her brows.A man was here to see Rosalyn?The only family of Rosalyn's that she knew of were Charles, Jim, and Luna, so where did this Quentin guy come from?Dr. Rachel followed the assistant out of the room, her mind filled with ques
Quentin did not answer Dr. Rachel's question at all.After the assistant finished checking him, he changed into his sterile gown and bowed to Dr. Rachel. "Thank you, Dr. Liddell."With that, he entered Rosalyn's room under the guidance of the assistants.All the while, Dr. Rachel felt like this man was rather ominous.Therefore, as soon as Quentin entered the room, she went into the control room to stare at the security footage of Rosalyn's room.After all, Rosalyn was in a vegetative state, and even if Quentin did not have anything dangerous with him, he could still kill her with his bare hands.As soon as she thought of this, Dr. Rachel could not help regretting her decision of letting him in after being swayed by his seemingly sincere attitude.What was she supposed to tell Luna and Theo if something were to happen to Rosalyn?The door to Rosalyn's room was opened, and the assistants ushered Quentin into the room.The first thing he did after entering was to locate the surv
"Luna…might not be able to get the phone right now.""Anyone else from the Landry family is fine! Get Charles or Jim!"Dr. Rachel anxiously persisted as she tried to correct the disturbances in Rosalyn's vital signs, "Especially Charles! Get him to call here, or better yet, get him to come to Lincoln City right away! Rosalyn isn't going to make it!"Theo's entire body froze when he heard this. "How could this be?""Just now, a man claiming to be Rosalyn's brother arrived to see her and said some stuff to her that led to her condition deteriorating."Never had Dr. Rachel thought that this man named Quentin would be able to destroy Rosalyn's will to survive just with a few sentences.After all, this was a mature, level-headed woman in her mid-fifties. Apart from the fact that she could not speak or move, she still maintained her consciousness and was still capable of thinking for herself.This was the first time Dr. Rachel discovered that it only took ten minutes to destroy an adu
Jim could not believe his ears."Are you…Joshua Lynch?" he asked dubiously."Yes, it's me." Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and said, "I guess after a year of spending time together, you've grown to recognize my voice quite well."Jim rolled his eyes and asked, frowning, as he flung open the car door and got into the car, "Why is Luna with you?"Had she not gone to conduct a business meeting with Mr. Hanson?"How dare you even ask me that?" Joshua curled his lips into a sneer. "After announcing her return to Landry Group, I thought you'd assign her some other task to increase morale within the company, but it turns out you sent her to attend an orgy with Mr. Hanson and his friends."Joshua then added condescendingly, "If it weren't for me, she would've woken up in Mr. Hanson's bed by now! What kind of brother are you?"Joshua's scolding made Jim furrow his brows in confusion. "What on earth are you talking about?"When did he send Luna to attend an orgy?Luna had requested
Jim closed his eyes and laughed at himself for being too paranoid.He was even having hallucinations already.…When Joshua and Theo arrived at Dr. Rachel's research facility in Lincoln City with Luna, it was already 5 a.m.The song that Charles had sung for her was played on repeat in Rosalyn's room.As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the research facility, Luna's eyes fluttered open even before the car had stopped, as though she had a premonition.She glanced at her surroundings, frowning, then immediately jerked awake when she laid eyes on Joshua.Memories of everything that happened the night before surged into her mind…Luna paused, then shifted her body toward the door, keeping a safe distance between her and Joshua. "Where are we? Where are we going?"It was already bright out, so where was Joshua bringing her so early in the morning?"We're in Lincoln City," Theo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, answered with an exhale. "Last night, something happene
Luna felt a little dazed when she heard Joshua's low voice.Would she be willing to return to Banyan City with him if they were not mortal enemies?She did not know the answer.Even if they were not enemies, she knew that she was not the most important thing to him.This was the man who was willing to help Hunter Quinn to keep her in jail over his vengeance toward her family.Was a man like this even capable of loving her fully, even if they were not enemies?Luna was not sure of the answer.Even though she had known for a long time that she was the most important woman to him—even more so than Aura, Alice, and even Fiona—she still knew that to him, love was not the most important thing in his life.Joshua treasured his family and himself more than any woman.Luna's silence was already an answer.Joshua curled his lips into a bitter smile and could not help recalling what Theo had told him the night before."In the past, you were so important to Luna that she was unwilling t
"Mother will wake up soon."Even though Rosalyn was not his birth mother, the amount of love and affection she had shown toward him was not less than that of a birth mother.Not only that, but she had treated him even better than how she treated Heather, whom she had always thought was her biological daughter until they finally found Luna.When he saw Charles finally admitting his love toward Rosalyn, Jim felt a weight lift off his shoulders.He guessed that if Lucy, his birth mother and Charles' first love in his lifetime, were to see this, she would probably be happy too.Luna and Jim remained in the room as they watched their parents for more than half an hour.They finally left when Theo knocked on the door, telling them that Dr. Rachel wanted to speak to them."Your mother's condition is a little more complex than before." As soon as Jim and Luna entered the room, Dr. Rachel exhaled and started explaining the situation to them. "Previously, her will to survive has been extr
Both Luna and Jim lifted their heads at the same time upon hearing Joshua's remark.They stared at him with questioning looks. "Do you know who he is?""Yes." Joshua smiled and pressed the 'play' button on the video displayed on his phone.It was a video of Granny Quinn from the same morning when she had announced the identity of the future heir to the Quinn family.Inside the video, Granny Quinn had described the dilemma the Quinn family was facing at the moment without any hesitation.Malcolm, the eldest son of the Quinn family, had chosen to leave the family and live with Heather on their own.Hunter, on the other hand, was arrested for certain reasons and would likely not be able to get out of jail anytime soon.Therefore, none of them would be able to take over as the new heir to the Quinn family.Because of this, Granny Quinn had announced a new addition to the family named Quentin Simms, her godson.Inside the video, Granny Quinn was beaming from ear to ear as she grasp
