Luna stood outside the pharmacy and looked through the glass door at Neil as she sighed helplessly. It was difficult at times for her to believe that her three angels—Nigel, Neil, and Nellie—were Joshua’s children. That man did not deserve to have such obedient children.

“Mommy.” Luna had spaced out, and by the time she snapped out of her daze, Neil had gotten out of the pharmacy with a tube of medicinal ointment at hand.

He grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. “Let’s go home. I’ll help you apply the medicine!” He stayed silent for a moment before he lifted his head to look at her. “Don’t be too bothered about that scumbag. We can still achieve what we want even without him!”

Luna sighed and clutched his hand tightly. “I believe you.”

As long as her children were with her, she believed she could overcome every obstacle that came her way.

Perhaps it was a tiring day that as soon as she got home and applied the ointment onto her wound, Luna immediately laid down on her bed and fell into

    When Luna woke up the next day, Neil had already headed to kindergarten on his own.He had prepared breakfast for her before he left and left a note that read, [Mommy, by the time you read this, I’ve already left for school. Please remember to take your meals and keep your wound dry. Also, I’ve left this for you.] Underneath the note was a pregnancy test kit.Luna perched on the side of the bed as she read the note. She glanced at the plate of food as well as the pregnancy test kit on the table. Her eyes started to tear up. Her children’s thoughtfulness over her tugged at her heartstrings. She hesitated for a moment before getting up and heading into the bathroom, taking the pregnancy test with her.Only one line. She was not pregnant, after all.Luna let out a wry smile and tossed the pregnancy test into the trash can. She should have known that it would not be so easy. Her life had never been easy.After she washed up, Luna sat down at the dining table. She ate her breakfast

    Luna’s outfit indeed looked like something a young design intern would wear.Wesley froze at the sight. For a split second, he could not believe that this woman was the same one who had answered the door a few minutes ago.“Today will be my first day of work, right?” Luna did not seem to notice his bewilderment. Instead, she walked down the steps and continued with an air of nonchalance, “Can you please explain the working hours to me? I might have to get off work early because I need to pick up my son from school.”Following behind her, Wesley was so shocked by her statement that he was tongue-tied. “You…have a son?” This woman did not look a day over 20. How could she have a son already?“Of course.” Luna chuckled. “My son is best friends with Mr. Lynch’s daughter.”Wesley came to a sudden realization. No wonder this woman, who lived in such an ordinary residential area, seemed to be friends with Mr. Lynch. It was all because of her son.The two left Luna’s building together an

    “It’s… a long story.” Zach scratched his head, embarrassed. “I know that it might seem a bit hard to believe, but we’re both good people. We’ve always obeyed every single one of Boss’ commands. We know that you’re related to our boss, so we’ll surely try our best to take care of you!”Luna froze in astonishment. It took a long while before she finally forced out, “Thank you…”She followed Wesley into the building and gave herself a small knock on the head. Since when did Neil have two burly ‘brothers’ like Zach and Yuri?“Ms. Luna not only knows our boss, Mr. Lynch personally, but seems to be close with our security guards, too,” remarked Wesley pointedly as they got into the elevator. He pressed a button for one of the floors and added, “You should’ve joined us earlier. If you did, you probably would have held a permanent position by now, instead of working as an intern.”There was a hint of sarcasm in Wesley’s tone. Luna gave him a faint smile. “I’m happy to be working as an inte

    Wesley rolled his eyes. “Mr. Lynch claims that his ex-wife isn’t dead and that he’s still waiting for her to return, but it’s been so many years now. I think it’s safe to say that she isn’t coming back anymore.”He continued, “If in a couple more years Mr. Lynch gets tired of waiting for her and wants to remarry, Courtney will be his first choice for sure!”Luna’s lips twisted into a smile and said nothing in response. She could not understand why Wesley was so confident in his prediction, yet at the same time, it was not too far-fetched either. Even if Joshua changed his mind and wanted to marry someone who looked like the past Luna, it was none of her business anymore. The only thing she had in mind was to get pregnant and give birth to Joshua’s child so she could cure Nigel.While Luna was deep in thought, the elevator arrived on the 18th floor.Wesley cleared his throat and led Luna into the department. “Hello, everyone, I’d like to introduce you to a new member of our compan

    Perhaps Luna’s gaze was too intense. Joshua, from his office, looked up and noticed her eyes.Their gazes met.Her gaze shifted from dazed to startled, while his changed from shock to aloofness. They looked at each other for a long time before Courtney realized that something was off.She looked up and saw Luna.“That is Luna,” Courtney introduced to Joshua. “When I was in the elevator just now, I saw Mr. Fisher leading her to the department of design to report.”She then smiled gently. “Ms. Luna is very gorgeous. Her beauty mesmerized me in the elevator just now.”Courtney’s words made Joshua furrow his brows. He shifted his gaze from Luna and turned to look at Courtney.“You still haven’t explained yourself. I instructed Lucas to get me a new male secretary.”How did the male secretary become a female in a day’s time? She even looked like Luna Gibson, no less.Courtney must have known very well everything that happened. Courtney’s face turned a little pale. She lowered

    Joshua found it comical. “I thought that you didn’t want to serve anybody anymore when you quit your job as my servant at Blue Bay Villa, yet here you are, at my company’s department of design, serving my employees?”Luna smiled without saying a word. “This is Mr. Lynch’s request, so it’s natural that I had to obey.”“You’ll do whatever I say?”“Of course.” Luna smiled. She looked up at Joshua, her eyes rather seductive. “When Mr. Lynch told me not to move, not once have I moved. Do you still remember, Mr. Lynch?” she spoke meaningfully.Joshua’s eyes narrowed as he looked into her beguiling eyes.He could not seem to resist her seduction. Courtney had a similar face to Luna Gibson, more so than Luna, yet he barely reacted to her.Unable to avert himself from Luna’s gaze, he lowered his head, irritated. He randomly flipped through the proposals as he glanced through.“Have you gone through them?” he questioned as he skimmed through the proposals with furrowed brows.Luna knew

    “Too bad I still failed.”Luna looked at Joshua with a small smile. “I overestimated your love for your ex-wife. I used to hear others talk about how much you loved Luna Gibson, but it was only after I got close to you did I realize…”Luna looked at him with a cold gaze. “You don’t love her as much as the rumors say.”Joshua furrowed his brows. His tone was frigid. “Just because you have served me for a few days, you think you have the right to question me?”“Of course.” Luna smiled gracefully. “I’ve once served Mr. Lynch. I’ll admit that I look nothing like Luna Gibson, but you still did the unspeakable to me, didn’t you, Mr. Lynch?”Her words instantly brought Joshua back to that wild night.Joshua’s expressions darkened. He frowned hard. That night…she looked so much like Luna Gibson. Too much alike.If it were not for her face, he would even think that they were the same person, but the truth was…Joshua smiled a little. “What I did when I was drunk isn’t worth you recall

    It was that one night after work that Luna, out of sheer hunger, groggily got up and unwrapped the box of snacks to munch on.It turned out that she accidentally unwrapped the gift that she gave Joshua and took a bite on the pen.She initially thought Joshua would despise the pen, but she did not expect that Joshua would put the pen in his shirt pocket. “A pen with a bite mark. It’s quite special. Thank you.”He was gentle and kind back then, and she fell hard for him.From then onward, she would chase after his every step, not caring if anyone objected. She had to marry him. Luna knew he never liked her once. She thought that she could melt his cold heart with her fervent passion.Alas, he remained aloof to her feelings.Luna was perplexed. Only she and he knew the origin of this pen. That meant if he threw this pen away, no one would realize that his love for his ex-wife was fake. Why had he kept this pen all along? He even used it…“Ms. Luna.” Joshua’s voice suddenly brou

    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. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    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
