What made him better than Luke?As soon as he thought of this, Joshua sighed and said, "Alright then, just remember not to go too overboard.""Don't worry." Luke curled his lips into a smirk and replied, "I won't dare hurt her with your precious Luna there."Joshua's breath caught in his throat when he heard Luna's voice.After that, he hung up the phone after instructing Luke to send Luna back after this ordeal was over."Mr. Lynch."At this moment, Dr. Laura had already finished treating Bonnie's broken finger.Seeing that Joshua had hung up his call, she quickly approached him smilingly and handed him her handwritten medical notes. "I think I should be upfront with you about Ms. Bonnie's health as of now."She stared at him intently and asked, "Are you her boyfriend?"Joshua furrowed his brows, shot her a displeased look, then lowered his head to stare at the notes he was holding. "She's my wife's friend."Dr. Laura's expression darkened slightly when she heard this.Of c
Luna chewed her bottom lip and hugged Gwen's trembling body."It's fine, it's fine. Since you can't run anymore…let's stop."Luna knew fully well why Gwen was so desperate to escape from Luke.It was not only because he had killed Gwen's fiancé, but there were plenty of other reasons.For example, he never took notice of Gwen's preferences and would always fire the servants and maids she liked.He would always suspect that Gwen was having an affair with some of his subordinates and would constantly punish them for this.On top of that…He robbed her of her freedom.Apart from forbidding her from going out, he would sometimes feed her medicine that put her to sleep, and every time he did this, she would end up sleeping for two days and wake up with fresh hickeys and bruises all over her body.Sometimes, Gwen would wake up with rope marks over her wrists and ankles and even needle track marks on her elbows.This man was deluded.Alas, out of sheer rotten luck, Gwen just so hap
"Don't you think my complexion looks much better than before?"Luna bit her lip and nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, I do!"Gwen was right. Even though Luke was cruel, merciless, and viewed Gwen as his personal property, he still took care of her meticulously.She had to admit that Gwen looked much healthier compared to how she had looked a year ago when she flew to Merchant City to take care of Luna.Regardless, Luna still swore that she would one day help Gwen escape from Luke!The two women continued sobbing in the restroom for a while longer before Gwen finally let go of Luna and strode out of the restroom.The station outside the restroom was as deserted as before.Luke was leaning against a wall right across the women's toilet, toying with his phone lazily.He furrowed his brows slightly when he heard Gwen's footsteps coming out of the toilet.However, he did not lift his head at all, nor did he stop toying with his phone.Gwen bit her lip as she stared at this man,
Throughout the entire journey from the bus station back to Joshua's house, the only thing Luna could think of was the sad look in Gwen's eyes when Luke carried her away.Luna could sense the despair and helplessness Gwen had felt.However, every time she looked at Luna, she tried to make her expression look as calm as possible and even tried to signal that she would be fine.However…the more Gwen tried to be strong, the more guilty Luna felt.She did not have the courage to tell Gwen that it was her fault she had gotten caught.It was all her fault.She had let Joshua find out about Gwen's plan and allowed him to notify Luke, which led to Gwen's capture.Luna closed her eyes and clenched her fists.The car soon arrived at Joshua's house.Luke's men quickly got out of the car and opened Luna's door. As he did so, he shoved a flash drive into her hands. "Ms. Luna, this is the thing that Ms. Gwen wanted to give you. Please take good care of it."Luna took the flash drive from hi
Luna felt her chest tighten as soon as she thought of this.What infuriated her even more was the playful tone of Joshua's voice as he teased Luke, "Don't worry about me. You just take care of Gwen, and I'll handle Luna from here. She and I won't fight over this, so don't worry."Alright then, I'll be waiting to hear good news from you, and hopefully, I'll get a wedding invitation soon."Luna could feel her blood pressure rise when she heard this.All the blood in her body seemed to rush into her head.How dare this man even say something like this?He was telling Luke to take care of Gwen and not worry about him since he would have a way of handling Luna himself.He even said he looked forward to receiving an invitation to Gwen and Luke's wedding soon.Luna let out an exhale and stomped over to him. "Joshua Lynch!"Joshua furrowed his brows when he sensed Luna's fury, but before he could say anything, Luna lifted her hand and swung it toward his face—Before she could slap h
Joshua immediately frowned when he heard this.He had indeed been on a phone call with Luke previously while at the bus station, but he had not called him to rat on Gwen.He had called Luke out of concern that he would blame this on Luna, knowing that Luke and Luna would definitely run into each other at the station.As soon as he heard that Gwen was heading to the station to meet Luna, he contacted Caleb to verify whether Luke was in Lincoln City.After all, Luke had been planning to head there for a business trip, and Lincoln City was Caleb's territory.Therefore, if Luke had arrived there, Caleb would surely have been alerted of his presence.Because of this, as soon as Caleb told him that Luke had not come to Lincoln City, Joshua immediately knew that Luke had pulled a no-show on the man he had been planning to meet with for a business opportunity.The reason he had done so was to recapture Gwen, the bird who had attempted to escape from her captivity in search of freedom.
Luna was so thunderstruck to hear this news that her blood ran cold.After five seconds, she lowered her head to scrutinize the report Joshua handed to her once more.It was clearly written there that Bonnie was pregnant, and she was about a month along, too.Luna bit her lip.A month ago…Was this not the time when she was recovering from having just given birth?She remembered very clearly that she could not seem to get in touch with Jim at all during that time.After that, she heard from elsewhere that Jim's daughter, Shelly, had run a high fever during that time, and Bonnie had been blaming herself for failing to take care of Shelly properly.Because of this, Jim had flown over to Banyan City especially to visit her, which finally helped Bonnie overcome her guilt.This meant that…the baby inside Bonnie's womb was probably conceived during that time.Seeing that Luna was no longer fixated on Luke and Gwen, Joshua rubbed his brows in exasperation and said, "I had gone to th
Luna's breath caught in her throat as soon as Joshua brought up her moving her luggage into his room.That morning, she never thought that Joshua would treat her so coldly.When she woke up in his bed that morning, she could not help feeling a little glad, even though she was so exhausted that she did not even have a single ounce of strength left in her body.She thought Joshua had been telling the truth when he told her he missed her.She thought that when he dragged her into bed that night, it was because he could no longer suppress his longingness and lust for her anymore.Not only that, but when Luna recalled how nice he had been acting toward her lately, as well as his enthusiasm in investigating Colin's death in order to resolve the vengeance between their two families, she could not help feeling blissful and ended up moving all her luggage into Joshua's room.At that time, Luna thought that some things did not need to be said, just like how he had brought her into bed out
