Except…The only thing Luna seemed to have done for him was giving birth to a daughter whom she had lost just mere minutes after her birth and could not track down, even until at present time.As soon as she thought of this, Luna clutched the jade ring inside her coat pocket tightly.This was the ring she had gotten from Jim.As soon as she returned to Joshua's house after picking up Bonnie, she would be able to help Joshua uncover the truth of his Aunt Lucy's death…Just as Luna was immersed in her thoughts, the car had already arrived at the clinic near the factory Sean Wheeler worked at.He had not been lying when he told her how rundown the clinic was.Joshua parked the car, and as soon as the car screeched to a halt, Luna flung the door open and stormed into the clinic. "Bonnie!""I'm here."The clinic was astonishingly small, with only a chair, a small bed, and a tiny table for the doctor to do his work inside it.At this moment, Bonnie was lying on the bed, her face pa
"I can't hide anything from you after all." Bonnie smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect you'd come, and if Luna had come to pick me up alone, I would've been able to hide this from her, but…"Bonnie let out a small sigh.Joshua was so sharp and observant that just one glance at her was enough to convince him that something was different about her.Bonnie knew that if she did not admit the truth, Joshua would still have another way of finding out.Therefore, there was no point in hiding the truth.After letting out another sigh, Bonnie propped herself up on the bed weakly.She extended her pale, almost colorless hand to take a piece of paper out of her pocket.As soon as she saw this, a bad feeling crept into Luna's heart.She stormed forward and snatched the paper out of Bonnie's hands.As soon as she laid eyes on the neatly printed words on the page, Luna felt as though she had been struck by lightning, and she took a small step back in shock. "Bonnie, you…""I underwent an abo
She and Bonnie were very well aware of that fact already!However…Luna knew that it was too hard for Bonnie to continue waiting for Jim anymore.Not everyone could go through the pain of being abandoned by a loved one.Bonnie had already been abandoned by Jason once in the past. With that traumatizing experience, Luna did not think it was wrong of her to choose a more rational option that prioritized herself more."I'm telling the truth." Joshua continued to stare intently at Bonnie. "Ask yourself this; how much do you love the Jim that was with you before he lost his memories? How can you leave him and get rid of your child, knowing that he's just sick and out of his mind now? How can you be certain that Jim will never wake up from this one day? What if he does? How do you think he'll react if he regains his memories one day and finds out about what you did?"Bonnie could not help gripping the surgery consent form tighter when she heard Joshua's words. She bit her lip and stare
"You—"Bonnie could not help letting out a shriek of surprise as she was lifted off the bed without warning.However, Sean held her even closer against his body as he replied reassuringly, "Don't worry, I've got you."Bonnie bit her lip and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to stop herself from falling.Sean turned and strode out of the room, carrying Bonnie in this amorous position all the way to the car.Luna remained motionless, staring in disbelief at the scene before her.She had simply asked Sean to help her bring Bonnie out to the car, but she did not expect him to carry her out.Joshua glanced calmly at a baffled Luna and remarked, "Well, you were the one who asked him to help."With that, he turned and strode out of the room.Luna stared dazedly as Sean carefully lowered Bonnie into the backseat of Joshua's car in the distance.Even though it seemed a little unfair to Jim, for some reason…she could not help thinking that these two would make an ado
The four of them returned to Joshua's house together.Joshua had already informed Lucas of their impending arrival on their way home, so as soon as the car pulled to a halt, Sean was brought into the backyard by Lucas.Dr. Laura Suess was also standing at the door, waiting for them alongside Lucas."Ms. Craig." As soon as the car stopped, Dr. Laura strode over and approached Bonnie, smiling. "How are you feeling now?"Bonnie glanced at her, frowning, and nodded in reply. "I'm doing okay."With that, she opened the door and tried to get out of the car.Luna quickly grabbed hold of Bonnie's arm to help her down, while an observant Dr. Laura caught hold of Bonnie's other arm.As the three women entered the door, Dr. Laura kept inquiring about Bonnie's condition with a concerned tone, appearing to be a very considerate and professional doctor.However, for some reason, Luna felt a hint of hostility directed toward her. From the moment she stepped foot on the ground, she could feel
When Dr. Laura Suess came out of Bonnie's room, Joshua was talking on the phone in the living room.The members of his company's higher management were reporting on the outcome of the tactics they had employed against Landry Group that afternoon."Alright, that's enough now. Just keep me updated if there are any changes. Thanks for your work, everyone."Every single syllable of Joshua's low, melodic voice hammered against Dr. Laura's thumping heart.She could not resist handsome, successful, independent men like this, much less one that possessed such an angelic voice.Truth be told, Joshua had caught her eye ever since he arrived in Merchant City.At that time, her colleagues at the hospital would pore over the daily news and gossip about how handsome, rich, and attractive this newcomer Joshua Lynch was.Every time her colleagues brought up the topic of Joshua, Dr. Laura would pretend as though she could not hear them.However, she still could not help searching for Joshua's n
When Joshua went upstairs, Luna was sitting on a chair in his room, deep in her thoughts.On the table before her laid two almost identical jade rings.These rings were supposed to be a pair, and even though they were equal in size, the pattern on the stones themselves were slightly different yet still matched.There was something Luna could not understand when she saw these rings.Before obtaining these two rings, she thought that the rings were a pair that was supposed to be worn by a couple.As she finally obtained them and inspected them, however, she suddenly realized that they were identical in size, and judging from the size, it was supposed to be worn by two men, which baffled Luna.Why would Lucy customize two men's rings in the first place? Who had she intended to give these rings to?Just as Luna was puzzling over this, she heard the room door open.Joshua entered the room.Luna glanced at him, frowning, and silently tucked the rings away. Then, she lifted her head
"Besides, I can visit Father and Mother, too."Joshua could not help sighing when he heard this. "The last time we saw your parents, we thought they'd recover much quicker…"Luna, too, could not help letting out a sigh of disappointment upon hearing this.She, too, thought that Charles and Rosalyn would be able to recover soon, and even Dr. Liddell had told her the same thing.However…The night before, Luna heard from Dr. Liddell that something had happened to hinder Charles and Rosalyn's progress.There was a nurse who liked playing the news station on the radio whenever she looked after them.For some reason, that day, the local radio station started playing news about Merchant City, and Charles and Rosalyn both found out about Jim's sudden change in temperament and the subsequent conflict that happened between him and Luna.Rosalyn's condition began to deteriorate, and Charles' lucid intervals grew less and less frequent…All of their previous signs of getting better had d
