Luna and Laura both stilled when they heard Joshua's voice. The color had drained from Laura's face. She pursed her lips slightly and glanced first at Joshua, then at Luna. "I…I said that I wanted to compete with Ms. Luna…for…""Compete for my affection?" Joshua strode into the room, sneering, and reached Luna's side. Then, he reached out and pulled her to his form. "Dr. Suess, Lucas was the one who persuaded me to employ you as the family doctor."Initially, I had wanted to find a male doctor, but since Lucas has worked for me for so many years now, I trust his instincts, so I didn't object when he recommended you."From the moment you stepped into my house, I knew you weren't content with our relationship as employer and family doctor, and because of this, I had deliberately been keeping my distance from you."He curled his lips into a smirk and glanced coldly at Laura. "I just never thought that you'd one day have the audacity to even challenge my wife so brazenly."He lowere
Laura, on the other hand, was a successful woman.She thought that the higher she climbed the career ladder, the more men would notice her.However, when she met Joshua, she discovered that this was not the case at all.No matter how outstanding her performance was, Joshua had never given her even a second glance.Not only Joshua, but his friend, Jim, and even the artist Theo; none of them even expressed interest in her before.Laura could not help doubting herself and hating this unfair world.Why was it that successful women did not deserve to be fancied? Why, on the other hand, were beautiful women with no brains like Luna and Bonnie so popular among men?"Dr. Suess." Luna smiled and fixated her gaze on Laura. "I know you must be angry at the world for being so unfair, and you're frustrated because you don't think you received anything in return for your hard work. Am I right?"An elegant smile crept across Luna's face as she continued, "Well, there's one thing I'd like you
Laura's face broke out into a triumphant grin at Luna's question. "Are you scared, Luna? It's true; you're not obliged to prove anything to me. What difference does it make, anyway? Whether you prove it or not, you're still a useless bimbo who relies on men to live her life."The only thing that makes you better than me is your pretty face."With that, she yawned and lifted her head to glance at Joshua. "Even though today will be my last day of work, I still have to go upstairs to check on June."She remembered, despite everything, that she came as a doctor first.As soon as she finished her sentence, she turned and went up the stairs.However, after taking just a few steps, Laura paused and added, "I thought you'd at least have some guts to stop me and prove me wrong, Luna, but I guess I overestimated you."Then, she continued up the stairs.Luna remained motionless and curled her lips into a smirk as she watched Laura leave. "Your reverse psychology doesn't work on me."She c
Luna could not understand why Joshua had to hide from her while taking his call.They had been husband and wife for so many years; what did he have to hide from her?After God knew how long, Joshua returned.He strode over to Luna and said, "Go upstairs and get changed and do your makeup; I'm going to bring you to the hospital."Luna immediately furrowed her brows upon hearing this. "Get changed and do my makeup…to go to the hospital?"Why did she have to dress up?Why were they headed to the hospital?Joshua could not help smiling when he heard this. He reached out to gently stroke Luna's cheek and replied, "Things have gone ahead of schedule, just trust me. Go do your makeup and put on your best dress. I'm bringing you to see someone important."Luna could not help frowning in confusion upon hearing this.She bit her lip and shot Joshua a helpless glance.She had wanted to ask him more, but in the end, she swallowed her questions.After all, she would be able to find out s
Luna could not help feeling that Caleb was acting a little strange, but at the same time, she could not tell what was wrong.At the same time, Joshua called her name, so Luna followed Joshua into the hospital after bidding Caleb a quick farewell.Caleb could not help curling his lips into a small smile as he watched Joshua and Luna enter the hospital.He had already known since the moment he met Joshua and Luna that these two would eventually end up together, but he was surprised by how fast the day had come."Who are we here to visit?" Luna asked in a low voice as she followed Joshua.There was a hint of a smile in Joshua's tone as he led her past the hallways, hand-in-hand. "We're visiting the woman I was on the phone with."Luna's body stiffened slightly when she heard this.She bit her lip and shot Joshua a nervous glance. "Who…is she?"She had not even brought up anything about that woman yet, and all of a sudden, Joshua brought her over to introduce them.Luna could not
There was a hint of excitement in Rosalyn's voice as she hugged Luna's trembling body. "I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't tell you about it when I first woke up."It was only after Dr. Liddell checked me to make sure I'm fine and also after I helped Christopher control his mental state, I rushed back here to Merchant City."She cupped Luna's tear-stained face and said, "You're not mad at me, are you?"Luna shook her head furiously as tears continued to pour down her face. "Of course I'm not."Why would she?After being in a coma for more than a year, the first thing Luna wanted to do was spend time with her mother, so how could she possibly stay mad at Rosalyn?"Thank you for understanding." Rosalyn let out a sigh and continued hugging Luna for a long time before finally bringing up Joshua. "Joshua is a good man."As she held Luna's hand, she gently spoke, "Your father has filled me in on what happened during this past year."I know that you thought Joshua was the one who
Luna's heart leaped into her throat.She bit her lip and stared nervously at Rosalyn's pale face. "But… But, what?"Luna's face was etched with despair, worried that Rosalyn would reveal some truth about Joshua's involvement in her demise.Rosalyn could tell exactly what Luna was thinking. She let out a sigh and reached out to hold Luna's hand gently. "Don't be nervous; what I was trying to say is that…"She sighed. "Even though Joshua has never done anything to hurt me before, that doesn't apply to me."She stared earnestly at Luna and said in a soft voice, "No matter how much we try to ignore the truth, the reason Joshua's grandmother passed away…was because of the drug I invented."Luna immediately relaxed when she heard this.She fell silent for a moment before finally lifting her head to gaze at Rosalyn and asked the question that had been stuck in her throat for a long time, "Mother…can you tell me…were you involved in Granny Lynch's death?"Luna's nails dug into her palm
However…Luna contemplated this for a long time before finally meeting Rosalyn's gaze. "I'm not in a rush. The least we have to do is wait until we find Sirius so that we can find out the truth about what happened in the past, then find our lost child. It's only after we take care of these that we'll consider marriage."Rosalyn could not help sighing when she heard this. "Actually, this is another reason why I rushed back to Merchant City. I wanted to talk to you about Sirius."She lifted her head to glance at Luna. "Ask Joshua to come in too."A few days ago, when she had gotten in touch with Joshua, he had already asked her multiple times about Sirius's whereabouts.At that time, Rosalyn did not know what Joshua had in mind, so she did not reveal any information to him at all.However, since Luna mentioned that Sirius had played a role in the Lynch and Landry families' vengeance, she could not keep anything from them anymore.Luna nodded and opened the door.Outside the room,
