Instantly, Luna told Gwen her location when she found out Gwen had new information.A while later, both ladies finally met. Gwen wore a long white dress with her hair down. She looked beautiful, like a fragile porcelain doll.Luna subconsciously looked behind Gwen when she realized she came alone. "Luke let you come out by yourself?""He went to look for Joshua." Gwen shrugged and pointed at the window on the second floor of the hospital. "There."Luna looked over in the direction she was pointing, and there she saw Luke and Joshua, dressed in all black and was standing beside Luke. It seemed like both of them were discussing something.Luke leaned on the rail with one hand and tilted his head to look at Joshua while saying something. Meanwhile, Joshua leaned on his hands placed on the rail and gazed right at Luna. When he saw Luna looking at him, he even smiled and waved to greet her.Luna, on the other hand, did not seem too happy to see Joshua. She remembered how Joshua refute
"Soon after, we found out that Nikki had been lying to us all along and that Terry was misunderstood."Because of this, Luke felt guilty that he acted out of impulse instead of trying to understand what truly happened first, so he sent some of his men to Terry's house with a doctor, hoping they'd be able to salvage the situation before it was too late."However, when they got there, they ran into Sean, who was kicked out of Terry's house. He even had a gift with him, as though he was there to apologize."Luna pursed her lips and glanced dubiously at Gwen. "Well… What time did Luke's men visit Terry?"Gwen shrugged. "Don't you know the answer to this? Gangsters always work at night, so I'm sure they must've gone around midnight."One of Luke's men recognized Sean and guessed that he was probably there to apologize, so they dragged him into the house alongside them."First, he apologized to Terry's family, then tried to explain to them that he had also been tricked by Nikki. The do
In the orthopedics department of a hospital in Merchant City."Mr. Landry, according to the x-ray, the laceration on your brother's hand is extremely deep and has penetrated down to the bone. If you look here, you'll see a jagged edge of the wound…"My suggestion is to let him undergo surgery immediately, and hopefully, he'll be able to recover soon."…A twinge of pain shot through Jim's heart as he listened to the doctor's explanation, clutching the x-ray film of Sean's hands. "Will he be able to regain the function of his hands after the surgery? Well, I mean…"He fell silent for a moment before finally finishing his sentence. "Will he be able to use his hands for work again?"The doctor paused for a moment, then asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Landry, may I know what your brother works as?"Jim furrowed his brows, glancing at the x-ray in his hand. "He's a driver and car mechanic."A glimmer of surprise flashed through the doctor's eyes. "Pardon me, Mr. Landry. Your brother is
"Christopher is an outstanding alchemist and has managed to come up with antidotes to all of the poisons my mother has formulated. The two of them have always worked together this way; one to poison and one to cure."Jim closed his eyes and let out a bitter chuckle. "I was so focused on getting Christopher to come to help me that I forgot I had failed to protect two of the most important women in his life. Perhaps this is God's way of punishing me…and I deserve this."I never dared to face my feelings toward Bonnie when she was alright, and it took her getting into a fatal accident for me to realize my true feelings."I just don't understand. If God wanted to punish me, why did he inflict this suffering on Bonnie and not me…"Leaning against the headboard and watching the remorseful look on Jim's face, Sean could not help feeling a little bitter himself.He suddenly recalled what Joshua had told him that morning.Perhaps Joshua was right; perhaps Jim was the only one who could ha
Jim did not see the sly look in Luna's eyes.Instead, he furrowed his brows and stared at Luna in puzzlement, suddenly realizing that he did not understand her.Even though he had lost his memories of their siblinghood over the past year, he had never once thought of her as a harsh, unkind person.However, every word coming out of her mouth was nothing but false accusations of Sean's integrity.Sean was injured, for God's sake!According to the doctor, he would have lost his hands if they did not perform emergency surgery on him instantly.Jim could not believe Luna would say things like this about an injured patient! Where was her conscience?Seeing that Jim did not react to her words at all, Luna bit her lip and glanced at the fire escape door out of the corner of her eye.The person standing there did not move even an inch.It seemed that she would have to take it up a notch."Jim!" Luna sighed and raised her voice in indignation. "You have to see through Sean's tricks! He
Luna stared dazedly at the determined look on Jim's face. "Jim."She sniffed and said solemnly, "You claim that you won't believe anything I say without evidence, but did you do the same when questioning Bonnie in the past?"She was curious to know the answer.Jim's expression darkened upon hearing this.Anger flashed through his eyes as he stared at Luna. "Why are you bringing up Bonnie all of a sudden? Are you just trying to distract me from the fact that you don't have any evidence against Sean? I never thought you'd stoop so low, Luna!"His steely gaze was fixated on Luna's face as he grew angrier. "There's no way to explain everything between Bonnie and me to an outsider! Besides, if you care so much about Bonnie, you shouldn't even be doubting Sean at all; he's the one who saved her life before!"You claim that Sean is manipulating us, but let me ask you this: do you think he was trying to manipulate the situation to his benefit by saving Bonnie in her time of need? Was he
"You're right; that is Mickey." Joshua glanced first at Jim, then at the phone.There was a message from Lucas, received a second ago.[We've cleared the entire floor, and Mickey has already left the hospital. I'm still following him.]Joshua narrowed his eyes at the sight of this, then lifted his head to stare at Jim's baffled face. "Mickey and Butler Fred are trying to drive a wedge between the two of you."To be specific, they're trying to turn you, Luna, and Sean against each other."Jim's mouth dropped open in shock, but not a single word came out.He stared dazedly at Joshua and Luna, but the confusion in his eyes only grew deeper. "What do you mean?"Why was Mickey eavesdropping on their argument?Why would Joshua say that Mickey and Butler Fred were trying to drive a wedge between the three of them?"Let me explain." Seeing how perplexed Jim was, Luna let out a sigh and plopped down on the bench, then told him everything, including her and Joshua's visit to Christopher
Jim lifted his head to stare at Joshua, his eyes dull and lackluster. "Why else would Mother do this, then?"He could not think of any reason to justify Rosalyn stopping Christopher from returning to help Bonnie."Perhaps she wasn't trying to stop Christopher from flying back to help at all, but just trying to prevent him from coming back during a time like this. After all, she knows better than anyone what condition Christopher is in…"She didn't want Christopher to return because she knew that if he saw the state Bonnie and June were in, it'd trigger a psychotic episode, and he'd blame everything on you."Rosalyn was just concerned about you and Bonnie, and she wanted nothing more than for you to have a happy, smooth wedding ceremony. This was why she chose not to disclose this to Christopher and even instructed him not to return home."Joshua's words made the glimmer in Jim's eyes return. He stared dazedly at Joshua and asked, "Are you… Do you think that's what happened?""Of
