Meanwhile, Joshua was typing a message to Lucas, a small frown present on his face as he did.He looked up and smiled gently at Luna. "Go. Shopping may help you feel better."Luna nodded. Just as she was about to go upstairs to change her clothes, Joshua called out from behind her, "You have Yannie's number, don't you? Can you give it to me? I need to look for her."Luna paused in her tracks, frowning as she turned to look at Joshua. "You don't have Yannie's number?"Who was Joshua Lynch? The man who had Merchant City under his control. If he wanted to know Yannie's number, Lucas could easily get it within minutes. He did not need to ask her at all."Lucas is quite busy." Joshua curled his lips, his deep, dark eyes seemingly smiling. "Plus, here I am, telling you that I need to look for Yannie."Luna was at a loss for words as she glanced at Joshua helplessly. "Why do you need to tell me? I'm not going to overthink anything."She had nothing to worry about, whether it was with J
Stunned by Joshua's request, Yannie stared at Joshua in disbelief. "Mr. Lynch, are you…serious?"That morning, Luna had just told her to keep her distance from Thomas, and she refused it. All of a sudden, Joshua wanted her to get close to Thomas?"Yes. After much consideration, you're the perfect person to do it," replied Joshua.Joshua had seen how Yannie blatantly crossed Thomas in the morning. Thomas even took the initiative to suggest having more contact with Yannie in the future while making them promise that Yannie had to be around when he discussed business matters with Luna.Yannie would have ample time and reason to get close to Thomas. Moreover, Thomas would loosen his guard on her because Yannie hated him. It would not cross Thomas' mind that Yannie wanted to be close to him because of another reason.Thus, Yannie was the best choice.Joshua stood up and took out a black card, placing it on the coffee table. "This card has seventy-four thousand dollars in it. This is t
Although Joshua was willing to spend 148000 dollars to have Yannie collect Thomas' hair and fingernail, the job attached to it was not as easy as it sounded.Nonetheless, earning that sum would take a toll on Yannie, even if she worked her ass off. She was more willing to take the risk and earn the money in a shorter period.With that, Yannie took a deep breath and looked at Joshua earnestly. "I'll do my best."She hesitated for a long time before she resolutely took the black card from the coffee table and put it in her pocket. "Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lynch."She turned around and was ready to leave.After just a few steps, however, a question popped into her mind. "Mr. Lynch, I don't know if I'm allowed to ask a question, but I…""You want to know why I want you to retrieve a DNA specimen from Thomas," Joshua gently interjected before Yannie could finish.Yannie nodded. "Yes, I'm quite…curious."Normally speaking, the need to undergo a DNA test was for…"I suspect th
By the time Luna arrived at the shopping mall's entrance, Gwen and Kate were chatting happily about Luke. Kate was interested in everything regarding Luke, while Gwen was not shy to share everything she knew with her.Both of them chatted happily, and from afar, both of them looked like they were best friends who had known each other forever.Only Luna knew that Gwen was not a person who could easily make friends. The only reason Gwen could get so close to Kate and talk with Kate, who had been eyeing Gwen's boyfriend for so long…was mainly because Gwen felt Kate was the best person to replace her to be with Luke upon her future escape.Standing from afar, Luna looked at them and could not tell who was the pitiable one between them.It was then that Gwen spotted Luna."Luna!" She smiled and waved at Luna. "Come on over!"Luna hid her emotions and walked toward them.Since Luna had arrived, Kate, who had been cheerfully chatting away with Gwen, quickly got on her feet and looked a
After a while, Kate yawned and tried to skirt around the question. "No…nothing in particular. I was just saying, that's all."Luna stared at Kate's pale face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gwen's voice from far away."Hey, you two! Don't be lazy. Come and help me look at this!"That was the best excuse for Kate to run away from answering Luna's question. She quickly dashed over. "I'm coming!"Luna furrowed her brows vehemently as she watched Kate walking toward Gwen.…When she returned home at night, she told Joshua about how much she disliked Kate. "I just don't like her. She knows Luke and Gwen are in love with each other, but she refuses to step back."At that time, Joshua was reading an email from his laptop. The email confirmed that the professionals who were going to operate for Luke and Gwen were from a medical organization from another country. The real owner of the medical organization was Kate's family.His eyes glinted as he read the email.It w
Luna's mind was initially filled with feelings of disapproval toward Kate, but as soon as she heard this, she lifted her head in delight. "You found them?""Yes." Joshua curled his lips into a smile and pulled Luna close to him, laying her head gently on his chest. He would always feel reassured by the feeling of her breath brushing against his chest."I've pretty much confirmed their identity, but I still need to wait for the DNA results."I need a little more time to obtain some DNA samples from Riley's parents, but after I get the results, I'll reveal their true identities to you."Luna bit her lip and nodded.To be honest, she wanted Joshua to reveal the identity of Riley's parents to her instantly, but since he had already made up his mind, she would respect his decision.However…She closed her eyes and laid her head against his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart. "Since Riley's parents have been found… What about our child?"She sniffed, and a twinge of
At the thought of this, Joshua let out a huge sigh and pulled Luna closer to him. "What we have to do now is readjust ourselves in time for Bonnie and Jim's wedding."Luna froze when she heard this, then finally nodded. "You're right."Bonnie was going to wake up soon, and all of them had tricked Jim into thinking that they were hosting a wedding in lieu of Bonnie's passing, but the truth was…They had planned it so that Bonnie would wake up during the wedding itself.There were only two more days till the predetermined wedding day.Luna had handed over all her work and tasks over the upcoming two days to Joey while she used this break to help Yannie, Gwen, and the three children organize Bonnie and Jim's wedding.Sometimes, Rosalyn and Charles would join in on the arrangements too.As the stars of the show, Jim and Harvey were both fixated on spending as much time with Bonnie as possible.They were under the impression that she would die any minute and did not want to waste a
Jim lowered his head to glance at Bonnie, who was lying motionless on the bed with her eyes closed, then turned to glance at Harvey, whose face was plastered with a grin. "You… You felt it too?"If this were just a fluke, he and Harvey would not have felt it at the same time, so…Jim's excited gaze fell on Bonnie's face.Even though Rosalyn had told him before that Bonnie would only be able to make it to a week, she mentioned that miracles could happen!Was this a miracle? Was Bonnie waking up?Jim fixated his gaze intently on Bonnie's face in an attempt to find traces of her impending wake from unconsciousness, but…One minute passed, then three.10, which then became 30.Finally, an hour passed.Even until half an hour before the wedding, when Luna, Gwen, and Yannie arrived to help change Bonnie into her wedding dress, there was still no sign of her awakening soon. Bonnie's eyes were closed, and her face expressionless.The hope in Jim's eyes seemed to dissipate by the minu
