What was Joshua’s new excuse?

He was not drunk.

He was well aware the entire time that she was Luna and not Luna Gibson.

However…

Ding, dong! The doorbell abruptly rang.

Accompanied by the doorbell was Theo’s concerned voice. “How are you? Are you feeling better? I brought you some breakfast. Come and have some.”

Theo still remembered how Luna felt depressed due to Nellie’s call.

“Luna?”

Joshua furrowed his brows. He was about to get up and open the door, but Luna held him back.

“Don’t embarrass me! It might not be embarrassing for you, but it is for me!”

She bit her lip and pushed Joshua into the bedroom.

“If you dare come out, I’ll immediately publicize the footage of Alice at the art gallery!”

Luna then closed the bedroom door. She also placed Joshua’s shoes behind her luggage.

With all that done, Luna took a deep breath and opened the door.

“You’re up?” Theo chuckled gently. He entered the room.

Luna could not stop him in time. She could only follow him sheepishly.

    “Put that down!”Just when Joshua was staring at the photo album in a daze, he suddenly heard a woman’s voice from behind him.The next second, Luna immediately rushed forward and snatched the photo album from Joshua’s arms. “Who gave you the permission to touch my things?!”This photo album was a birthday gift from Nigel. He spent his days in the hospital ever since they found out he had leukemia.Although Nigel was young, he was aware of life and death. He was afraid that he might die one day and that Luna might miss him, so he secretly made this photo album for her.“There are no photos where Neil and I are together in this album. If I were to die one day, treat me and Neil as the same person.”Nigel’s words back then still rang in her ears.Seeing how nervous she looked, Joshua furrowed his brows. “Neil has had a serious illness?”“No.” Luna turned around and carefully kept the album away. “Only the small flu.”“He stayed in the hospital for a few months because of the sma

    The only other person Luna showed the video to was Nigel.Nigel was a mature kid, and he would not have simply posted the video. Other than him, there was no one else.“I’ll give you a day to properly think of it. Best if you could give me a list of those who’d be able to obtain the footage. I want to investigate them one by one.”Luna felt that it was strange. “If you think that the news is bad, why don’t you just block it?”Joshua looked at her coldly. “This footage will affect Alice. I have to check the source of it and prevent that person from posting it again, so Alice doesn’t have to suffer.”Luna found it comical at his pretense of caring for Alice.He slept with her the night before, yet he could worry about Alice on her bed at that moment, thinking of how to settle problems on Alice’s behalf.What a great man.Suddenly, the doorbell rang once more.Theo’s clear and gentle voice came through. “Luna, are you ready? We should go.”“Coming,” Luna simply responded before

    “Luna.”After saying goodbye to Theo, Luna just entered Lynch Group Tower when someone stopped her. It was no other than the person who shared the exact face as her previous self, Mrs. Lynch.The lobby of the office was filled with people.Due to the news the day before, plus the incident of the video that day, everyone in the office seemed to know about Luna and Alice.Everyone was on stake-out. Some peeped in secret, while some were bolder that they immediately took their phone out and started filming.Luna disliked the feeling of being placed under the spotlight.She furrowed her brows and looked at Alice coldly. “Just say what you want to say.”Thud! Alice immediately knelt in front of Luna without any warning, and gasps echoed in the entire lobby.Alice was also Joshua’s wife, no less! The boss’ wife knelt before Luna, a mere staff of the office! Luna took a step back and rubbed the middle of her brows. What she said in the car previously was right—Alice was a stra

    Luna lowered her gaze and looked at Alice on the floor. “What great acting you have, Mrs. Lynch.”Alice lifted her head and looked at Luna with tears in her eyes. “You’re still not willing to forgive me, is it?”“She just pushed you! It was only a painting!”“Her husband even paid for the painting, and it’s not your money. Why can’t you forgive her?”“Also, which ordinary woman would work with another husband so late into the night? Who are you lying to?”“The legitimate wife was merely teaching the mistress a lesson. Now that the wife is begging for forgiveness, the mistress refused to forgive her? What kind of world is this?” “Before Mrs. Lynch came back to the country, didn’t they announce their relationship? I’m sure they hooked up before then.” Alice turned to look at the crowd who was bad-mouthing Joshua with teary eyes. “Don’t you dare talk nonsense. My husband treats me well. I know clearly how much he loves me. He just got carried away for a moment.” Standing in t

    Central Hospital.Nellie sat on a bench and swung her legs as she sucked on a lollipop.She looked through the glass window with her huge black eyes. Joshua was struggling to pin a young child down to let the doctor take blood.“Uncle Lucas, is Daddy in a bad mood today?”It was the weekend. Nellie and Neil finally did not need to go to kindergarten. They planned to sleep in, but Joshua rushed into their rooms early in the morning and dragged them to the hospital for a body checkup.That went especially for Neil.He went through more tests than she did. Lucas did not know how to explain to Nellie. He could only wipe off his sweat. “Uh…perhaps President Lynch thinks that it's time for both of you to have a body checkup…”In truth, Lucas also did not know what Joshua was up to.When he arrived at Lynch Group that morning, he saw Alice gathering with a few other men by the entrance, talking among themselves.Lucas thought that Alice was checking up on him. After all, Joshua was

    Neil immediately deleted the photo.Although he looked exactly like Nigel, there were subtle differences if one were to look closely.Joshua was a meticulous person, and Neil feared he might notice them. After deleting the photo, he returned the phone to Joshua. “What other tests are there? Let me do them, but you can’t disturb us anymore for the rest of the day.” Joshua furrowed his brows. “Why are you suddenly so cooperative?’Neil put up great resistance ever since he brought them to the hospital. Otherwise, Joshua would not have had to keep a close eye on them.Who knew Neil would turn so obedient after looking at the photo?Neil rolled his eyes. “I thought that you were afraid that we weren’t sick, so you hoped for us to die earlier. After seeing the photo, I now know that you’re concerned for me. I’ll reluctantly cooperate then.”Then, Neil ignored Joshua and rolled up his sleeves, letting the nurse take his blood.At the sight of him finally cooperating, Joshua let ou

    Joshua put the phone down and took his phone out to call Alice.The moment the call got through, a familiar ring tone came from the entrance of the elevator at the end of the corridor.Joshua subconsciously turned to look.A tear-streaked Alice looked panicked as she rushed over frantically. “Is Neil and Nellie alright? Why did they have to come for a body checkup?”Seeing Alice’s tear-streaked and worried look, a layer of detest washed over Joshua.When he went back home to pick up Neil and Nellie, he even deliberately asked Lily whether Alice knew that the kids suffered the night before.“After you left last night, Mrs. Lynch entered the room and never came out again. This morning, once she got up, she headed straight down for breakfast and left straight away.”Lily’s voice still rang in Joshua’s ears. “After making Neil and Nellie drink milk, she never stepped foot in the children’s room anymore.”Joshua looked at Alice walking over with teary eyes, and he suddenly felt mise

    “The report is here with me. Should I still lie to myself about you?”Alice’s face grew pale as she listened to Joshua’s words. In the end, her face lost all of its colors.She clutched onto the report as she gnawed on her lip.She got someone to confiscate all of the electronic equipment in the children’s rooms the night before she forced them to drink ten bottles of milk.She wanted to discipline them for disobeying her.From what she knew, drinking milk would not kill someone. At most, they would be too bloated to move, but that was it.Without any recording device, she could retort by saying that the two of them disliked her, so they colluded to accuse her.However, she did not expect that six-year-old children’s stomachs would be so weak. Drinking too much milk would leave signs of harm on their body! Alice clutched the report and was silent for a very long time.After a while, she looked up at Joshua’s face and broke out into loud sobs. “Joshua, let me explain…” She w

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more.

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
