Luna slept for a long time. She seemed to be unable to wake up from her dream.

She dreamt that she was dragged down from the car by someone while being unconscious.

She could not open her eyes, but she could feel that her legs were being dragged on the ground. They were bleeding and they hurt a lot.

The sound of men talking rang out in her ears. She could not hear what they were saying but she clearly heard things like raping then killing.

She wanted to open her eyes, but could not no matter what.

In the end, she woke up by cold water being splashed on her.

She opened her eyes and realized that everything was not an illusion nor a dream.

At that moment, she was in an abandoned factory. The air smelled of rust, gas, and mold.

Her hands and legs were being tied up by a rope. She was tied onto a chair and could not move.

The lighting in the factory was dim.

A few burly men stood in front of her, sneering at her.

Behind them, a middle-aged man was sitting arrogantly on a chair.

    Theo has not been in contact with her since that morning.Joshua…Even at that moment, she was still thinking about Joshua.He would not even know about this. Also, even if he knew, he would not save her.At that thought, tears fell uncontrollably.She did not want to die. At least, not before finding a cure for Nigel. She did not want to die! However, what could she do at that moment? Liam was repaying a favor. He did not want money. What else could she use to bargain with him?There was nothing.Luna helplessly closed her eyes. Perhaps, this was fated…Bang! Just when the men were about to touch Luna with their dirty hands, a loud sound came from the outside of the abandoned factory.Liam suddenly stood up.“Everyone, stop!”The men immediately stopped what they were doing. “Boss, what is it?”“That sound… something is not right!”Liam furrowed his brows. He wanted to say something else when a black Hummer crashed into the abandoned factory.The driver was no othe

    The abandoned factor was in total chaos.Luke was getting his men to tie Liam up while he turned around to look at Joshua who was carrying Luna.Joshua’s tall figure headed toward the entrance of the factory slowly.Luke furrowed his brows. “Joshua, are you just leaving like that?”Joshua stopped in his tracks. “Is there anything else?”“Say,” Luke laughed a little. He lit a cigarette in his mouth and said in a thuggish manner, “You did me a huge favor by letting me capture Liam. Aren’t you going to ask me for anything else?”“No need.” Joshua took a deep breath. He lowered his head and looked at Luna, who was shivering in his arms. “I came here just for her.”Then, he continued heading toward the exit.Seeing him leaving, Luke took a deep puff of the cigarette. He turned to look at one of his men next to him. “He said just now that she is his employee, right?”His men nodded. “Yes.”“He has a wife?”“Yes, they have been married for many years.”“Tsk.” Luke exhaled a ring o

    “I was afraid that Luna might have any hidden injuries.”The doctor sighed at Alice’s words, “I truly did a thorough check. She only has these injuries, but…”The doctor touched his chin. “It’s quite strange that the cruel Liam would only hurt her this much.”Alice nodded. “Hmm, I find it strange too.”Liam had already kidnapped Luna for such a long time, how was she only injured like that? According to his usual efficiency, by the time Joshua got his men over, Luna should be dead.Alice was in a good mood at the thought of Luna’s death, that was why she deliberately dressed up and rushed over.She was expecting to see a dead body. Who would have thought…Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Joshua’s expressions relaxed a little.He calmly glanced at Luna, who was still under an IV drip. Then, he looked at the time.“It’s almost one-thirty in the morning. Alice, go back and rest first. I’ll stay here to look after her. We’ll head back to Banyan City first thing in the morning.”

    Luna slept through the entire night.In her dreams, she dreamt that she was humiliated by many men. She dreamt that her dead body was disposed of in the wilderness.She dreamt that Joshua and Alice drove over her dead body and happily returned to Banyan City.She woke up from her nightmare screaming in fear.“Did you have a nightmare?”When she came to her senses, Theo’s voice rang out gently in her ears.Luna opened her eyes. She was in a foreign environment. White walls and beds and it smelled of disinfectant.She rubbed the middle of her brows and got up from the bed. “I’m at…”“The hospital,” Theo replied while pouring her some water. “You were attacked and kidnapped last night. Later on, you were rescued and sent to the hospital.”Then, he passed Luna a glass of warm water. “Do you remember anything?”Luna accepted the glass of water. She thought for a while. “A little bit.”Last night…After sending Gwen back home, she fell asleep in the taxi.Later on…She subconsc

    “But I don’t think he would do that. Doing that would make you a target. If he missed, you might die in the hands of Liam.”Luna laughed self-deprecatingly, “Even if I die in the hands of Liam, he won’t care.”Theo was once again silent for a moment.“I think Joshua cares for you more than you think.”At least, when he saw Joshua and Alice bickering over who to stay back to take care of Luna, Theo saw sincere concern in Joshua’s eyes.“That’s because you don’t understand him.”Luna turned to look out of the window. Her voice sounded far away, “He never once cared if I lived or died.”Before breakfast, Theo got the doctor to do a routine check-up on Luna.Once they made sure that Luna was alright, Theo brought her to have some breakfast before sending her back to the hotel.When they reached the hotel, they bumped into Lucas.“Luna, I was just about to look for you,” Lucas smiled and said, “Mr. Lynch said the work here is done for now. He wants you to pack up. We’ll leave for

    When Luna rushed to the hospital, Gwen was still in the emergency room.Outside the emergency room was Andy with a tear-streaked face and Luke with a cold expression.Ben, the person who ought to be there the most, did not even appear.Coming out of the elevator, Luna rushed over manically. “Uncle Andy, is Gwen alright?”Andy grabbed her hand and only cried. He was sobbing so hard he could not say anything.“My men rescued her.”Luke furrowed his brows and glanced at Luna. He was busy taking Liam down at the abandoned factory the night before, he only had a hurried glance at Luna, not noticing her looks.Looking at her in person at that moment, he realized that this woman indeed had what it took to make a man fall head over heels for her.Luna bit her lips. She immediately let go of Andy’s hands. She lifted her head and looked at Luke. “How is Gwennie?”“Not too good.” Luke frowned a little. “This morning my men found out that a bunch of Liam’s cronies went to the Walter mansi

    Seeing how no one responded, Alice got even bolder.She furrowed her brows and looked at Andy. “Uncle Andy, where is Ben?”Andy lifted his head. He looked at her. His lips quivered but he could not find his words.Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Alice. His voice was cold. “Alice, stop talking.”Only then did Alice exercise a little restraint. “I’m only concerned. After all, such a huge thing happened to Gwen, it’s not right that Ben is not here.”Luna leaned back on the chair. Her mind kept replaying the scene where she was drinking with Gwen the night before.From the beginning, Luna was the one that offended the Walter family. She was the one who made Hailey jump off the building and the one who aggravated Old Mr. Walter.Why did they want to do that to Gwen then? Gwen did not even do anything.She did not even mention the Walter family’s name during the press conference.Even if she was Gwen’s friend, they did not have to capture her and treat her that way, right?

    Looking at the divorce papers, Gwen was instantly stunned.Luna could not help it but she was infuriated. “Ben, what do you mean by this? Gwen had just gone through such an unfortunate incident. Now is the time where she needs you the most. What are you doing?”Ben’s eyes were flat. “Isn’t it obvious enough?”He swept Luna a cold glance, then he looked at Gwen. “I’m a traditional man. When she was rescued by others, other men had already slept with her. Don’t tell me that you don’t know this? Also, there was more than one man!”Ben gritted his teeth. “Thankfully I have never brought Gwen back to see my parents. If not, I will never be able to live with my head held up high!”Then, he glared at Gwen coldly. “Sign them!”Luna was so furious her breathing rhythm was in a mess.She clenched her fists tightly. “Ben Zeller, how can you be so heartless!”“I’m heartless?” Ben sneered. He swept Luna a cold glance. “You should ask this yourself! If Gwen had never become friends with you,

    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. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    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
