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,
Luna bit her lips. She turned to look at Luke.“She’s sad enough, please stop your sarcasm.”Luke snickered, “It’s already not worth it being sad over a scumbag, why should she care about other people’s sarcastic remarks?”Luna furrowed her brows.She was grateful for Luke sending men to rescue Gwen, but Luke’s words were…harsh on the ears.“Luna.” After a while, Gwen said while her eyes still remained shut, “Can all of you please leave, I want to be alone.”Luna bit her lips. “But…”“Please leave,” Gwen chuckled bitterly, “I’m already ashamed and sad enough. Please give me some space to be alone.”Luna took a deep breath. She walked over to Gwen and covered her with the blanket. She said in a soft tone, “I’m sorry.”Then, Luna turned and left the room.Behind her, Gwen started crying again because of Luna’s apology.…Coming out from the patient’s ward, Luna was dispirited.After making sure that Gwen was safe, Joshua took Lucas and left. He said that he had something t
Luna and Alice raised their heads simultaneously.The person who was holding Alice’s hand wasn’t anyone else but Joshua who had left not too long ago.Seeing him here, Alice immediately retracted her hand and dove into his arms, sobbing like a baby, “Joshua, I knew Luna was in a bad mood, so I tried comforting her. But, who knew she would slap me instead!”As she spoke, she pointed to her red and puffy face. “See! I was furious, so I slapped her too, but she still wanted to slap me so I…”Joshua held onto her gingerly, raised his eyes and looked at the palm print on Luna’s face. “I know you’re in a bad mood, but still you can’t go around hurting people.”Luna raised her eyes and looked at him coldly without speaking.Joshua sucked in a deep breath, saying coolly, “I went to the police station just now and took care of everything. The one who kidnapped Gwen is Liam Clark’s subordinate. The Old Mr. Walter is the mastermind, the police have already summoned him for questioning.”He
With that, the man shrugged and approached them. “So, Gwen knows something about the Walter family, doesn’t she?” The moment the words left his mouth, both Luna and Alice paled simultaneously.Alice knew something, but she was not too sure… Meanwhile, Luna was thinking about the ‘love letter’ Gwen gave her last night. She vaguely remembered, last night Liam got her letter, took a photo of it and sent it to someone, then burned the letter.She did not know the contents of the letter.But instinct told her… if the Walter family wanted to kill Gwen to silence her, it must be related to the letter!At this thought, she jumped up as if crazed, then rushed Gwen’s hospital ward and pushed the door open. “Gwen!”She bolted in and grabbed Gwen’s hand. “Do you remember? I gave you a letter last time. Do you remember what was written in the letter?”Gwen looked at her, confused. “What letter?”Luna stiffened immediately.She bit her lip. “We went out drinking last night, you got dru
Luna bit her lip, raised her eyes stubbornly, and looked straight at Joshua. “Why?”Since something like this happened to Gwen, she would still worry even if she went back to Banyan City, it was impossible for her to concentrate on work.Joshua’s gaze remained emotionless. “Even if you want to stay here in Sea City, what can you do for Gwen? Continue to feel guilty and blame yourself, keep reminding her of what happened, so you can both be sad together?”The man’s words made Luna take a step back involuntarily.She stared at him in disbelief, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came forth.Joshua frowned, his voice calm but cold. “Firstly, you can’t take back what has happened to her. The most important thing now is to stop her from seeing the people who are related to this incident, so her mental and physical wounds can start healing. You should know, all of these happened to her because of you. Even if she doesn’t blame you, can you guarantee that s
Even if she turned into someone he did not like at all, he could not abandon and leave her. This was his responsibility as a husband and as a father.But he really did not understand. “I remember, you and Gwen were desk-mates and best friends throughout your three years of high school. When this happened to her, I thought you would have the same reaction as Luna.”Alice paused violently.A second later, she turned and looked at the buttons on the elevator. “We weren’t really friends, just desk-mates. Besides, we never kept in touch after high school. To me, Gwen is just an old classmate I haven’t seen for years.” Joshua narrowed his eyes. “But Gwen even argued with Luna for you.”“That’s because she knew I married well and wanted to heighten her social position,” Alice said lightly, “Later on she realized I don’t care about our ancient friendship and immediately became friends with Luna. Just days ago she was arguing with her, calling her a mistress, and now they’ve become fast
