The doctor nodded, then glanced at Luna. “What about your baby? Are you sure you don’t want to abort it as well?”Luna shook her head. “This baby is the most precious thing in the world to me now.”As soon as she said this, Luna suddenly felt the entire room grow silent, so silent that it felt a little spine-tingling. She glanced in the direction of the door and realized that Joshua was standing there, staring at her with a cold expression, a contemptuous smirk playing on his lips.Luna recalled what he had told her last night and immediately lowered her head in shame, unsure what to say next.The doctor wheeled Gwen into the operation theater while Luke waited outside in a corner, clutching a bouquet of white lilies. It was strange to see a ruffian like Luke holding a bouquet of fresh, white flowers in his hand.Nonetheless, Luna still felt her heart soften at the sight. Gwen was a lucky girl. Even though she was with a scumbag like Ben and experienced heartbreak in the past,
Luna was so shocked by this that she almost dropped her phone. She asked, her entire body trembling, “So now you…”“We’ve split up.” Theo’s voice sounded slightly hoarse through the phone. “Zach and Yuri have left with Nellie, and Neil and I are still here, but we’re pretending as if nothing has happened to stall them. My father will send some people over to meet up with us in a while, and we’ll all leave together.”He sighed and continued, “You don’t have to worry about us. I was afraid that if both Neil and Nellie left together, it’d attract their attention. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked Neil to stay here with me. They’re after the children, not me, so I’m sure they won’t try to harm me. I just wanted to give you a heads up.”“Alice is already coming after us without any regard for consequences, so I was worried that you might be in danger, too.” Luna gripped her phone tightly and tried to suppress the panic in her heart. “I’m fine. I’ve already bought my tickets, and Gwen ha
“If Gwen can abort her baby and be with Luke, then you can do the same. You can abort Theo’s baby and be with me.”Luna clenched her fists in anger and stared at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, I’ve made myself very clear. I don’t like it when you talk about my child like this. Even if you think you’re joking, it’s not funny at all.”Joshua raised his eyebrows at her. “What if I’m not joking?”Luna sucked in a deep breath and said, “Joshua, aren’t you being too self-centered right now? Gwen wanted to undergo her abortion because she didn’t want to have Ben’s baby. She decided to marry Luke because deep down in her heart, she genuinely returned his love.“Why would I get rid of Theo’s baby and be with you instead? Do you somehow think I’m in love with you?”Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and answered impassively, “Aren’t you?”“I’m not!” Luna let out an exhale and glanced at the time. She had only three more hours until her flight. “Joshua Lynch, let me tell you this now: I don’t like yo
Luna glared at Joshua and could no longer suppress her rage. “How dare you!”“That’s enough. Stop messing with her.” Luke glanced at Joshua and added, “The reason I came over is to tell you that Alice is here. She’s standing outside Gwen’s ward, demanding to see you. She made so much racket that she woke Gwen up. Please go take care of this.”Joshua furrowed his brows in irritation. “Alright.” With that, he let go of Luna and strode out of the stairwell.The two people watched as Joshua’s retreating figure disappeared from view. Then, Luke shrugged and tucked his hands in his pockets, glancing at Luna simultaneously. “He’s really in love with you. Last night, when he found out you were pregnant with another man’s child, he was so upset that he came to find me and spent the whole night drinking.“As for what he said about the abortion… He’s just saying it out of spite. Why are you taking him so seriously? He’s not that cruel and heartless.” Luna scoffed and retorted coldly, “That’
Luna was starting to feel anxious.She exhaled and tried to dial both Theo and Nigel again, but none of them picked up their phones. Finally, Luna had no choice but to call Malcolm instead.“Hello?” Malcolm’s voice rang out through the phone, sounding a little weary.Luna frowned. “Malcolm, Nigel…”“Nigel’s getting emergency surgery,” Malcolm’s voice sounded exhausted. “Luna, I can’t do this anymore. Nigel…can’t do this anymore.”Luna’s eyes widened when she heard this. “What… What do you mean?”Malcolm let out a sigh. Every syllable he uttered after that felt like they were pounding against Luna’s chest, “Nigel’s condition has been worsening for the past two months. He told me not to let you know, and he also ordered the doctor to lie to you, saying he was getting better… Didn’t you notice he was contacting you less and less now?”Luna almost dropped her phone.Malcolm was right. Nigel did contact her less frequently than before, but he told her that he had learned a new typ
Luna stared at Jason’s face in shock. “Are you saying…that Joshua sent you here…?” she uttered through clenched teeth.“Of course.” Jason kneeled and stared back at her impassively. “If not for Mr. Lynch, how did Luke’s men manage to spike your drink with abortion pills? If not for Mr. Lynch, would I even be standing here in front of you?”Luna clung onto the hem of her shirt tightly, partly out of weakness due to blood loss and partly out of despair. “How dare he… Did he know…”“Mr. Lynch knows the baby belongs to him, so he asked us to get rid of the baby. He said that if you want to leave Sea City, it’s fine, but not with his child.” Jason’s words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into Luna’s heart and splitting it right apart.‘Joshua. Did you know that by causing my miscarriage, you’d lose two children…?’Nigel...Tears streamed down Luna’s face uncontrollably, and she closed her eyes feebly. “Joshua Lynch… I won’t forgive you for this…”The color drained from Luna’s face
If all three of their children were dead, Luna and Joshua could not possibly get back together ever again.As soon as she thought of this, Alice lifted her head to stare at the night sky above her and could not help letting out an evil cackle.Six years.She spent six years trying to turn herself into Luna Gibson, but in the process, both her father and Liam were in jail, while Richard and Yvonne were just barely getting by. She had gone all-in and even caused the Walters to go broke as a result, yet in the end, she still did not manage to win over Joshua.Alice was tired of trying. Even though she and Joshua were not meant to be, she would still use her last ounce of strength to break up Luna and Joshua!As soon as she thought of this, she raised her head to gaze at him. “Joshua, tell me, what’s so special about Luna Gibson? I loved you for so many years, yet I became the person you hated the most in the end. Tell me, why are you so dull-witted?” Joshua’s entire body stiffene
Alice continued to cackle, even when Joshua stared at her incredulously. He glared at her as he picked up his phone, ordering with an unstable voice, “Lucas, locate Luna immediately, and contact those abroad to check on Neil and Nellie! Quick!”Suddenly, Alice’s phone rang. “It’s too late.” Alice’s lips twisted smirk as she brandished her phone at Joshua. “This phone call means my plan has already succeeded.” With that, she picked up the call.Joshua could not hear what the other person was saying, but he could see Alice’s smile growing wider and wider.Hanging up on the call and tossing her phone to the floor, she picked up the knife again and held it against her neck. “Joshua Lynch, I loved you so much that I even willingly turned myself into this monster for you, but you never appreciated my efforts. You never loved me back.“Even if the outcome wasn’t what I expected, but…it’s good enough for me! Since I killed your children, you probably won’t let me get out of here alive ei
