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
It turned out the child in Luna’s womb was his all along.She had not slept with Theo at all!Joshua could not believe that Alice had managed to trick him into believing the father of Luna’s baby was Theo. Joshua would never forgive himself if he ended up losing his unborn child!It was already late at night, so the streets were empty, apart from Joshua’s car. He whizzed through the open roads, heading straight toward the airport, with Luke following closely behind.Luke was worried about Joshua, so he immediately followed as soon as he saw him leaving the hospital.“This man has gone crazy!” Luke flung his cigarette away and stepped on the gas pedal, trying to catch up with Joshua.However, no matter how fast his car went, he could not keep up with Joshua at all. Suddenly, Joshua’s phone rang.It was Lucas.Joshua slowed his car down slightly and picked up the phone. “How’s Neil and Nellie?”Lucas lowered his voice, “I managed to get in touch with Zach and Yuri. It… doesn
Luna was unconscious for a long time.During this period, her condition did not stabilize at all. Instead, she ran a high fever recurrently and dreamed all sorts of nightmares.There was a huge fire in her dream, and she could see Neil and Theo trapped in it. They were shouting at her for help, but she could not go in to save them at all. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get closer to them at all. It was as though there was a layer of transparent glass separating her from them.Luna could only watch helplessly as the fire and explosion blew Neil and Theo apart.Finally, she sat down in front of the burning house, crying and crying. The dream played out the same way many times after that. However, each time, the people trapped in the fire were different. Sometimes it was Nellie, and sometimes Nigel…Luna was stuck in her nightmares and could not wake up from them.By the time she finally regained consciousness, a month had passed.When she opened her eyes and found h
Luna pressed the elevator buttons furiously, gritting her teeth at the same time. “Come on, elevator, come on. I want to see Neil, my Neil…”She continued to mutter Neil’s name over and over again as if besieged by a spell.Finally, the elevator arrived.As soon as the doors slid open, Joshua caught sight of a deranged-looking Luna standing outside the elevator.She stormed into the elevator and grabbed Joshua’s arm. “Where’s Neil? Where did he go? You must know where he is, right? You must know he isn’t dead. You hid him! Where did you hide him?“Joshua Lynch!” she yelled like a lunatic and could not stop her tears from falling anymore. “Neil…”Joshua’s expression darkened. After a moment, he let out a sigh and pulled her into his arms.His embrace felt warm and protective, with a hint of his distinctive scent lingering about.Luna froze at the sudden turn of events, then immediately furrowed her brows. She struggled against his grip, screaming, “Let go of me! What are you doi
Joshua carried Luna into the car. Luna sat in the back seat in silence throughout the car ride, gazing at the scenery outside the window. The car pulled further and further away from the city center, heading toward the outskirts. Luna could not help frowning as she watched the trees go past. “Why would Neil be at such a faraway place?” Gwen gave her a meaningful look, then closed her eyes, unwilling to be the one to burst Luna’s bubble. Joshua reached out to hold her hand but paused. His hand hung mid-air for a moment, then finally drew it back. He let out a sigh and said, “So that he can be at peace, with no one disturbing him.” Luna nodded, thinking that Joshua’s explanation did not seem right yet made sense at the same time. “Hmm, I guess you’re right! Neil definitely needs some alone time by himself. This child is far too talkative… Even though he’s only six, he acts like a grown-up. Sometimes, I even think he might be older than me. “He’d always tell me not to stay
“Mommy is sorry! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought you back to Banyan City with me…” Luna’s weeps echoed through the cemetery.Staring at Luna’s scrawny build, Gwen helplessly sniffed and turned around to wipe away her tears.To present such bad news to Luna as soon as she woke up from her coma was too cruel.However… Gwen knew that if they did not tell her, it would complicate things in the future, since…After all, Nigel and Nellie were not doing too well either.The rain started to grow heavier, so Joshua opened his umbrella and held it above Luna’s head, continuing to watch her weep in silence.Luna cried from afternoon till evening until she eventually got tired, her voice hoarse in the aftermath. She finally slumped onto the ground, totally and utterly exhausted.Despite that, however, she still clung to Neil’s tombstone in desperation, as though holding onto it would prevent Neil from actually leaving this world.“Luna.” Joshua sighed and threw his umbrella asi
When Luna woke up once again, it was already the next morning.Gwen, who had been watching over her the entire night, was forcefully taken away by Luke. At that moment, it was Anne who sat at her bedside.Anne sighed helplessly as she saw Luna stirred from slumber, standing up to gently tuck her in. “Gwen and Joshua are too reckless. You’ve been unconscious for almost a month, yet they passed on such a miserable piece of news to you the moment you wake up, and even took you to the cemetery under the rain. I truly wonder if they have any brains at all!”Anne calmly sighed before casting Luna a considerate gaze. “How are you right now? Are you feeling better? I know—you’ve lost a son. You won’t be able to recover from the grief so soon, but…”Anne took a deep breath. “Luna, although you’ve lost two children, you have another two waiting for you. You need to buck up, get well, and live for them. If you can’t get well, how do you expect Nigel and Nellie…to do the same?”Luna low
