Other six-year-old children might be able to laugh, cry, and fool around.What about Nigel? He was only six, yet just a happy dinner with his mother and sister could deteriorate his body.Looking at how much suffering Luna was in, Joshua sighed and gently patted her on the shoulder.“Nigel will get better. He’ll definitely get better.”Luna closed her eyes, her voice filled with coldness, “How? How will he get better?”She and Malcolm have searched around in different bone marrow banks.The reason she returned to the country and thought of having another child to cure Nigel was that it was already the last choice due to desperation.However, her child…Luna bit her lip harshly.After a while, she opened her eyes. “Joshua. Let’s sleep together tonight.”She glared at his face and enunciated every word, “I have medication that helps with ovulation. Let’s do it tonight—”“Luna,” Joshua interrupted before Luna could finish her sentence, brows furrowed, “do you know what you’re
Luna had a nice dream.She dreamt that she got pregnant with Joshua’s child once more and gave birth to a son as adorable as Neil.With Nigel’s sickness then cured, she took the children back to Malcolm’s mansion abroad where Malcolm stood by the entrance, all smiles as he welcomed them.Luna ran over to Malcolm in joy and excitement.“I said that I’d cure Nigel. Look! I’ve done it!”Malcolm smiled and looked at her.“I never would’ve thought that Joshua was willing to sacrifice his life to rescue Nigel.”Luna was stunned for a while, dazed as she looked at him. “Joshua sacrificed his life to save Nigel? Joshua…”Joshua’s pale and colorless face suddenly appeared in her mind.Luna took a step backward. It felt as if her heart was squeezed tightly by an invisible hand. The cruel hand gripped her heart tighter, bit by bit, crushing it to pieces.“Joshua!”Luna woke up from her nightmare due to excruciating pain.In the room, Anne and Gwen looked at each other before Gwen tu
Nigel was explaining to Luke, who had a laptop in his hands and a confused expression, next to him.“This is just basic coding. When I have the time next time, I can slowly teach you this.”Luke smiled. “Great.”Once Luna got in the car, she noticed her son and Luke being friendly with each other.She furrowed her brows. Did Gwen not say a moment ago that Luke’s first girlfriend was back in the country? Why did he still have the time to accompany Nigel? Anne helped Luna find a seat in the car.Once Gwen put Luna’s luggage in the car, she went to the counter to get Luna’s patient records.Looking at Gwen leaving, Luna confusedly turned to look at Luke.“Just now Gwennie said that your first girlfriend—”“It’s fake,” Luke stopped Luna before she could finish.“She feels that she’s not worthy to be with me since she was married before and had gone through such an incident. So, I came up with a ‘first girlfriend’ to let her have peace of mind.”Luna and Anne were both speechles
“Can’t I just see you without any purpose?” Bonnie laughed.“We have not seen each other for a long time. Should we have coffee?”Luna hesitated for a while. In the end, she still nodded her head slowly.She was heartbroken for Bonnie, just like how she was heartbroken for her past self who was so obsessed with Joshua.The two of them sat down in the cafe.Bonnie ordered a cup of hot coffee. Luna ordered a cup of room-temperature fruit juice.“Time sure passes by quickly.” Bonnie sighed. She stirred the coffee in front of her while smiling flatly. “It felt just like yesterday when we first met. At that time, you just arrived at the Lynch Group’s design department. You were bullied by Courtney and Shannon. I thought you were just like me…”Then, Bonnie looked at Luna with a deep gaze. “Who would have thought that so many things happened after that…”Luna lowered her head and sighed a little, “Yes.”Time passed by so quickly. When she first knew Bonnie, Luna was still filled w
Bonnie harrumphed coldly. She had a proud expression. “Yes, we are!”“Is that so?”Luna crossed her arms around her chest and leaned back. She gracefully leaned back against the leather seat in the cafe.“Then, let me ask you. Since the both of you love each other so much and you’re the destined lovers of everyone’s envy, then why did Jason leave Banyan City six years ago without any contact?”Bonnie’s eyes widened upon Luna’s words.“That’s because Jason was being framed by others abroad. He had no way of contacting me?”“Is this the explanation that he gave you?”Luna yawned. “What a coincidence. I have been abroad all these years, living comfortably too. Tell me then, which country, area, and by who or which organization was framing Jason?”Luna’s words made Bonnie secretly clasp her hands together.Bonnie gritted her teeth. “Although I’ve never asked him this before, Jason would never lie to me!”“Then, did you know that when your beloved Jason was abroad, not only did he
Bonnie subconsciously took a step backward.She furrowed her brows and looked at Zach. She had a guarded gaze. “Since when did you know Luna? When were you brainwashed by her?”Zach has been friends with Jason since young. They grew up together in the same village. Technically speaking, Zach and Yuri should be on Jason’s side. Why did they not only protect Luna when she splashed coffee at her, but they also stood by Luna’s side, saying what she said was all true?“We have not been brainwashed.”Zach sighed and looked at Bonnie’s face closely. “We also grew up in the same village. Since when did Yuri and I ever lie?”Bonnie bit her lips.It was true. Zach and Yuri were the most honest adopted children in their village. They were simple and honest. They would never cheat or lie since young. They were always teased by Jason and the other kids.Bonnie had also been cheered up by their straightforwardness and simpleness many times.However, at that moment…Bonnie bit her lips.
Could the photo be made up? Bonnie bit her lips and snatched the phone over. She analyzed the photos carefully.She was a news reporter herself. Whether a photo was made, she could notice it if she observed it carefully.However, Bonnie seriously and carefully looked at the photos once again.None. There were no signs of the photos being made up.“All of the photos are real, even if you look at it longer, you won’t be able to see anything.”Realizing Bonnie’s intentions, Luna sighed. She felt emotional. She was once like Bonnie, unconditionally believing in Joshua.A woman in love would always think that their partners were the best and perfect ones.In actual fact…Bonnie’s face was pale. She raised her head and looked at Luna. Her eyes were reddened.However, she still forced back her tears. “No…this can’t be.”“You’ll soon find out.”Luna took a deep breath. She returned back to her seat in front of Bonnie. “Why don’t we place a bet?”Bonnie bit her lips and looked
When Luna and Bonnie reached the mall, Jason was already standing at the entrance with a huge bouquet of roses.Luna has not seen Jason for almost a month.Back then when they were in Sea City, Jason wore a dark blue outdoor jacket. He had dark stubble on his face, looking malicious and sly.At that moment, Jason, who climbed the money tree that is Bonnie, was in an off-white suit, looking clean and suave.The bouquet of roses in his arms was huge. It looked like it was 99 stalks of roses.The quality and quantity of the bouquet was not something Jason, the type of person who constantly works hard for the money, could afford.Luna even deduced that the roses that Jason bought for Bonnie must have been using Bonnie’s money.At that thought, Luna swept a glance at Bonnie. “Let’s get down.”In the car, Bonnie looked at Jason who was hugging a bouquet of roses. The first emotion that rose up in her was not elated joy, but annoyance.Back then, when Jason gave her anything, even if
