When Luna returned to the house of Jason’s wife, the police were already there.Bonnie had been taken away by the ambulance. The police and the forensics were preserving and investigating the crime scene.Jason was being hand-cuffed. He was about to be taken away.Luna walked over. After communicating with the police, they gave her three minutes to talk to Jason.“What? Did you come here to laugh at me?” Jason sneered and looked at Luna. The handcuffs on his hands were shining a cold silvery gleam. Luna took a deep breath. She raised her gaze and looked at him.“Jason, things have gotten to this stage. I hope you can tell me the truth.”Luna’s voice was cold and aloof.“Six years ago, when Joshua got you to crash into me, how did he tell you? Did he get you to directly kick me off the bridge or use the car and continue crashing into me? Do you remember what he said?”Jason furrowed his brows. A hint of franticness flashed across his eyes.After a while, he harrumphed, “I d
Joshua managed to convince Jason’s wife and child to get them to persuade Jason to give up? Luna closed her eyes. She had mixed feelings.Previously, Luna had also thought of this method.To get Jason’s wife and child to persuade Jason to give up, then bring Jason to justice. That would be the least harmful way for Bonnie.However…Upon thinking how troublesome executing this method was plus how she was not good at persuading others, Luna gave up this plan.She never would have thought that Joshua secretly did it.“Are you alright?” Jude rushed over and looked at Luna worriedly. “I heard Jason’s voice. He didn’t hurt you, right?”Luna subconsciously shook her head.After a while, she turned around to look. Her voice was a little hoarse.“You and Joshua have been good friends for many years. Then, can you tell me if Joshua and Aura…”“They never had an affair!”Jude furrowed his brows and raised his fingers to the skies. “I, Jude Smith, swear to God, I use my life as a guar
The initially clear sky was instantly gloomy with dark clouds.Light rain fell. A cold breeze blew by. Luna remained in the same spot. She fumbled and almost lost her balance.She grabbed onto the carved railings to prevent herself from falling.At that moment, the woman who was being carried by Joshua turned back to look.When Luna noticed the woman’s face, she only felt that something exploded in her mind.Luna has seen this woman before.It was at the mall the day before. When Jason and Bonnie were picking out rings, she was casually shopping when she stumbled upon that woman.At that moment, the woman was wearing the long linen dress she wore the day before. Her hair was long and all over. She was buried in Joshua’s arm pitifully.Luna’s mind went blank. She felt as if something was ripped from her heart.She clearly remembered what the woman said in the mall the day before.“Do you think Joshua would like this sort of pure white long skirt? Today is the first time I’m me
Then, Fiona gently took a sip. Her face blushed even more among the steam. “I…never would have thought that you would agree to such a demanding request of mine.”Luna paused for a while before looking at her deeply. “I can give you romance and everything that you want. Everything that couples should have, I could give it to you, but Ms. Blake, I hope that you are clear on this.”Joshua’s voice turned low and cold.“I already have a love of mine. I have three kids with her. I cannot abandon her. Everything that I give you will be fake, can you accept that?”Fiona’s face involuntarily turned pale upon Joshua’s words.After a while, she smiled bitterly. “Mr. Lynch, why do you have to be such a killjoy? Since I have flown all the way from Sharnwick City to Banyan City to look for you to cure your son’s sickness, that proves that I don’t care about all this…”Then, Fiona sighed, “Am I troubling you?”Joshua furrowed his brows a little. “No.”“Then, that’s great.”Luna pursed he
Jude gasped on the other end of the line upon Joshua’s words.“Are you not planning to make up with Luna?”Joshua walked to the entrance of the manor. He looked at the wet greenery outside being drenched under the rain.His heart was filled with desolation.“Do you think it’s possible? Back then, she was tricked by Aura and met with an accident, yet I treated Aura like a sister for six years.“She bore through the pain and gave birth to three of my kids. She returned and gave me a fourth one, yet I killed two of her children.”Jude was instantly rendered speechless upon Joshua’s words.It was true.Although Neil and the miscarriage Luna had was not Joshua’s intention to harm them, but their death still had to do with him.He was the one that caused the destruction of both children. How could Luna forgive him? “So…what are you planning to do?”Jude’s voice turned low. This was the second time in his life he felt sorry for his friend. Ever since Jude knew Joshua, Joshua had
However, Luna could no longer care.Her mind was only filled with Joshua. Joshua. Joshua…She realized that she no longer understood him.She could not understand him at all. She was extremely disappointed, so much so that she did not even hear the frantic footsteps behind her.It was until when the raindrops no longer hit on her body that she looked up in a daze.What she saw was a black umbrella and Joshua in black.Luna hugged her shoulders. She was shivering.Was this an illusion? Was Joshua not being together with Ms. Blake? Why was he here looking at her? Looking at Luna turning around looking at him, a piece of Joshua’s heart was instantly ripped apart.At that moment, Luna’s gaze was pitiful and innocent. She looked like a small creature who ran away from home in the rain, lost and pitiful.However…He still hardened his heart. He said aloofly, “It’s raining. What are you doing here in the rain? Are you planning to get Nigel and Nellie to take care of you?”Jos
Joshua trembled a little.As expected.Luna’s disoriented look was because she witnessed him being with Fiona.However…Joshua did not plan to explain himself.He was clear that it was impossible for him to be with Luna anymore, with the death of two children in between them.Also, for Nigel’s bone marrow transplant, he had to keep his promise to be with Fiona until she passed away.Thus, why did he need to explain himself? He turned to look at Luna. He sneered extremely aloofly. “Is there a difference? On one side, I give up Blue Bay Villa for you and the kids, while I’m at Orchard Manor with my new love. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”The rain was extremely heavy. It was like Luna’s terrible mood.A fit of rage overwhelmed Luna upon Joshua’s words. She gritted her teeth and glared at Joshua. Her voice was harsh and cold.“Joshua, do you know that two of your kids need to be taken care of? Two of your other children have just passed away. The remaining two, one has a
Joshua hung up. He looked at the Blue Bay Villa behind them meaningfully before starting the car and leaving.In the bedroom on the second floor in Blue Bay Villa.Luna, who has changed into dry pajamas, was standing by the window, looking at Joshua driving away.If she was not wrong, the direction in which Joshua was driving was toward Orchard Manor.Luna slowly closed her eyes.What Jude said to her that day rang in her ear once again. She was filled with excitement and delight, thinking that she had misunderstood Joshua, she was being misled by Aura.However, at that moment…She did not misunderstand nor was she misled. It was not important anymore.Joshua Lynch was not worthy of her.“Mommy.”At that moment, the bedroom door was being pushed open.Nigel carried a bowl of hot soup and entered. He carefully placed the soup on the table. “Drink up while it’s hot. You can’t get sick.”Luna turned around and looked at the little child standing there. Her heart was filled w
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
