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
The doctor’s words struck Luna into a daze for a long, long, time. Quite a while later, she lifted the corners of her stiff lips with difficulty, trying to regain her sanity.Shock and confusion were written all over the woman’s face. “Is…is that true?”She and Malcolm had searched abroad for ages but still failed to find a bone marrow that was compatible with Nigel.Their failure in their search for a bone marrow had once thrown her into despair, otherwise, she would not take the risk and return to Banyan City with her two children. And now, the doctor was casually telling her that he could find a compatible marrow for Nigel? “Of course, it’s true!”The doctor patted Luna’s shoulder in excitement. “Ma’am, you’re so excited that you’re finding it hard to believe it, aren’t you? So am I! My hands were shaking when I got the call!” Luna glanced at the doctor in a daze, the excitement hidden in the bottom of her eyes starting to bubble and show. “That means, my boy Nigel can b
Before Shannon could finish her sentence, Luna interrupted her. “You’re right. My son is sick, I need money.” With that, she hung up immediately, while Shannon remained dumbfounded. Lowering her phone, Luna sucked in a deep breath and walked to the balcony. The rain had finally stopped, a rainbow arched across the clouds whilst the earthy smell of wet soil and freshly-cut grass permeated the air. Luna closed her eyes, feeling the pulse of life in the air, and breathed out a long sigh. For Neil, she had put up with Joshua through so much and for so long. Half a month more was nothing. ...Orchard Manor.The moment Joshua parked his car and before he could step out, his phone rang beside him. It was from Lucas. “Sir, everything has been arranged according to your orders. The doctor has already told Ma’am that you will not be paying the rest of the medical bill, and the company has confirmed that Luna will continue working at the Lynch Group. She’ll be returning tomorrow.”Josh
Early the next morning after Luna awoke, she carefully prepared breakfast for the two children, then packed her things and left with the proposal she burned the midnight oil to prepare.“Mommy.” The moment she walked to the door and was about to open it, a clear, childish voice drifted out from behind her. She turned around.Behind her on the staircase, Nigel was standing there holding Nellie’s hand. Seeing her turn around, the young boy pulled his sister’s hand and strode up to Luna. “Good luck in the office!” Nigel raised his head and looked at her solemnly. “You need to earn more money for Nellie and I!” Luna’s lip could not help but lift up into a smile upon seeing the little boy’s serious look. She knelt down and gently caressed his cheek. “I will. When the two of you grow up, you have to work hard and repay me!”Nigel nodded firmly. “Don’t worry! I will! After I recover, not only will I take care of you and Nellie, I’ll also try my best to get Neil back!” Hearing Nigel m
“I already told you, it’s fine even if I don’t eat breakfast.” The woman’s voice was sweet and gentle, with a hint of a whine.Luna’s hand that was about to knock on the door paused in mid-air. This voice…She was reminded of the time two days ago when she met Ms. Blake at the mall. This voice…it must belong to her right?“Finish the milk. Your health is the most important thing to me now.” After the man’s deep voice rang out, again, Ms. Blake’s soft pout was heard. “Come on, nothing will happen if I skip a meal… I’m really not hungry…”Luna bit her lip harshly, retracting her hand wordlessly. Since she woke up at dawn this morning, even though she prepared breakfast for her two children, she had yet to eat anything herself. She was starving as she listened to the two of them flirting with each other, talking about drinking milk and eating breakfast…This felt strange indeed.“Luna?” Right when she was hesitating whether to knock and go in to interrupt the two of them in their lo
