Luna remained in her seat and watched Jason disappear into the night. She suddenly felt a little cold and
could not help shivering.
She closed her eyes and remained seated for a long while after that, enjoying the cool sea breeze before
she slowly stood up and hailed a taxi back to her hotel.
Luna did not manage to sleep well the entire night. She dreamt a lot of things.
At first, she dreamed that Jason and Bonnie had gotten married, but Jason murdered Bonnie after that,
claimed her inheritance and insurance money for himself, and spent the rest of his life carefree and
happy.
After that, Joshua appeared and stared down at her while, at the same time, ordering someone to abort
her baby.
In her next dream, she failed to save Nigel and watched him die before her.
After she woke up from her last nightmare, Luna could no longer fall asleep, simultaneously feeling her
morning sickness acting up again.
She clung onto the rim of the toilet bowl and vomited over and over again at 3 a.m. in the morning.
After a while, Luna got exhausted from all her vomiting and rinsed her mouth. Slumping against the sofa,
she stared at the dark sky outside the
window but did not dare to fall asleep.
It was already difficult enough being a pregnant woman, but with other things to worry about, it felt even
more challenging than ever.
Luna knew that she had to get more rest, but she could not bring herself to do so and instead stayed up
till sunrise.
She took a quick nap and, at 7 a.m., finally woke up. After freshening up, she made her way to the
hospital.
Yesterday, she and Gwen had decided to invite Luke over to the hospital today so that Luna could
convince him to let Gwen undergo her abortion.
Luna hoped to achieve this as quickly as possible so that she could leave Banyan City and meet up with
Theo soon.
As soon as Luna arrived at the hospital and pushed open the door to Gwen’s ward, she sensed that
something was wrong.
The atmosphere in the room felt a little eerie.
Luke was sitting in a chair, his expression dark. Meanwhile, Gwen was leaning against her headboard,
her eyes red-rimmed. It was obvious she had been crying.
Luna could not help frowning when she took in this scene before her.
She walked over to Gwen, lowered her voice, and asked, “What happened?“
Gwen sniffled and answered in a nasally voice, “Luna This was good news.
Despite feeling excited by this news, she continued in a low voice, “Did you manage to convince him? “
Luna had thought it would take a lot of time and effort to convince Luke.
“No.“ Gwen let out an exhale and shook her head. “It was Joshua who persuaded him.“
Luna’s entire body stiffened.
She recalled that… Joshua had indeed promised her he would help her convince Luke as well, but she
thought that after what happened last night, he would not be willing to do so anymore.
She did not expect that Joshua would do this the first thing after he left the beach.
Still…
Luna furrowed her brows in confusion. “Why are you crying, then?“
Luke had already agreed to the abortion, so why was Gwen still upset?
Gwen lowered her head and handed something over to Luna.
It was a small red book.
A small row of gold lettering on its cover read, [Marriage Certificate.]
Luna was so shocked by this that she raised her voice, ”You two got married?”
Gwen closed her eyes and nodded in response. ”This was…the only condition he had before he allowed
me to proceed with the abortion.”
