The doctor nodded, then glanced at Luna. “What about your baby? Are you sure you don’t want to abort
it as well?“
Luna shook her head. “This baby is the most precious thing in the world to me now.“
As soon as she said this, Luna suddenly felt the entire room grow silent, so silent that it felt a little spine-
tingling.
She glanced in the direction of the door and realized that Joshua was standing there, staring at her with
a cold expression, a contemptuous smirk playing on his lips.
Luna recalled what he had told her last night and immediately lowered her head in shame, unsure what
to say next.
The doctor wheeled Gwen into the operation theater while Luke waited outside in a corner, clutching a
bouquet of white lilies. It was strange to see a ruffian like Luke holding a bouquet of fresh, white flowers
in his hand.
Nonetheless, Luna still felt her heart soften at the sight.
Gwen was a lucky girl. Even though she was with a scumbag like Ben and experienced heartbreak in the
past, she had Luke already.
This tough and rowdy gangster was willing to wait for her so patiently outside the operation theater,
clutching a bouquet like a love-struck teenager. Anyone would agree that Gwen was indeed a lucky girl.
This was a stark contrast to Joshua. He was a gentleman who appeared cold and arrogant but did not
even allow Luna Gibson to abort her children properly. Instead, he ordered for her to be murdered.
Luna recalled what had happened the last time she had gotten pregnant with Joshua’s children. She
could not help inching a little further away from him as soon as she thought of the traumatizing memories
of her past.
Even though she tried to make her movements as surreptitious as possible, Joshua still noticed it. He
snorted in indignation and ignored her, closing his eyes, and pretended to take a nap instead.
It felt as though an eternity had passed before Gwen finally emerged from the operation theater.
Fortunately, the surgery was a success. The doctor wheeled Gwen out of the operation theater with a
smile and declared, “The surgery was very successful.“
Luke immediately proffered his flowers, unable to hide his excitement. “Congratulations on starting
anew.“
Gwen stared at the big bouquet of flowers and smiled, closing her eyes at the same time. “I’m not a
teenager anymore. Don’t be so cheesy.“
Despite saying this, there was no denying the happiness in her eyes. Luna felt tears welling up in her
eyes as she took in the scene before her.
All the while, she was thinking…
She had never received flowers like this from the man she loved, despite being married to Joshua for so
long. He had never shown her such affection before, even though she had borne him three, and soon to
be four, children.
Luna could not help feeling a little jealous of Gwen.
After sending Gwen back to her ward along with Luke, Luna walked over to the hospital stairwell and
dialed Theo’s number.
Luna could not afford to put this off any longer. She had to leave Banyan City as soon as possible.
“Luna, something doesn’t seem right,“ Theo’s slightly hoarse voice rang out from the other end of the
line. “There are a few bodyguards here. They claim that the Lynches sent them over to protect Neil and
Nellie. Are you familiar with them?“ Luna paused. “What happened?“
Shortly after Neil and Nellie arrived at their summer camp, Joshua had sent a few men over to protect
them. Zach and Yuri had gone over only a while after that.
“I heard them mention Alice’s name when they were on the phone just now.“ Theo lowered his voice and
continued, “So I eavesdropped on their conversation and heard them saying that they had discovered my
plan of taking Neil and Nellie away. They also received orders from Alice to get rid of the three of us.”
