As it turned out, even when he was visiting Nigel, a call from Fiona was all it took for him to leave without
a single look back.
“Daddy must be busy with work.“ Nellie was worried Nigel would be hurt, so she hurriedly comforted him.
“Maybe it’s serious…“ The little girl held her brother’s hand. “Don’t worry, Nigel, Daddy cares about you.
He loves you a lot.“
Nigel smiled. “I know.“
Looking at the two children pretending to be tough, not just Luna, but even Anne felt furious. She bit her
lip and cursed Joshua out to herself, then patted Luna’s shoulder lightly and tried to comfort her softly.
Luna did not actually need comforting. She saw him for the man he was a long time ago. But…
She looked at the two cute children in front of her and could not help the bout of despair that welled up in
her chest. They were just like her in the past, as long as he was slightly nicer to them, they felt as if the
entire world was theirs. She was worried the children would not be able to accept it and would be sad
and depressed.
Throughout the next week, Luna stayed in the hospital to take care of Nigel. His body did not reject the
transplanted bone marrow and was improving day by day.
A week later, he was discharged from the hospital, and the child in him floated to the surface, holding
Nellie’s hand as they jumped and hopped into Christian’s car.
Seeing the little guy’s lively movements, Luna could not help but sigh. He was a child after all. No matter
how mature he usually acted, when it was time to be childish, he was as childish as any other child his
age.
“You can’t expect a six-year-old to act more mature than me every day?“
Maybe he had read Luna’s mind, Christian leaned on the car door and smiled as he looked at her. “
Children should be children.“
Luna side-eyed him. “You’re a child too.“
Christian patted his nose and said cheekily, “I’m just younger than you, I’m a full-grown adult everywhere
else.“
Only after he said that did he realize that Luna was Joshua’s woman. So he smiled in embarrassment
and hurriedly shut his mouth to end this topic of conversation.
He could hardly be blamed. Even though she was already the mother of a six-year-old child, she was
beautiful, and with glowing skin to match. Even if she said she was 19, the same age as him, people
would believe her.
Luna pretended not to understand his dirty innuendo and loaded Nigel’s suitcase into the booth as she
calmly switched the topic of conversation.
“How’s your friend?“
Christian remained quiet for a while, then finally understood. The ‘friend’ Luna was referring to was
Fiona, the donor who donated Nigel’s bone marrow to him. At the thought of Fiona, he could not help but
snort.
“Ha, she’s doing well. A few days ago, she was considering having a child.”
Somehow, when she heard Christian mention words relating to wanting a child, her mind would drift to
Fiona.
That day Anne said…Fiona wanted to give Joshua a child. Back then, she did not pay much attention to
these words, but now when Christian mentioned his friend wanting a friend too, she was reminded of
Fiona for no reason. They were both Christian’s friends, and both of them wanted a child…
A silly thought popped into her mind.
‘Could it be, the person who donated the bone marrow to Nigel…was Fiona?’
