“Does Daddy want to give me a younger brother or sister?“ asked Nellie and blinked innocently at Luna.
Luna did not know how to answer her daughter’s question. She bit down on her lip and remained silent
for a moment before she finally responded, “ Daddy wants to have another child, but not with Mommy.“
Nigel let out a sigh, then gripped Luna’s finger tightly with his small hand. “Don’t be sad, Mommy, you still
have us.“
Nellie froze for a moment, then suddenly understood what Nigel was saying. She bit on her lip and
buried her head against Luna’s chest. “Mommy, I’ll always love you.“
She would no longer love her father as she did before! Not only was he aggressive and hostile toward
Luna, but he even wanted children with other women apart from her mother!
Luna sighed upon hearing her children’s heartwarming words, then took them back to their room and
patiently tucked them in for bed.
By the time Nigel and Nellie fell asleep, more than an hour had already passed.
Joshua was nowhere to be found.
Seeing Luna come downstairs, Lily told her, “After Mr. Lynch woke up, he immediately drove away
without saying a word, but he had asked me how you
were doing before he left. I told him you were doing fine, and he smiled and said, ‘How is that possible? ‘
He then left without saying anything else.“
After hearing what Lily said, Luna narrowed her eyes and smirked.
True. How was it possible that she was alright? It turned out that Joshua knew her well.
“Oh, by the way.“ Luna turned around as if she suddenly recalled something and glanced at Lily. “ Ask
the doctor to come downstairs.“
Lily paused. “What for?“ Nigel was already asleep, so why did Luna need the doctor?
“I hurt myself.“ Luna chuckled and sat down gracefully on the sofa. Then, she pulled up her left sleeve to
reveal her unscathed left arm. “I need her to wrap my wound.“
Since Joshua and Shannon had convinced everyone she was injured and needed to go to the hospital,
she needed the doctor to wrap her arm up so that their lies would seem even more compelling.
Lily shot Luna a somewhat puzzled glance before heading up the stairs.
Half an hour later, Luna returned to the design department.
Her left arm was wrapped in a sling, and her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Seeing her like this, Arianna, Samson, and Zayne immediately rushed toward her. “What’s wrong?
What happened?“
“I accidentally bumped into the easel and hurt myself.“ Luna smiled at them, then strode toward her
office.
Charmaine, who was watching Luna from aside, could not help but feel a little disgusted by this sight.
Luna was not even bleeding when President Lynch carried her out of the department just now, but her
arm was wrapped in a sling all of a sudden. How dare she even pretend to be injured?
As soon as she thought of this, Charmaine scoffed and stood up, staring at Luna coldly. “Are you
genuinely hurt? Is there really a wound beneath your bandage?
“Didn’t Shannon and Joshua go with you to the hospital? What happened? Why did they leave you to
come back yourself?“ She rolled her eyes. “I’m utterly disgusted by people who fake injuries! “
At this exact moment, Fiona stepped into the department and just so happened to overhear Charmaine’s
last sentence. She furrowed her brows. “ Charmaine, what’s going on?“
“Nothing.“ Seeing that Fiona was here to take her side, Charmaine felt even more confident at her
statement. “Luna is faking her injury! “
