Joshua’s entire body stiffened. He turned and looked at Luna. Her eyes were filled with her desperate
plea. She tugged at his sleeve, both her voice and her gaze seemed equally inferior. He looked at her
and pain flashed through his eyes.
Even though in the past, he wished countless times that she would stay by his side in such an obedient
manner…but he knew she was just doing this because she wanted to escape, to avoid treatment.
He heaved out a long sigh and removed her fingers that were grasping onto his sleeve one by one. ”
Luna, I know you don’t mean what you said. Instead of talking to me, you should cooperate with the
doctors and receive treatment, that way, you can recover as soon as possible.”
He stood up and turned, looking at Luna, his words loud and clear as he said, ”After you recover, I’ll bring
Nellie and Nigel along, the three of us will welcome you home. I will also personally send all of you away
from Banyan City, to live the life that you want. Don’t torture yourself anymore, and don’t try to escape.”
Then, he swallowed the pain and despair deep into his stomach, and turned and left.
Luna sat on the hospital bed, watching his retreating back, her heart felt as if it had been torn into tiny
little pieces and shredded, then thrown into the icy cold depths of a frozen river.
Even if…even if she discarded her pride, it was still not enough?
She pursed her lips, forcefully preventing her tears from over pouring.
“Joshua Lynch! “
Following her roar of anger, a loud bang was heard from behind him, the sound of a heavy object falling
onto the ground.
Joshua had just set one foot out of the ward when he was shocked by the loud noise and immediately
turned back.
At that moment, behind him, the scene that met his eyes made his pupils dilate in shock.
In the sickly-white hospital ward, Luna wore a blue and white striped hospital gown and knelt on the
ground on her knees, her eyes pleading with him. “ I’m begging you.“ She raised her head and looked at
him. “I’m on my knees, begging you. Please take me out of here, please.“
She lifted her hand and folded two fingers, leaving three fingers pointing skyward. “I swear that I will
never fight with Ms. Blake again, I will never try to weaken Ms. Blake’s position in your heart. All I want is
a chance to live, please take me out of here.“
With that, she completely discarded her pride and started to kowtow to him. “Mr. Lynch, in the past, I
might have angered you countless times, please don’t take them to heart… I ‘m begging you, please
take me out of here. I really don’t want to stay here anymore…“
Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Luna acting in such an inferior manner, how could his heart not
ache?
But…if he took her away now, what would happen the next time she suffered another attack? Better to
suffer a little now than risk any long -term damage to her health.
He ignored her pleas, lifted his legs, and strode away. With a loud bang, the thick metal door to her
hospital ward was slammed shut.
With that loud bang, Luna who still had her forehead to the ground, felt as if her entire heart had
exploded into bits.
She could not escape. She was completely stuck here.
Her mind was blank, hearing nothing but white noise in the background.
So…as long as Joshua believed that she was sick, she had to stay here. It was useless no matter how
she begged…
She closed her eyes and was just about to climb back onto the bed when she heard Mr. Chase’s voice
drifted faintly from the corridor outside.
“Mr. Lynch, don’t worry, we’ll definitely send more staff to guard her. She’s an important patient. From
now on, I will assign six nurses to take care of her! “
Six nurses… Luna scoffed. This time, even sprouting wings might not help her escape.
