“Just because Dr. Robert says it’s correct, does it mean it’s absolutely correct?“
The doctor nodded timidly. “That’s one way of putting it… Dr. Robert is one of the most reputable names
in this field… To doubt his expertise is to doubt the entire field of medicine itself… We… We don’t have
the guts to challenge that.“
As soon as the doctor finished his sentence, Fiona gave Joshua a gentle smile and said, “Joshua, please
don’t make these doctors’ lives any more difficult than it already is. If you really think I ‘m faking my
disease, why don’t you ask Dr. Robert to come over and give me another checkup?“
With that, she leaped off the bed and approached Joshua with a grin. Then, she grabbed hold of his arm
and gently swung it to and from as she continued, “Why did you have to get so many doctors to examine
me? I was afraid that I had done something wrong…“
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly and flung Fiona’s arm away, then snapped with a cold expression,
“Do you honestly think that you can get away with anything just because you have Dr. Robert’s proof?“
Fiona curled her lips into a small smile and blinked at Joshua innocently. “That wasn’t my intention at all,
Joshua. I’ve been nothing but cooperative with the doctors as they examined me. It’s not like I can
control their minds and force them to challenge Dr. Robert’s diagnosis, right…?“
Luna frowned upon seeing this. She could not believe how daring Fiona was!
Luna knew that the only way to make Fiona admit that she had been lying was to get Dr. Robert to
contradict his initial diagnosis himself!
As soon as she thought of this, Luna lowered her head to glance at the time. It had been quite a while
since they had left the mental asylum. If everything went according to plan… Dr. Robert should have
reached the mental asylum and talked to Janice already.
All of a sudden, Luna’s phone rang. It was a call from Janice.
Luna immediately picked up her phone.
On the other end of the line, Janice wiped her tears away as she sat in the ward calmly. “Luna, Robert
has left the asylum now. I’ve already told him that if he doesn’t face the mistakes he made… I’ll never
step foot outside this ward ever again.
“He was so devastated and regretful of his actions that he cried, and he even promised me that he’d
come to you immediately. He should be arriving soon.“
With that, she let out a relieved chuckle and added, “ Thank you so much for your help, Luna, as well as
your two children. After talking to Nigel and Nellie the other day, I had an epiphany and realized that
even though I’m over fifty years old now, I’m more timid and fearful than two six-year-olds…“
As soon as she heard this, Luna let out a sigh and replied, “Please don’t say that, Aunty Janice… I
should be the one thanking you for your help instead.“
At this moment, Fiona was triumphant because the doctors did not dare to challenge Dr. Robert’s
diagnosis and, therefore, could not expose her lies.
If Dr. Robert were willing to step forward and admit that he had faked Fiona’s diagnosis, then it would be
of tremendous help to Luna!
“I ‘m happy to help you, even if it’s just a minuscule favor.“
Luna pursed her lips and was about to say something when she received another call from an unknown
number.
She quickly hung up the phone and picked up this new call.
“Luna…“ A feeble, male voice rang out from the other end of the line as soon as the call was connected.
“Come to me… Quick…“
Then, without any warning, the person hung up the phone just as unexpectedly as he had called.
Luna furrowed her brows in shock. Who was this?
She immediately dialed the number back, but the call could not go through.
Just as she was feeling confused about this, Joshua’s phone rang as well.
“Mr. Lynch, Dr. Robert has been involved in a car accident… He’s severely injured… Do you want to
come over and check on him?“
