When Joshua went upstairs, Luna was sitting on a chair in his room, deep in her thoughts.
On the table before her laid two almost identical jade rings.
These rings were supposed to be a pair, and even though they were equal in size, the pattern o n the
stones themselves were slightly different yet still matched.
There was something Luna could not understand when she saw these rings.
Before obtaining these two rings, she thought that the rings were a pair that was supposed to b e worn
by a couple. As she finally obtained them and inspected them, however, she suddenly realized that they
were identical in size, and judging from the size, it was supposed to be worn by two men, which baffled
Luna.
Why would Lucy customize two men’s rings in the first place? Who had she intended to give these rings
to? Just as Luna was puzzling over this, she heard the room door open.
Joshua entered the room. Luna
glanced at him, frowning, and silently tucked the rings away. Then, she lifted her head to shoot him an
impassive glance. “Are you done chatting with your precious Dr. Suess?” Joshua
could not help smiling when he heard the tone of her voice. “Are you still mad at me?”
Luna rolled her eyes at him. “What do you think?”
The things that Joshua had said to Bonnie in the clinic were too hurtful.
As a woman herself,
Luna could understand the emotional turmoil that Bonnie had to go through in times like this.
She had been through a similar experience before. Six years ago, when she got into her accident, she
would have given up all hope of living if it were not for the three babies inside her belly.
Bonnie’s situation was not unlike the one she had been in six years ago.
It would be beautiful if Bonnie had chosen to
give birth to the child, like how Luna had, but it was not wrong
of her to choose the other option, which was to abort the baby, stay away
from Jim, and start her life afresh.
Why did Joshua have to say such cruel words?
On top of that…
Since the surgery had already been done, there was no other point in him saying those words; i t
served no purpose apart from hurting Bonnie‘s feelings. Staring at Luna‘s face, Joshua let out a sigh and
wanted to explain everything to Luna, but in the end, he chose not to.
Luna was an emotional person, and it would not benefit her to tell her that Bonnie’s baby was still alive. It
would be better for all of them if Luna continued to think that Bonnie had gone through with the abortion.
Not only would Bonnie be able to give birth to the baby safely and in secret, bụt she would be able to
sever her relationship with Jim once and for all.
As soon as he thought of this, Joshua curled his lips into a smile and pulled Luna into his arms. “Just
now, Dr. Suess told me that you don‘t look well.” Luna had just begun to
soften at the feeling of Joshua‘s embrace when she heard him bring up Dr. Suess.
At the mention of her name, the fire inside Luna‘s head was ignited once more. She shoved Joshua
away from her and snapped, “Do you believe everything she says? Don’t you dare
tell me you can‘t tell that woman is interested in you!”
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly and
replied, “But she‘s one of the best family doctors around, and Lucas spent a lot of effort to find her.”
He lifted his hand to tilt Luna‘s chin down gently and scrutinize her face. “Well, you sure do look
a little pale. Maybe you should treat her like any other doctor and let her examine you next
time, hmm?” Luna scoffed and rolled her eyes at him. “I don‘t need her help.“.
With that, she
pursed her lips defiantly and added, “If I‘m feeling unwell, I‘ll go to Lincoln City to find Dr. Liddell; she‘s far
