There was a hint of excitement in Rosalyn’s voice as she hugged Luna’s trembling body. “I didn’t want
you to worry, so I didn’t tell you about it when I first woke up.
“It was only after Dr. Liddell checked me to make sure I’m fine and also after I helped Christopher control
his mental state, I rushed back here to Merchant City.”
She cupped Luna’s tear-stained face and said, “You’re not mad at me, are you?”
Luna shook her head furiously as tears continued to pour down her face. “Of course I’m not.”
Why would she?
After being in a coma for more than a year, the first thing Luna wanted to do was spend time with her
mother, so how could she possibly stay mad at Rosalyn?
“Thank you for understanding.” Rosalyn let out a sigh and continued hugging Luna for a long time before
finally bringing up Joshua. “Joshua is a good man.”
As she held Luna’s hand, she gently spoke, “Your father has filled me in on what happened during this
past year.
“I know that you thought Joshua was the one who almost murdered me and caused me to fall into a
coma.
“Even though Heather is dead now, I still feel the obligation to clear up Joshua’s name for you.
Rosalyn reached out to gently tuck Luna’s hair behind her ear. “A year ago, I asked Joshua to meet me
so we could talk about you.
“After all, at that time, the Landry and Lynch families were at their worst, on the verge of war. At that time,
I requested him to meet me because I wanted to ask him whether he’d treat you well if I chose to let you
go so you could return home with him.”
Luna immediately lifted her head to stare at Rosalyn in disbelief.
She never thought that…this was the reason Rosalyn had met Joshua in private more than a year ago!
“Surprised?” Rosalyn sighed and fixated her gaze on Luna’s face. “I can tell how much you love him, and
at that time, I didn’t want you to have to hold back because of our family’s vengeance. After all, what
does anything that happened in the past have to do with you, anyway?
“You had simply fallen in love with Joshua and ended up building a family together with no knowledge of
the past. Therefore, it isn’t your fault at all, and you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your happiness for familial
vengeance.
“That’s why…at that time, I had wanted to let you go, as long as you were willing to leave, and Joshua
was willing to love you with all his heart.
Hi there’s nothing else in the world that matters more to me than your happiness.”
Tears slid down Luna’s cheeks upon hearing this.
She never thought that Rosalyn would say something like this to her.
Never had Luna thought that Rosalyn had been willing to give her daughter up for her happiness.
“But do you know what Joshua said to me, Luna?” Rosalyn lifted her head to stare off into the distance,
recalling the determined look on Joshua’s face a year ago when they had met…
“It’s all up to Luna. It would be great if she’s willing to come home with me, but even if she doesn’t want
to, I won’t push her.
“Our relationship shouldn’t be a burden to her, and it shouldn’t affect the relationship she has with her
parents.
“I shouldn’t be the only person she has in her life, and you, her family, deserve a place in her life too.”
Rosalyn sighed when she recalled what had happened. “Joshua is a man that genuinely loves you
beyond measure, Luna, and constantly puts you above anything else.
“Please don’t misunderstand him anymore, Luna. He wasn’t the one who tried to kill me a year ago.
“It was Heather.” Rosalyn paused. “But…”
