Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1071

As soon as they heard this, both Joshua and Mr. Chase lifted their heads and shifted their gaze to Luna.

Mr. Chase clenched his teeth and glowered at her. “ What kind of evidence do you have? Did you forget that you're a mentally insane patient right now?

None of the things you say can be taken as evidence!

“If anything you say can be taken as proof, then everything that my staff here at the hospital say can be taken as evidence as well, but what makes you think anyone will help you? Who would stand on your side and say that you didn't break your finger?“

Mr. Chase was highly confident about his power and influence in this hospital, so he did not think Luna would be able to prove him guilty at all.

Luna curled her lips into a slight smile, then strode over to Joshua's side and glanced around the room. Then, finally, she caught sight of the speaker that the hospital staff usually used for alerting the patients of lunch and dinner.

She took out the recording device from her ear and connected it to the speaker on the table.

The recording of everything that happened on the day Luna's finger was crushed rang through the room.

Everyone could hear the nurse's scolding, Luna's wails of agony, as well as the cold snicker coming from the man who had crushed her finger. “Boss

said, one at a time. The number of fingers she can preserve depends on how long Mr. Lynch wants her to stay here.“

Joshua's entire body stiffened when he heard the cold, heartless conversation between the nurses.

It turned out that...Luna had been telling the truth all along.

Her finger had been smashed by a hammer.

Despite having gone through such tremendous pain, Luna did not say a word, and Joshua had no idea any of this had been happening at all.

He even believed other people's lies and thought she had lost her mind and broken her finger herself!

As soon as he heard Luna's cries of agony through the speaker, Joshua could not stand it anymore and immediately stood up. He kicked Mr. Chase, who was still kneeling on the ground, forcefully and shot him a murderous glare. “Where is the man in the recording? Tell me where he is right now! “

The color drained from Mr. Chase's face as he stared at Joshua. “I...“

“Tell me immediately! “ Joshua was so irate at this point that he could not maintain his usually calm, composed demeanor anymore. He forcefully lifted Mr. Chase off the ground by his collar and snarled, “If you tell me who it was right now, I might consider letting you off the hook! “

Mr. Chase was so terrified that he started shaking like a leaf and finally stammered a name.

Joshua's expression darkened as soon as he heard the name.

He was familiar with this person.

It was the name of the bodyguard that he had assigned to protect Fiona a few days ago, having sent her off to the hotel after what happened between her and Granny Lynch.

Joshua closed his eyes and clenched his fists in anger. After a moment, he turned and strode out of the room.

“Where are you going, Mr. Lynch?“ Mr. Chase, who was still kneeling on the ground, asked when he saw Joshua leaving.

“I'm going to find Fiona,“ Joshua spat. He paused in his steps and added, “I'll be closing down your hospital immediately. Lucas! “

Lucas, who had been standing guard by the door all this while, immediately piped up, “Yes, Sir! “

“Smash all five of Mr. Chase's fingers with a hammer. Since he'd done this to Luna, I want him to experience the pain she has gone through.“

With that, Joshua left, leaving a wide-eyed Mr. Chase staring at him. “Mr. Lynch—“

Seeing that Joshua was not turning back, Mr. Chase immediately turned around and shifted his gaze to Luna, who still remained motionless. “Ms. Luna...“ Luna furrowed her brows and circled him, glancing at him with a disgusted look on her face as she passed. “I'm a mentally insane patient, so Joshua won't listen to anything I say anyway.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1072

With that, Luna turned and left.

Joshua walked out of the mental asylum with Luna following behind.

While on their way to Fiona's hotel, Luna called Dr. Robert to tell him that Janice was in the mental asylum.

“It must've been you! “ Dr. Robert was very agitated as soon as he heard this. “It must've been your fault! If it weren't for you, why would Janice want to take your place in the mental asylum and refuse to come out? I diagnosed you as mentally insane, and you forced my wife to take your place as a patient instead! You're a cold, heartless b*tch! “

Luna could not help but feel amused by how distressed Dr. Robert sounded. “Me? Heartless? If you think I'm heartless, then what do you call someone who intentionally murdered Ms. Janice's ex-husband and daughter just to get back together with her?“

Dr. Robert was so astounded by this that he did not know what to reply. Finally, after a long while, he snarled through gritted teeth, “Just you wait! As soon as I get Janice out of there, I'll make you pay for this! “

Luna could not be bothered by his threats and instead hung up the phone.

However, as soon as she hung up the phone, she rubbed her temples in frustration.

She was a little worried about this. Seeing how distressed Dr. Robert was, she doubted if Janice would be able to convince him to come clean with the truth.

The car soon arrived at the hotel Fiona was staying in.

Fiona strode out of the hotel entrance as soon as the car pulled up, with the same bodyguard who had smashed Luna's finger with a hammer following closely behind.

As soon as she caught sight of the bodyguard, Luna's entire body stiffened. She bit down on her lip and clenched her right hand into a fist.

Seeing how nervous and uneasy she was, Joshua furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, however, Fiona had already arrived in front of their car.

“Hello, Joshua! “ Fiona smiled and waved from outside the window.

Luna immediately frowned and pressed her body flat against the backseat of the car so that Fiona and the bodyguard would not be able to see her.

Joshua watched all this unfold and furrowed his brows slightly, then rolled down the car window impassively.

“Joshua, I heard you went to Sea City to capture Luna.“ Fiona gently laid her head against the window, smiling from ear to ear. “How did it go? Did you manage to find her?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes and curled his lips into a smirk. “No."

“You didn't find her?" A glimmer of delight flashed across Fiona's eyes. However, a split second later, she regained her composure and put on an expression of regret. “That's too bad. I thought that you'd be able to find Luna and make things right for Nigel and Nellie...

“After all, they had kidnapped Janice only a day after they saw Luna. If you managed to track her down, you might be able to tell the media that Luna was the one behind all this instead of the children. Otherwise...the children would have to go to jail on charges of kidnapping, and this will definitely affect their future."

Joshua continued to watch her coldly. As soon as she finished her sentence, he curled his lips into a sneer and glanced at Fiona impassively. “Didn't you already say that to the media?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1073

Fiona's expression darkened upon hearing this.

Since Joshua had brought this up, this meant that he had seen the interviews she did, but...

She had already downloaded the application that Jake had given her into both Joshua and Lucas'

phones...so how could he have found out about the interviews?

“You told the media that even though Nigel and Nellie are just children, they're already wise beyond their age. Doesn't that imply that they had indeed kidnapped Janice?“

Fiona pursed her lips slightly. “That wasn't what I meant. All I wanted to say was that they were intelligent kids...“

“Is that so?“ Joshua curled his lips into a cold sneer and opened the passenger side door. “Come on in. I have something to tell you.“

Fiona contemplated for a moment before finally getting into the car.

As soon as he saw her entering, the bodyguard that had been keeping an eye on Fiona followed suit.

However, before he could even open the door to the backseat, Joshua stopped him and said, “I want to thank you for protecting Ms. Blake these few days, so go find Lucas to retrieve your reward.“

The bodyguard was delighted to hear this. He immediately nodded and scampered off to find Lucas.

As soon as the bodyguard left, Joshua locked the car doors and started the engine. Fiona sat in the passenger seat and said in a gentle voice, “Joshua, I thought that you'd be able to find Luna in Sea City and bring her back.“

With that, she let out a sigh and added, “I pity Luna. If her children hadn't died, she wouldn't have lost her mind due to the emotional trauma and gone crazy. I was even thinking of visiting her at the mental asylum, but she escaped before I could do so Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled as he drove. “How did you know that Luna escaped?“

Joshua knew that even before he went to the mental asylum, Mr. Chase had kept Luna's escape a secret to prevent the public from finding out. Even after he had gone to the mental asylum and discovered that Luna had broken out, Joshua, too, instructed Mr.

Chase not to leak the news to the public. Despite that, Fiona somehow knew of this.

Fiona was a little startled by this question. Then, after a long pause, she let out an awkward cough and said, “Actually, I... I heard this from— “

“You heard this news from Mr. Chase,“ a cold, female's voice interrupted Fiona before she could finish.

Luna straightened up and fixated her gaze on Fiona, sneering. “You and Mr. Chase were in on this together, weren't you?“

“Luna?! “ Fiona was so shocked by Luna's voice and sudden appearance that she could not even say a single word.

She turned to glance at Luna, then at Joshua, her face as pale as a ghost.

Since Luna was sitting in Joshua's car at this moment, utterly unscathed, this could only mean one thing...

Joshua and Luna had overcome their misunderstanding.

Fiona slumped feebly against the seat and glanced out the window, trying desperately to figure out an excuse to explain her behavior.

All of a sudden, she was struck with a realization.

“We're not heading to Orchard Manor! “ Fiona turned to stare at Joshua in shock. “Joshua, where are you taking me?“

Joshua stared at the road ahead of him with an expression of nonchalance. “The hospital.“

Fiona's eyes widened. “Why are we going to the hospital?“

“I've made an appointment with another expert medical team to diagnose and treat you. I want to find out if there's a cure for your disease or not.“

Fiona's face flushed scarlet immediately upon hearing this.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1074

Fiona then said, her throat tight and her lips trembling, “Joshua... I...don't think that's necessary, isn't it? Didn't Dr. Robert already give me a diagnosis for my illness? He's the most reputable doctor in the world who's never made a mistake.“

Joshua glanced at Fiona's pale face through the rearview mirror and sneered contemptuously. “He's never made a mistake? Fiona, from the moment you bribed Dr. Jenson to make a false diagnosis for Luna, he's no longer the reputable Dr. Jenson that we know of anymore.

“I've been wondering this for a while now: Why is there no medicine nor any treatment for your illness? Does this mean there's nothing we can do apart from waiting for you to die in a year?

“Because of this, I've asked many other doctors apart from Dr. Jenson for help, but none of them could give a definite answer to my question. I even

wondered how you acquired such a strange and rare illness, but now I know the answer.“

Joshua gave Fiona a cold, penetrating stare and continued, “If you're not sick at all, of course there won't be any medicine or doctor available to treat you. If you're not sick, of course there won't be a way to make you better.“

The color had drained entirely from Fiona's face. Seeing that she was about to be exposed at any moment, she was so nervous that she started stuttering, “Joshua, I... I'm not faking anything! I'm

really sick! I have a fatal disorder that makes me prone to passing out when experiencing emotional trauma! “

She bit down on her lip and stared at Joshua with red-rimmed eyes. “I'm upset that this is how you think of me. If I lose control of my emotions again...“

Joshua was not intimidated by her threats at all and instead curled his lips into a sneer. “Well, that won't be an issue since we're already at the hospital anyway.“

With that, he parked the car.

Luna glanced out the window and realized that they were already at the entrance of Central Hospital.

As soon as the car stopped, a few nurses approached them and dragged Fiona out of the passenger seat without any warning.

“Joshua, I can explain everything! Joshua—! “

Luna let out a small sigh as Fiona's cries grew further away. Then, after a moment, she lifted her head to glance at Joshua in the driver's seat. “What a surprise. I didn't think you'd ever suspect your precious Ms. Blake of fraud, Mr. Lynch.“

Joshua could see the taunting look in Luna's eyes. He let out a sigh and slumped against the leather seat feebly.

He had been suspecting Fiona of this for a while, but He always thought Fiona was a kind person. After all, she had flown in from abroad to Banyan City just to donate bone marrow to Nigel.

Therefore, he did not think that she would turn out to be someone who would use her own health as a tool to gain other people's sympathy. Because of this, every time he suspected Fiona of faking her illness, Joshua would always remind himself not to have such doubts about a woman who had donated bone marrow to his son.

Besides, Fiona had Dr. Robert's diagnosis as proof, so Joshua did not have any reason to suspect her of fraud either, until...

Until yesterday, when he saw Janice in Luna's ward.

Janice's words had awoken him to the truth: that he should believe his own eyes and his gut feeling rather than cold, hard statistics and prescription notes.

Luna and Joshua continued to sit in the car in silence.

Half an hour later, Joshua received a call from the hospital. “Mr. Lynch, can you come upstairs for a bit? We've arrived at a conclusion...about Ms. Blake's illness."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1075

Joshua's expression darkened upon hearing this. He put down his phone, then turned to glance at Luna. “ The doctors have concluded Fiona's disease. Do you want to come with me to hear what they have to say?“

Luna contemplated this for a moment, then chuckled. “Of course I do.“

She got out of the car and added as they made their way to the hospital, “How can I miss the opportunity to witness the love of your life falling from her pedestal, Mr. Lynch?“

Joshua froze upon hearing this. A bitter smile crept across his face as he watched Luna walk further away.

The love of his life...

He would never allow her to fall from her pedestal.

Never.

The two made their way into the hospital and arrived at the 18th floor, where Fiona had been undergoing her checkup.

Initially, Luna thought that they would be met with the sight of a defeated-looking Fiona and a group of experienced doctors when they arrived.

To her surprise, however...

When she and Joshua entered the ward, the first thing they saw was Fiona casually munching on some fruits, sitting gracefully on the hospital bed with her legs crossed.

Meanwhile, a group of doctors was sitting on stools surrounding her, their faces etched with confusion and helplessness.

Luna frowned upon seeing this. She had a feeling that something was wrong.

Joshua, too, furrowed his brows when he entered the room.

As soon as they arrived, the head doctor immediately stood up and approached them. “Mr. Lynch.“

Joshua glanced at him impassively and said, “Tell me what happened.“

The doctor cleared his throat. “Basically, we cross — checked and compared Ms. Blake's symptoms, and the conclusion is—

“Her symptoms match up with that of Dr. Robert's diagnosis, so we believe that Dr. Jenson's initial diagnosis was correct: Ms. Blake has indeed acquired a rare disease that causes her emotions to influence her physical health, and she has only less than eleven months to live.“

Luna immediately froze upon hearing this.

Joshua, too, frowned as he then asked icily, “What do you mean by this? Does this mean that after spending such a long time examining her, the conclusion you get is that her symptoms match with those that Dr. Jenson described, and so he's correct?“

The doctor remained silent for a moment, then nodded. “Yes... That's correct.“

Seeing that Joshua's expression was growing darker by the minute, the doctor let out an awkward cough and lowered his head. “Mr. Lynch, please don't blame us... Ms. Blake was diagnosed by Dr. Robert himself, and you should know that Dr. Jenson is a reputable and experienced doctor... He's been in this field for more than forty years now and has never made a mistake. His diagnoses are always a hundred percent accurate.

“We've never seen anything like what Ms. Blake is experiencing before, so we didn't dare come to another diagnosis. However, since Dr. Robert has stated that her illness is an incurable one...then it must be true...“

Luna immediately glanced in Fiona's direction when she heard this.

At this moment, Fiona was sitting elegantly on the hospital bed, chewing on an orange nonchalantly.

Luna narrowed her eyes, and a cold sneer spread across her lips.

Fiona knew that not a single doctor dared to challenge Dr. Robert's expertise for fear of offending him, and so she would not be exposed at all.

No wonder she did not seem worried at all. It turned out she had expected this to happen all along.

Joshua glared at the doctor in anger.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1076

“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?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1077

“Dr. Robert has been involved in a car accident.“ Joshua frowned and glanced at Luna as soon as he hung up. “He was on his way to see us.“

Dr. Robert was caught in an accident?

Luna felt her mind go blank as soon as she heard this. How did this happen?

Just a few minutes ago, Janice had told her that Dr. Robert was on his way to the hospital to see them and admit his mistakes in front of Joshua, so how could he suffer an accident so abruptly?

Was this simply a coincidence, or did someone plan this?

If this accident was intentional, then did Dr. Robert deliberately cause an accident to avoid telling the truth, or...

All of a sudden, Luna recalled the strange phone call that she had received just a few minutes ago.

The person who called her...was probably Dr. Robert himself!

Luna bit down on her lip and felt as though something was stirring in her heart.

Since Dr. Robert had called her immediately after he got into the accident, this meant that he was willing to face the truth and rectify his mistakes. Therefore, if this accident was not a coincidence, then someone else must have caused this to stop Dr. Robert from coming clean with the truth!

As soon as she thought of this, Luna bit down on her lip and lifted her head to gaze at Joshua. “I want to go to the site of the accident and see Dr. Robert.“

Joshua furrowed his brows slightly upon meeting Luna's determined gaze. “Are you sure?“

The person who had called Joshua said that the accident was extremely serious and that Dr. Robert was barely holding on. He was trapped inside his car, unable to escape, and the firefighters were trying desperately to rescue him...

Therefore, he did not think it was appropriate for Luna to go to the accident scene since she had only recently recovered from her injuries.

Regardless, Luna bit down on her lip and stood her ground. “I'm sure. I want to go.“

If someone had deliberately planned this to murder Dr. Robert, then he could not possibly make it out alive. However, as he was still putting up a fight, Luna knew she had to rush over immediately to listen to what he had to say before it was too late.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do to change her mind, Joshua had no choice but to relent. He let out an exhale and strode out of the room. “Let's go, then.“

Luna paused for a moment, then quickly followed after him.

When the two of them reached the elevator, one of the bodyguards caught up with them and asked, “Sir, what about Ms. Blake? Should I let her leave?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. “No one is allowed to let her leave without my orders! “

“Yes, Sir! “

Joshua did not wait for the bodyguard's response and instead got into the elevator with Luna and descended to the ground floor.

Throughout the drive from the hospital to the accident site, Luna put her hands together and prayed for Dr. Robert.

She knew that since Dr. Robert was willing to kill both Violet and Shaun Lewis so that he could be together with Janice, this was karma for what he had done in the past.

However, she had to obtain his final confession to prove that he had been lying all along and expose Fiona's true colors.

The car soon arrived at the scene of the accident.

The air was filled with the stench of gasoline and blood. The accident scene had been sealed off with police tape, and the firefighters were hard at work, trying to rescue Dr. Robert from his car.

Luna initially wanted to rush to Dr. Robert's side and talk to him, but...

He was trapped inside his car and so severely injured that some parts of his body had been punctured down to the bone, exposing his innards within. His limbs were paralyzed and bent in such crooked angles that he looked like a doll.

Just a single glimpse made Luna nauseous, and she had to stop by the roadside to vomit.

Joshua let out a sigh and patted her back while holding a bottle of mineral water. “I already told you not to come."

Luna closed her eyes. She wanted to talk to Dr. Robert, but the sight of him was so mortifying that she felt as though her stomach would turn itself inside out.

She did not even dare to go near him, much less find out if he was still alive or not...

At this exact moment in the hospital, the elevator arrived on the 18th floor.

A young boy in a black tuxedo came out of the elevator.

The bodyguard caught sight of this boy and quickly approached him. “Young Master Nigel? Is that you?"

The boy remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Yes." “Didn't you go to the villa in the countryside with Granny Lynch? Why did you return so suddenly?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1078

The little boy furrowed his brows, then curled his lips into a small smile. “The countryside is too boring for me, so I came back early.“

Then, he glanced into the ward and asked, “Is Aunty Fiona inside?“

The bodyguard froze for a moment. This was the first time he had ever heard Nigel bring up Fiona on his own accord. He scratched his head in slight confusion and replied, “Yes, Ms. Blake is inside. Sir gave us orders to— “

“Ask her to come out and play with me, “ the little boy interjected curtly. “I'm a little bored now.“

The bodyguard remained silent for a moment, then replied, “But Sir said that— “

“I'm Mr. Lynch's son.“ The little boy shot the bodyguard a cold glance and continued in a calm tone, “Everything that belongs to Mr. Lynch now will become mine in the future. If you don't listen to me and instead choose to offend the future President Lynch, do you know what the consequences will be? Do you need me to remind you?“

His answer made the bodyguard hesitate for a moment. “But...“

“If anything goes wrong, then ask Mr. Lynch to blame it on me. I'm his son, Nigel. What are you still so afraid of?“

As soon as they heard this, the bodyguards standing in front of Fiona's room exchanged glances, then finally relented. They opened the door to Fiona's ward and released her.

Upon exiting the room, Fiona still looked a little puzzled. She stared at the young boy before her and asked, “Nigel?“

“Yes.“ The boy furrowed his brows and seemed a little reluctant to be called this. He turned and headed toward the elevator. “Come with me, Aunty Fiona. I'll bring you out to play.“

Fiona froze for a moment, then quickly followed him. The two got into the elevator together.

As soon as the doors slid shut, the little boy let out a sigh of relief.

It did not feel nice at all to be impersonating someone else.

Fiona frowned and glanced at the young boy standing next to her. “You...“

“Nice to meet you,“ Neil said as he extended his hand to shake hers. “I'm Aura Gibson's son; my name is Jake Landry.“

Fiona's eyes widened in shock. “You're Aura's son?“

Even though she had seen Jake before and knew that he looked identical to Joshua and Luna's son, she had always thought this was just a boy that Aura had brought from abroad to impersonate Nigel.

All of a sudden, this boy claimed to be Aura's son instead.

“Are you surprised to know this? “ Neil gave her a small smile. “My mom finally told me why I look identical to Nigel today. It's because..."

He narrowed his eyes and continued, “My mother, Aura Gibson is Luna's sister. As for my father, he's the same person as Nigel and Nellie's father...”

Fiona's eyes were as wide as saucers. “Are you saying that you're..."

“Yes." Neil lifted his head to gaze at the direction ahead of him, a somewhat complicated look in his eyes. “I'm also Joshua's son. The reason my mother Aura returned to Banyan City is to take my father away from Luna."

With that, Neil let out an internal sigh. Truth be told...he was quite fond of the woman known as Luna. He was even delighted to find out that she was his aunt, but...

He recalled the way Aura had looked when she held the knife against her neck and demanded to know if he would help her steal Joshua away from Luna, and he closed his eyes.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1079

Luna and Joshua waited at the scene of the accident for half an hour before the firefighters finally managed to break Dr. Robert free from his car.

By the time he was wheeled onto an ambulance, he was so weak that there were barely any signs of life.

However, as soon as he caught sight of Luna, his eyes lit up, and he lifted his head and gestured for Luna to approach him somewhat feebly.

Because of the profuse vomiting, Luna's footsteps were a little unstable as she slowly made her way to Dr. Robert. She tilted her head sideways to listen to what he had to say.

“I 've...disappointed Janice. Please help me pass on a message to her and tell her to continue living... Also, I have a copy of Fiona's real diagnosis... I've kept it at the hospital abroad, where I murdered Violet and Shaun Lewis... You can ask someone to retrieve it, and the truth will surface...“

As soon as he finished his sentence, Dr. Robert rolled his eyes, and his hand fell back onto the railing of the gurney.

A few doctors shoved Luna to one side and immediately tried to resuscitate Dr. Robert.

“Patient's respiration and pulse have diminished.“ “Patient has no signs of life.“

“Patient is clinically dead.“

After ten minutes of resuscitation, the paramedics officially declared Dr. Robert's death.

Luna remained motionless and felt as though her body was about to float away. This was the first time she had witnessed such a serious accident and the first time she had watched someone die right in front of her.

A few hours ago, this man had furiously threatened to send her back into the mental asylum after finding Janice, yet...

All of a sudden, Luna caught sight of an ambulance belonging to the mental asylum parked at a distance.

A middle -aged woman dressed in a hospital gown staggered off the ambulance. It was Janice.

She had lost her usual air of gracefulness and tranquility and was sprinting toward Dr. Robert, sobbing.

Finally, she slumped against Dr. Robert's limp, lifeless body and wailed in sorrow.

Rain started to pour from the sky. However, no one dared to stop Janice from crying.

She continued to sob for a very long time until finally, she took out a fruit knife from her pocket and stabbed herself in her chest before anyone could stop her—

The ambulance rushed toward the hospital, sirens blaring.

This time, the one sent into the emergency room was Janice. Luna and Joshua, too, followed the ambulance to the hospital.

After an hour of emergency surgery, Janice, too, was declared clinically dead.

Luna was so astounded to receive this news that her legs almost gave out beneath her.

In less than a few hours...she had witnessed two people die right before her eyes.

At this point, she was starting to suspect if she was doing the right thing. If she had not been so determined to seek the truth and expose Fiona's lies

..would Dr. Robert and Janice still be alive?

However...

Hurting people had never been her intention at all.

The only reason she was doing this was so that Aura would resurface, and she would be able to bring Neil and Theo back to her side.

Was everything...her fault?

“It's not your fault.“ Joshua seemed to know exactly what she was thinking and let out a sigh, pulling her into his arms. “Dr. Robert's accident was just that: an accident. Janice loved him too much to leave him alone, so she chose to go with him. None of this was your fault.“

Luna closed her eyes and immersed herself in the warmth of Joshua's embrace. She knew that she should have pushed him away and that he had no right to be holding her like this, but...

At this moment, she was confused, helpless, and uncertain about everything.

She needed someone to rely on.

It did not matter if that person was Joshua or someone else... All she knew was that she needed a hug.

She convinced herself to pretend that he was just a stranger.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1080

It felt good to savor this temporary feeling of warmth.

After God knew how long, Luna let out an exhale and said somewhat dejectedly, still wrapped in Joshua's arms, “I want to bury them.“

Joshua nodded. “Alright. Let's bury them as soon as the weather clears up. As for the grave...“

He narrowed his eyes before continuing, “We'll use the one that I bought for Fiona.“

Initially, he had bought the grave plot for Fiona because he genuinely thought that she would die in a year. However, judging from what was happening, he guessed that the grave would not come into use, whether it was in a year or two.

As soon as she heard the mention of Fiona, Luna finally came to. She released herself from Joshua's embrace and lifted her hand to wipe her tears away. “ Is Fiona still inside the ward?“

She had a feeling that Dr. Robert's death was not a simple accident and that someone had murdered him to stop him from telling the truth.

Even if Fiona was not the mastermind of this, she had to have an accomplice!

Luna immediately let go of Joshua, strode into the elevator, and arrived at the 18th floor.

However, to her surprise, she discovered that the room Fiona was initially in was empty. Not only was Fiona missing, but the five or six bodyguards that had been standing guard on the 18th floor were gone as well.

Luna furrowed her brows in shock. Then, she turned and glanced at Joshua, who had been following behind her.

Joshua, too, was shocked by this sudden turn of events. A split second later, he took out his phone and dialed the number of the bodyguard he had talked to before leaving.

When enquired about Fiona's whereabouts, the bodyguard answered timidly, “Ms. Blake was taken away by Young Master Nigel.“

Joshua frowned upon hearing this. “How is this possible?“

Nigel and Nellie were at the countryside villa with Granny Lynch. He had even talked to Nigel this morning, and Nigel had not mentioned anything about wanting to return to Banyan City!

Besides, even if he did change his mind and decided to return to Banyan City, how could he possibly be alone?

“But...“ the bodyguard's voice grew even softer as he admitted, “We didn't make a mistake at all. It was really Young Master Nigel... He told us to release Ms. Blake and claimed that he wanted to take her out to play. He even said that...if you wanted to hold someone responsible for this, you should blame him, Mr. Lynch...“

“Atrocious! “ Joshua's voice was as cold as a block of ice. “How long has Fiona been gone?“

“More than... More than two hours now...“ More than two hours.

Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration. “You and your men, go to the butler immediately to process your termination and get out of here.“

With that, he put down his phone and lifted his head to shoot Luna a somewhat helpless glance. “Fiona has run away.“

Luna bit down on her lip.

Since Fiona had escaped from the hospital...this made her even more determined that Dr. Robert's death had everything to do with Fiona.

After letting out a sigh, Joshua took out his phone again and ordered, “Lucas, Fiona has escaped from the hospital. Track her location and see where she went.“

Ten minutes later, Lucas returned his call and said, sounding a little anxious, “Sir, something bad has happened... Fiona has left Banyan City! According to our security cameras and GPS location, she has left Banyan City...and is heading toward the countryside! “

At this moment, Luna's phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

As soon as she picked up the phone, Luna heard Fiona's triumphant cackle ring out from the other end. “Luna, you owe me a favor, so why are you doing this to me? You won't stop until I lose everything, including Joshua, won't you? Alright ! Since I have no way of escaping anymore, I'm going to make Nigel pay for this. After all, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't be alive now anyway ! ”
