Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1131
“Joshua! “
Luna could not help but scream out! How did this happen? She gritted her teeth and applied pressure to his wound to stop the bleeding with trembling hands while fishing her phone out to dial the emergency number.
“Quick! Someone has been injured on the beach! Someone's hurt! “
Joshua's bleeding made her eyes feel wet and hot. She was so agitated she could not even speak clearly.
“T-The b-beach, you...will be able to see it once you reach it. I-I b-beg of y-you, p-please be quick...“
The operator on the other end of the line paused for a while.
“The beach? A man already called for an emergency ten minutes ago. Our ambulance is almost reaching. Please hold on.“
Luna was stunned. lo minutes ago...
Joshua was probably only hurt less than one minute ago!
Luna could not think that far. She immediately hung up the call and pressed on Joshua's wound with both hands hard. “Joshua, you have to hold on! “
Perhaps Joshua heard Luna's voice. Joshua, whose eyes had been shut feebly, slowly opened his eyes.
Through his blurry view, he saw Luna's anxious- looking petite face. He slowly opened his mouth and said something to her.
His voice was too weak, the sounds of the wind and waves by the beach overpowered him. Luna could not hear what he said.
She bit her lips and immediately placed her ears closer toward him. This time, she finally heard him clearly.
He said, “H—Ha...p—py B—Birthday.“
Those two simple words made her tears fall uncontrollably once again.
She wiped away her tears. Her face was stained with his blood. “Read the room! Why are you still wishing me a happy birthday at such a time? If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me...“
He would not have become this way. Joshua's old injury was because of her. His new injury was also because she left the birthday party and he was alone there. That was why he got hurt.
Still, he was wishing her a happy birthday! She was not worthy of his wishes! Not worthy!
Looking at her tears falling, Joshua smiled feebly. “I - I'm sorry. The...f-first time celebrating your birthday
Then this happened. If he knew better, he should not have listened to Nellie's stupid ideas.
Luna's tears kept falling. She kept crying and did not dare to touch the knife on his body. She could only press on where it was bleeding to try to lessen the bleeding.
“Joshua. If you really feel sorry, you will hold on and live! I will still have many birthdays in the future. If this time doesn't work, you'll celebrate the next one for me, alright?
“I won't get mad at any arrangements you made. I 'll cooperate with you. Please? Please hold on. Hold on until my next birthday, please?“
Looking at him, her tears mixed his blood. They were looking extremely wretched.
Joshua chuckled bitterly. He reached out and touched her face.
“I'll...try...“
Finally, the sirens of the ambulance could be heard by the beach. Luna stood up and waved at the ambulance excitedly.
The ambulance stopped and Joshua was finally put on the stretcher and lifted into the ambulance.
At the same time, a few other bodyguards who were out cold in the distance had been placed in the ambulance too.
From the beach to the hospital, Luna held onto Joshua's hand tightly. She kept talking to him non - stop.
The doctor said to keep him conscious and not let him pass out nor go into shock. If not, his life would be in danger.
Therefore, Luna kept talking into his ears.
”Joshua, I know everything. I believe that you don't like Fiona.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1132
“You did it for Nigel, right? Why did you not tell me earlier? If you would have told me, I wouldn't have misunderstood you. I wouldn't have hated you, I wouldn't even...have let the things that happened today happen.“
Joshua smiled with difficulty. “But, back then...I hoped that you would hate me.“
Back then, Joshua thought that Neil had truly died. He thought that there would always be Neil's death between Luna and him. They were irreconcilable.
Under such a situation, to get her to hate him and leave him was the best option. However, at that moment...
Joshua used his final remaining strength and grabbed hold of Luna's hand.
“Now, I hope that you and I could...for Neil...have a fake marriage.“ Joshua spat those words out with difficulty and closed his eyes.
Luna was completely taken aback. Joshua mentioned a fake marriage. Turns out, all this while, when he asked her to marry her it was just a fake marriage, yet Luna misunderstood his intentions. She thought the worst of him.
Luna gritted her teeth. Tears fell once more.
“I'm sorry...I'm sorry! “ She had to apologize to him for many things. Too many things.
Joshua smiled. “All this while, I should be the one to say sorry...“
Both of them apologized to each other back and forth when the ambulance reached the hospital. Joshua was pushed into the operation theater. Luna was sitting alone by the operation theater entrance. Looking at the sign. Her heart was extremely broken. It was sufferable.
“Ma'am.“ Lucas immediately rushed out of the elevator. He almost fell to the ground frantically.
“Is Mr. Lynch alright?“
Luna shook her head. She lifted her head and looked at Lucas. “Where were you just now?“
Lucas sighed and sat on the floor looking disheveled. He blamed himself and hit his head while saying depressingly, “After you left the beach, all the guests left too. Nellie felt that she had made a mistake that has caused a rift between you and Mr. Lynch. She kept crying and won't stop no matter how we coaxed her.
“Mr. Lynch's body was not in a great shape too, he could not keep coaxing her, so he got me to personally send princess Nellie and Young Master Nigel back to the Blue Bay Villa.
“I was afraid that the bodyguards won't be able to coax Nellie and things might happen on the journey home, so I arranged for a few bodyguards to stay back and guard Mr. Lynch while I sent the children back.
“Once we were in Blue Bay Villa, Nellie refused to go to bed no matter what. I promised her that I would get you back and made sure you would reconcile with Mr. Lynch, then only did she let me leave.
“Then, when I came out from Blue Bay Villa, I heard that Mr. Lynch got into an accident..."
Lucas kept hitting his own head. “It's my fault. I didn't protect Mr. Lynch. I should not have agreed to him and let him have that cortisone shot, nor let him prepare the birthday party without any regard for his injuries. I should not have left him alone..."
Luna sat in the same spot, looking at Lucas's reaction. Her heart ached.
After a while, Lucas stopped and looked at Luna closely.
“Ma'am, you're the first one to reach the beach when Mr. Lynch met with the incident. Did you..." Lucas took a deep breath. “Did you see anyone suspicious?"
Luna paused for a while. A suspicious person?
Instantly, a chill ran down her spine. That was because the only person she saw at the beach was Neil.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1133
Joshua was in the operation theater being resuscitated for the entire night. The next day at four in the morning, he was being pushed out from the operation theater. He was still unconscious.
Luna had not slept for the entire night. When he was no longer in danger and was pushed to the ward, Luna still remained by his side next to his bed. She was not willing to leave him alone for a single moment.
Lucas had tried multiple times to persuade her to head home to rest, but she refused.
“Joshua. “ Luna held Joshua's hand. Her voice was hoarse and weak. “I used to think that no one would care for my children as much as me in this world. I never have thought...“
The Joshua that she had always been complaining of being heartless and inhumane...
He would actually do so many things for his children behind her back. Luna did not understand and was unaware of his doings. She only misunderstood him, blamed him, and thought of him as the extremely vicious bad guy.
Therefore, as a punishment, she had to keep watch by his side and not leave him alone for a moment.
Luna hoped that the first person Joshua saw when he woke up was her. The first thing that he should hear is her apology. If not, Luna's guilty conscience will eat her up.
10 in the morning, Lucas brought Nigel and Nellie over. When Nellie saw the unconscious Joshua, tears could not help but fall, “It's my fault! It's all my fault! If I did not insist on using Nigel and I going missing to attract Mommy to the beach, last night would not have turned out this way! Daddy would not be sitting by the beach watching the fireworks in disappointment and getting hurt in the end! It's all my fault!
“When I was planning the birthday party last night, Daddy said that we are too important to you and we should not play pranks like pretending to go missing. He said that Mommy would get angry.
“But I thought that even if you got angry when you saw the birthday surprise we threw for you, your anger would instantly die down.“
Then, Nellie looks at Luna with a tear-stricken face.
“Mommy, please don't blame Daddy. It's my fault. I was the one that planned everything yesterday. I was the one that insisted on it. Daddy actually cared a lot about how you feel, but he could not stand my crying and tantrum, that was why...“
Luna bit her lips. She reached one hand out and ruffled Nellie's head. The other hand was still holding Joshua tightly.
The night before, Christian told her that she did not understand Joshua at all. At that time, she even retorted saying that no one understood Joshua more than her in this world.
Up until that moment only then did she realize she truly did not understand Joshua well enough.
She did not understand how much he treasured her and the children. She also did not know how much he understood her and how much he cared for her.
All this while, Luna thought that he was lying to her, that he was finding an excuse for his heartlessness.
At that moment only then did Luna realize how wrong she was.
“Uncle Lucas.“ Nigel, who had been silent by the side, sighed and looked at Lucas. “This morning I already told you to send someone to check on the surveillance footage by the beach. Did you do it?“
“Y—Yes.“
Nigel furrowed his brows. “Then did you find out who was the one that hurt Daddy?“
Lucas has checked the surveillance footage on the road along the beach, but he only saw a few cars. He could not even see the people in the car. The shops by the beaches all had surveillance, but because they were not connected to the internet, Lucas had to send his men door-to-door to check.
Lucas looked at Nigel, then looked at Luna. Once he got a look from Luna, he cleared his throat.
“No.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1134
Nigel noticed the reactions of both adults. He slightly furrowed his brows.
“Is there...“ He said with hesitation, “Is there something Nellie and I can't know about?“
Lucas paused for a while before shaking his head immediately. “No, no! “
Looking at her son's suspicious expression, Luna helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows.
Sometimes, children who are too smart might not be a good thing too.
Luna took a deep breath and ruffled Nigel's head. “As for who stabbed Joshua, Lucas and I will investigate it. At the same time, we have to wait for him to wake up and tell us. What you need to do now is not to investigate this, but take good care of your sister.“
Nigel pursed his lips. He turned to look at Nellie, whose eyes had been puffed up and reddened from crying. Nigel sighed. He knew that he would not be able to get anything out of Lucas and Luna.
Thus, he jumped down from his chair, reached out, and grabbed Nellie's hand.
“Let's go home.“
Nellie's voice was hoarse from crying. She shook her head furiously. “No! I don't want to! I want to stay with Mommy and look after Daddy! I...“
“Nellie! “ Nigel interrupted Nellie's cries with a stern face. “It's already very hard on Mommy for staying here. If you stayed here, not only could you do nothing, you would distract Mommy. If you fell ill, Mommy would feel even more terrible. That would not help Mr. Lynch get better one bit. Follow me home.“
Nellie rarely saw Nigel being that serious. She bit her lips. In the end, she stopped her crying and reached out to grab Nigel's arm in an aggrieved manner.
“Then...then I'll follow you back.“
“Hmm.“ Nigel calmly responded, then turned to look at Luna. “Although I'm only six, I'm already quite mature. I hope you could treat us as adults and share with us if there is anything. Don't hide it from us.“
Then, Nigel pulled Nellie and strode away.
Luna sat on the chair, looking at her son and daughter leaving. Her fingernails dug into her palm.
Once both of them entered the elevator, Lucas finally let out a long sigh. He sat down by the chair.
“Ma'am, actually...we did find the surveillance.“
Luna bit her lips. She turned to look at Lucas seriously. “It's Neil, right?“
Lucas was stunned for a moment before nodding heavily. “Yes. Only he approached Mr. Lynch. The surveillance did not capture what happened on Mr. Lynch's side, but before you arrived, only Neil approached Mr. Lynch.“
Then, Lucas sighed and said, “What happened to Young Master Neil? When he stayed with Mr. Lynch, he was quite friendly with him, how could this..."
Luna held onto Joshua's hand. She looked at his handsome and cold face. She sighed heavily.
“Neil...has forgotten everything about the past."
Not only did he not remember the past, he even treated Aura as his family. Luna believed that even if Neil harmed Joshua the night before, he did it out of desperation and not his own volition.
She knew her children the best.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1135
“Nigel, when do you think Daddy will wake up?“
Coming out from the hospital and returning to the Blue Bay Villa, Nellie slumped on the sofa aggrievedly. Sad tears kept falling involuntarily.
Nigel looked at her calmly. He sighed. “As long as he is no longer in danger, he will wake up. It's just a matter of time.“
Then, Nigel turned to look at Nellie. “Don't you think the most important thing at that moment is to find out who hurt Daddy?“
Nellie pursed her lips. “It must be a killer sent by some bad guys or something.“
“Impossible.“ Nigel's eyes narrowed. “The surveillance footage I saw, only two cars went to look for Mr. Lynch. Excluding the driver, they had less than ten people with them. Mr. Lynch had about four to five amazing bodyguards.
“Also, other than the people closest to Mr. Lynch, no one knew about him being injured. Even Mommy did not know that he was injured. The bad guys would definitely not know about it.
“If Mr. Lynch was not injured, he could fight well too. They would not be able to harm him so easily.“
Nellie was confused listening to Nigel. She scratched her head. “Nigel, what on earth do you mean?“
Nigel narrowed his eyes. “I mean, the men that they prepared were just enough to only tackle the bodyguards around Mr. Lynch. They did not arrange for someone to go up against Mr. Lynch.“
Nigel touched his chin and analyzed it in an adult manner. “So, the person that harmed Mr. Lynch must be someone who could approach him and hurt him unexpectedly.“
Nellie blinked her eyes. “There are not many people like that who would do this.“
“Yes.“ Nigel closed his eyes. “Actually, I could think of one person...“
“Neil.“
Nellie's eyes instantly widened. “Neil? Impossible! How could this be possible! “ She bit her lips. Tears were still on her face. She could not help but help stand up for Neil.
“Neil would never do such a thing! I know him the best! He is the best person on this earth! “
Then, she thought of the surveillance footage she saw the other day. Thus, Nellie bit her lips. “M- Maybe the person we saw the other day was not Neil, only someone that looked like him! “
Nigel sighed. He walked over and gently hugged Nellie around her shoulders. “Nellie. Stop lying to yourself. There would not be another person that looks exactly like me in this world besides Neil. His looks, age, and even movements look alike.“
Nellie looked at Nigel, tears silently fell from her face. “If Neil was the one that hurt Daddy, I will never forgive him! “
Nigel sighed, “But the thing we need to do now is to make sure whether if it was him or not."
In the suite on the top floor of a five -star hotel in Banyan City.
Neil was kneeling in front of Aura. His gaze was serious. “Mother, I have already done according to your request, to hurt Joshua. I've done the things you wanted me to do. Can you let Uncle Theo go now?"
Aura, with her legs crossed, elegantly picked up her glass of red wine and took a sip. Then, she lowered her gaze and looked at Neil, who was kneeling on the floor, condescendingly.
“I heard that in less than a minute after you left the night before, an ambulance took Joshua away."
Aura gracefully placed the glass of red wine down on her table. She sneered.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1136
“Did you call the ambulance?“ Neil was silent for a while. “No.“
“You dare say no?“ Aura instantly frowned upon Neil's words. Her gaze was resentful.
“The person that called on your behalf has already admitted to it! Jake Landry. You're smart. You did not call the ambulance yourself, but you got the
bodyguard who went along with your call for you!
“Joshua was barely injured for three minutes then he was rescued! Didn't I tell you that I want him almost dead on the beach? You only stabbed him once and called the ambulance in time. Is he your family or am I your family?“
Neil remained kneeling on the floor. He did not lift his head.
“Mother, when I went there, I saw a stab wound on his body. It was deep as well. He also said that he purposely went for a cortisone shot to celebrate someone's birthday. That was why he looked
normal. I saw how weak he looked, so I only stabbed him once and called for the ambulance...“
Neil took a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked at Aura calmly.
“You have also said before that Joshua is my father. We came back to Banyan City to get rid of Luna and her two children so that we can be reunited with Joshua.
“You only wanted to teach him a lesson, to let him know that you and I have returned, that's all. When I saw his injuries, I thought if I were too cruel, he would have lost his life on the spot, that was why I held back.“
Then, Neil bit his lips.
“We cannot let Joshua Lynch die at this moment, if not, I won't be able to inherit his fortune, you would not be able to kick Luna away to become the true Mrs. Lynch too, mother. What do you say?“
Aura's anger dissipated upon Neil's words. “That's more like it.“
She harrumphed coldly, fished a set of keys from her pocket, and threw it at Neil. “This is the key to the room where Theo is being locked up in. Go.“
When she threw the keys, it directly hit Neil in the face. There was a red gash on Neil's fair skin. The edge of the keys even poked him in the corner of his eyes.
However, it was as if he felt nothing. He picked the keys up and slowly stood up. “Thank you, mother.“
Then, he turned and left.
Aura leaned back on the chair, looking at Neil leaving. She sneered, “This time, I'll let Theo go. If he still dares to contact the outside world without my permission and escapes, I won't be so merciful anymore.“
Neil stopped in his tracks. He clenched his fists tightly. “I understand.“
Neil closed his eyes. “What you said before still counts, right?"
Aura furrowed her brows. “What?"
“You previously said..." Neil took a deep breath. His voice was rather hoarse. “You said that if I were to obey you and do whatever you asked, helping you get rid of Luna and her two children, helping you become Mrs. Lynch and have a right to the inheritance to the Lynch Group...
“You would let Uncle Theo go so that he could reunite with his family. Does all this still count?" Aura paused for a while, then she smiled. “Of course. As long as you help me get everything that I want, I'll be merciful and let that idiot go home."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1137
Squeak!
The iron door of the old warehouse was pushed open with a piercing sound.
Neil pushed the door open and switched on the lights. He was in an abandoned warehouse filled with a moldy and rusty smell. The moment he turned on the light, he could see the dust particles in the air.
Neil furrowed his brows and covered his mouth and nose. He strode in.
The ground was covered in dust and hay. The dirty- looking Theo was being tied to an iron pole on the ground. His face was covered in dried -up blood and bruises.
Feeling the piercing light in his eyes, Theo instinctively cowered. After a while, when he saw that no one came to beat him up nor did the other person make any movements, only then did he slowly lift his head.
The moment he saw that it was Neil, his eyes brightened.
He opened his mouth and spat out in an extremely hoarse voice. “Neil...“
Neil sighed. He walked over, bent down, and cut the rope tying Theo. He said, “You better still call me Jake. Although I like this name, mother does not like it. You better not call me that in the future, in case she uses this as an opportunity to torture you.“
Theo's gaze was a little emotional. He sighed and continued saying, “Jake, why are you here?“
“If I don't come to see you, should I just leave you to die here?“ Neil rolled his eyes at Theo, then he took some food out of his backpack and stuffed it in Theo's hands.
Theo, who had been starved for a few days, immediately munched on the bread. His eyes sparkled.
Neil sighed while taking the first aid kit out of his bag and disinfecting Theo's wounds. He sighed a little and said, “Uncle Theo, weren't you living quite well with us? Why did you try to escape and contact the outside world? Don't you know that my mother... has a bad temper?“
Theo, who was eating bread, suddenly stopped.
After a while, he laughed bitterly, “Didn't I tell you before, I have my own family.“
A few days ago, he saw the news that Nathan and Celeste Allen came to Banyan City again to sign the next season of agreement with the Lynch Group.
They were in Banyan City for two days.
After the accident, those two days had been the closest he had been with his parents. He even knew that they were staying in the hotel two blocks away from him.
Back then, Theo did not like his parents. He thought that they were too pedantic.
However...
Who could truly let go of their family?
Therefore, he wanted to find a chance to run away, to secretly contact his parents, but Aura found out.
She got her men to beat him up and locked him
there. She said she was going to starve him to death. Neil sighed.
After a while, he looked at Theo with a firm gaze. “ Uncle Theo, you have saved my life before. If you want to reunite with your family, I will help you.
Mother has already agreed to change you to a better place to let you recuperate.
“A-After I finish everything that she asked of me, she will let you go.“
Theo was stunned. He could roughly guess what Aura was asking Neil to do. Theo furrowed his brows hard. “Jake, you don't need to... I can do it myself...“
“Uncle Theo.“ Neil held Theo's hand.
“I quite envy you that you still have other family members. They must have treated you well right, that is why you can't forget them, not like me...
“You have a family and you could go somewhere else. You will live happily in the future. Me, on the other hand...“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1138
He sighed, “I get it. Even if my mother gets what she wants in the future, she would still not like me. She would still hit me and scold me, treating me as her burden. However, she is my mother. I will never be able to escape this in my entire life. So, I will try my best to make sure you get your happiness.“
Theo was utterly stunned at Neil's words. He bit his lips.
“Jake, actually, this is not the case. Aura...“
Joshua had been lying on the bed in the hospital ward for six days.
For the past six days, Luna had not left him at all, keeping watch by his side.
The doctor said that although Joshua was no longer in danger if he did not gain consciousness within a week, the chances of him gaining consciousness would be much less.
He was likely to be in a vegetative state who can only lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life.
“Luna, have some food. You're gone thin.“
In the room, Anne looked at the haggard -looking Luna, she sighed a little. In a mere six days, Luna had already lost a lot of weight. She looked worn-down.
Whether it was Lucas, Anne, Bonnie, or Gwen who came to talk to her, Luna did not leave Joshua at all.
It was worrying to be in such a state. Although the doctor has said that Joshua had huge chances of gaining consciousness before that night...
However, everyone knew. If Joshua could wake up easily, he would have long since woken up. Why wait until the last few hours of the last day?
Luna did not accept Anne's banana. She only lowered her head and looked at the time on her phone.
“It's three in the afternoon now. There is still two to three hours before the time the doctors indicated.“
Luna lifted her head and smiled at Anne. Her smile was bright, yet it looked fragile too. “I won't eat anything yet. I'll eat with Joshua once he gains consciousness.“
Anne was even more heartbroken at Luna's reaction. She walked over and gently grabbed Luna's hand. “ Luna, have you ever thought, if...if Joshua does not gain consciousness for the rest of his life. What are you going to do?“
Luna slowly lowered her head upon Anne's words. After a while, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Luna hugged Anne tightly. “I don't know, Anne, I don't know.
“I don't know what to do anymore. Back then, I could boldly claim that Joshua owed it to me, that I hated him. His death would be karma. But, right now...he treated Fiona well because of Neil. He almost died in Yellowstone Village because of Neil.
“Those first few stabs happened because he took the fall for me being ambushed. This stab, later on, was very possibly done by Neil who lost his memory..."
Luna's tears soaked through Anne's clothes. “He ended up like that because of us, because of me and my children. If he really doesn't wake up, does that mean he won't be able to hear our apologies? Does that mean I can't apologize to him for the rest of my life?"
Anne hugged Luna. She wanted to say something to comfort Luna, but she could not find her words. In the end, she could only hug Luna tightly. Letting Luna cry and letting it all out.
“Let me in! I want to go in!"
At that moment, a loud argument came from outside.
Luna recognized that the voice belonged to Joshua's father, Adrian. She let go of Anne, wiped her tears, and stood up. Luna was just about to walk to the door to have a look when the door was kicked open from the outside.
Adrian, whom she had not seen in a long while, entered angrily.
Slap!
He slapped Luna violently on the face.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1139
Adrian, who just barged in, glared at Luna. “What did you do to my son? I have only left Banyan City for more than a month, yet he's already in bed, his life hanging by the thread! I heard that he turned out this way all because of you! You unlucky demon! “
Adrian's still smelt of the cold breeze and antiseptic. Clearly, he had rushed over from the airport.
Luna stumbled backward a few steps due to the slap. Both legs hit the sides of Joshua's bed brutally. The excruciating pain made her bend down. She could not stand straight.
Anne, behind her, quickly came over to help Luna up. “Luna, are you alright?“
Luna shook her head. Her left cheek was already swollen. There was a man's handprint on the swollen part of her cheek. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
“You're fine? “ Adrian harrumphed coldly. Then, he walked over to Luna. “It looks like I hit you too lightly! “
Then, he raised his hand and swung it at Luna once more.
Anne furrowed her brows and immediately reached her hands out. She wanted to grab hold of Adrian's wrist. However, she was too weak. Facing a raging middle-aged man like Adrian, Anne's strength was futile.
Adrian harrumphed coldly, “You overestimate yourself.” He flung Anne's thin body to the side.
Then, he raised his hand again, swinging it at Luna. Thankfully, Zach and Yuri rushed forward at that moment. They seized hold of Adrian, one on each side. If they did not do that, Luna and Anne were no match for him!
Being seized by Zach and Yuri, Adrian swept a glance at Joshua on the bed, whose eyes were shut, sleeping peacefully. Instantly, his rage flared up once again. Adrian glared at Luna fiercely. ”My son turned out this way because of you! How dare you still show yourself here? Leave ! Leave at once ! ”
Anne helped Luna up. Luna slowly returned to her chair with difficulty. Before she could say anything, the room door was pushed open.
Lucas hurriedly entered. ”Ma'am, I heard... ”
When he saw Adrian, Lucas stopped what he was saying. ”Master Lynch.”
Adrian looked at Luna, then looked at Lucas. He furrowed his brows tightly. ”What did you call her? Ma'am?”
He turned to look at Luna suspiciously. ”You got married to Joshua?”
Luna paused for a while. She shook her head. ”No.”
Upon receiving Luna's answer, Adrian harrumphed coldly, ”Thank goodness Joshua did not marry this woman ! If not, if anything were to happen to Joshua, she would take away most of Lynch's fortune!
”Thank goodness I came back in time. If I came back any later , this woman might sneakily do something to change the Lynch Group to the Luna Group! All while Joshua is passed out!"
Luna secretly clenched her fists by her side upon Adrian's words.
“I see that you came back to Banyan City this time not to visit your sick son. You're hoping that he meets in an accident so that you could inherit Lynch's fortune, is that it?"
Adrian had been beating her and yelling at her from the moment he entered. At that moment, he kept talking about the Lynch Group's assets.
From the beginning, he never asked a single question about how Joshua was doing, nor did he look at him.
In his eyes, Joshua, his own son, was not as important as the Lynch Group assets.
Adrian was infuriated instantly when Luna exposed his intentions.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1140
He glared at Luna furiously. “What nonsense are you talking about? Joshua is my son! How could I not care for him and only care about money! Let me tell
you, now that Joshua is unconscious, I 'm in charge.
“You better watch what you say. If not, I'll chase you out right now and you will never be able to see Joshua for the rest of your life! “
Luna narrowed her eyes. She reached out and grabbed Joshua's hands tightly. He remained lying in bed quietly with his eyes closed tight.
He could not hear their arguments, nor see how she was being bullied by his father.
Seeing how Luna said nothing anymore, Adrian coldly shrugged Zach and Yuri off. He sat on the sofa by the side, crossing his legs like a high and mighty ruler.
“Lucas. Watch your words in the future. They are not married yet. How could you call her Ma'am? Call her Luna! “
Lucas was silent for a while. He lowered his head. “
Yes, Master Lynch.“
Adrian sneered, “Also, I 'm going to let the fact that you listen to this woman before I come back go. Now that I'm back, before Joshua wakes up, I'm in charge of the Lynch family. Tell me, what's going on? Why did you rush in here in such a hurry?“
“Yes. A mother and son intruded into Blue Bay Villa.
They said... ” Lucas carefully looked at Adrian, then continued stiffly, ”They said that they were Mr. Adrian Lynch's son and wife. Now that something had happened to Joshua, the Lynch house belongs to them. They seized the Blue Bay Villa by force. They said...they wanted to chase Young Master Nigel and Ms. Nellie away. They called them b*stards... ”
Luna's eyes instantly widened upon Lucas' words. She felt her anger flaring up. She turned to look at Adrian furiously. ”You brought people back?”
Adrian furrowed his brows and sighed softly, ”Why did they go so quickly? I've already told them to go later ! How impatient ! ”
Luna paused for a while. At that moment, she finally understood. No wonder Adrian was not willing to return to Banyan City for so many years ! It turned out that he had a wife and a son abroad.
This time, he must have heard that Joshua's situation was not good, so he brought his wife and son back, trying to take away Joshua's fortune!
Luna gritted her teeth. She turned to look at Lucas. ”Call the police. Tell them that they are trespassing! "
Lucas paused for a while before nodding immediately. ”Okay.”
”Hold up! ” Adrian furrowed his brows. He immediately stood up to stop Lucas. ”Why are you calling the police? What trespassing are you talking about? My younger son is just being a guest at my older son's house. How is that trespassing?”
”Is that so?” Luna sneered, ”By law, entering without the owner's permission is considered trespassing. If I remembered correctly..."
Luna lowered her eyes and swept Joshua a gaze. “The owner of Blue Bay Villa is Joshua. Unless you can make Joshua wake up right now and get his permission to let your illegitimate son enter Blue Bay Villa. If not, he is trespassing! ”
“You!" Adrian was aggravated. He furiously raised his hand and rushed to Luna. “It looks like I hit you too softly! " Just when Adrian's slap was about to land on Luna's face, a pale, sweaty hand reached out and clasped hold of Adrian's hand.
