Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1271

Adrian glared at Joshua and strode forward to approach the doctor. “How is she, doctor?“

“Don't worry, she's out of danger, “ the doctor replied. He let out a sigh, glanced first at Adrian, then at Joshua. “It's just that she's unconscious now, and from my speculation, the earliest she'll regain consciousness is in about 6 hours.“

The doctor's words made Adrian's heart skip a beat. “ Then...how about the worst-case scenario?“

The doctor shook his head but did not say anything in response.

The color drained from Adrian's face, and he took a step back.

No answer. This meant Granny Lynch might not even wake up at all.

How could this happen? He had not had the chance to fake her will yet. Joshua was the one who possessed ownership over the entire Lynch family fortune, and even taking a small sum of money from him would be extremely difficult. If Granny Lynch died without a will, Adrian knew that he would not have a single chance to inherit any fortune from the family!

Adrian turned around and gave Joshua a murderous glare. “It's all your fault! “

As soon as he said this, he fell into a brief silence and suddenly recalled that Aura still had the antidote.

If he managed to get the antidote, Granny Lynch would be able to regain consciousness soon.

As soon as he thought of this, Adrian took a deep breath and turned to leave without even giving Granny Lynch, who was wheeled out of the emergency room, a second glance.

”What a good-for -nothing b*stard. ” Jude snapped as he shot Adrian's retreating figure a murderous look. Then, after a moment, he turned around.

Joshua was standing next to Granny Lynch's bed, holding onto her hand with red-rimmed eyes.

His penetrating gaze was fixated on Granny Lynch's face, the sadness and regret in his eyes so deep that it seemed endless.

Jude sighed, went up to Joshua, and gave him a few pats on his back.

”He's right. It's all my fault, ” muttered Joshua as he stared at Granny Lynch's pale face and closed eyes. ” I always thought Granny was a mentally strong person. If I don't let her know what kind of person Adrian and Celia are, she'll never be awakened from the truth and keep on thinking that this was the kind of family I needed to be around after she died.”

As he said this, Joshua gently stroked Granny Lynch's wrinkled face. ”I guess to me, family isn't that important at all. Who would've thought such a useless man as Adrian would mean so much to Granny... ”

All these years, Adrian had never been a reliable person. He never contributed to any of Lynch Group's work, and he had never taken up a father's responsibility.

Joshua thought Granny Lynch had already gotten used to this and had been disappointed in him for a long time, but to his surprise...

Jude did not know how to console Joshua, so all he could do was let out a sigh and reply, “Maybe the older people get, the more they'll value family.“

After a few more check-ups to make sure Granny Lynch's condition had stabilized, Joshua followed the doctor as they wheeled her into the ICU.

After coming out from the ICU, Joshua made sure the doctor gave Nellie, who was poisoned too, a check-up as well.

Once confirmed that Nellie was fine, Joshua let out a sigh of relief and asked Jude to send Nellie and Nigel back to Lynch Mansion before giving Bonnie a call.

He had been busy almost all night. Despite this, he had not forgotten about the woman who was alone and sad in the bar because of Adrian.

At this moment, Bonnie and Anne had already moved a drunken Luna from the bar to a hotel room upstairs.

When Joshua entered through the door, a drunken Luna was clinging to Anne, sobbing and laughing at the same time. “Joshua... How could you let me suspect you? Why didn't you explain to me what was going on?“

Joshua let out a helpless sigh, walked up to Anne, and pulled Luna out of her arms and into his. “How could I possibly explain if you never even asked me? Hmm/“

He held her tightly and managed to coax her onto the bed.

Anne and Bonnie exchanged glances, then left the room unanimously.

”Luna. ” Joshua pulled her close to him and closed his eyes as he inhaled the scent of her hair.

He was not the same as Adrian.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1272

After what happened with Granny Lynch, Joshua could not possibly not worry and not blame himself.

Most importantly, he felt guilty for what had happened.

Ever since he was young, Granny taught him to have a strong heart. Growing up, all he saw was Granny's cold personality and strong mentality.

He never expected that one day...Granny Lynch would become so frail and weak.

Luna seemed to sense Joshua's emotions and suddenly quieted down.

She bit her lip, turned around, and wrapped her arms around Joshua. “You still have me with you...“

A sleepless night.

The following morning, Luna woke up as soon as the sun rose. She opened her eyes and let out a yawn.

She looked around at the foreign environment she was in and frowned.

Just as she was about to get up and use the bathroom, she suddenly realized that there were someone else's arms wrapped around her. Even though she could not see his face, she knew immediately who it was.

Luna furrowed her brows.

When did Joshua get here? Did he not go for a dinner date with Aura last night?

All Luna remembered was that she had gone drinking with Bonnie and Anne.

Joshua probably sensed Luna's movement and slowly let go of her, his brows furrowed. As soon as he released her, he rolled over to face the other direction.

Luna was able to move again, but she was still very much confused about the whole situation. She got up, grabbed her phone, and went into the bathroom.

Initially, Luna wanted to give either Bonnie or Anne a call, but she was bombarded with a seemingly endless stream of messages as soon as she switched her phone on.

Anne had sent her a voice message.

Luna furrowed her brows and pressed play. Joshua's low voice rang out through the phone...

Luna's eyes widened in shock. Adrian was the mastermind behind Jason's escape six years ago?

All of a sudden, Luna came to a realization, and she knocked on her head.

How could she forget that there were two 'Mr. Lynch '? There was only one other person besides Joshua...

Luna let out an exhale and played the message once more.

The truth had finally surfaced.

She bit down on her lip and played the message again.

“You should know that this happened shortly after Luna's accident.

“I had lost my entire world and was not in a good mental state for a while.“

Luna felt a surge of warmth spread through her heart as soon as she heard these two sentences uttered in Joshua's low voice.

She exited the chat box with Anne, blushing.

The message at the top of the screen was from Nigel. Luna immediately frowned and opened it.

Nigel used a serious and short text to describe what had happened at Lynch Mansion and Granny Lynch the night before.

After learning what had happened, Luna was so shocked that she was rendered speechless for a long time.

Right at that moment, her phone rang. It was an unknown number. She frowned and answered the call.

“Hello, I'm Alfred, the butler from Lynch Mansion. I'm at the hospital now. Are you free to stop by?

Granny Lynch had awoken, and the first thing she said when she woke up was that she wanted to see you.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1273

The call from Alfred came as a surprise to Luna. “Are you sure... Granny Lynch wanted to see me?“ she asked.

In recent years, Luna and Granny Lynch's relationship had been complicated. Back when she was Luna Gibson, the moment she married Joshua, Granny Lynch treated her like an enemy, with nothing but hatred. She tried all kinds of ways to make Luna's life difficult, intending to drive her out of the Lynch family.

After Luna suffered her accident, underwent plastic surgery, changed her identity to Luna, and brought Neil and Nellie back to Banyan City, Granny Lynch thought she had bad intentions and even helped Aura make Luna's life difficult, too.

Shortly after that... Granny Lynch discovered that she was the same person as Luna Gibson, and as soon as she found out about the things had gone through, she changed her opinion. She no longer mistreated her, and she sometimes even stood up for Luna.

However, none of these changed the dynamic of their relationship, and they did not grow closer at all, to the extent that Granny Lynch would want to see her as soon as she woke up.

“Yes, Ms. Luna, you heard me correctly,“ Alfred replied in a solemn tone. “Granny Lynch requested to see you.“

Luna was stunned. However, she did not hesitate and immediately replied, “Alright, I'll be on my way. “

As soon as she hung up the phone, she let out an exhale. Then, after washing her face quickly, she turned around and strode out of the bathroom.

Outside the bathroom, Joshua had already woken up. At this moment, he was leaning against the headboard in exhaustion, checking his phone.

As soon as he saw Luna coming out of the bathroom, he smiled and said, “Granny is awake.“

Luna nodded. “I know. I wanted to visit her. Can you drive me over?“

She did not mention to him that it was Granny Lynch that wanted to see her because she did not want him to overthink this.

A glimmer of surprise flashed across Joshua's face. Then, after a moment, he chuckled and got up immediately. He went into the bathroom to freshen up, then took Luna to the hospital.

To both their surprise.... As soon as they got off the hospital elevator, the first person they saw standing outside Granny Lynch's ward was Aura.

When Aura heard their footsteps coming from the elevator, she turned around and saw Joshua and Luna together.

Aura furrowed her brows at this sight. Then, she strode toward the two of them and gave Luna a cold glare. “I wondered why Joshua wasn't home this morning. Now I know it's because someone tried to seduce him.“

Aura grabbed onto Joshua's arm and gave Luna a triumphant look. “Oh, don't you know? This man is mine now.

“Luna, please be mindful and keep your distance from Joshua and me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude when I chase you out of Blue Bay Villa! “ Aura warned.

Luna could not help curling her lips into a smile when she heard this. “What makes you think you'll be the one chasing me out? What if it's the opposite way round?“

Aura frowned and turned to Joshua with a pitiful expression. “Joshua! Look how she talks to me! She even wants to chase me out of Blue Bay Villa! “

Joshua feigned disapproval and lifted his head to shoot Luna a cold glance. “Aren't you here to see Granny Lynch? Why don't you go in first?“

With that, he turned to leave, pulling Aura along behind him. “Have you had your breakfast?“ he asked.

“No, I haven't...“ Aura replied.

Luna remained motionless e as Joshua and Aura's voices faded away. Finally, she let out a sigh of relief and walked into the ward.

It had been a while since she last saw Granny Lynch. At that moment, Granny Lynch was lying on the bed, and she looked paler than the wall behind her. Her entire face was covered in wrinkles, as though she had aged ten years since the last time they met.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1274

“Luna. “ Granny Lynch sighed and slowly reached out to hold onto Luna's. “Do you blame me back when Granny treated you harshly?“ she asked.

Luna paused for a moment, then held onto her hand tightly and shook her head. “You're an elder to the family; you took care of Joshua for so many years. How could I ever blame you for anything?“

“I 'm not a responsible elder.“ Granny Lynch closed her eyes and sighed. “The truth is, you're a good kid. I hated you...because you looked too much like the woman that I hate. Just too alike...“

Granny Lynch let out a bitter smile. Then, she replied with a hoarse voice, “That woman, she's the reason why my daughter is dead. I 'll never forgive her.“

Luna frowned and asked dubiously, “Your...

daughter?“

“Yes.“ Granny Lynch sighed in sorrow. “Other than Joshua, I had a daughter. When she was 18, she fell in love with the wrong man, and they ran away together. Later, she was killed by that woman. When I managed to get her back, even the corpse wasn't complete...“

Granny Lynch closed her eyes, and tears started streaming from the corner of her eyes. “I hate that woman. When I saw your face, my first instinct was to hate you, and I did many things that I shouldn't have done, but one thing is clear. You're a good kid.

“Therefore, after I found out that the current Luna was the same person as Luna Gibson, I started to like you. It's just that...the things that happened in the past still created misunderstanding between us.“

Granny Lynch sighed and added, “Thankfully, all the misunderstandings are cleared now.“

When her body started to show problems, she knew very well that someone had poisoned her.

During that time, Granny Lynch assumed that the person who had returned from abroad and looked the same as the woman she detested was the person that poisoned her.

Therefore, Granny Lynch went to Joshua's house and claimed that Luna would eventually abandon Joshua and leave with the children. This was also why Granny Lynch pushed Joshua to grow closer with Adrian and Michael.

She understood too well...how important Luna was to Joshua. She was afraid that if Joshua found out Luna was the person who poisoned Granny Lynch, Joshua would be devastated.

However, when Joshua went to find Adrian the night before, the truth had been exposed. It turned out the person who had a relationship with the Landrys was Aura.

Luna pursed her lips. She did not ask any further questions on what made Granny Lynch have the misunderstanding against her. Instead, she held Granny Lynch's hand tightly and said, “As long as you believe me, that's good enough for me.“

“I believe you." Granny Lynch lifted her head to lock eyes with Luna. “I'm old now, and I can't take care of Joshua forever, but if you ask me, the only thing that prevents me from resting in peace is Joshua."

Granny Lynch let out an exhale and said in a low, hoarse voice, her foggy eyes still fixated on Luna's face, “Luna, can you promise me one thing?"

“Yes, tell me what it is."

“Joshua's father and brother have become distant from him. After I'm gone, and if you leave him, he'll be...very lonely.” Granny Lynch let out an exhale and continued, “No matter who you are or what you become in the future, please don't ever give up on Joshua."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1275

Luna's entire body stiffened. She gripped Granny Lynch's hand even tighter and reassured her, “Don't worry.“

“I...“ Luna paused and took a deep breath. Suddenly, the recent memories of Joshua appeared in her mind, from all the things that Joshua did for her to Joshua's voice from Anne's message.

These made her even more determined to commit to him, so she replied earnestly, “I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I'll never give up on Joshua.“

With the reassurance from Luna, Granny Lynch finally felt the sense of relief she wanted. She closed her eyes and let go of Luna's hand.

The machines around her started beeping. The doctors rushed into the room.

“The patient's condition is deteriorating! Get me some epinephrine! Non-medical personnel, please evacuate the room! “

Luna was pulled out of the room by Alfred. Soon after, Granny Lynch's bed was surrounded by doctors, trying to resuscitate her.

A drop of tear fell out of the corner of Luna's eye without warning.

Granny Lynch's condition had worsened yet, at the same time, she was also Joshua's closest family member.

Luna clenched both her fists, and she released

herself from Alfred's grip. “You wait here. I will get Dr. Janet.“

With that, she took a deep breath and got on the elevator.

Granny Lynch's condition could no longer wait. Luna had to gamble her luck.

Finally, she reached Dr. Janet's office and pushed open the door. “Dr. Janet, do you still remember what I told you?“

Dr. Janet raised her eyebrows and glanced at Luna. “To alter your body's physical state to that of a poisoned person's would cause a lot of health consequences. Are...you willing to undergo that?“

Luna nodded.

Dr. Janet lowered her head to glance at the medical profile Luna provided. “I don't care whether or not this method could get the antidote for Granny Lynch first. Even if we succeed in getting the antidote, her age and body condition cannot guarantee that she'll be healthy from here on out. Do you think it's worth it to make this sacrifice for an old lady who might not even live long enough to reap the benefits? Not to mention, she's not your family.“

Luna let out an exhale and replied, “But she's a relative of the most important person to me.“

To Joshua, Granny Lynch was his only family member. This meant that for Luna, she was family, too.

Even if it could only prolong her life for a year, this effort would be worthwhile.

Dr. Janet glanced at Luna and noticed the stubborn look in her eyes. She knew there was no way she could convince Luna to stop, so she had no choice but to relent. “Since you have decided, then let's do it. But I have to warn you of the outcome... You might need three to five years to recover back to the state you are in now. Can you accept this?“

Luna nodded earnestly. “Yes.“

Joshua brought Aura to the restaurant across the hospital to have breakfast.

Aura bombarded him with questions as though she was already his wife. “Last night...were you really at the office working?“

“No, I went to Lynch Mansion after that, and ever since Granny got admitted into the hospital, I've been taking care of her since.“

“Then how about Luna? Why did the both of you appear in the hospital together?“

“It was just a coincidence.“

“Then— “

Before Aura even got to finish her sentence, someone rushed into the restaurant. Lucas stormed into the restaurant in a panic and cried out, “Sir, something bad happened! “

Joshua furrowed his brows at this. “What happened?“

“Luna! “ Lucas was trying to catch his breath.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1276

“Luna is in the emergency room! Her situation is critical! “

A cold expression passed through Joshua's eyes. “ What happened to her?“

“I don't know! “ A confused Lucas was panicking. “ Doctor said her condition was worse than what happened to Courtney, just like...just like what happened to Granny Lynch!

“I just came out of the emergency room. The doctor wants me to find Luna's next of kin to sign the operation consent form, but I don't know who Luna's next of kin is, so I came to you! “

Lucas' panic made a hint of triumphed flash through Aura's heart. She immediately stood up and said, “ Why did you come to Joshua?

“Joshua and Luna have no relationship whatsoever. You might as well come to me instead. At least, I'm her sister.“

With that, she strode in the direction of the door and said, “Let's go. I'd like to see what happened to my dearest sister.“

Joshua's expression darkened as he watched Aura gracefully walk away. He quickly followed her and asked in a low voice, “What's going on? Is it that serious?“

Lucas was drenched in sweat. He wiped away the sweat on his head and replied in a hoarse voice, “Sir, I didn't lie to you. You told me before that if Luna pretended to be sick, I have to inform you as soon as possible and make it sound like it is worse than it is. I remembered it all, but this time...Luna doesn't seem like she is pretending.

“I saw her just now in the emergency room. She really looks like she's dying! “

Hearing this made Joshua stunned.

How did this happen? According to Luna's plan, she would pretend to get poisoned so that Aura would believe she's poisoned and willingly give the cure to Granny Lynch, so how did this happen?

As soon as he thought of this, Joshua furrowed his brows. Then, he stepped forward, took Aura's hand, and rushed back to the hospital urgently.

When Aura felt Joshua's hand on hers, she could sense how desperate and anxious Joshua felt. She narrowed her eyes, and a cold expression passed over her face.

Even though Joshua had claimed he did not care about Luna anymore, it seemed like deep down, he still had feelings for Luna.

This revelation made Aura's longing for Luna to die to grow even more intense.

Minutes later, the two of them arrived at the emergency room where Luna was being resuscitated.

The doctors were still trying to save her. The emergency room door kept opening and closing as doctors and nurses from different departments walked in and out. It was evident that the situation inside the room was not good at all.

Joshua could not hold it in anymore, so he grabbed hold of a doctor who came out from the room and asked, “How's the patient inside?“

The doctor shook his head, helplessness etched all over his face, and replied, “It's very bad, very bad.

“In all of my professional years, this is the first time I've ever seen a person's organs deteriorate so badly and so quickly. Please, let me go. I have to seek the hospital director's opinion on how to deal with this situation...“

With that, the doctor pushed Joshua's hand away, turned around, and left.

The doctor's statement made Aura even more excited. She grabbed the doctor's hand and asked in a gentle voice, “Ms. Luna's situation now...how is it compared to next door's Granny Lynch?“

“Their situation shows a lot of similarities.“ The doctor sighed. “But Granny Lynch's condition was a result of years of being poisoned. As for this lady...we do not know what caused this. It seems like she was heavily poisoned. The doctor that prescribed the medication to her, Dr. Janet, has disappeared. When we found Luna, she had already fainted. Whether she can survive or not, it's entirely up to fate.“

As soon as the doctor finished his sentence, the color drained from Joshua's face.

He stormed toward the emergency room like an arrow that was released from a bow.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1277

“Joshua! “

Seeing Joshua about to rush into the emergency room, Aura reached out to pull Joshua and shouted, “ You're not supposed to go into the emergency room! You're not a doctor. If you go in, you'll be a disturbance to the operation! “

Joshua's eyes were red, and he insisted on going into the room. “I can't stop worrying! “

Luna had initially planned to ask Dr. Janet about the symptoms and eat some medication that would trigger the same reaction in her body to fake the illness, so why did she end up in the emergency room all of a sudden?

Why did Dr. Janet went missing?

“Sir.“ Lucas stepped forward and held onto Joshua's arm with Aura. “Please calm down, and don't try to go in. Luna is being saved...and the situation inside is bad. If you go in, it'll interrupt this critical timing for the doctors... Luna will be even more at risk! “

Lucas' persuasion worked. Joshua regained control of his emotions and stopped acting up. He sat down in a chair and wrapped his hands together, staring at the emergency room door with a penetrating gaze.

Luna had to be okay!

If he had known this would happen, he would never agree to this plan in the first place, even if Luna pleaded or threw a tantrum.

Aura sat down next to Joshua. Seeing the way his hands were clenched together as well as the anxious expression on his face, she felt as though an

invisible hand was squeezing her heart.

He still very much cared for Luna. He still had not moved on!

Aura clenched her fists. Since he cared about her so much, then no matter what, she could not let Luna live!

Killing Luna was not just for her and her sister's status. More importantly, it was for her own good!

Aura was not planning just to take Luna's life. Instead, she wanted her to suffer in hatred and bring it with her to her grave.

Luna's operation lasted a whole day. Finally, at noon, the door to the emergency room was pushed open.

More than ten doctors, all drenched in sweat, wheeled a barely breathing woman out from the room.

The moment the door cracked open, Joshua had already stepped forward. “Doctor, is everything okay?“

“She's stable for the time being.“

The head doctor was wiping his sweat in relief as he sighed. “This kind of symptom is even more serious compared to what Granny Lynch suffered years ago. It took us so much manpower and time to get her body back to its normal level. Even though we still do not know how the outcome will be, we'll try our best to treat her.“

The doctor glanced at Joshua and continued, “We'll prepare a special ICU bed just for Ms. Luna. It's still being prepared. In the meantime, we'll place her in a normal ward. If there's anything you want to tell her, you can do it privately later.“

With that, the doctor glanced at a very weak and pale Luna and said, “But please don't take too long ; her condition can't be exerted. With her situation right now...she could die anytime.“

These few statements from the doctor made Joshua's entire body stiffen. He turned around and looked at Luna, who was lying on the bed, barely showing any signs of life.

She...did not drink the poison that Aura made, right? How did she end up like this...?

The doctors quickly pushed Luna into the ward.

Joshua followed their instruction and put on a protective suit before entering the ward. He was the first to go into the room.

The room was so quiet that he could only hear the sounds of the medical equipment operating.

Joshua walked up to Luna's side and held her hand tightly. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “What happened?“

Luna was fine when he brought her in to visit Granny Lynch. He only went to have breakfast with Aura.

Just a few hours later...she was barely holding on.

What happened?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1278

Luna curled her lips into a smile and reached out her hand to stroke Joshua's face. “Granny Lynch's condition is so dire that she even gave me instructions on what to do after she passed...“

Luna let out a cough and continued, “So I asked Dr. Janet to give me some drugs to fake the same illness that Granny Lynch has. As soon as I stop taking the medication, I'll return to normal. Don't worry... I won't die.“

She clutched her chest with one hand while the other was still stroking Joshua's face. “I didn't know how miserable it felt to be so sick.“

Joshua's expression darkened when he saw how forced Luna's smile was. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Since Dr. Janet was the one who gave you the medication to fake this illness, then where did she go? Apparently, she disappeared, according to the doctors outside.“

Luna let out a bitter laugh. “Yes. Initially, Dr. Janet wanted to give me low doses of this drug, but I was afraid it wouldn't fool Aura, so I asked her to use a higher dose instead...

“Dr. Janet was afraid that you'd get mad at her as soon as you saw how bad of a condition I was in, so she escaped.“

A hint of a smile crept across Luna's pale face as she added, “Seeing how anxious you were, I guess this would be able to fool Aura as well. Please remember

that as soon as Aura brings out the antidote and asks you who the save, you have to...you have to choose Granny.

“I'm fine. I really am.“

Joshua clutched Luna's hand tightly. “Are you...are you sure? I'm already starting to suspect that Dr. Janet gave you the exact same poison that Aura used.“

“Of course it wasn't.“ Luna chuckled. “If it was, how can I be so calm right now and even let you choose Granny over me?

“Neil's memory hasn't recovered yet, and Nigel and Nellie are still young. As for you...“

Luna reached out her hand to caress Joshua's face. “ You've just given me the marriage certificate and haven't even hosted the wedding ceremony that you owe me yet. How can I die at this point?“

As soon as he heard this, Joshua lowered his head and heaved a deep sigh.

All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door. His time was up.

Joshua gripped Luna's hand tightly and said, “Please remember what you said. Take good care of yourself

With that, he turned and left somewhat reluctantly.

Shortly after Joshua left, someone pushed the door open again. This time, the person who entered was Aura, who was wearing a protective suit as well, along with a doctor.

“My dearest sister, what has happened to you?“ Aura sat down gracefully next to Luna.

She lifted her head to glance at the medical equipment hooked up on Luna and snickered. “I never thought you'd have to live on machines at such a young age.“

She raised her eyebrows and shot Luna a glance. “ How does it feel like, knowing you're about to die at any second?“

Luna shot her a cold glance but did not reply. She was exhausted at this moment and did not have the energy to talk to someone like Aura.

Seeing that Luna remained silent, Aura curled her lips into a smirk. “Look how pitiful you are.“ She took out a phone and snapped a picture of Luna lying on her hospital bed.

With that, she chuckled, ignoring Luna's angry stare. “Guess who I 'm going to show this photo to? Why don't I send it to Nigel and Nellie?

“If I remember correctly, they're both at Lynch Mansion now, but Lynch Mansion's designated car is parked at the hospital entrance right now, after sending Granny Lynch into the hospital last night.

“There's only one car left at Lynch Mansion. Do you think Nigel and Nellie will ask the driver to drive that car to see you? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you... “Michael had cut off the brake cables of that car.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1279

Luna's eyes widened upon hearing this. She exclaimed in a hoarse voice, “You—“

“Me?“ Aura blinked innocently and continued, “ Actually, you shouldn't worry, my dear sister. It's just the brake cables; it's not like they'll definitely die. If they're lucky, they might, but if they aren't... they might live and be in a vegetative state for the rest of their lives, unable to speak or move.

“Worst case scenario, they might become two little cripples without a mother. As soon as my baby arrives, their father will abandon them, and they'll be laughed at and belittled all their lives.“

Luna's eyes were etched with fury. She knew that she could not die from this, and Dr. Janet had also confirmed with her that the only outcome of this drug would be health deterioration, but even so, she would be able to recover in a few years.

Despite this, she could not move or step out the door at all! She could not see anyone from the outside world without a doctor's permission!

If Nigel and Nellie found out about her state and ended up in a terrible accident after driving to the hospital in the broken car...she would not be able to forgive herself!

Aura could not help but let out a cackle when she saw how furious Luna was.

She sent the photo of Luna to both Nigel and Nellie, then left the room, still cackling. “Let's see what happens, Luna. Do you think my only target was you all this while?

“Even if those two good -for-nothing rascals don't die alongside you, I 'll still make their lives a living hell! “

As soon as she finished her sentence, Aura slammed the door behind her.

Luna's chest tightened. Fury, worry, and helplessness enveloped her entire being.

She asked the doctor to let Joshua into the room, but the doctor refused to do so because she would soon be transferred into the ICU ward.

As soon as she was transferred, she would have only ten minutes of visiting hours each day.

Luna was soon wheeled into the ICU.

There was a large glass window outside the ward. Despite the distance, Luna could still make out Aura's figure on the other side of the glass, waving her phone at her.

Then, Aura leaned against Joshua's arms coyly and said something to him that Luna could not make out.

A drop of tear slid down Luna's face as she watched this scene unfold.

She had already caught sight of what Aura was trying to show her when she waved her phone at her.

It was the chatbox between Aura and Nigel. Nigel...had already seen the photo.

Luna closed her eyes and prayed that Nigel and Nellie would not act on impulse.

Lynch Mansion.

After changing their clothes, Nigel and Nellie left the mansion.

The butler had arranged for one of the drivers to send them to the hospital in the last remaining car.

The car sped along the highway at breakneck speed.

Nellie said with red—rimmed eyes, “Nigel, Mommy must be in great pain. I want to see her...“

Nigel patted her back gently. He, too, was just as worried about their mother's condition.

The car whizzed past three red lights. However, Nigel soon realized there was something wrong with the driver.

He suppressed his concerns about Luna and asked, “ Mr. Driver, what's wrong? Please don't drive so fast; safety is of utmost importance...“

The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly and was so nervous that his entire body trembled. “ Young Master, the car's brakes...seem to have malfunctioned!“

What?

The color drained from Nigel's face when he heard this. The driver, too, was just as anxious as he was. “ According to the direction we're traveling, we'll make a very sharp turn in a while...“

Nellie started wailing as soon as she heard this. “

Nigel, we don't know how Mommy is doing, and now we're going to die on our way to see her ! ”

Nigel narrowed his eyes. Even though he was young, he still read plenty of news about accidents caused by brake malfunctions, so he knew that even though this car was not in much use, the butler at Lynch Mansion would not have neglected its maintenance.

Therefore, someone must have deliberately slashed the brake cables, causing the brakes to malfunction.

Someone was attempting to kill both him and Nellie!

As soon as he thought of this, Nigel exhaled and forced himself to calm down.

After a moment, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror and said in a steady voice, “Mr. Driver, you're one of the best drivers at Lynch

Mansion. I believe that you'll be able to calm down and find a solution in this situation.“

The driver, who was previously so nervous by the fact that he was carrying the two young grandchildren of the Lynch family, finally calmed down upon hearing Nigel's words.

However, he still had no way of stopping the car despite trying everything he could think of.

The car was accelerating more as it traveled downhill and looked about to crash into the mountain ahead!

“Turn, right now! “ Nigel ordered as he fiddled with his electronic tablet. “Head east. There's a factory owned by the Craig family there, and inside, they have a big deceleration strip. I 'll call Aunty Bonnie

right now and let them clear the way for us! “

The driver's entire body stiffened, shocked at how calm and level-headed this young boy was.

He quickly made a sharp turn.

Nigel let out a sigh of relief and picked up his phone to call Bonnie.

Bonnie, who was catching up on her sleep, leaped out of bed when she heard what had happened. She put on her clothes and replied, “Alright, alright.

Please stay calm, Nigel. The entire road is surrounded by factories owned by the Craig family. I 'll call them right now and let them clear the way for you! “

With that, she quickly hung up the phone and called the factory manager, barking orders like a madwoman, “Clear the roads! Hurry! “

Five minutes later, when the uncontrollable car sped into the Craig family factory area, the roads had already been cleared without any obstruction.

The car whizzed onto the deceleration strip.

After a bumpy journey, the car finally screeched to a halt.

Nellie was so startled by everything that happened that she could not even let out a sound. Her previously neat hair was tousled, and her clothes were askew.

She slumped in the car's backseat, so stunned by what had happened that she could not do anything except hold onto the door handle tightly.

Even though Nigel's hair and clothes were just as messy as hers, he still remained calm.

He wiped the blood from his nose, which had seeped out from the impact, and wiped the bloodstains on his electronic tablet. Then, he opened the door and got out of the car.

However, Nellie was still leaning against the door, unable to move.

Nigel smiled, then opened his arms wide. “Come on. It's fine now.“

Nellie finally came to, leaped out of the car, and hugged Nigel, sobbing, “Nigel, that was so scary— “

Nigel patted her back in reassurance and frowned, glancing at the driver who had gotten out of the car, looking just as unsettled as they were. “Do you know what was the reason that the brakes malfunctioned?“

The driver paused for a moment, then went to check on the car.

“Young Master, the brake cables were cut.“ “Alright.“ Nigel narrowed his eyes.

He already knew this would be the answer.

“Who on earth would do that?“ Nellie sobbed, still slumped in Nigel's arms.

Nigel curled his lips into a smirk as he replied, “Of course it was the person who had sent us the photo. She'd be the only person who wants us dead.“ With that, he turned to glance at the driver. “Can you extract any fingerprints from the cut cables?“
