Jim was afraid that it was indeed a hallucination, that Bonnie did not actually move. He was afraid that it was, once again, a false hope, so he quietly repeated what he said.
This time, no matter what Jim said or did, Bonnie’s fingers did not even quiver. ‘Maybe it was a trick of the mind after all.’ He smiled bitterly and helped tuck Bonnie into the blanket nicely before he left.
What he did not see, however, was that a lone tear fell from the corner of Bonnie’s eye when he turned around.
Jim was awake the entire night, organizing all the things Butler Fred did for his family. It turned out the butler had done so many things for him and his family.
Previously , Fred had thought Heather was the real Ms. Landry, so he cared for her deeply and even associated Heather to attack Jim business-wise. However, when Luna was back in the Landry family, he knew that Heather never had the chance to hold any power in the family. His attitude toward Heather changed drastically. Hence…
Jim rubbed his glabella. Honestly speaking, Fred and Mickey were not against him or Heather. They knew very
well that their future was based on the real person in charge of the Landry family.
Fred and Mickey had always wanted to be on the good side of the person holding the power to the family, regardless of whom it was. They first served him, then Heather, and, currently, Luna.
Jim squinted and organized all the information. He sent a message to Joshua and then sent all of the information he
gathered to him.
It was already morning by the time Joshua received the information. Before, Joshua had the habit of working through the night, but after he got back together with Luna, he changed his habit. Since all of his children were living with him, if he worked late… Nigel would hack into the company’s system and close down all of the company’s servers to stop Joshua from working. Neil would constantly nag Joshua to go to sleep, while Nellie would just start to cry in his arms.
“You can’t stay up late, Daddy, or I’ll have to call other men ‘daddy’ if you die! I don’t want that to happen!”
Luna would smilingly stand at the door every time Nellie cried. “Maybe your new daddy will be even more handsome, Nellie.”
“But he won’t look the same as daddy. I only like this daddy who looks the same as me!”
There was nothing that could stop Joshua from working in the past. No matter how many times Lucas reminded him, he would just continue to work.
However… When he saw how Luna and his kids stayed up late with him and urged him to sleep, he could not allow himself to let them be worried. Thus, gradually, he stopped the habit of working late.
Since he no longer stayed up late, he would wake up earlier in the morning. This morning, the first thing he read was the information Jim sent over. The information was a conclusion to all of the things Butler Fred and Mickey did over the years.
The information was detailed up to the point Jim was able to pinpoint exactly how long Mickey left Merchant City every time. From there , Joshua could see Jim had been wary of every person working in the family. There was no other explanation for how he could organize such detailed information within a night. Joshua felt astonished as he read the information . Amid the information, the first time when Mickey left Merchant City…was exactly 10 hours before Granny Lynch was poisoned for the first time.
It only took six hours to travel from Merchant City to Banyan City.
Joshua squinted. He was right; Mickey was related to Granny Lynch being poisoned after all.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2322 by desirenovel
After breakfast…
“You’re saying that my mom had no idea at all when Granny Lynch was poisoned?”
Luna was so shocked that she could not close her mouth as Joshua told her about all the information Jim sent him. She looked at Joshua astonishingly, her voice faltering as she added, “So… When mom said she didn’t know Granny Lynch was poisoned, she didn’t say it because she was afraid to sabotage our relationship?”
Looking at how shocked Luna was, Joshua could not help but smile. “I thought she purposely didn’t mention it because she didn’t want to affect our relationship.” Joshua looked up. “Looking back at it now, however, I don’t think she’s that kind of person. Since she could honestly tell Jim about his birth mother when he asked, I don’t think she’s a person who likes to lie.” Luna bit her lip and nodded silently. “You’re right. Mom never likes to tell lies, especially to the kids.”
At first, Jim had always thought he was Rosalyn’s son. When he found out that his birth mother was someone else, Rosalyn immediately came clean when he asked, despite him being heartbroken and furious at the time. Even when she told Jim the truth, Jim did not throw tantrums or cut off ties with her.
That day, Rosalyn held Jim in her arms and told him with the softest tone that she never treated him differently, even when Jim was not her flesh and blood. Although it did not create a serious reciprocal, she took a huge risk by telling Jim the truth. If it was not dealt with diligently, Rosalyn could lose Jim forever. Nevertheless, she did not choose to lie.
A woman who faced the risk of losing her son refused to tell her son a lie, so why should that woman lie just because she feared it would affect their relationship? After all, Joshua and Luna’s relationship was stable already. Luna bit her lip and kept quiet.
Joshua curled up his lip and continued, “Plus, the Landry family and the Lynch family were enemies and were at odds. No one knew that the Quinn family was behind all of it, though, and no one knew everything was just a misunderstanding.
“Back in the past, Granny used to attack the Landry Group to harm them, and if your mother truly had poisoned Granny, well… It’s a despicable tactic, but I can accept it, and vengeance isn’t the only option to go about things.”
He looked at Luna. “You should understand what I mean.”
Luna bit her lip and kept quiet for a long time. Eventually, she nodded.
Joshua was right. When Granny Lynch was poisoned, it was the peak period when the Landry family and the Lynch family were fighting against each other. In addition, Charles Landry was innocent and had nothing to do with Lucy’s death, but Granny Lynch insisted that he was the one who killed her. In the end, Luna’s uncle was the reciprocal of the feud between both families.
Although all the misunderstandings were finally cleared, the hatred that Luna’s parents had for Granny Lynch was no lesser than how much Granny Lynch hated Rosalyn and Charles when she was alive.
Moreover, to both Rosalyn and Charles, Granny Lynch was the perpetrator who killed Colin Landry.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2323 by desirenovel
Under those circumstances, it made sense if Luna’s parents wanted to poison Granny Lynch to exact vengeance for murdering Colin Landry. She believed if her parents truly had done so, Joshua would understandit.
Nevertheless, it would be much better if Rosalyn and Charles had nothing to do with Granny Lynch’s demise.
This thought had crossed Luna’s mind before. However, it had only been almost a year since she returned to the Landy family. She did not have the same hatred the Landry family had against the Lynch family, and she also did not have the right to comment on it.
Hence, if she could avoid discussing Granny Lynch being poisoned, she would avoid it at all costs. Since there were some things that one could not solve, the only way out was to avoid facing them.
To her amazement, she chose to escape facing reality, but that was not what Joshua wanted. Joshua was a person who was very clear about his love and hate for people. He loved Luna, and he also loved Granny Lynch.
Although he said nothing about what happened before, he never gave up seeking the truth. Otherwise, he would not be able to compare the time between Mickey leaving Merchant City with the time Granny Lynch got sick after Jim sent him the details on Butler Fred and Mickey.
The thought had been in his mind for quite some time, and he took this opportunity to investigate it.
Luna looked up to gaze into Joshua’s eyes. Suddenly, she felt like she did not know the man standing in front of her.
She had thought that there were no secrets between them after all the hardship they had been through all these years, but at this moment, she clearly felt the distance between them. She had put her heart out by telling him all of her plans and thoughts, but Joshua had his own plans in his mind. For example, this incident.
Before today, she thought that Joshua wanted to help her and Jim to look out for the Landry family by investigating Butler Fred and Mickey. Even before breakfast today, she did not know that the reason Joshua wanted to look into Fred and Mickey was so he could find out the truth behind Granny Lynch’s poisoning.
Joshua was the same as before: never sharing anything with Luna and disliked being honest with her.
More specifically, Luna felt like Joshua was using her. He could have made time to tell Luna yesterday that he wanted to study the incident when Granny Lynch was poisoned when he said he harbored suspicions toward Butler Fred and Mickey.
There was no reason for Joshua not to say it. Luna would not stop him from investigating and also did not think investigating it would cause any harm to her or the Landry family. Furthermore, Luna would help him had he wanted it.
They were married too, for goodness’ sake! They had been through so many difficulties, and theoretically speaking, they should face every consequence together. However, Joshua did not tell Luna his plan, only saying that Fred and Mickey were very suspicious.
Having those thoughts in her mind caused Luna to lose her appetite. She put down her cutlery and looked straight into Joshua’s eyes. “If you have any more thoughts, especially when it’s involving me and the Landry family, can you please tell me in advance? I’m your wife. I won’t betray you or sell you out. “Joshua, do you still have doubts about me? Can you trust me with your whole heart?”
Joshua furrowed his eyebrow, staring at Luna as questions surfaced in his mind. “What are you talking about?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2324 by desirenovel
Looking at how Joshua furrowed his eyebrows, Luna felt at a loss as to how to continue the topic. Her words were lodged at her throat, unable to utter them.
‘I don’t think he realizes what I truly care about. He probably just thinks that I’m throwing a tantrum. But am I?’ Luna did not know the answer to that, either. What she knew was that she was in a bad mood, and a terrible one at that.
She took a deep breath and gazed deeply at Joshua’s face. Then, she smiled. “You have no idea what I’m talking about. Forget about it.” She stood up.
“You need me to help you deal with Butler Fred and Mickey, right? To get them to confess to all the crimes they committed? Let them admit that they were the ones who poisoned Granny Lynch, right?”
Joshua squinted , not understanding how Luna’s mood soured so quickly. “What’s wrong with you?”
He cared more about Luna than having Butler Fred and Mickey admit all the wrongdoings . After being together for so many years, Joshua knew a thing or two about Luna, even though they spent more time being apart. Once Luna got emotional, she would think in a more complicated way. Even if Joshua did not have Luna’s help,
he would eventually find out the truth about Fred and Mickey. However, the most important thing to do at this moment was to comfort Luna.
“I don’t need you to care about me.” Luna grew bitter, ignoring Joshua’s concerns. She looked at him and sneered, “Do you, Mr. Lynch, really care about how I feel? Since the beginning, your family has always been more important than me, aren’t I right?”
She did not give Joshua a chance to explain himself. “All you need to do now is to tell me if you need me to cooperate with you to get Butler Fred and Mickey to confess their crimes.”
Joshua finally realized that for some reason, he had done something wrong that made his wife unhappy. He sighed and walked around the table to hold Luna’s hand. “Do you think that I was using you? I didn’t, Luna. I just thought that since we’re husband and wife, we should face it together.”
Honestly speaking, Joshua thought there was no reason for him to tell Luna this. The reason he told Luna was that he wanted no secrets between them. Besides that, Fred and Mickey were employees of the Landry family, and Luna would be one of the heirs to the Landry Family in the future. He wanted Luna to feel that she was important, needed, and respected, and that was why he decided to tell Luna about it.
However , Joshua did not expect Luna to think it from a different aspect that complicated everything to the extent that he was using her to have revenge.
“I’m surprised that you know it’s important to have trust between a couple and we should face problems together.” Luna crossed her arms at her chest. She glared at Joshua through the corner of her eyes and scoffed. “Let me ask you, then. Have you suspected Butler Fred and Mickey for a long time now? Before today, you’ve already suspected them, haven’t you?”
Joshua kept silent and said nothing. Luna smiled even brighter, but her heart felt heavy with disappointment. She stared at Joshua’s face and said with a cold tone, “Since you have your suspicions and plan, why did you only tell it to me today? We’re a couple. I tell you everything, but you went behind my back with all those thoughts and secrets. You never tell me any of those.
“The only reason you’re telling me this now is that I’m part of the Landry family, and Butler Fred and Mickey are working for the Landry family, which is why I could help you with this. If I’m unrelated to the Landry family, and if Butler Fred and Mickey aren’t working for the Landry family, will you still be telling me this?”
Joshua furrowed his brow and grabbed Luna’s hand tightly. “What makes you think I won’t?”
“I just know it.” Luna swung Joshua’s hand away remotely. “Joshua, we’ve been married for eight years and more. When we got married, we vowed before the priest to be honest with each other, keep no secrets from each other, and face everything together. Have you kept your end of the promise?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2325 by desirenovel
Luna emotionlessly looked into Joshua’s eyes coldly and spoke curtly, “You never did make true of this vow, be it in the things that you think of, the problems that needed to be solved, and your suspicion toward anything. You’ll only tell me when you need me to know, and otherwise, you won’t tell me.”
Joshua furrowed his brows tightly. “You’re going overboard, Luna. It’s just a small problem. Why do you—”.
“Am I?” Luna interrupted coldly. “We’re talking about Butler Fred and Mickey now, but what about in the future? If there are more dangers in the future, will you tell me? Do you think I have the right to know? Do you think you’ll be honest and tell me?”
The more Luna went on, the more worked up she became. “You might think it’s just a small matter, but if you’re not even willing to share this small matter with me, then what about bigger issues? Will you share it with me and let me know?”
Joshua frowned again as he listened to Luna. After a while, he sighed and grabbed Luna’s hand once more.” I’m sorry.”
He gazed at Luna’s face fondly with his deep, dark eyes and said sincerely, “I now know what bothers you now. I was wrong.”
His apology came as a surprise to Luna. The thing that she was ready to say was suddenly stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth but found herself unable to say anything and was instead stunned.
If she forgave him, she would have no place to vent. On the other hand, if she chose not to forgive him…
Joshua had apologized so sincerely, too.
Just when Luna was in a very awkward moment and did not know what to do, someone opened the door.
It was Lucas, coming in to inform Luna and Joshua, “Sir, Mrs. Lynch, Luke and Gwen are here.”
Gwen and Luke were her saviors, Luna sighed internally. She swung away Joshua’s hand again and pretended to be angry as she looked outside. “We’ll talk again when the guests leave.”
Joshua knew that Luna was not angry anymore based on her expression, thus he curled his lips into a smile.” Alright.”
Joshua and Luna made their way to the living room and sat on the couch. Coincidentally, Luke and Gwen were making their way in. Gwen leaned into Luke’s arms fondly, to which Luke smiled very brightly. From afar, they looked like the perfect couple.
However, there was something different from before.
Gwen used to look terrible while Luke would seem healthier and more alive, but at this very moment, it was completely the opposite. Luke’s face looked very pale, while Gwen’s face looked filled with life and vigor.
“He didn’t have a good rest last night. It’s fine.” This was Gwen’s answer when Luna asked why Luke looked pale.
Gwen then smilingly added, “How could a person who sleeps like a pig every night be sick?”
“You’re right,” Luke agreed with her sweetly. He then looked at Joshua and continued, “I’m as healthy as a horse. Even if I lose an organ, I’ll be lively as usual. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Joshua squeezed his brows together upon hearing Luke’s words.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2326 by desirenovel
Gwen might not understand what Luke meant, but Joshua knew exactly what Luke was talking about.
Joshua’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Luke with a passive expression. “Having a healthy body is not the reason for you to do whatever you want.”
Joshua then turned and looked at Gwen. “Am I correct?”
Gwen was so focused on Luna’s expression that she missed Joshua’s conversation with Luke. Thus, being questioned caught her off-guard as she eventually stammered, “Y—Yes.”
Gwen then whispered into Luke’s ear, so softly that only he could hear her, “What were you talking about just now?” Her cheeks became tinted with pink like ripe peaches.
Luke had a hard time restraining himself from nibbling her cheek. He would have held Gwen in his arms tightly and kissed her until they were both out of breath had they not been in Joshua’s home at the moment.
Alas, there they were.
Luke curled up his lips and pinched Gwen’s cheeks tenderly. How he adored her. “Nothing. We were just talking about how healthy I am.” He smoothed Gwen’s hair. “Don’t mind us. Didn’t you want to talk to Luna? Go on.”
Gwen’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Most of the time, she disliked Luke, disliked how overbearing he was, disliked how possessive he was, and disliked his occupation and the cruel things he did. Nevertheless, Luke was, in fact, a good boyfriend most of the time.
He would always give her the correct response when she needed it the most, as well as being generous and stingy at the right time. Furthermore, butterflies would flutter in her stomach when she looked at Luke’s gentle and kind face as well as his smoky voice while remembering how ruthless he could be.
Things would have been better if Luke was not a demon in disguise. How good would it have been if Luke did not kill her fiance? If…he was not that possessive over her, she would at least be willing to be a normal couple with him. They would not be where they were at this moment.
Gwen sighed and moved away, detaching herself so Luke would not be able to pat her head. She did not want to have too much contact with Luke as she feared that the more she got involved with him, the quicker she would
fall for him to the point she could no longer leave him.
She turned around and looked at Luna with a smile. “I’m here to talk to you. Should we go upstairs or to the garden?”
Luna paused and quickly grabbed Gwen’s hand with a smile. “Let’s go to the garden. I’m afraid we can get too excited and startle the three kids. They’ll be all over you once they see their godmother here.”
Luna’s words humored Gwen. She stood up and shook her head helplessly. “Well, as you said, I am their godmother. I’ll be more than happy if they’re all over me.”
While that was the truth, Gwen headed to the garden.
She knew Luna too well. Luna saying that she was afraid of waking her three children was not the entire truth; she actually meant she was afraid they would be too loud and disturb her three kids from resting. Since Gwen cared about the children, she could not bear exposing Luna.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2327 by desirenovel
While Luna and Gwen walked hand-in-hand as they made their way toward the garden, Joshua and Luke sat on the couch and watched their figure gradually disappear. Both men could not fight off the smile that crept to their faces.
Joshua was happy that Luna could finally laugh heartily. Although she wanted to laugh, she pretended to be angry because of her ego. Since Gwen was here, this silly woman could finally let go of her burden and expressed her emotions freely.
What made Luke happy was seeing Gwen happy with her friend. He did not have much time left, and there was nothing happier than seeing Gwen happy with the time he had left.
When the two women finally disappeared out of their sight, Joshua finally regained his senses and looked at Luke indifferently. “You made up your mind after all?”
Luke was still looking in the direction Gwen left. He was lost in his thoughts before Joshua asked him the question. He lifted his eyes and looked back at Joshua.” Haven’t I said it enough? I’ve already made up my mind. You’re the one hesitating and worrying about me.” Joshua squinted and looked at Luke solemnly. “I’m really worried about you, Luke. There is a better way to solve this. This is a big world, and it’s possible that another person,”
“Another person matches with Gwen, am I right?” Luke interrupted Joshua coldly. Although he was smiling, he did not look like he was happy. “Don’t forget. How long have you waited to get a compatible bone marrow for Nigel? Luna had tried hard for two years, and in the end, she chose to come back to you so she can have another baby to save Nigel.
“You did find a compatible bone marrow for Nigel, but I also heard about the incident with Fiona. If bone marrow is that easy to find, then what made you decide to leave Luna, the beloved woman of your life, and accompany Fiona?”
Joshua fell silent. He lowered his head and squeezed his brows tightly together. “That’s different.”
“What’s different about it?” Luke curled up his lip and sipped at his coffee before adding, sounding remote,” Gwen can’t wait any longer. It’s harder to find a second person who matches with her than winning the lottery. I’m her partner, and I’m a match for her. Don’t you think God has arranged everything like this? A choice God had bestowed upon me?”
He put the coffee back onto the coffee table. “I’m lucky that I’m the one who could donate my heart to Gwen. If it was another person, then nothing I do could ever repay in exchange for Gwen’s heart.
“Now, it’s me who can transplant my heart to Gwen; no one else but me. I don’t care about my life. I just want Gwen to live a happy life. My life doesn’t matter. As long as she survives, I don’t care if she finds another man while living with my heart.”
Joshua sighed and looked at how determined Luke was. In the end, he stayed quiet.
He smiled bitterly a long while later. “Luke, have you ever thought about this? If you die for Gwen, she’ll never ever be happy for the rest of her life.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2328 by desirenovel
“That’s not going to happen.” Luke squinted as he stared at Joshua. “Do you think I’ll let her know that my heart is in her body?”
He shook his head. “I won’t let her know, and she won’t find out about it-never, ever in her life. She’ll only know me as the man who hurt her repeatedly, rendered a prisoner after a fight with another gang, and finally as the man who tore her into pieces.
“Maybe she’ll remember me in the future and pay respect to me at my grave, but I’ll never allow her to feel guilty and unhappy because of me.”
Luke then sighed and switched to a more comfortable position on the couch. “I’ve thought it out, and everything is planned. All I want is for you and Luna to take care of Gwen once I’m gone. Also, maybe find a man who’ll treat her well. I can’t bear to see her be alone.”
He lowered his head and started to meddle with the fruits on the fruit platter while languidly commenting, “She’s too fragile. If there’s no one there to help her, she can never handle things on her own. You and Luna can’t possibly accompany her for the rest of her life…so I’m entrusting you the responsibility of finding her ‘Mr. Right
Joshua furrowed his eyebrows. “I won’t do that. If Gwen meets someone she likes, I might help her, but I’ll never take the initiative to match her with another man.”
“Why?” Luke looked up at Joshua curiously.
Joshua smiled bitterly. “Because I’m your best friend, and you’ll always be, even in death. How could I possibly help set up the girl you adore with another man?”
Luke paused and looked at Joshua meaningfully. “You’re my good brother.”
In the end, he shut his eyes and leaned on the sofa lazily. “I’d prefer it if you can, though. I don’t want to see her lonely.”
Just like what he was doing at this moment.
He had it all planned out. He wanted to kick Gwen out of the house and let her leave him; the further , the better. However, he could not bear to do it when he saw Gwen on her own. He cared too much about her to the extent that he could not allow Gwen to be alone.
It would be perfect if there was a way that could let Gwen easily forget about him and continue on to live a happy life without him.
Out of the blue, he thought of Jim.
If the medicine that Jim consumed was still available, this would be the most ideal solution. Gwen could forget everything and live a happy life as Luke wanted.
Just as Luke closed his eyes and thought of where to get such medicine, his phone rang. It was the doctor who called him yesterday. “Mr. Jones…”
Luke frowned as he answered the call. “Didn’t I warn you not to call me without my permission? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?”
The doctor got so scared that he nearly dropped the phone. “But…”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2329 by desirenovel
“B-But, Mr. Jones…” The doctor spoke timidly, “It wasn’t my intention to bother you, but there’s a situation that I think I must report to you immediately.”
Luke squeezed his brows even harder as he hissed, “Spill! “His subconscious told him to look in the direction of the garden to check on Gwen.
Through the huge glass window, he saw Gwen sitting with her back facing him in the garden. She was talking with Luna, and they seemed to be talking about something funny because she was laughing so hard that her body trembled.
Once he made sure that Gwen was unaware of this phone call, he sighed in relief, saying, “Quick. Get to it.” The doctor on the other side of the phone was nearly scared to death. “Mr. Jones… The thing is that we’ve just received Ms. Larson’s medical report. One of the indicators is too high…” Luke’s brows pressed together. “One of the indicators is too high? Didn’t I already tell you to make sure her body is in a good condition? It’s less than a month before the transplant, and you’re telling me this now?” The doctor on the other end of the call could feel Luke’s ruthless voice digging into him, and this scared him even more. Due to this fear, however, the doctor became a stuttering mess, which irked Luke even more.
Seeing that a normal conversation nearly turned into an interrogation , Joshua frowned and took away the phone from Luke.
“Hello, doctor. I’m Joshua. Luke isn’t himself now, so you can tell me everything.”
Joshua quickly glanced in Luna and Gwen’s direction.
“What’s wrong with Gwen’s indicator ? Calm down, and take your time to say it.” Unlike Luke, Joshua’s tone was deep and elegant. The doctor felt like the summer sun was shining on him, that the spring breeze gently passed him. He was finally able to relax and exhale deeply. “Alright, Mr. Lynch. The thing is that I’ve been responsible for the project to transplant Mr. Jones’ heart to Ms. Larson. I’ve also made arrangements to monitor their body condition. “I just didn’t expect that the doctor whom I arranged to overwatch her condition would be hiding a secret from me. She only told me the truth today when I told her to get ready for the heart transplant surgery.” The doctor inhaled deeply. “Anyway, it’s not something we can’t solve, but we needed Mr. Jones to discuss it with Ms. Larson before solving it.”
The doctor’s words raised Joshua’s suspicion, and he could almost tell what it was about. “What’s the problem?
The doctor smiled bitterly. “The thing is that Ms. Larson knew about the problem with her body before us. She had bribed the doctor who had been monitoring her body condition to keep it a secret from me and Mr. Jones.
“Ms. Larson… is pregnant.”
The doctor sighed. “It’s only been less than a month, though, so the abortion procedure is very easy. A pill is all it needs.
“Nonetheless, she had suffered a severe injury before, and Mr. Jones is well aware of this issue. He and Ms. Larson had a big fight about her fertility issue. If they decide to have an abortion, Ms. Larson will have difficulty getting pregnant again in the future.” Finally, the doctor said with a sigh, “Thus, I need to know if Mr. Jones wants to keep this baby.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2330 by desirenovel
This reveal stunned Joshua. He stiffly turned his head to look at Luke.
Luke was in a bad mood because of the doctor. He sat on the couch, drinking his coffee and not bothering to hear what Joshua and the doctor were talking about. To him, the doctor was an irresponsible person who liked to exaggerate everything, and he refused to waste time on such a person.
Joshua squeezed his eyebrows tightly as he looked at Luke. With the phone in hand, he took a few steps backward unconsciously and pressed the phone closer to his ear, afraid Luke might overhear what the doctor said.” Will it affect the result if she doesn’t go through with terminating the child’s life?”
The ambiguous question had the doctor puzzled. It took him some time to realize that Joshua was asking if the heart transplant surgery would be affected if Gwen decided to keep the baby.
“Yes, it’ll affect it greatly.” The doctor took a deep breath. “Even though Ms. Larson is still very early in her pregnancy term, once she’s carrying the baby in her womb, her body condition will change easily. The condition of her heart and vomiting blood will deteriorate. If she keeps the baby, the baby might not make it during the transplant, and Ms. Larson could suffer from a hemorrhage, too.” The doctor continued, “I know this is a difficult decision to make, but they have to do it. Ms. Larson’s body can’t afford to have this baby now.”
The doctor eventually lamented, “Ms. Larson has had such a difficult life. After her miscarriage, she was tormented to find out her chances of getting pregnant is very low. Who knew that she’d be diagnosed with this illness and be pregnant before the transplant! “But for the sake of her body, she must not keep the baby Joshua tightened his grip on the phone. “Could there be any other solutions?” He knew Luke was determined to donate his heart to Gwen, and as Luke’s friend, he respected Luke’s wishes and would not protest so vehemently. However… If their baby could live to see the world, then it would be a gift that Luke left behind when he was no longer with them, and Gwen would also be less sad. He and Luna could help Gwen to take care of the baby and reminisce about Luke together, too.
Having that thought in his mind, Joshua took a deep breath. “Try harder to think.”
“It’s impossible, Mr. Lynch.” The doctor sighed. “Mr.
Jones can give up the heart transplant and choose the conservative treatment approach for Ms. Larson. However, the treatment comes with great risk. Ms. Larson will need to be in the hospital every day during her pregnancy, and she has to stay in bed all the time. By doing so, we’ll be able to save her if her heart stops working, or when her heart fails to cope with her body, within the best time frame. So…”
Joshua shut his eyes for a while before looking at Luke. “I understand,” he replied hoarsely. “I’ll talk to him.”
Joshua then hung up the phone. “What did he say?” Luke rolled his eyes when he saw Joshua finish talking to the doctor. He snatched his phone and put it aside before asking casually, “This doctor has a penchant for disrupting my day when I’m at an inconvenience. It’s worse that he likes to exaggerate,
too.”
