Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 821
“After saying all these, you still can't let him go.“
At night, Luna looked after Joshua. After changing his IV drip, Bonnie called. When Bonnie heard the excuse Luna gave for staying to take care of him, she could not help but sigh.
“Your excuses are invalid. Nellie's illness only needs to be carefully taken care of, she would get better sooner or later.
“Nigel's illness needs money. Joshua is unconscious. It's just nice that no one could hold me back. I would be able to afford ten million, let alone a million dollars. I don't believe that you have never thought of this.
“You only want these as an excuse for you to stay back in the hospital to take care of him.“
Bonnie sighed.
“Forget about it. I have no right to lecture you. Back then, I had been always hesitating just for a scumbag like Jason. Although Joshua is terrible to you too, but compared to that scumbag, Jason, he is much better.
“But, even if you're staying there to take care of him, you have to be careful. Don't fall for him.“
Then, Bonnie directly hung up.
On this side of the call, Luna held her phone and sighed heavily.
Bonnie was right. To say that it was for Nigel and Nellie...was all just an excuse.
However, she chose to stay there and take care of Joshua not completely because she could not let him go.
In the evening, Jude sent her more videos and recordings.
Besides the things he said the night before and the roses, Joshua actually did a lot of things for her.
When she was unconscious, not only did Joshua take the initiative to bring Nigel back from abroad, but he also used his money to pacify Theo's father.
If not, Theo's father, Nathan, would never have let go of the fact that Luna killed Theo, let alone persuade Celeste.
Also, Neil.
After Neil passed away, Joshua tried to search day and night for Neil's torn pieces of clothing amidst the crumbling ruins.
Furthermore, the donor for Nigel's bone marrow somewhat had to do with Joshua.
Joshua had secretly done all these things for her without telling her.
Luna sighed. She looked at the man with angular facial features in front of her.
She realized she was getting more confused with this man.
What is he like as a person? Was he aloof and heartless just like how he presented himself?
Perhaps he was like what Jude said, secretly doing a lot of things, then silently bearing through everything.
Luna could not think straight.
Thus, she wanted to take care of him and get him to wake up sooner. She wanted to ask him for an explanation right in front of his face. Why did he do so many things but never told her?
Why did he clearly care for his children so much, yet he was not willing to share their medical bills? Why did he have to put on a cold and heartless front?
Luna took care of Joshua in his ward for three days.
In those three days, besides work, she had been cooped up in the small ward.
Sometimes, during lunch, she would also come to check up on Joshua, to see if he has woken up or not.
By the evening of the third day, Luna looked at the time on her phone. She sighed heavily.
Nigel was about to undergo bone marrow transplant surgery the next day.
If Joshua still did not come around...
Perhaps, he might miss out on Nigel's most important day.
If something were to happen to Nigel during surgery, he would no longer have the chance to see Nigel anymore.
“Ms. Luna, don't worry, with such a wise and kind wife like you, Mr. Lynch would surely wake up.“
The nurse gently comforted Luna while changing Joshua's IV drip bag.
”If he doesn't come around, how could he pay you back for all you have done for the past few days?”
Luna smiled at the nurse.
”We're divorced.” They had been divorced for six years already.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 822
Joshua actually had a new lover.
However, his new lover, Fiona, has not been to the hospital to visit him. Not even once. She did not even come to work.
Perhaps she truly thought that he would not be able to wake up?
Lucas has mentioned Fiona when he came to visit Joshua occasionally. He said that she was sick. She was recuperating at home.
However, although the servants always see her looking sad, she still ate every meal and slept soundly.
When the nurse heard what Luna said, she was stunned. Then, she smiled helplessly.
“Ms. Luna, you sure know how to pull my leg. You two are so in love, how could you be divorced? The young couple in love next door are not as close as you and Mr. Lynch.“
Then, the nurse packed up, turned, and left.
“Hold up.“
Luna pursed her lips and called after the nurse. “My son has an important surgery tomorrow. I'll head upstairs to accompany him. I'll leave Joshua in your good hands tonight.“
The nurse was stunned. She turned to look at Luna with a rather pitiful gaze.
“Don't worry. They will get better.“
Luna nodded. She did hope that they would all get better.
When the nurse left, Luna closed the door and carefully gave Joshua a wipe down.
Finally, she buttoned up his clothes.
“Joshua, if you're still not going to come around, you're really going to miss out on Nigel's surgery. Although the doctors say that the transplant technique is safe and mature, there are still risks. If Nigel's body has a rejection to the transplant during the surgery, he might not be rescued.“
Luna laughed bitterly.
“It's already at this stage, why are you not up yet? If Luna sniffled her nose.
“If Nigel dies on the operating table, I really do not know how to continue living. What would happen to Nellie?
“Can you wake up and look after Nellie for me? Nellie likes you a lot. I know you like her a lot too. You will surely take good care of her...“
Just when Luna was going on about her kids while helping Joshua put on his clothes, someone knocked on the door of the ward.
The person that entered was no one other than Nigel's doctor, Rowena Shaw.
Seeing that it was Dr. Rowena, Luna immediately placed Joshua down, turned, and looked at her.
“Dr. Rowena, why are you here? I was just thinking of heading upstairs to look for you and discuss the surgery tomorrow after dealing with Joshua. Then, go and see Nigel...“
Luna only said two sentences when she felt that something was not right.
Rowena's expression was terrifyingly pale.
When Luna brought Nigel and Nellie to the hospital that afternoon, Rowena confidently claimed that the surgery would be a success.
However, at that moment, her expression... Luna was instantly alarmed.
She kept her smile, pursed her lips, and looked at Rowena seriously.
“Dr. Rowena, what is going on? I -Is...there is a problem in Nigel's surgery tomorrow?“
“Hmm.“
Rowena closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
She was in the industry for so many years, this is the first time she encountered such a situation.
“The donor...refuses to be admitted into the hospital to undergo surgery.“
Clang!
Luna took a step backward. Her arm knocked over the cup of water on the table. The cup fell to the floor with a deafening sound.However, Luna seemed to have not heard the sound. She raised her head and looked at Rowena, stunned. ”H-How...did this happen?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 823
Luna bit her lips. She looked at Rowena in disbelief.
“I...know the donor. It's impossible for the donor to not agree to the surgery.“
Christian even came over to visit Joshua that morning. He even chatted with Nigel for a very long time. He agreed to give Nigel the latest model of computer and keyboard after the surgery.
Only more than lo hours have passed and he has reneged on his deal?
“You must be mistaken.“ Luna pursed her lips and looked at Rowena seriously.
“The donor, me, and the children's father are friends. How could this have happened...“
Rowena thought back about how Fiona was hysterically saying how Nigel's death had nothing to do with her. She could not help but sigh heavily.
“I know that the donor and you all are friends, but Ms. Luna, it's the truth, You have to face it. The fact is we have already signed an agreement with the donor twice. We even took video footage of how the donor is willing to donate the bone marrow.
“However, when our staff went to pick the donor up, the donor refused to cooperate. We have no choice either...“
Luna bit her lips.
“There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.“
Perhaps the attitude of the hospital staff upset Christian, so he was not willing to donate his bone marrow?
At that thought, Luna took a deep breath. “I'll try to talk to the donor.“
Rowena was silent for a while. She could only nod.
“Thank you for doing so. The donor needs to do a series of preparations before the surgery. If the donor can't be in the hospital by nine tonight, we might have to reschedule tomorrow's surgery.“
Then, Rowena turned and left.
Seeing Rowena leaving, Luna sighed. She immediately picked her phone up and dialed Christian.
The call was soon picked up. Christian seemed to be in a bar. It was a noisy environment.
Christian asked in a pleasant tone, “Why are you calling me at this hour?“
Luna furrowed her brows. Hearing the noise on the other end of the call, her expressions darkened.
“Where are you?“
"I'm..."
Before Christian could finish his sentence, his phone was snatched away by a woman next to him.
She took the phone and arrogantly said to Luna, “ Who the hell are you? Why are you calling Mr. Christian? Let me tell you, he is mine tonight! Don't try to fight me for him! “
The woman wanted to say something else, but Christian had already furrowed his brows and immediately pushed her to the side. He snatched the phone over.
“This is my friend! Stop fooling around! “
Then, he turned and headed out of the bar. He took a deep breath and continued his call with Luna.
“What's up?“
Luna remained in the same spot, gripping the phone tightly.
She never would have thought that Christian would be drinking at the bar at that hour and even planned to have s*x with another woman that night when the bone marrow surgery was the next day!
“Christian.“
Luna suppressed the rage in her heart. “Do you know what day it is tomorrow?“ Christian furrowed his brows.
“What day is it? It's...“ He thought for a while before saying, “Oh, yes, it's Nigel's surgery tomorrow. You Before he could finish his sentence, Christian suddenly remembered.
He has never told Luna his true identity. Luna had always thought that he was the donor donating his bone marrow to Nigel.
That was why she called at that moment.
“Christian," Luna bit her lips and said, “Nigel's doctor came to look for me just now. She told me that the donor who agreed to donate the bone marrow to Nigel refused to be admitted into the hospital and refused to undergo surgery. I want to ask you why."
Luna took a deep breath.
“I know that donating the bone marrow to Nigel is for free. You won't get any benefits out of it. If you were to disagree from the start, I have nothing to say, but right now..."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 824
“My child and I have prepared everything. I have even managed to borrow a lump sum from my friend to pay your medical bills. Now that you're regretting it, what should we do?“
Previously, Luna did not expose the fact that Christian was the donor because she respected the fact that the donor was not willing to reveal their identity.
However, it was already a desperate situation at that moment! Luna could no longer care that much!
Christian, on the other end of the line, was silent upon Luna's words.
He pursed his lips. He suddenly did not know how to explain it to Luna. He did not know how to say that the donor was Fiona.
Previously, the deal Fiona made with Joshua was that if Joshua were to be together with her, she would donate her bone marrow to Nigel.
At that moment, it was almost surgery day, yet Joshua was still unconscious, unsure if he was dead or alive.
No one could do anything about Fiona running away. Unless Joshua were to wake up at that moment.
Christian closed his eyes and sighed.
It was at that stage already. He could no longer continue lying to Luna.
Christian said with a hoarse voice, “Luna, I'm going to tell you something, but please don't get too worked up over it.“
Luna furrowed her brows and sneered.
“You not agreeing to the surgery is enough to get me worked up already. Is there anything else that would be worse than that?“
“Yes,“ Christian sighed and said, “actually...“ His bright voice turned depressing. “Actually, I'm not Nigel's donor.“
“What?“ Luna was instantly stunned at Christian's words.
“If it's not you, then who is it?“
She clearly saw Christian coming out from the place where they signed the agreement with the doctors. He also said all those things to the doctors...
“That day, when you went there, the real donor had already left. I was like you, I went there to find out who Nigel's donor was. It was just by accident that you arrived too late, then you treated me as the donor.“
Christian's voice was getting softer and lower.
“Actually, I always knew you mistook me for the donor, but I had my intentions. I wanted to get closer to Joshua through you, to get him to invest in my company. That's why I never explained it to you. I actually...have been lying to you.“
Every word Christian said was like a heavy hammer,
brutally smashing Luna's heart. She was hurt yet shocked. Her legs turned to jelly.
If Christian was not the donor, then who was the real donor?
Luna bit her lips. She was trembling furiously.
“If I went there too late and missed the donor, you must have surely seen who the donor was, right?“
Luna recalled what Christian said to the doctor. The doctor even said that they would contact Christian if there was anything.
That proved that...
Christian knew who the donor was. He was also quite close to the donor!
At that thought, it was as if Luna was at her wit's end. She held the phone tightly, her voice was trembling and croaky.
“Christian, tell me, who the donor is? I could go look for them! “
Things were already at that stage, she could not let Nigel down!
Even if she had to give up everything, she still had to find the donor and persuade the donor to help Nigel!
Christian was silent.
He knew that the truth would come out sooner or later.
After a while, Christian chuckled bitterly. “Actually, the person is...“
”Fiona... ”
Before Christian could finish his sentence, Joshua's feeble voice came from behind Luna.
”Where is Fiona... ”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 825
Luna instantly tensed up when she heard Joshua's voice.
She felt as if she was trapped in a sculpture. Even moving a part of her body was a luxury.
Christian, on the other end of the line, wanted to mention Fiona's name when he heard Joshua's feeble voice.
Fiona's name did not come out of Christian's mouth in the end.
He pursed his lips. An overwhelming feeling of elation washed over him!
Joshua was truly awake! It was neither too early nor too late! It was just in time!
Thus, Christian took a deep breath. “Luna, am I hearing my uncle's voice?"
Perhaps, Joshua was trying to respond to Christian's question. When Christian asked Luna the question, Joshua, on the bed, could not help but yell out once more, “Fiona..."
Christian was sure that Joshua had already come around!
He held his phone and could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
“My uncle is awake! Luna, go take care of him! We'll talk later! "
Then, Christian did not wait for Luna's reply. He immediately hung up.
Luna held onto the phone tightly. She was extremely disheartened hearing the disconnecting tone.
Not because of Christian, but also because of the man behind her.
“Fiona...water...“
Behind her, Joshua's low and hoarse voice gently rang out.
Luna felt the irony.
She took care of Joshua for the past three days because of what Jude said to her as well as the videos he showed her.
Even when Nigel was about to undergo surgery the next day, she was still taking care of Joshua!
What happened then?
Joshua came around. The first name he called was Fiona.
He kept calling Fiona.
Luna was standing right in front of him, yet it was like he could not see her at all. He kept yelling Fiona's voice.
Was Fiona so important to him? She was so important that Luna's hard work for the past three days, even going against her friend's advice to take care of him, was just a joke to him?
“Water...“
She turned around and looked at the miserably pale man on the bed. He has already opened his eyes.
The moment he saw her, there was not much shock in his eyes.
He continued saying in a hoarse voice, “Water...pass me water.“
Luna furrowed her brows. She truly did not want to pass him water.
However, even though she thought that way, her body involuntarily walked over to the side of the table.
She let out a breath and poured him some water in annoyance. Then, she roughly passed him the cup.
“Drink up! “
Some water splashed onto Joshua's hospital gown. He slightly furrowed his brows and accepted the cup of water.
Once he drank the water, his dry throat was comfortable enough to speak properly.
Joshua furrowed his brows.
“Why are you here? Where is Fiona?“
Actually, when he was unconscious, he could vaguely hear Luna's voice. Even when Luna was talking to the doctor and calling Christian.
However, it was like he was in a dream. He could not wake up.
In the end, just when Christian was about to mention Fiona's name, Joshua struggled to wake up with difficulty.
He yelled Fiona's name not because the first person h e wanted to see when he woke up was Fiona. He was instinctively answering Christian's question. He was also warning Christian to not say anything more.
Joshua was extremely clear about how Luna hated Fiona.
He was unsure what reaction Luna would have when she finds out that Fiona's bone marrow was about to be transplanted to Nigel.
Joshua could not risk it. “What do you think?“
Luna coldly rolled her eyes at Joshua who was drinking water.
“You have been out cold for three days, your beloved Ms. Blake has also been sick for three days. She cooped up in her bedroom at Orchard Manor. She has not even been to work. You still could ask me why am I the one taking care of you here and not her?“
Joshua's grip on the cup tightened a little.
“She's sick?“
Luna closed her eyes. She smiled mockingly.
“Yes, she's sick. She's so sick she could not even take care of you! “
Joshua narrowed his eyes.
He could understand Luna's rage and resentment.
However...
Joshua placed the cup down. He immediately picked up his phone next to him on the table.
After being unconscious for so long , his body was still slowly recovering.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 826
Thus, his hands were trembling when he picked his phone up. His phone almost fell to the ground a few times.
However, Joshua did not mind it at all. He picked his phone up with difficulty and called Lucas.
“Lucas, I'm up. Come and pick me from the hospital immediately. I want to head to Orchard Manor and pick Fiona up to head to the hospital.“
Lucas, on the other end of the call, was stunned for a while. Upon remembering that Nigel's surgery was the next day, he instantly understood what Joshua meant.
“Sure, I'll be there! “
Upon receiving Lucas' promise, Joshua let out a sigh of relief. He changed into a more comfortable position and placed his phone by the side.
Looking at him, Luna felt that she was pathetic and comical.
She had been working so hard taking care of him for the past three days yet this was what she got in return?
She initially wanted to tell Joshua about the fact that the donor pulled out last minute.
However, looking at how he was so concerned for Fiona the moment he woke up, Luna did not feel the need to tell him.
What use was there telling him about Nigel's matter?
He never had her nor her children in his eyes. He only had Fiona.
He knew that Nigel's surgery was the next day, yet he did not even mention Nigel. All he thought was Fiona.
He was busy picking Fiona up to head to the hospital. Where did he have the time to bother with Luna and her children?
Luna took a deep breath.
“Since you're already awake and planning to head back to Orchard Manor to pick Fiona up, then I'm sure you don't need me here anymore, Mr. Lynch. I still have an emergency to attend to. I'll make a move first.
“Hmm.“
Looking at Luna leaving, Joshua smiled.
“Thank you for your care the past few days. I 'll get the finance department to increase your pay.“
Luna's hand which was on the doorknob paused fiercely.
After a moment, she laughed.
“Then, I thank you for your generosity, Mr. Lynch. I am indeed short on money.“
Then, Luna did not stay there anymore. She strode away from the ward.
Joshua laid on the bed, looking at Luna leaving, and slightly narrowed his eyes.
He picked his phone up.
“Luna is about to reach your office. Calm her down. Tell her that the donor is willing to undergo the surgery.“
Rowena, on the other end of the call, was stunned. “Mr. Lynch, you're awake! “
“Hmm, I 'm going to pick Fiona up right now. Hold the fort on Luna's side.“
Coming out from the ward, Luna strode to the elevator.
On the way there, her footsteps quickened. There were no expressions on her face.
She was the only one in the elevator.
The moment the elevator doors closed, tears helplessly fell from Luna's eyes.
Her heart hurt so badly as if something was crushing it.
It hurt so much. Luna was in so much pain she leaned against the elevator wall and slid down to the ground.
In the end, she slumped to the ground and sobbed hard on the elevator floor.
Even if she thought her defense was impenetrable, she was still a thoughtful and meticulous woman. It would be impossible for her...
Once she closed her eyes, the scene where Joshua
kept calling Fiona's name when he woke up appeared in her mind.
She suddenly realized that her care for him for the past few days was just a joke.
Time and time again. This was the second time.
Jude might be able to come up with many so -called reasons to prove that Joshua had her in his heart, to prove that Joshua actually cared for her.
However, when she truly faced Joshua, she realized that what Jude said was all a joke.
The first name Joshua yelled when he woke up was Fiona.
That proved that when he was unconscious, all he was thinking about was Fiona.
What other evidence did she need to prove that Joshua likes someone else?
Luna cried her eyes out in the elevator.
However, when the elevator doors opened, Luna's pretty face was only a little flushed. There was not a single drop of tears to be seen.
She has collected all her emotions.
When she exited from the elevator, she immediately noticed Nigel and Nellie standing opposite the elevator entrance.
The two of them were holding hands, quietly waiting for her while leaning against the wall.
Upon seeing her, Nellie let go of Nigel's hand. She ran over.
“Mommy. I'm so happy! Nigel's surgery is tomorrow. He will be as healthy as me in the future. He can healthily accompany me to find Neil! We could be properly together as a family!"
Luna looked at Nellie hugging her. She felt extremely heart wrenching.
Luna sniffled her nose. She bent down and hugged Nellie in her arms.
Endless despair slowly washed over her. “I'm...so useless."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 827
Nigel and Nellie were instantly stunned at Luna's words.
They looked at each other. They did not know why Luna suddenly said those words.
In the end, Nigel, who was the more mature one, furrowed his brows. He leaned his emaciated body against the wall.
“Mommy...did something happen with the bone marrow transplant?“
Nigel's question hit the nail on the head.
Luna closed her eyes and sighed heavily. She nodded.
She let go of Nellie and said seriously, “The donor pulled out last minute. They are not willing to undergo the surgery. I'm planning to look for a doctor right now. No matter what, I have to talk to the donor tonight.“
Since the donor was willing to donate their bone marrow without any reward, that meant that they were willing to help Nigel.
The situation at that moment might be perhaps that they have encountered some problems in life.
Actually, while Luna was crying in the elevator, she had also made up her mind.
It was almost seven in the evening at that moment. The doctor said that if the donor did not arrive at the hospital by nine, the surgery the next day would be called off.
Luna did not have the confidence that she would be able to get the donor's details within the next two hours and convince them to come to the hospital.
However, thankfully, Nigel's condition at that moment was not too serious.
As long as she knew who the donor was, she could properly talk to them. No matter what problem they have encountered, Luna would help them as best as she could, so that the donor would be able to donate the bone marrow without any burdens.
She was even willing to exchange everything she had. As long as she could save Nigel's life.
The surgery could be pushed back, but the donor was one in a million and Nigel's only hope of survival. Luna could not give up.
When Nigel heard Luna's plans, he was silent for a while.
In the end, Nigel, who had a pale face, forced a smile. “Thank you, Mommy.“
He walked over to Luna and hugged her gently.
“No matter how it ends, I 'm grateful to have been your son in this life.“
Luna's eyes started to turn sore at Nigel's words.
She did not dare to continue spending more time with Nigel and Nellie. She got the nurse beside her to send them back to their ward, then she went to Dr. Rowena's office alone.
When Luna pushed the door open. Rowena just placed her phone down.
Seeing Luna entering, Rowena immediately stood up, “Nigel's mother, I was just about to look for you.
About Nigel's surgery tomorrow...“
Luna has already completely accepted the fact that the donor pulled out.
She took a deep breath and said, “Let's push back tomorrow's surgery since the donor is unwilling to Rowena paused for a while before smiling and interrupting Luna.
“I was just about to talk to you about this. I just received the news that the donor is willing to continue with the surgery. We have sent our people to pick the donor up. The donor would be here in the hospital by nine. Don't worry.“
Luna was stunned.
She was overwhelmed by the series of bad news that day.
When she finally received a piece of good news, Luna suddenly felt as if it was unreal.
Luna bit her lips and looked at Rowena seriously. “You're not joking with me, right?“
Rowena looked at Luna.
“Which doctor would joke about such a thing with the patient's family? The donor did indeed promise seriously to come over, but they have a request they hope you would cooperate with.”
Luna paused for a while and immediately asked, ” What request? Will I be able to do it? W-What do you need me to do?”
Looking at how nervous Luna was, Rowena shook her head.
”It's simple.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 828
“The donor hopes that you and your relatives would stop finding out their identity. Whether it be now or after the bone marrow transplant.“
Then, Rowena patted Luna on the shoulders. “Can you do that?“
Luna furrowed her brows. “That simple?“
She thought that the donor would pull out suddenly because they have encountered an unsolvable problem.
Luna speculated that it was most probably financial problems. She was even ready to borrow another lump sum from Bonnie.
However, Luna did not expect that the request that the donor came up with was just to forbid her to look for the donor?
“Yes.“
Perhaps, Rowena has long guessed that Luna would react this way. Rowena nodded.
“The donor already knows that you previously tried to investigate them, so this is a warning.“
Luna paused for a while. “Okay, I understand.“
Luna only wanted to find the donor so she could do something to express her appreciation.
Turns out, not only did she find the wrong person, she nearly made a gross mistake.
Since the donor has already requested that, Luna would no longer continue looking for the donor.
Seeing Luna agreeing to the request, Rowena let out a sigh of relief.
“That's great. Go back home. Nigel's surgery is tomorrow. All you need to do as his mother is to properly keep him accompanied.“
Luna nodded before turning around and leaving.
When she returned to the ward, her two children were still planning the next day in disappointment.
Luna excitedly rushed over to hug them. “Problem solved. The surgery will go on as usual tomorrow! “
Nigel and Nellie looked at each other in surprise. They were so excited that they were rendered speechless.
In the end, Nellie suggested for Luna to buy ice cream to celebrate.
Of course, it was only ice cream for Luna and her. Nigel had to prepare for the surgery the next day, he could not simply eat any type of food.
Luna agreed and went to the supermarket downstairs in a good mood.
Not only did she buy Nellie ice cream, she even got Bonnie to help search for the best computer and keyboard in Banyan City. She planned to give Nigel a surprise after the surgery the next day.
Just when Luna was going back to the hospital entrance from the supermarket with ice cream in her hand, a black Maseratee flew past her.
Finally, the car stopped by the entrance of the hospital.
The car door opened and Joshua came down from the car. He went around the car and carried Fiona, who was in a white dress, up.
He was still wearing the hospital gown that Luna put on him when taking care of him for the past few days.
Also, when Joshua was carrying Fiona, she could clearly see the sweat on Joshua's forehead.
Luna narrowed her eyes and sneered. Joshua would really do anything for Fiona.
He had been unconscious for the past three days. He was still a patient, yet he still pretended as if nothing had happened and carried Fiona down the car.
Luna did not believe that Fiona's sickness would be more serious than Joshua, who had passed out for three days.
Just when Luna was standing in the distance looking at them with the ice cream in her hands, Fiona turned her head around.
Their eyes met.
Fiona smiled at Luna provocatively. Then, she obediently and gently looked at Joshua who was carrying her.
“Joshua, why don't you let me down. I can walk on my own. You just got better, don't tire yourself out."
Joshua replied in a low and calm voice, “I'm fine. Your body is the most important thing."
Then, Joshua strode into the hospital with Fiona in his arms.
“Why did you stay at home if you're sick instead of coming to the hospital? You make me worried for you Luna stood in the same spot and looked at Joshua and Fiona leaving. She sneered.
Joshua truly brought it upon himself.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 829
When Luna brought the ice cream back to the ward, Nigel was already asleep.
Nigel was very understanding. To not let others worry for him, he has long tucked himself in bed and fell asleep.
Luna placed the ice cream in front of Nellie. She opened one and passed it to Nellie.
“Mommy, Dr. Rowena said that she was looking for you just now.“
Nellie obediently accepted the ice cream from Luna. She ate and said, “She asked you to look for her once you return. I think it has something to do with Nigel's surgery tomorrow.“
Once Luna heard it had something to do with Nigel, she did not dare waste another second. She got up and headed out to Rowena's office.
Turns out, Rowena was not at her office. The intern doctor got Luna to sit down.
“A patient just arrived just now. Dr. Rowena went to attend to them. Please wait for a while.“
Luna nodded. She sat on the chair waiting while sending messages to Bonnie and Anne.
She thought that Rowena would return soon, but she waited for half an hour.
In the end, Luna gave up waiting. Once she inquired which room Rowena was in, Luna took her phone and went to look for her.
However, Luna did not expect that Rowena would be in Fiona's ward.
When Luna knocked on the door and entered, Rowena was checking up on Fiona in the bed.
Fiona was like an empress in a period drama, lazily lying on the bed. One hand was being checked upon by the doctor while holding Joshua's hand with the other hand.
“Dr. Rowena...“
Luna knocked on the door. She wanted to say something when she saw the scene before her.
Luna was first shocked, then she came to a realization and smiled mockingly.
She almost forgot.
Joshua had once sent Rowena to Orchard Manor to become Fiona's personal doctor.
At that moment, Fiona was sick, the doctor that was checking up on her should be Dr. Rowena too.
However...
Luna looked at Fiona's actions at that moment as well as Joshua next to her. She could not help but laugh mockingly.
The three of them in the ward looked up when they heard Luna's voice.
Dr. Rowena paused for a while before turning around to look at Luna. She smiled rather embarrassingly.
“I 'm sorry, Nigel's mother. I thought I would finish things up here quickly. I made you wait and even come to look for me. Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that...“
Rowena turned to look at Joshua before turning back to smile at Luna.
“It's about the medical bills. Mr. Lynch actually paid for Nigel's surgery beforehand, but because he was unconscious, the staff on shift that day made a mistake, that was why it was not registered in the account. I looked for you because I wanted to return the medical bills that you paid today back to you.“
Luna furrowed her brows.
She knew that Rowena was not telling the truth.
First, it was such a huge hospital, the staff would not have made such a low-level mistake.
Second, even if the staff were careless, when they saw that the person that was paying was Joshua, they would not have forgotten to register.
The only reason why Rowena said all those was because Joshua was the one that arranged it.
He wanted Luna to return the money back to Bonnie so that his son's surgery would be using all of his money.
After all, the agreement that they signed clearly stated that when Joshua paid Nigel's surgery in full only then will the agreement be in effect.
Joshua just came around, yet he already wanted Luna to return the money to Bonnie. His intentions were obvious.
He still did not want to let Luna go. He did not want Luna to leave Banyan City that easily.
However, why did Joshua not want Luna to leave that easily?
Luna was clear that it was not because of what Jude said, that Joshua cared for her a lot. The real reason...
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 830
Luna narrowed her eyes and looked at Joshua, who was leaning by the bed. Her eyes were filled with mockery.
The real reason was that he hoped that she continued staying in the Lynch Group so she could be bullied by his beloved Ms. Blake, right?
Joshua was still the same as before. Cold and heartless.
To make his lover happy, he was willing to spend a huge amount of money to continue torturing his ex- wife.
The ex-wife that took care of him for three days and three nights when he was unconscious.
“Okay, I understand.“
Luna took a deep breath. She swept Joshua a cold glance and smiled at Rowena.
“It's late. I should head back and rest. I 'll come to find you tomorrow to deal with the refund.“
Then, Luna turned around and was about to leave.
“Hold up.“
Luna only turned and took two steps when Fiona's sweet and gentle voice rang.
Fiona pursed her lips and said in a very light and gentle tone, “Ms. Luna, I have something to say to you.“
Luna furrowed her brows. She did not want to deal with Fiona, but she was apprehensive of Joshua who was next to her.
Joshua would do anything to make Fiona happy.
Nigel was about to have his surgery the next day. Luna did not want to create extra problems.
At that thought, Luna turned around and smiled at Fiona.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Ms. Blake?“ “I just want to thank you.“
Although Fiona sounded polite, her posture was lazy yet high and mighty, leaning by the head of the bed.
Fiona looked at Luna as if she was the empress looking at her subjects.
“My health has not been great for the past few days. I don't even have the strength to get out of bed, so I couldn't come to the hospital to take care of Joshua. I heard that you have stayed by Joshua's side for the past three days...“
Fiona lowered her head. She said with teary eyes, “ I'm truly grateful for all that you do for me and Joshua...“
Then, Fiona raised her head and sniffled her nose. She looked at Luna seriously.
“However, Ms. Luna, you're Joshua's ex-wife, after all. Although I know that you long had no feelings for Joshua and that you don't like him that much anymore, I...still feel uncomfortable when I see the both of you together. So...“
Fiona took a piece of tissue and gently wiped away her tears. Her eyes were reddened.
“I beg of you, can you keep a distance from Joshua in the future? It would be better for the three of us."
Then, Fiona bit her lips and looked at Joshua innocently with her huge eyes.
“Joshua, is my request too much to ask for?"
Joshua narrowed his eyes. He calmly held her hand. “
No."
Looking at the lovers in front of her, Luna laughed. Her smiles were filled with mockery.
“I should thank Dr. Rowena, because of her mistake, I could witness this couple in love."
Fiona's face turned a little pale upon Luna's words.
She bit her lips and looked at Luna. She was feeling aggrieved.
“I'm only speaking my mind. I did not mean to show off in front of you, Ms. Luna..."
“I know."
Luna turned to look at Fiona. Her eyes were cold.
“But, Ms. Blake, you want me to keep a distance from Joshua. This request is too challenging for me."
