Chapter 760

These were his true feelings, right? He was only willing to admit them under extreme anger.

It turned out that all the love he appeared to harbor toward the children was fake.

He was just as cold and heartless as he was six years ago; Luna was just too nalve to see that. She
suddenly realized how stupid she was to believe Jude and think that Joshua still cared about her and
their children.

She closed her eyes and let out a bitter smile. “I understand now, Mr. Lynch. I won’t bother you nor Ms.
Blake anymore. I ‘ll resort to being a timid little dog instead.“

Luna was indeed having financial difficulties, but on top of that, she could not leave Banyan City. The
doctor had told her that the donor whose bone marrow Nigel would be receiving had arrived in Banyan
City and refused to go anywhere else.

Therefore, Luna had no choice but to stay.

She could not leave Banyan City, but at the same time, she could not afford to lose her job either.

Banyan City was Joshua’s territory. She needed money, and most of all, she needed to stay and provide
Nigel and Nellie with a good living environment so they could be cured.

Therefore…she had no choice but to persevere.

How hard would that be? She had escaped death once before. She could do anything.

Seeing Luna’s helpless expression, Joshua felt a twinge of pain shoot through his heart.

He had not meant to say such harsh things to her on purpose, but he was worried that if he did not do
so, Luna would offend Fiona again. At this point, he had to keep Fiona in a stable emotional state so that
her physical health would not be affected.



Nigel’s life depended on her, and he could not afford to wait any longer.

At the same time, Fiona did not have much time left either.

“President Lynch…“ Just as Joshua was lost in his thoughts, Shannon suddenly lunged forward to grab
his arm.

Joshua furrowed his brows and immediately came to. All of a sudden, he realized that he had
subconsciously tightened his grip while he was zoning out…and his fingers were still wrapped around
Luna’s neck.

His grip on her was so tight that she had difficulty breathing, and her face had turned a dark shade of
greenish-purple. However, despite this, she had not said a single word in protest at all.

Joshua immediately let go of her.

Luna managed to catch her breath, but at the same time, her legs gave out beneath her. She slid down
the wall and slumped into a heap on the floor.

She still refused to say a single word.

When Shannon rushed over to grab her hand, Luna let out a chuckle and reassured her in a weak voice,
” I’m fine.”

Heartache engulfed Joshua’s entire being upon this sight. He could not help but feel that Luna was like a
porcelain doll, silent and fragile, yet resolute and determined at the same time.

Meanwhile, Marianne was so astounded by this scene that she was speechless. First, she glanced at
Luna, then at Joshua, and finally put two and two together.



No wonder this lady was so upset about Ms. Blake and Mr. Lynch. It turned out she was Mr. Lynch’s ex-
wife!

Marianne snorted in indignation and looked down at Luna. ”You were right. You should resort to being a
timid little dog from now on. Don’t you dare offend our precious Ms. Blake any further. After all, the
reason she came here to Banyan City was for your— ”

Before she could finish her sentence, however, the door to Fiona’s ward opened. A pale-faced Fiona
came out and, holding onto the doorframe , let out a feeble cough. ”Joshua. I didn’t know… ”

Tears were welling up in her eyes as she said, ”I didn’t know Ms. Luna is the mother of your two
children.” She lifted her gaze and shot Joshua a helpless glance. ”I heard everything. What you said just
now was unacceptable.”

With that, Fiona lowered her gaze and glanced at Luna, who was still slumped on the floor. ”Ms. Luna,
please don’t misinterpret what Joshua said just now.

He was just angry and wasn’t thinking straight. Even if there’s nothing going on between you two
anymore, you’re still the mother of his children, so he wouldn’t be so heartless toward you.

“I’ll make sure he treats you better in the future. I know life hasn’t been easy on you either.” She then
lifted her head to glance at Joshua. “Joshua, you should apologize to Ms. Luna.”
