Chapter 1099

Because of her?

Luna stared at Christian with wide eyes.

Christian let out a sigh and sat down in the chair next to her bed. Then, he picked up a banana from the
bedside table and started eating it, sighing at the same time. “I heard that both Dr. and Mrs. Jenson, as
well as Fiona, had died, so I flew back here from abroad immediately. When I got back, the first thing I
did was find you, but then I discovered that you were lying here…

“I had no idea that you passed out due to physical exertion, so when I saw you lying here on the bed,
unconscious, I thought that you were in a vegetative state.

“And I…“ Christian let out an awkward cough. “I cried, right in front of your bed.“

Luna was so stunned by this that she could not say a single word.

Although Christian was only 19, he was still a tall, burly man. Luna could not believe that he had cried for
her while she was unconscious.

“When I was crying, I said that I wanted to marry you and that if I had found evidence of Fiona’s lies
earlier, none of this would’ve happened, and I shouldn’t have told you about Fiona’s fake illness in the
first place…

“I didn’t know Joshua had been standing at the door

all this while, so he heard everything. That’s why I got beaten up…

“He said that if I had told him the truth earlier, even though he wouldn’t believe it at first, everything
wouldn’t have turned out this way. He said that both of you almost died in this incident…“ Christian
rubbed the bruises on his face as he said this. “ Joshua didn’t show me any mercy at all.



“Initially, when I came back, I intended to visit you, then go back to my hometown to see my family before
attending the trial of Violet’s death. After all, even though I wasn’t the mastermind behind her murder, I
still made a mistake, and I know I can’t get out of prosecution. I don’t intend to hide anymore, either, but
now…“

Christian took out his phone and sighed as he stared at his own mirror image through the front -facing
camera. “I can’t possibly go home looking like this. I f my parents find out that Joshua was the one who
beat me up, they’ll demand he apologize, and then…it would be chaos. I guess I ‘ll just have to bear with
this.“

Luna pursed her lips and sighed, too, as she stared at Christian’s wounded face. “I pity you.“

She knew better than anyone that even if Christian had told Joshua the truth since the start, Joshua
would not believe him anyway.

After all, he loved Fiona so much that he hung onto her every word, so how could he possibly doubt his
precious Ms. Blake all because of what Christian said?

Beating up and scolding Christian for not telling the truth earlier was simply Joshua’s way of saving face.

As soon as she thought of this, Luna suddenly felt stupid for feeling embarrassed when Joshua stared at
her tenderly.

Even though this man had managed to save both her and Nigel on the mountaintop, this did not mean
she could forgive him and go back to loving him again.

If that was the case, then why did she feel so bashful back then?

As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and glanced at Christian. “Well, since you can’t go
back to your hometown anymore, stay in



Banyan City. My children and I have escaped death, so I think it’s high time we celebrate this. Stay here
and celebrate with us, and you can help me in the meantime, too.“

Christian froze for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately nodded. “Alright! “

Luna leaned against the headboard and rested for a short while. Then, after making sure that she was
alright, she called Anne and Bonnie and talked to them about hosting a small gathering at Blue Bay Villa
that night, to celebrate her near-death escape.

Besides, a party would be a good way of making Nellie and Nigel feel better after what they had
experienced.

After all, they still had a long battle to fight, one that concerned Aura.

After calling Anne and Bonnie, Luna called Gwen, who was still in Sea City, as well.

Gwen was so excited to hear about the party that she exclaimed, ”I’ll ask Luke to prepare right now!

Banyan City is only a few hours away. I’ in sure I can make it for tonight ! ”
