After a while, the emergency room door opened.The doctor came out with a frown. “Give me a list of things Mr. Lynch had consumed today. I want to inspect them all.”Lucas’ brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”“He has been drugged with a powerful laxative.”Luna was speechless. Without saying anything, she knew who drugged Joshua.After all, before she came back, a little kid of hers purposely went to the doctors to say he had serious constipation.Luna sighed helplessly. This was nonsense! “Also.” The doctor looked at Lucas coldly. “You know that he has a bad digestive system. How could you let him have iced drinks at night?”Lucas was stunned. He remembered that it was Neil who gave Joshua the drink, yet it was a laxative…He took a deep breath. “Luna, please take care of Joshua. I’m going to call the butler to take note of the servants who made dinner tonight.”Upon saying that, he felt that something was off once more. Everyone had dinner together that night. Why were Nel
Luna had no laxatives on her.She lowered her head. “I didn’t bring them with me.”“Lucas,” Joshua’s tone was ice-cold as he spoke, “go back to Blue Bay Villa and bring the remaining laxatives over.”Then, he had a slightly flirtatious look. He looked at Luna with his deep, sharp eyes. “Where did you put it?”Luna bit her lip. She did not know why this man was suddenly so excited and insistent she consumed the laxatives he had consumed.She furrowed her brows. “Mr. Lynch, it’s too much of a trouble to get Lucas to go back and take them. We’re in a hospital, why don’t we get the doctor to—”“Yes!” Lucas clearly did not want to make a trip back to Blue Bay Villa, but before Luna could finish, Lucas interrupted, “Sir, why don’t I go and get the doctor now?”“I said, I want her to eat her remaining portion.” Joshua swept a cold glance at Lucas. His tone was cold enough to freeze the Arctic. “Don’t you get it?”Lucas was stunned. His expressions darkened gradually.He raised his ey
“You were the one who wanted to get in my bed and become my woman, yet you refuse to get intimate with me. You drugged me, and you even refused to drink what I drank,” spoke Joshua as he eyed Luna coldly. “Luna, what on earth are you trying to do?” His gaze was so overpowering that Luna did not dare look at him. She gently coughed and remained silent with her head lowered.“According to your previous plans, it’s only right that you drug me, but it shouldn’t be laxative.” The man’s voice was magnetic and pleasing to the ears.Luna felt her chest tightened. She bit her lip. “I…”Joshua shut his eyes and flatly concluded, “Your goal isn’t me,” “Tell me then, what do you want?” His voice was soft.Was she trying to pretend to be Luna Gibson? Perhaps she just liked Nellie? These two reasons were not convincing enough on why Luna wanted to stay by his side.There must be some other reason.Luna bit her lip. As usual, this man was so sensible that it was terrifying. She did not dare
Luna gasped. “None!” She denied it instantly, afraid that Joshua would find out about her relationship with Neil.Joshua said nothing about it as he merely looked at her meaningfully, to which Luna grew more anxious by the second.After a while, she lifted her head. “I’m not related to him—honest. I just...” Luna took a deep breath and looked at Lucas who was standing next to Joshua.“It’s because of Mr. Bean. He said that he wanted to find out who drugged you. He said that if it wasn’t me, it’d be the other little boy outside.”At the mention of Neil, Luna pretended to be estranged from him. “I’m guessing that the little boy was just playing a prank on you, but he won’t be able to take it if you get angry. He’s just a young boy, after all.”“So you took it upon yourself and admitted that you drugged me?”“Mmh.”“Ah.” Joshua raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Who knew that Ms. Luna would be such a caring person to an unknown child?”Luna nodded and smiled lightly. “Yes, that’s my
Joshua smiled. “That’s true.” Then, Joshua looked at Luna. “Somehow, I don’t care what you do to Aura. I’m quite looking forward to seeing who’d win.” Luna’s heart sank. No wonder he did not mention Aura previously; he was waiting for her to do that. He wanted to see who would win between her and Aura? Luna doubted so.Joshua was only trying to give Aura some sense of crisis, since he felt that he had spoiled Aura too much, perhaps?After all, Joshua was willing to kill Luna—who was pregnant with the triplets—back then because of Aura, what more at that moment?Unfortunately, back then, Joshua tried to please Aura, and it tortured her. At that moment, to please Aura, she still had to be tortured.Luna could not help but feel bitter at the thought, but her smile never faded. “Naturally, I won’t be able to beat Ms. Gibson.”Whether it be six years ago or six years after, she would always lose to Aura. “That’s not necessarily true.” Joshua closed his eyes. He gently rubbed th
Luna took Nellie and Neil back to Blue Bay Villa, and she texted Anne that Neil was with her on the way there.“Tsk, tsk! The scumbag’s house is pretty nice.” It was Neil’s first time in the villa. As he eyed the villa’s understated luxury, he could not help but scoff, “The four of us lived in a dozen square meters space when we were overseas, but he lived in such a huge place here alone!”Luna furrowed her brows. “Neil, watch what you’re saying!” Luckily, the maids were off work at that time, or they would have been in big trouble if someone overheard him! “I’ve looked around, and no else but the three of us are in this building right now.” Neil smiled cheekily and raised his pinky finger, tugging at Luna’s fingers. “Mommy, I know what you’re worried about. I’ll be good!”“Tsk.” Nellie rolled her eyes at Neil. She crossed her arms at her chest and sat on the sofa angrily. “If you were, you wouldn’t have landed Daddy in the hospital and Mommy taking the blame for you.”The more
Neil did not give anything away; that was why he wanted Nigel to take a guess! “Firstly, you just returned not long ago. There aren’t many places you can go to. Also, you want me to take a guess, this place must be somewhere I can think of but won’t dare to believe it. Lastly, this place sounded exciting and interesting to you, so you just had to share it with me.”Nigel still had a child-like voice, but his tone was mature and calm. “With all things considered, the place you are at should be that scumbag Joshua Lynch’s house.”Neil was utterly depressed. “It’s no fun playing with you.”“So don’t play boring things like these.” Nigel gently smiled. “Tell me, why are you at his place?”Neil pursed his lips and recounted what happened that night to Nigel.“You’re too reckless,” said Nigel earnestly. “Luckily, Mommy handled it well. If not, that scumbag might find out about your relations with Mommy. Next time, wherever you go and anything you do in the country, he’ll know about it
Neil spent almost an hour in Joshua’s study before he came out.He carefully returned to the guest bedroom. Once he was under his covers, he texted, [Nigel, resume the surveillance and recordings]. [Mmh.] Nigel texted while controlling the system, [What took you so long?]Even if the size of Joshua’s folders were huge, it would not take so long.Neil was silent for a while before he picked up his phone and replied, [I saw some stuff on this computer, and I copied them down. Will send it over together with the documents to you. It has to do with Mommy].[Okay.]Unable to feel the change in his brother’s emotions, Nigel replied directly, [I’ve resumed the system. It should be quite late over at your end. Rest. You can send me the documents tomorrow].[Okay!]After replying, Neil put his phone under the pillow and hugged his chest as he gazed at the ceiling in the dark.He had always been under his Mommy’s influence and under the impression that Joshua was a cheating scumbag w
