Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1457
The elevator descended from the top floor of the hospital.
All throughout the elevator ride, Joshua held Luna close to him.
Luna remained silent as she let him hold her. However, she did not say a single word in response to what Joshua had said.
Joshua, too, knew that Luna’s mind was probably in a jumble of emotions, so he did not force her to give him an answer.
Luna slowly stepped out of the elevator as though her soul had been sucked out of her body.
What was Joshua doing here? How much did he overhear between her and Charles?
Joshua guessed that Luna must not have been in a mood to talk, so he did not say a word throughout the car ride back to Tea Cottage.
The two of them sat in the backseat in silence, gazing blankly at the passing view.
The air between them was eerily silent.
Never had they imagined that…one of them was a Lynch, and the other was a Landry.
Mortal enemies.
The Landry family had murdered Granny Lynch’s daughter, Lucy, while the Lynch family killed Charles ‘ brother, Colin.
These two people’s lives were entwined with numerous acts of vengeance and saboteur that almost led to Landry and Lynch Group’s bankruptcies.
On top of that, with Granny Lynch’s death added into the mix…
Many, many years of hatred and hostility. The car soon arrived at Tea Cottage.
As soon as the car stopped, Luna pushed open the door. Just as she was about to close the door behind her, Joshua frowned and called out, “Luna.“
Luna lifted her head in response.
“The reason I came to Merchant City is to bring you
home so that I can give you a proper wedding and the three children a home. Please don’t disappoint us.”
He could tell from her silence and how she looked that she was hesitating. He bit his lip and recalled what Christopher had told him when he held him by his neck in the hospital.
“Actually, I have an idea that might prevent you and Luna from having to stay apart.
“If Rosalyn hadn’t fallen ill, Luna wouldn’t have agreed to visit her at all. I’m guessing that the Landry family will use Rosalyn’s illness as an excuse to force Luna to return to their side. Therefore, if we can cure Rosalyn before that, Luna will no longer have to return to the Landry family.
“As I said previously, there’s a cure for Rosalyn, but I’m missing a crucial ingredient called the Clinging Root, which grows on the edge of steep cliffs. “On top of that…it’s only found in Banyan City.”
Joshua closed his eyes and suddenly felt his body grow heavy.
Christopher had shown him the photos of the Clinging Root that he needed.
Joshua had seen those plants before, at the cliff where Fiona had plummeted to her death.
He had almost died there.
Joshua fell into silence for a long time, then finally took out his phone.
