“Doctor, didn’t you say I have to take a drip?“
Luna turned and glanced at the doctor. “Do you want to take it now?“
The doctor frowned, then realized he might have misspoken, and left after leaving behind the words. “ I’ll go prepare it now.“
After the doctor left, Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Neil who was still unconscious.
Then, he turned his head and looked at his reflection in the glass windows.
Somehow, they did… look alike.
He studied his reflection in the mirror, a smile at the corners of his lips. “I wouldn’t have realized it if he didn’t say anything.“
On the surface, Luna looked calm and collected, but deep down, she was panicking!
Joshua was a very perceptive man; she was worried he would notice something.
Previously, even though she successfully tricked him by using the excuse that she was Luna Gibson’s good friend, but the children…that would be hard to explain.
Taking in a deep breath, she smiled, her eyes narrowing into thin crescent moons and glanced at Joshua, “Maybe all good-looking people look alike. My ex-husband is definitely not as good-looking as Neil.“
Joshua lifted his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.
Very soon, the doctor brought the drip over and the nurse inserted it into Neil’s arm.
Luna took a stool and sat beside the little guy, guarding him quietly.
Joshua stood beside the door, his tall, lengthy figure leaning on the doorframe, his gaze that was locked on both mother and son turning dark and meaningful.
The next day.
Sunshine lit up the entire room, and Luna gradually stirred from her sleep.
She opened her eyes, and immediately, the bright sunlight entered her eyes.
She… was sleeping in the bedroom in Blue Bay Villa?
She was startled and immediately lifted the blankets and jumped out of bed.
But…
She pursed her lips. “How did he react… to my sleep talk?“
Even though Luna did not mention him by name, Nellie knew she was talking about Joshua.
The little girl shrugged. “Daddy didn’t show much of a reaction, but he was in a good mood, he even carried you back home! “
Luna furrowed her brows and remained silent for a while, then raised her head. “Where’s Neil?“
“In his own room, he doesn’t want to see anyone.“
Nellie jumped out of her mother’s arms, reached out and grabbed her hands. “It hurts me to see his face all red and swollen like that.”
Luna was dragged by Nellie to Neil’s room.
This was a boy’s room which Joshua specifically decorated for Neil.
Luna thought Joshua would just view Neil as the son of his ex-wife’s best friend, so he would not treat Neil with the same care and love as he did Neil
