Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1050
She rushed over and hurriedly grabbed Luna’s hand. “You’re awake?! Are you thirsty, hungry? I’ll get Luke to hire the best chef and cook for you, okay?“
Seeing her friend’s apparent concern for her well- being, Luna smiled bitterly. “Now that you mention it, I am hungry. Can you order something light for me, please?“
Gwen nodded quickly, turned around, and left the ward.
Luna leaned back on the hospital bed and listened as Gwen ordered the guard at the door to keep a tight eye on her, her lips lifting into a faint smile. But even if she smiled, it still hurt.
After being tortured for the past few days, her lips were dry and cracked, even slight movements of her lips brought piercing pain.
Luna licked her lips and silently raised her left hand. There was a gap on her left hand where her little finger used to be. It could never return. The gap would remain for the rest of her life. Just like her heart. After a part of her heart was cut off by Joshua, the gap would always be there.
A whole day had passed. She wondered if he found out that she had made an escape? If he did, would he seal the entire city to look for her? What a pity, she had escaped out of Banyan City, out of his sphere of influence.
Luna knew that she should be happy. But somehow,
she could not manage a smile or a laugh. Her children, Nellie, Nigel, and Neil…were all still in Banyan City. She could not hide in Sea City forever. Sooner or later, she would have to return to that cage.
At that moment, a phone that sat at the head of her bed rang. It did not belong to her, but the caller ID indicated that it was a call from Nigel. She could not help but answer the call immediately. She was desperate for her children’s voices.
“Mommy! How are you?“
The moment the call was connected, words poured out of Nigel’s mouth before Luna could say anything. “Aunt Gwen left you this phone. This is an encrypted call. You have to hide, only come back after you manage to find evidence that Fiona Blake is pretending to be ill! Don’t worry, Nellie and I will be fine! “
Listening to Nigel’s voice on the other end of the phone, tears streamed down Luna’s cheeks. With these few simple sentences, even without explaining, Luna understood… Nigel had been behind last night’s plan. But they were living with Joshua, anything they did or said could easily raise Joshua’s suspicions.
She did not want them to get involved in this. That was why she pretended to be very relaxed when they visited her at the asylum yesterday, or when she dealt with the issues with Fiona. But…her son knew her the best.
All of her feigned resilience and strength did not escape Nigel’s sharp eyes. The little guy knew about everything. Not only did he know, he even worked with Luke and Gwen to help her escape out of that hellhole.
She bit her lip. “Nigel, thank you.” “Mommy…”
Before she could finish, the sound of a door opening drifted from Nigel’s end of the phone. After the door opened, Joshua’s low and cold voice was heard. “ Nigel, what did you do yesterday?”
Once these words were heard, the call came to an abrupt end. Luna held the phone, biting her lower lip firmly.
What was he going to do Nigel?
