Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1051
Listening to the beeps of the phone, Luna felt confused and upset. She did not know what Joshua did to Nigel on the other end of the phone, but judging from Joshua’s tone when he entered the room, he sounded as if he was there to accuse Nigel of a crime.
Did he…find out she had escaped and knew that Nigel was somehow involved?
Luna rested against the headboard, gripping the phone tightly in her right hand, trying to calm herself but failing repeatedly.
Would Joshua give Nigel a hard time? If he did, what could Luna do?
Her fear grew the more she thought about it, but she did not dare call him.
If… If Joshua did not realize that she had escaped, calling Nigel would just serve to expose herself.
While she was in the middle of her frenzied thoughts, Gwen pushed open the door with a tray of food in her hands. Seeing her uneasy expression, she set up the bed tray and frowned as she spoke, “What are you thinking about?“
Luna raised her head and told Gwen about Nigel’s call. “I’m worried that Joshua knows…“
“Most probably not.“ After pondering the issue for a moment, Gwen patted Luna lightly on the back and handed her the spoon. “Don’t worry. We have spies in Banyan City. If Joshua finds out you’re gone, he’ll conduct a city-wide search. At the moment, we haven’t received any such news yet.”
The woman’s words finally calmed Luna’s racing heart. She nodded. ”That’s true. ” Gwen had a point. If Joshua started combing the city for her, the entire city would know. At this thought, she finally lowered her head and started eating. Since Nellie and Nigel came to visit her yesterday, she had not eaten anything. 25 hours had passed, and she was starving.
After drinking the warm soup, Luna felt as if she had been resurrected from death. As if she had suddenly remembered something, she lifted her eyes and glanced at Gwen. ”Yesterday, Luke said that the woman who took my place in the asylum…owes it to me?”
She smiled. ”Why don’t I remember anyone in Banyan City owing me anything?”
Gwen paused and smiled. ”Actually, I don’t know who she is either. She approached us and said that she ‘owed it to you’ , so she wanted to take your place in the asylum. Besides being older than you, her figure and everything else is quite similar to yours, so we asked her again whether she really wanted to help you, then brought her to the asylum.” Gwen scratched her head. ”The situation was urgent yesterday, and we couldn’ t find anyone else at such short notice, so we didn’t ask her too many questions Luna bit her lip. An elderly lady with a similar figure to hers, saying that she owed her a favor… She had no idea who it was either.
“Don’t worry about her. The doctors at the asylum won’t give her a tough time once they realize she’s not you.” Gwen advised her and added, “Focus on your own condition. Look at you!”
Luna sighed. At the moment, that was the only thing she could do, but she was still worried about Nigel. Nevertheless, she did not dare to contact him so casually.
After Gwen left, she laid down on the bed, tossing and turning, sleep eluding her. Finally, she took out the phone and scrolled through the news, trying to distract herself. Somehow, she discovered the piece of news reporting Janice Yale’s disappearance.
The video showed a clip taken from the recording of the CCTV camera located outside the ice cream shop beside the waterpark. The screen showed Janice leading Nellie and Nigel into the ice cream shop. Half an hour later, only Nellie and Nigel walked out of the shop.
