Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1278
Luna curled her lips into a smile and reached out her hand to stroke Joshua’s face. “Granny Lynch’s condition is so dire that she even gave me instructions on what to do after she passed…“
Luna let out a cough and continued, “So I asked Dr. Janet to give me some drugs to fake the same illness that Granny Lynch has. As soon as I stop taking the medication, I’ll return to normal. Don’t worry… I won’t die.“
She clutched her chest with one hand while the other was still stroking Joshua’s face. “I didn’t know how miserable it felt to be so sick.“
Joshua’s expression darkened when he saw how forced Luna’s smile was. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Since Dr. Janet was the one who gave you the medication to fake this illness, then where did she go? Apparently, she disappeared, according to the doctors outside.“
Luna let out a bitter laugh. “Yes. Initially, Dr. Janet wanted to give me low doses of this drug, but I was afraid it wouldn’t fool Aura, so I asked her to use a higher dose instead…
“Dr. Janet was afraid that you’d get mad at her as soon as you saw how bad of a condition I was in, so she escaped.“
A hint of a smile crept across Luna’s pale face as she added, “Seeing how anxious you were, I guess this would be able to fool Aura as well. Please remember
that as soon as Aura brings out the antidote and asks you who the save, you have to…you have to choose Granny.
“I’m fine. I really am.“
Joshua clutched Luna’s hand tightly. “Are you…are you sure? I’m already starting to suspect that Dr. Janet gave you the exact same poison that Aura used.“
“Of course it wasn’t.“ Luna chuckled. “If it was, how can I be so calm right now and even let you choose Granny over me?
“Neil’s memory hasn’t recovered yet, and Nigel and Nellie are still young. As for you…“
Luna reached out her hand to caress Joshua’s face. “ You’ve just given me the marriage certificate and haven’t even hosted the wedding ceremony that you owe me yet. How can I die at this point?“
As soon as he heard this, Joshua lowered his head and heaved a deep sigh.
All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door. His time was up.
Joshua gripped Luna’s hand tightly and said, “Please remember what you said. Take good care of yourself
With that, he turned and left somewhat reluctantly.
Shortly after Joshua left, someone pushed the door open again. This time, the person who entered was Aura, who was wearing a protective suit as well, along with a doctor.
“My dearest sister, what has happened to you?“ Aura sat down gracefully next to Luna.
She lifted her head to glance at the medical equipment hooked up on Luna and snickered. “I never thought you’d have to live on machines at such a young age.“
She raised her eyebrows and shot Luna a glance. “ How does it feel like, knowing you’re about to die at any second?“
Luna shot her a cold glance but did not reply. She was exhausted at this moment and did not have the energy to talk to someone like Aura.
Seeing that Luna remained silent, Aura curled her lips into a smirk. “Look how pitiful you are.“ She took out a phone and snapped a picture of Luna lying on her hospital bed.
With that, she chuckled, ignoring Luna’s angry stare. “Guess who I ‘m going to show this photo to? Why don’t I send it to Nigel and Nellie?
“If I remember correctly, they’re both at Lynch Mansion now, but Lynch Mansion’s designated car is parked at the hospital entrance right now, after sending Granny Lynch into the hospital last night.
“There’s only one car left at Lynch Mansion. Do you think Nigel and Nellie will ask the driver to drive that car to see you? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you… “Michael had cut off the brake cables of that car.“
