Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1290
Aura let out an exhale and said, “Actually, the antidote isn’t with me. I need my sister…my friend, to send it over.“ She lowered her head to glance at the time and calculated before adding, “It’ll need about three days.“
With that, she snaked her arm around Joshua’s and fixated her wide eyes on him. “Even though the antidote will only be here in three days, I have some medication that can help ease Granny’s symptoms. Should we bring it to the hospital for her?“
Joshua went silent for a moment, then smiled and patted Aura on the head. “Sure.“
This scene pained Bonnie and the three children. The four of them exchanged glances and seemed as though they wanted to say something, but they could not.
After all, they could not reprimand Joshua and tell him that he should not save his grandmother, could they?
After a long pause, Bonnie said in a husky voice, “ Neil, let’s send you back to the hospital. Theo can’t find you, and he’s worried sick.“
Neil shot Joshua a meaningful glance but said nothing and, instead, rolled away in his wheelchair. Nellie and Nigel followed him.
Finally, Bonnie let out an exhale and stared at Joshua, who had his arm around Aura. “Luna made me promise her not to argue with you or disturb you, so I’ll keep my mouth shut from today onward, but I don’t believe that Luna can’t be saved without Aura’s antidote. There must be another way, and I’m going to find it.“
With that, she turned around and left.
Joshua stared at Bonnie’s retreating figure with a dark expression.
Meanwhile, Aura clutched onto his arm and said in a sweet voice, “Joshua, do you think we should tell Granny Lynch about the good news that I’m pregnant? This will surely make her extremely happy.“
Joshua glanced at her, frowning. “Do you think this news will make Granny Lynch happy? She already knows you’re part of the Landry Family.“
Aura’s smile froze on her face.
With that, Joshua stood up and continued, “Let’s wait for the antidote to arrive and let Granny Lynch fully recover from the poison. That’ll make her accept you. Let’s put a hold to this, and we’ll tell her this news sometime down the road.“
Half an hour later, Joshua and Aura arrived at the hospital.
Dr. Janet had found out that Joshua would be bringing small amounts of the antidote over for Granny Lynch, so she waited outside Granny Lynch’s ward for it.
Joshua came out of the lift with his arm wrapped around Aura. As soon as he caught sight of Dr. Janet, a cold expression flashed through his eyes.
Dr. Janet was not stupid. She did not dare show herself because she had increased the dosage to help Luna fake her illness. The only reason she was waiting outside Granny Lynch’s room was that she knew Joshua would never scold her in front of Aura.
Despite this, however, she could not help but
tremble at the sight of Joshua. She tilted her face so as not to look at him and instead smiled at Aura. “I heard you have the antidote?“
“Just a little bit, the real one will be here soon, “ Aura replied, handing Dr. Janet a small vial.
Dr. Janet let out an exhale and took the vial from her. She did not greet Joshua and instead went into the room immediately.
The doctors inside the room quickly got to work while Joshua and Aura waited outside.
“Joshua, I’m exhausted.“ Aura looked around the empty hallway and, noticing that there were no chairs to rest, pretended to be weak and leaned against Joshua for support. “I don’t know why I’ve been so tired recently. Do you think it is one of the early symptoms of pregnancy?“
She leaned against Joshua and continued with a coy expression, “Even though it isn’t even a week, I can already feel our child growing inside me— “
Thump!
As soon as she finished her sentence, something heavy landed on the floor with a loud thud.
Joshua immediately turned and glanced in the direction where the noise had come from.
Michael was standing right outside the lift, having dropped his fruit basket on the floor.
He stared at Aura with wide eyes and suttered, ”You. You’re pregnant?”
