Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1366
“Do you think your precious Joshua Lynch will be any different?“
With that, he hung up the phone.
Luna bit her lower lip as she gripped the phone tightly in her hand.
Malcolm noticed that she had finished calling and wheeled himself over with a frown. “How was it?“ he asked in a low voice. “Did you manage to reach him?“
Luna shook her head.
Quinn Mansion was a well-guarded place, and she knew she could not possibly escape.
At the same time, she could not get in touch with Joshua in Banyan City either.
All of a sudden, she recalled Gwen and Luke. They were in Sea City, so she could definitely reach them there, but…
Her phone had been disposed of, and she could not remember their numbers.
“Don’t worry.“ Malcolm reached out to grab hold of Luna’s hand gently, seeing how upset she was. “We can find the contact number of Luke’s company in Sea City and call that instead.“
Luna thought this was a good idea, so she quickly found the number of Luke’s hotel in Sea City.
However, the receptionist could not get ahold of Luke at all.
Luna had no choice but to ask the receptionist to take down her message to Luke. “Ask Luke to tell Joshua that Malcolm is severely injured, and I’ve
been brought back to Merchant City by the Quinns to take care of him. My phone is broken, and the signal here isn’t good either, so please ask him not to contact me.
“Also, tell him not to ask impulsively or try to save me. I’ll find a way to get back home as soon as Malcolm’s condition has stabilized.“
The receptionist took down every word of Luna’s message and promised to pass it on to Luke.
However, as soon as the call was disconnected, the receptionist tucked the memo with Luna’s message in a corner. “Mr. Jones is going through a breakup
and drowning his sorrows in alcohol, so how can he have the time to pass on a message like this?“
The memo slid off the edge and slipped underneath the receptionist’s desk.
As soon as she hung up, Luna felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
Luke was a reliable friend, so she knew he would pass on the message to Joshua.
After settling this matter, the servant brought them dinner. Luna volunteered to feed Malcolm his dinner.
Malcolm, sitting in his wheelchair, did not know whether to laugh or cry at this. “I ‘m just paralyzed from the waist down, but it doesn’t make me incapable of moving.“
Luna shook her head. “When I got hurt, you took care of me the same way, so I want to repay your kindness to me.“
Malcolm’s entire body stiffened when he heard this. After a split second, he let out a self-deprecating chuckle. “That’s right. As soon as you repay your debt of gratitude to me, you can return to Joshua’s side without guilt anymore.“
Luna fell into silence. She did not know what to reply to this.
“I’m sorry, Malcolm.“
Malcolm let out a bitter chuckle but did not say anything in response. He sat in silence and let Luna feed him.
Banyan City.
Joshua was about to board the plane to Merchant City when he received a call from Luke.
“Joshua.“ Luke’s voice was a little slurry through the phone, the way he usually sounded while drunk. “ Just now, one of the receptionists at my hotel received a call from Merchant City. It’s from Luna, and she asked me to pass on a message to you.“
Joshua frowned. “What did she say?“
Luke glanced at the memo on the table before him, which the receptionist had rewritten from memory after losing the original one. “She said she’s hurt and her phone is broken, so you shouldn’t try to contact her.
“She wants you to go to Merchant City to save her.
She wants to come home.”
