Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1461
The suspension rope that had been dangling for over ten hours started to loosen.
Joshua’s entire body was pressed against the side of the cliff as he desperately tried to hold on.
However, because of his violent movements, the wound he had acquired during his encounter with Malcolm’s men started to throb.
Finally, his wound split apart, and Joshua, having depleted all his energy, plummeted down the side of the cliff.
“Mr. Lynch! “
When Jude arrived at the hospital, Joshua had already been in the operation room for almost ten hours.
Nigel, Neil, and Nellie sat on a bench outside the operation theater, staring at the door in silent unison.
The three of them had red faces as though they had been crying. Even Nigel, who had always been the most level-headed out of the three, had tear stains on his face.
Despite this, as soon as he saw Jude, Nigel quietly got out of his seat and lifted his head to stare at Jude. “Uncle Jude.“
Jude suppressed the concern in his heart, squatted, and gently pressed Nigel’s shoulder. “How’s Joshua?“
“Daddy…“ Nigel let out a sigh and said, “He fell off the side of a cliff and almost died.
“Thankfully, the place where he fell off was less than ten meters from the bottom, and there was a large pool of water beneath, so he managed to survive, but
Nigel glanced at the door to the operation door and continued, “But when he was in Merchant City, he suffered too many injuries, including a gunshot. On top of that, the water he fell into wasn’t clean, so bacteria entered his wound, and he has a severe infection.
“The doctor said that he has to rest and can’t afford to continue running around anymore.“
Jude’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.
What had Joshua been through while he was in Merchant City?
When Joshua was about to depart to Merchant City, Jude had wanted to go with him, but Joshua told him that he was worried the Landry or Quinn families would attack Lynch Group while he was preoccupied in Merchant City.
Therefore, he asked Jude to stay in Banyan City to look after the three children while taking care of Lynch Group’s affairs.
Joshua was right. While he had been gone, both the Landry and Quinn families had been trying to gather their men in Banyan City to defeat Lynch Group.
However, they had given up in the end, partly because Lynch Group was too powerful to defeat and partly because Jude had been countering their attacks all this while.
Jude had initially thought that since the Landry and Quinn families were attempting to target Lynch Group in Banyan City, this meant that they had lost to Joshua in Merchant City.
Because of this, Jude did not worry about Joshua’s encounters in Merchant City at all, but to his surprise.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open.
An unconscious Joshua was wheeled out of the operation room and into the ICU.
Jude, along with the three children, inquired the doctor about Joshua’s condition. After receiving the doctor’s confirmation that he was out of danger, all four of them let out a sigh of relief.
After a moment, Jude suddenly recalled something. “ Luna doesn’t know about any of this, does she?“
“She doesn’t.“ Neil shook his head. “Daddy wouldn’t want us to let Mommy know that he has been hurt. On top of that, she has other things to deal with, and he doesn’t want to become a burden to her.“
Jude’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.
This child was only six years old, but the things that he had just said…shocked even a grown man like him.
Jude let out a sheepish smile and replied, “You’re… very considerate.“
As soon as he finished his sentence, the door to the ICU was pushed open. The doctor came out somewhat hurriedly and said, ”Mr. Smith, Mr. Lynch wants to see you.”
Jude froze for a moment , then quickly stormed into the room.
