Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1523
Jim narrowed his eyes slightly.
Joshua’s face was etched with an earnest look, without any hint of pretense at all.
Jim let out a sigh and replied, “She managed to survive, but…“
He lifted his head to observe Joshua’s expression and continued, “She’s now in a vegetative state, and she can’t speak or move anymore. The doctor says it’s unlikely she’ll ever awaken from her vegetative state.“
Joshua’s entire body stiffened. After a split second, he closed his eyes and said, “Thank God she’s alive. As long as she’s alive, there’s still hope.“
Jim squinted slightly upon hearing this.
He had said the exact same thing to Luna not long ago.
Jim let out another sigh as he stared at Joshua. He had never seen a murderer who longed so much for their victim to survive.
Either Joshua was not the murderer at all, or he was simply too good at pretending.
Jim was more inclined toward the former.
He lifted his head to stare at Joshua and asked, “You said that Heather was the one who killed Mother?“
“Yes.“ Joshua opened his eyes and continued in a low voice, “The second time I returned to the room, the knife was already in Mrs. Landry’s chest. After I summoned a doctor, she used the last ounce of strength she had to tell me that the person who killed her was none other than the fake daughter she had raised for more than twenty years.“
Jim narrowed his eyes. “That’s why you came to lodge a police report?“
Joshua smiled and nodded. “Of course.“
Jim let out an exhale and shot Joshua a cold glance. “
Since Luke Jones is your friend, he cou1d’ve protected you in Merchant City, and you cou1d’ve asked him to bring you out of here…
“Why did you come to the police station voluntarily and be locked up as a suspect? Didn’t you know— “
“I knew.“ Joshua interjected him and replied, “I knew that if I came to the police station, both the Landry and Quinn families would use this against me and attempt to frame me for murder, but I still chose to come anyway.“
Joshua wrapped his hands together and added, a small smile playing on his lips, “I voluntarily bore the risk of becoming a suspect.
“Since Luna is still here, and I have already expanded Lynch Group into Merchant City’s market because of her…I have no intention of leaving anymore.“
He stared at Jim and continued, “Not only did I choose to become the prime suspect of this murder, but I will walk out of this police station unscathed and proven innocent.
“Merchant City used to be the territory of both the Landry and Quinn families, but now, that is no longer the case.
“I will take my revenge on the person who attempted to frame me for killing Luna’s birth mother and avenge Mrs. Landry as well.”
With that, he stood up and said, “Help me take care of Luna and the child in her belly.
“Before the child arrives, I will stop attacking the Landry family, so please remind Charles to enjoy this period of peace.”
With that, Joshua turned and strode out of the visitation room.
