Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1559
“How can this be…”
Sitting on the bed, Luna ripped out all the tubes from her body and leaped off the bed barefoot. “How can my child possibly die? How can this be?
“Before I passed out, I clearly heard her cry! I heard her cry!” she screamed as she clutched the midwife’s collar. “You’re lying to me! You must be lying to me! Where’s my baby?”
A deranged look shot through Luna’s eyes. “Did you sell my child for money? Did you hide her somewhere? Tell me!”
Luna was gripping the midwife’s collar so tight that the midwife’s face was starting to turn purple from the lack of oxygen. “Your child…”
She lifted her hand weakly and pointed at a nearby trash can. “She’s…there.”
As soon as she glanced in the direction the midwife had pointed, Luna felt as though her entire body had been struck by lightning.
She let go of the midwife and shuffled to the trash can as though she had been put under a spell.
How could this be?
Her child…
How could her child, which she had spent ten months nurturing, be in the trash can?
Did she die?
No…that could not be!
Luna had heard the child cry so loud and clear! How could she have died?
Luna curled her lips into a smile so forced that it looked more like a grimace. The midwife must have been joking with her.
She must have been.
These eight months, she had been more than cautious about every piece of food she placed in her mouth and been so gentle with the baby. She had taken care of this precious life meticulously and awaited her birth.
Luna had managed to pull through such a long time, and this baby had been impatient to come out as well. She had kicked her every day, as though she was telling her that she wanted to come out soon.
How could this be…
Luna shuffled toward the trash can a step at a time. The closer she got, the harder it was to control her tears, and the slower her footsteps got.
Finally, she caught sight of the tiny bundle of cloth inside the trash can.
Tears streamed down her face.
Luna feebly took out the small corpse from the smelly trash can and held it close to her body. “My child…my child… Please wake up… Mommy’s here…”
The midwife, who had delivered babies for many years, could not bear to watch this sight.
The indecisiveness in her heart and the guilt of her conscience made her unable to stay in this room even a second longer. She immediately stormed out of the room.
However, to her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she ran into an exhausted-looking man outside the door.
The man was tall and lean and wore a black suit. He emanated an aura so domineering that it bordered on suffocating.
Joshua glanced at the midwife and asked in a hoarse voice, frowning, “Where’s Luna?”
The midwife froze, then turned around and pointed in Luna’s direction. Then, she carefully circled past Joshua and sprinted off into the distance.
Rain began to pour.
As lightning struck, Joshua lifted his head to stare at the woman who was sitting next to the trash can, holding a small corpse covered in garbage and scraps.
She looked as pale as a ghost, and her hair was sticking to her face because of the sweat. Her stomach was no longer as full as it used to be, and the dead baby in her arms…
A hint of shock and sorrow flashed through Joshua’s eyes.
He and Luna’s fourth child together… Was it…dead?
Despite the sorrow he felt in his heart, Joshua suppressed his emotions and walked over to her side.
“Luna.”
Luna, still holding the dead baby, lifted her head to stare at him dazedly as though she did not know him anymore. She stared at him for a long time before finally forcing out a smile.
