Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1566
Throughout the journey from the cherry blossom tree back to her home, Luna did not say anything at all.
Soon the car arrived at the little house she had left.
First, Luna got out of the car and into Rosalyn’s room, where she talked to her for a while, holding her hand. Then, she went into the dining room to have her breakfast.
Finally, after multiple coaxes by the servants, Luna returned to her room to get some sleep.
Jim, worried that something would happen to her, was with her the entire time.
After Luna laid down in her bed, Jim finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
“Jim.” Just as he was about to open the door, Luna’s weak, hoarse voice rang out from behind him, “Do you think…they’ll forgive me?”
Jim’s hand, which was on the doorknob, stiffened. He turned around and asked, “Who are they?”
“Mother, Joshua, and my dead child.” Luna leaned against the headboard and stared at the wall in front of her, but her gaze seemed to penetrate through the wall and fixated on something even further away. “If I hadn’t insisted on returning to the Landry family to take care of Mother, none of this would’ve happened.
“Joshua wouldn’t have attacked Mother, and I wouldn’t have been forced to swear on my child’s son for her sake. Me and Joshua’s daughter wouldn’t have died.”
When Jim saw the look on her pale face as she said this, he could not help feeling saddened for her.
However, he knew that no matter how much he pitied her, he could not tell her the whereabouts of her child.
He was worried that Luna would confront Heather and Malcolm for this, but on top of that, he was even more afraid that if Luna brought the child home, she would become her weakness and be used against her.
Jim let out an exhale and turned to stare at Luna intently. “About Mother’s injury, I still insist that Joshua wasn’t the one who did it.”
Luna cocked her head and stared at him with a bitter smile. “I don’t believe it was him either, but if it wasn’t…who could it have been?”
As soon as she brought this up, Luna could not stop her tears from falling. “We don’t have any evidence. None at all…
“If we had evidence, I wouldn’t even suspect him, but now…”
Seeing Luna spiraling into self-doubt and uncertainty, Jim let out an exhale and interrupted her, “As for who the real culprit is, I guess we’ll only know when Mother wakes up, but one thing is for sure: it wasn’t Joshua.
“Also, Luna, the curse of a vow doesn’t always come true.
“On top of that, you weren’t the one who voluntarily made that oath, and you had taken care of this child meticulously for nine months.
“Everyone is upset that something like this happened to the child, but it isn’t your fault at all. No one has the right not to forgive you for this.”
Luna froze when she heard this. She asked dazedly, “I s that… Is that so?”
“Yes.” Jim let out a sigh and walked over to tuck her in bed. “Get some rest and get well soon. When you get better, we’ll investigate the truth of Mother’s assault, okay?”
Luna closed her eyes and nodded.
After putting Luna to bed, Jim closed the door behind him and sighed.
He had been busy the entire night.
Worried that Luna would sneak out of the house again, Jim plopped down on the living room sofa and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
After God knew how long, his phone rang.
Jim, who had been awoken by his phone, furrowed his brows as he picked up the call. “Who is this?”
” ‘Who is this’?” A furious woman’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Jim Landry, how dare you ask me who this is? Tell me the truth about this child!
“Christopher said this child belongs to you. When did you even have a daughter? How dare you even send her over to help you take care of her? How shameless are you?”
