Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 558
However, Joshua did not know what Luna meant and instead interpreted it as something else.
He narrowed his eyes. “You’re going to commit suicide and frame me for murder…because I stopped you from marrying Theo?“
Luna froze for a moment, then chuckled. “You have a very good imagination, Mr. Lynch. This does sound like a good idea.“ She let out a sigh and gazed at a distance. “If my death would mean that you receive the punishment you deserve, then it sounds like a fair trade.“
However, Luna knew that would not happen.
She nearly died many years ago, but not only was Joshua unaffected by that, he even got engaged to Aura.
Not only did he manage to land another woman, but he also received a reputation as a faithful and devoted husband.
Therefore, Luna did not want to die. Not before Joshua did, at least!
“You’re willing to risk your life just to get back at me,“ commented Joshua coldly as he squinted. “Do
you like Theo that much?“ Luna sneered but did not reply.
Joshua sighed as he realized Luna would not budge from the railing as he continued, “Luna, I know that you resent and hate me because of what happened today, but if you want to seek revenge, you need to be alive to do that. Come down.“
Luna gazed at Joshua’s face and suddenly felt amused by this. “Why do you care if I’m alive or dead, Mr. Lynch?“
She was just a temporary toy to him that he could humiliate whenever he wanted. He had disgraced her right in front of Theo and his parents.
Did he care about her at all? Did he even care whether she was alive or dead?
Luna stared at him, her gaze etched with contempt and hatred, and Joshua automatically felt alarmed by the way she looked at him.
He could not make out what she was thinking. He was afraid she would jump off the railing at any minute.
Joshua’s heart skipped a beat.
He was usually a calm and collected person. The last time he ever felt this anxious was six years ago, when Luna Gibson had fallen into the ocean and went missing!
At that time…
Luna Gibson had gotten involved in a car accident and fallen into the sea, but there were no signs of her even though only an hour had passed.
The spot where Luna sat was the same place where Luna Gibson had suffered her accident!
If she fell into the water, it would take time for the rescue team to get here. If that happened, there was no guarantee they would be able to find her. Joshua could not let that happen again.
He extended his hands and grabbed onto Luna’s arms. “Get off the railing! “
However, Luna seemed determined to hear Joshua’s answer to her question. She flung his hands away and said, “Mr. Lynch, you haven’t answered me yet. Why do you care if I’m alive or dead?“
“You’d better get off right this instant! “ Joshua grabbed her arm forcefully. “Luna! Stop messing around! “
Luna felt like laughing when she heard this. “What makes you think I’m messing around?“
She came to Bay Bridge because she was in a bad mood, so she wanted to revisit an old place. Did Joshua think she came to end her life?
Was that what he thought of her? That she was just a weak person who believed death was the only answer?
Joshua grew even more enraged by Luna’s stubbornness. “Get down right now and come home with me! “ He tugged on her forcefully and tried to pull her back from the railing.
The two of them continued to struggle on the railing, where just a gentle tip over the side could result in a tragedy.
“Aargh — “ Finally, Joshua managed to pull Luna off the railing.
He felt as though the weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He held her in his arms and let out a sigh.
“Why are you considering death over such a small matter? When did you become so fragile?”
Luna had trouble breathing, partly because Joshua was holding onto her so tightly. She could hear his heartbeat.
For a moment, she felt as though…he truly cared about her…a great deal.
After a long time, she closed her eyes and muttered, “Joshua, if you don’t send me to a hospital right away, I might really die.”
Joshua paused and looked down at her.
Luna’s face was pale, and the sleeve of her white chiffon top was drenched in blood.
The stitches on her right shoulder had burst due to Joshua’s violent tugging.
