Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 752
“That’s enough! “ Before Luna could say anything, Shannon immediately frowned and shoved Samson’s shoulder forcefully. “How can you say that? You wanted to get rid of her, and now you want her dead. If it weren’t for you, Fiona wouldn’t have gotten angry! Now Arianna is injured, and everyone in Lynch Group thinks she tried to scare Fiona on purpose! Don’t talk nonsense like this! “
Samson froze for a moment, then snapped, “Am I not even allowed to talk now? Luna was mistreated by Joshua and didn’t retaliate, but that doesn’t mean I’m a coward, too! I just want to get back at Fiona for hurting Arianna. What’s wrong with that?“
Shannon glared at him. “Do you think Director Luna needs your help? Don’t you know what happened to her family? If she offends Fiona and gets fired from Lynch Group, who’s going to pay her son’s medical bills? Will you?“
Luna felt exasperated by Shannon and Samson’s arguing. “That’s enough,“ she said, frowning as she separated the two from each other. “This is a hospital. You shouldn’t argue here.“
She then smiled a self-deprecating smile. “Both of you are right; everything that happened to Arianna was my fault. If I hadn’t come back to work to earn money for my son’s medical bills, none of this would’ve happened.“
With that, she turned to glance at Samson. “What you said was right, too. I am a coward, but I don’t need your help. If you feel embarrassed to be working under someone as cowardly as me, then I’ll buy your flight tickets home.“
Without a second glance, Luna pushed the door open and strode into Arianna’s ward.
Samson stood motionless, watching her leave. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
For some reason, Samson thought the way Luna looked when she walked away was lonely and desolate.
Shannon shot him another glare and followed after her.
“Hiss—! “
Inside the ward, the doctor was still applying medication to Arianna’s wounds. Hearing the door open, Arianna turned around. She forced out a somewhat pained smile when she noticed it was Luna and asked, “Director Luna, what are you doing here? This is just a small injury. You didn’t have to come to visit me.“
Luna glanced at Arianna’s back, which was so severely scalded that it had already blistered. “I ‘m going to give you two weeks paid leave, “ she spoke in an aggrieved tone. “Stay home and rest so you can recover soon.“
As soon as she heard this, Arianna furrowed her brows. “No. Aren’t you about to start a new project soon? This is when I’m needed the most, so how can I possibly take such a long break? I know I was scalded, but the wound is on my back, so it won’t interfere with my work at all…“
Luna could not help feeling even more guilty when she heard Arianna’s words. She gently held onto Arianna’s hands and sighed. “It’s just two weeks. It won’t affect much. Besides, my son will be getting his surgery soon, so I won’t be able to concentrate on work either. We’ll officially start the project in two weeks. You should take this time off to rest.“
Arianna bit down on her lip. “Two weeks is a little long. Are you sure it’s okay?“
“Of course.“ Luna sighed and was about to say something, but the doctor suddenly frowned and glanced at Luna and Shannon. “This girl hasn’t eaten her breakfast yet, and it’s already noon now. If you really want to take care of her, you should go buy her lunch.“
Then, the doctor sighed and added, “Those two young men outside both have crushes on her, but they don’t know how to take care of her at all.“
Luna and Shannon exchanged a glance, then burst out in laughter.
The doctor was right. Even though both Samson and Zayne were interested in Arianna, they did not know how to treat a girl right at all. It was already noon, but none of them had the common sense to buy her lunch.
Luna and Shannon both shot Arianna teasing glances and asked, “Do you want to let them know you’re hungry so they’ll buy you lunch?“ Arianna immediately shook her head.
Luna and Shannon had not eaten either, so they decided they would go downstairs for lunch with the two men and bring some food for Arianna on their way back.
Samson did not seem in high spirits, probably because Luna had scolded him a while ago for arguing with Shannon. He was not paying attention to where he was going at all, so as soon as they stepped foot in the hospital’s cafeteria, he accidentally bumped into a middle-aged woman.
“Watch where you’re going, young man! “ Having spilled her food all over herself, the woman immediately frowned and grabbed hold of Samson’s collar in anger. “You’d better pay for this! This dress I’m wearing is a gift from Ms. Blake! It costs fifty thousand dollars! You’d better pay for this! “
When she heard the name—Ms. Blake—coming out of the woman’s mouth, Luna furrowed her brows and glanced in their direction.
She had seen this woman before.
This was the woman who was in the mall with Fiona. Could she be Fiona’s maid?
What an unpleasant surprise.
