Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 934
“Is investigating Fiona to find out whether she feigned her illness or not.“
Joshua glanced at Christian suspiciously, then turned and glanced in the direction of the Blue Bay Direction.
The lights in the children’s room were now switched off. At that moment, the entire villa was dark, with the only light coming from Luna’s brightly-lit bedroom.
From the figure in the window, she seemed to be sitting in front of her desk with her head bowed, typing into her laptop.
He sighed lowly, in a barely audible tone.
This silly woman. He had treated her like this but still, she wanted to do something for him before leaving the city. Even though he felt warmed deep down, his expression remained cold.
“What did you say when Luna told you she wanted to investigate Fiona?“
“I said…if she should go on if she wanted to investigate.“
He turned and leaned back lazily on the leather seat of the car, a cold smile hanging from his lips. “ Nonsense. You and Fiona were classmates when you were both studying abroad, she had already been terminally ill back then. You would know best whether she was feigning her illness, wouldn’t you?“
Christian bit his lip. “Ye…yes.“
Back then when Fiona was studying abroad, it was true that she had been admitted into the hospital many times for emotional instability. But back then, the doctor said that her emotional instability and sickness were more of a psychological effect.
In other words, once Fiona felt that she should be sick now, then her body would react accordingly and her symptoms would manifest.
In short, she was very experienced at feigning her illness. Seeing as she put so much effort into faking it, the doctor did not expose her ruse on the spot.
Later, he broke up with Fiona and by the time he saw her again, this disease of hers had turned into a terminal illness. Plus, her illness was diagnosed by a team of top international medical experts, and it was finally determined to be a terminal illness with a remaining life span of less than a year.
He did not know how Fiona managed to convince the team of top international medical experts to lie on her behalf, but he knew she held his secret in her hands so he had no choice but to play along with her ruse.
Joshua who was seated in the backseat read the panic in the other man’s eyes. He narrowed his own eyes and asked, “Why are you so nervous?“
Christian bit his lip and quietly wiped at the sweat on his forehead.
“Because…because to make Luna stay in Banyan City for a while longer and you give the two of you more time to spend together… So I lied to Luna, I said I didn’t know whether Fiona was feigning her illness. I wanted her to continue investigating.“
He morphed his features into a look of timid fear. “ Uncle Joshua, you wouldn’t stop injecting capital into my money because I lied to Luna, would you?“
Joshua side-eyed him coldly. “What do you think?“
Even though Christian was wrong in lying…but if he immediately refuted Luna’s claim that Fiona was pretending to be ill, then would Luna choose to leave the city immediately?
Joshua closed his eyes and opened his mouth and said coldly, “Get out, I won’t change my mind about investing in your company.“
Christian was startled, nodded quickly, and jumped out of the car in a hurry. “Thank you, Uncle Joshua! “ With that, he ran back to his own car and drove away in a puff of smoke.
After Christian left, Lucas, who was seated in the driver’s seat, frowned and asked, “Sir, are we heading back?“
Joshua raised his hand and massaged between his eyebrows. “Yeah.“
As Lucas started the engine, he lowered his voice and asked, “Is Luna really going to investigate Ms. Blake?“
“I don’t know.“ Joshua closed his eyes. “But remind the hospital to seal Fiona’s medical records, mouths that should remain shut must remain shut.“
Lucas was startled. “That way, Luna won’t be able to investigate whether Ms. Blake is really…”
Before he could finish, Joshua interrupted him coldly. “So? You heard him, once she finds her answer she’ll leave. So you think she should find out immediately and leave the city immediately?”
Lucas was startled and shook his head quickly. “No, no, I didn’t mean that!” Then he shut up immediately, not daring to say a further word.
Joshua closed his eyes and leaned back into the seat, sighing in a low voice that was barely audible.
He knew very well that farewell was inevitable. But…he would try his best to make her stay as long as possible.
