A deafening thud echoed through the entire house.
Joshua, who was pinning Luna down against the sofa, slumped limply on top of her right after.
Luna could not help but furrowed her brows upon feeling his weight on top of her. However, since her hands were
still tied, she had no way of releasing herself and instead looked in the direction where the noise had come from.
She saw Nellie holding a metal box in her hands, panting heavily at the same time.
Seeing that Luna was looking at her, Nellie’s face grew an even darker shade of red. She let out an exhale, then
shouted for help at the top of her lungs.
Lily immediately arrived at the scene, along with the rest of the servants. The doctor who Joshua had assigned to
look after Nigel stormed downstairs as well to see what was going on.
Everyone worked together to help move Joshua away from his position on top of Luna and laid him down on the
couch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNigel carefully untied the jacket around Luna’s hands wordlessly. Meanwhile, Nellie put down the metal box and
walked over to Luna, then reached out to hold Luna’s hand in silence.
The doctor frowned at this sight. “There seems to be something wrong with Mr. Lynch.“
She walked over and checked Joshua’s face carefully before she turned around to glance at Luna. “Mr. Lynch seems
to have eaten some medicine that he shouldn’t have.“
Luna furrowed her brows. She patted Nellie and Nigel’s heads while trying to cover the hickey on her collarbone
with her shirt. “What kind of medicine?“
“I need to send it to the lab.“ The doctor poked Joshua’s finger and drew some blood from his wound. “Please give
me a moment.“
Half an hour later, the doctor looked up at Luna. “ The results have come out. According to the lab, the medicine
that Mr. Lynch took was…“
She paused and glanced at the two children somewhat awkwardly.
Luna let out a sigh. “It’s okay. Just tell me.“ She already had an inkling of what it was.
She knew how much Joshua hated and detested her.
This man had even upped and left to find Fiona, even though Luna had stayed by his bedside and taken care of him
for three days, so how could Joshua even be willing to touch her?
How could he lust over Luna if it were not for the help of libido-enhancing medications?
A long time ago, when they had just gotten married, Luna had always been the one pestering him about having
children, while he never—not even once — initiated anything of the sort.
“It’s…medication used for low sexual drive.“ The doctor sighed and continued in a low voice, “It’s usually couples
who desire children that take this medication so that they can increase their fertility rates.“
Luna closed her eyes. She let out a bitter smile, then picked up Nellie in one hand while the other held onto Nigel’s.
“Lily, take care of him for the time being. When he wakes up, let him leave on his own accord,“ she ordered and
disappeared up the stairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna did not even feel like sparing this man another glance. She did not know what happened that made Joshua
come to her instead of Fiona after eating the medication, but what she knew was that…
This man’s claims of not wanting children with Fiona were all fake. He was even willing to take fertility medication
just for Fiona!
Many years ago, when Luna and Joshua had just gotten married, she had followed her doctor’s recommendation
and bought the same type of medication.
The doctor had suggested the two of them take it together to increase their fertility rates.
However, Joshua had tossed the medication into the trash can, claiming he did not need it, but currently, not only
was he willing to do the same thing for Fiona, but he even tried to lie to Luna about this!
Luna guessed that Joshua had probably planned to go home after explaining everything to her and have fun with
his precious Fiona. However, he had estimated wrongly, causing the medication to take effect before he could
reach home. Why else would h e feel lust toward Luna, his ex-wife whom he had gotten tired of a long time ago?
Luna could not help but feel the irony of this situation.
All of a sudden, Nellie’s voice rang out, pulling Luna’s thoughts back to reality, “Mommy.” She furrowed her brows,
then lowered her head to glance at the girl in her arms, trying to make herself sound as gentle as she could,
“What’s wrong?”
