Luna was outraged by Luke's answer.
Even if Luke truly did not like children, and Gwen had simply made this casual comment without
meaning anything, could he not have respected Gwen's feelings on this? He claimed to love and
cherish Gwen above anything else, yet he was unwilling to show her basic respect in front of outsiders.
Not only that, but Gwen was pregnant with his child, for God's sake! Was this the appropriate comment
to make in such a setting?
"Alright, alright, let's eat.."
Joshua could feel Luna's anger, so he gently patted Luna's shoulder, indicating her not to say anything
impulsively.
Luna bit her lip, and despite her fury, she knew she could not say another word lest everyone's mood
be ruined.
Nonetheless, as she ate, she deliberately rattled and clanged her silverware noisily against her plate in
an attempt to express her rage.
Gwen bit her lip and glanced first at Luna, then at Luke.
This was all her fault; she should not have made that off-handed remark so nonchalantly.She let out a
sigh and began eating.
The meal ended on a slightly awkward note.
As soon as they were done eating, Luke did not stay a minute longer and instead quickly left with
Gwen.
Standing at the gates, Luna could not help staring daggers at Luke and Gwen's car as it pulled away
from the house.
"What a nuisance! Luna had just begun to change her mind about Luke, considering that Gwen was so
in love with him, yet this man had just shown her evidence demonstrating his extreme selfishness and
lack of respect toward Gwen.
She could not help but pity Gwen for falling in love with such a self -centered man!
"Alright, let's not get ourselves too worked up.."
Joshua sighed as he pulled Luna into his arms.
"I'm sure Luke had a reason for doing that.."
"And what would that be?"
Luna shot him a cold look out of the corner of her eye.
"What reason could he have had to disrespect Gwen so publicly? I don't care what kind of sad story he
has.As long as he deliberately upset Gwen...he'll always be a selfish, egocentric man in my eyes!"
Joshua could not help chuckling at this.
"Alright, I'm not going to fight you on this.In a couple of months, you'll be able to understand what Luke
was going through.."
With that, he gently kissed her earlobe and said,"Let's go inside now.."
Luna rolled her eyes and returned to the house.
As soon as she entered the door, the nanny sprinted toward her, exclaiming,"Sir, Ma'am, something
bad has happened! Ms.Riley is vomiting blood! Can you please call a doctor?"
Luna froze for a moment, then instinctively turned to glance at Joshua.
Joshua's eyebrows furrowed.
"We'll bring her to the hospital right now.."
With that, he strode upstairs, picked up the baby in his arms, and rushed to the hospital with Luna.
When they arrived at the hospital, Riley had thrown up even more blood.She was barely three months
old, and it was clear that something bad was happening, but Luna was unwilling to give up.
Outside the operation room, Luna signed the consent form for surgery with shaking hands.
She glanced up at the doctor, biting her lip nervously, and said,"Please, doctor, do all you can to save
her.."
The doctor glanced at her.
"Ms.Luna, you should know by now that Ms.Riley isn't even you and Mr.Lynch's biological daughter.."
