Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1097
There was nothing but silence coming from the other end of the line.
A split second later, the call ended with a slam.
Joshua’s expression darkened when he heard the dial tone. He could not believe that Fiona and Aura
were in contact with each other…
Although, this explained why Fiona had so many people helping her in Banyan City, despite this being
her first time here.
Therefore, Dr. Robert’s accident was not an accident after all. Someone had planned this.
If it was not for Aura’s help, Fiona could not have made it to Yellowstone Village so quickly.
As soon as he thought of this, Joshua ordered in a low voice, “Lucas, investigate the men who are
guarding Granny Lynch immediately! “
If his guesses were correct…one of Granny Lynch’s bodyguards had been in on this with Fiona all along.
Lucas nodded and was about to leave with Zach and Yuri when he caught sight of Luna, who was still in
Joshua’s arms. “What about her?“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoshua’s energy was depleted entirely at this point, so he could not possibly carry Luna back down the
mountain like before. However, if either he or the bodyguards were to carry her, it did not seem
appropriate at all.
“Don’t worry.“ Joshua closed his eyes and leaned against the giant rock, still holding Luna in his arms.
“My backup is coming soon.“
If it were not for the bad weather, he and Luna would not end up in this situation in the first place.
Lucas froze upon hearing this. What did Joshua mean by backup?
Who was going to be backing him up in such a desolate countryside and on top of a mountain, no less?
How would they arrive?
Just as he was puzzled about this, all of a sudden, the sound of rotor blades punctured through the air.
Lucas’ entire body stiffened, and he immediately lifted his head—
“Oh my God, it’s a helicopter! “
“It is! “
Having come from a village just as desolate and secluded as this one, Zach and Yuri had never seen a
helicopter before, so they could not help but gasp when they saw the helicopter flying toward them.
Lucas let out a small sigh when he saw the helicopter headed in their direction. It had been years since
he last saw this helicopter.
This was the team of trained bodyguards that Joshua had been developing in private. Joshua had never
allowed them to jump into action, except in life-or- death situations or emergencies.
The last time Lucas ever saw this helicopter, as well as the team of bodyguards flying it, was six years
ago when Luna went missing…
Lucas let out a sigh, then turned to glance at Zach and Yuri, who were staring in awe at the helicopter
above them. “Come on, let’s go. The helicopter is here to pick up Sir and Ma’am. We’ll have to hike down
the mountain on foot.“
The delight on Zach and Yuri’s faces dissipated almost immediately. “Oh, okay.“
The two of them followed Lucas slowly down the muddy mountain trail.
None of them seemed to notice that Lucas had started referring to Luna as ‘Ma’am’ instead of what he
used to call her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe helicopter landed on the helipad at the mountaintop. A few trained bodyguards leaped out of the
helicopter and quickly made their way to Joshua’s side. Then, they picked up both him and Luna and
strode back onto the helicopter. “Where to, Sir?“
Sitting in the helicopter, Joshua let out a sigh and glanced at Luna, who was still passed out in his lap
due to extreme exhaustion. “Let’s go back to Banyan City. Also…tell the rest of the men to escort the
remaining people in the villa back to Banyan City as well.“
“Yes, Sir! “
Luna slept for a long time, and during this time, she was stuck in a dream.
In her dream, someone was caressing her head tenderly, telling her how foolish she was.
The person held her sometimes, and at other times, laid down in her lap, looking up at her. Sometimes,
they would even stroke her face gently.
Although Luna did not know who this person was, she did not feel repulsed by their actions.
After that, the dream changed.
First, she dreamt that Fiona was standing at the edge of the cliff, threatening to cut off the ropes holding
Nigel up. After that, Aura was standing in her place instead.
Finally…the person holding the knife was Neil instead.
In her dream, Neil stared at her with an evil grin she had never seen before.
