Luna took the tissue from Joshua and wiped the tears from her face. “I don’t care what they think, “ she
sobbed softly.
It was not the first time Natasha and Joseph had misunderstood her.
“I just… “ Luna sniffed and tilted her head up to stop the tears from falling. “I just miss my mother.“
Joshua’s entire body stiffened. He frowned and turned around to look at her. “You miss your mother?“
“Yes.“ Luna nodded. “Whenever I got sick, my mother would always make me chicken soup. She said
chicken soup is good for our body, so I’d get well quicker if I drank a lot of it. When I was a kid, I didn’t
like drinking chicken soup, and she’d always spend a long time convincing me to drink it. I ended up
liking it as I grew up, but I couldn’t drink it anymore.“ With that, she heaved a deep sigh and added,
“Drinking the soup that Mrs. Lynch cooked for me just now…reminded me of my past. I couldn’t help
crying a little. I’m sorry you had to see that, Mr. Lynch.“
Joshua frowned. He fixated his penetrating gaze on Luna’s face as if trying to figure out if she was
honest.

We don’t have to talk about this anymore. Mr. Lynch, you mentioned that you had some work stuff you
wanted to go over with me, didn’t you? Let’s talk about it now.“
Joshua’s brows furrowed. He knew that Luna was trying to get rid of him.
Luna knew full well that he only used work as an excuse to reject Alice’s invitation. That was why she
said that to him to make him leave if there were no work-related issues to discuss with her.
However, there was indeed something he wanted to discuss with Luna. “Quinn Group, as well as the
hacker, stopped attacking Lynch Group since yesterday. Does this have anything to do with you?“
Luna paused. She had forgotten about that matter, but since Joshua had brought it up, Luna realized
there was something she had wanted to tell him but had not had a chance to do so.
Luna sighed and replied, “Do you mind coming with me to Swan Lake Residences? I have something I
need to tell you.“
The information that Malcolm had sent her was on her laptop. When she went home yesterday
morning, she had left the laptop in her apartment. Therefore, she needed Joshua to come with her so
she could show him the contents.
Joshua glanced at her pale face. “Can the hospital even discharge you in this state?“
“I’m fine.“ Luna smiled at him. “I ate two bowls of soup, and they even gave me an IV drip. I won’t faint
anymore.“
Luna’s eyes became crescent-shaped slits when she smiled, and it gave her face a soft and gentle
look.
Joshua was temporarily mesmerized by her smile. He could not put his finger on it, but somehow, every
time he caught sight of Luna’s smiling eyes, he would be reminded of Luna Gibson.
Luna Gibson had the same tender look in her eyes. Joshua’s heart always softened whenever he saw
that, and it made him feel like pulling her into his arms.
However, there was no longer any trace of this soft glimmer in Alice’s eyes. Maybe it was because her
personality had changed.
Luna noticed how Joshua stared at her blankly, so she frowned and repeated, “Mr. Lynch, can we go
now?“

Joshua finally came to and nodded in response. Then, he strode over to the ward next door to summon
a nurse.
The nurse sent Luna down to the hospital entrance and helped her into Joshua’s car. Lucas sat in the
driver’s seat. He turned around to glance at Luna and took in her sickly look. “Are you sure you don’t
want to rest a little longer?“
Luna shook her head and closed her eyes, leaning against the seat.
Joshua sat down next to her and cast her a glance. “
Let’s go.“
Lucas immediately started the car.
Swan Lake Residences was quite a distance away from the hospital, so Luna got to rest for a while.
Her head felt heavy, and when they pulled up in front of Swan Lake Residences, she had already fallen
asleep.
“Sir…” said Lucas in a low voice. “Should we wake her?”
Joshua glanced at the thin, sallow woman next to him and sighed. “Let her sleep a little longer. ” He
contemplated for a moment before he finally took off his jacket and draped it over her.
Time then trickled by.
