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.
It was evident that Nellie had struck Joshua on the back of his head with the metal box.
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.
Nigel 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.
Luna 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?”
