“People say that only wives who no longer care don’t get jealous of other women, so does this mean you
don’t love me anymore, Mrs. Lynch?”
Luna rolled her eyes at him. “Since when did you become so petty, Joshua Lynch?”
She chose to believe him because of what they had gone through, so how dare he even say something
like this?
Would it make him happy for her to doubt him?
Joshua could not help smiling when he heard this.
He lifted her chin and was about to kiss her when someone next to them let out an awkward cough.
“Um…”
Caleb’s hand was curled into a fist next to his mouth, feigning a cough. He said rather sheepishly, “I’m
sorry; have I come at the wrong time?”
A glimmer of anger shot through Joshua’s eyes.
Luna quickly pushed him away and turned to smile awkwardly at Caleb. “No, not at all.” Joshua turned to
shoot Caleb a cold glance, suppressing the annoyance in his heart. “Is there something wrong?”
Caleb curled his lips into a small smile. “Of course there is. why would I impede you two lovebirds if
there’s nothing wrong?”
Then, he lowered his head to glance at the phone. “A minute ago, I received news from the hospital
saying that they couldn’t save the woman named Roanne, and her condition is dire.
“According to the doctors, she doesn’t have much time left, so if there’s anything you guys want to ask

Luna froze when she heard this.
She bit her lip and could not help imagining Roanne lying weakly on the hospital bed.
She never thought that Charlotte would have been capable of killing this woman who had been with her
for more than ten years without even batting an eyelid.
Joshua furrowed his brows. “Since she’s already got one foot in the grave, we won’t get any answers
from her anyway.”
Besides, they had already found out all they needed to from Roanne’s fight with Charlotte beforehand.
However, Joshua fell silent for a moment and decided that it would be too cruel if they did not
even pay Roanne one last visit, considering she had risked her life to help them.
He dragged Luna in the direction of Roanne’s room and asked with a frown, “Where’s Theo?”
“He’s been sitting next to that girl’s bedside all this while.”
Joshua nodded. “That’s good.”
Having Theo accompany her in the last few minutes of her life was probably a dream come true for
Roanne.
However…
Joshua suddenly froze in his steps. “Where’s Dr. Liddell? Didn’t she come with you to Merchant City?
Where is she, then?”
At the door to Roanne’s room, Rachel watched, tears brimming in her eyes, as Theo carefully took care
of the woman laying limply in the hospital bed.
It turned out that…the reason he had disappeared all day was that he had been busy taking care of this
woman.
“Theo.” Roanne smiled weakly at him. “I don’t think… I can survive this…
“Can you kiss me?”
Theo fell silent as he stared at her pale, ghostly face. A split second later, he opened his mouth and said
