Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1039

Joshua frowned and set the newspapers aside. "Not all hospitals are the same..." Before he could finish, the car had slid to a stop in front of the hospital.

Nellie pushed open the door and flew to the entrance o f the hospital as if she had wings on her feet. " Mommy, I'm coming!"

After Aura left, Luna was sent back to her ward. She climbed onto the bed painfully and was about to rest for a while when the nurse in charge of her rushed in again. This time, she brought a few others with her.

They pressed her onto the bed, one of them dabbed makeup onto her face, while another changed her clothes, one more even threatened her and said, "Mr. Lynch is bringing someone to see you, be smart! You should know, no matter what you say, Mr. Lynch won't take you out of here because he thinks you’re sick. If you said anything you shouldn't say and Mr. Lynch puts the blame on us, after he leaves, you will suffer a thousand times over! If you don't want to break two fingers tomorrow, put on a good show!"

Luna was moved and turned like a doll. She had no other option except to agree. They were right, even if she told Joshua the truth, he would not take her out. After all, no matter what, he would not let her leave. She could only obey them and put on a show in front o f outsiders.

A short while later, she was well made-up again. Her messy hair had been combed into place; her pale complexion covered by foundation. They even applied lipstick on her.

Her injured hands were stuffed into gloves. They were ordered to explain that the gloves were needed for some physical labor. After everything was ready, a few of the workers led her to the visiting room.

Initially, Luna thought Joshua and Fiona were the ones who came to visit her, she did not expect —

"Mommy —!"

The moment she stepped into the visiting room, a small body hurtled toward her. Nellie rushed into her arms, her usually clear voice now containing a sob. "I miss you so much! I haven't talked to you in a whole day! Mommy, how are you!"

When the little girl rushed toward her, she accidentally knocked into Luna's left hand. Her little finger that was smashed to bits started hurting again, the pain made her want to scream out loud. But still, she gritted her teeth and held it in. 1

Before, those people kept warning her not to show her injury in front of people who visited her. At that time, Luna did not know that her visitors were Nellie and Nigel. If she knew her children were here, even if they did not order her to, she would still pretend that she was doing well. She did not want the children to see her all injured and beaten up. She did not want them t o feel sad because of her.

She took a deep breath, smiled, and pulled Nellie into her arms. "What are you worried about? Mommy is here to receive treatment, not to suffer." With that, she turned and smiled cheerily as she glanced at Nigel who was seated on a chair, a myriad of emotions in his eyes. "Your sister is so excited, aren’t you excited t o see Mommy?"

Nigel looked at Luna's feigned smile and the moisture i n her eyes that she held back forcefully, a swirl of emotions whirling in his chest. A long while later, the little guy sighed, jumped down from the chair, and strode to his mother, pulling Nellie out of his mother’s arms. "Mommy is a patient, and yet you want her to hold you, don't you feel ashamed?"

Nellie pouted and climbed out of her mother's arms. During the process, the little girl's body bumped into Luna’s injured finger. Mind-numbing pain radiated from her finger, causing Luna to tremble violently. But still, she gritted her teeth, forcing the pain down, and turned to smile at Nigel.
