Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1091

As soon as Joshua finished his sentence, it was so silent that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Fiona narrowed her eyes and first glanced coldly at Joshua, then at Luna. Then, all of a sudden, she sneered. "You’re lying to me.”

She turned to look at Nigel who, at this moment, had only three pieces of rope holding him onto the giant rock, and curled her lips into a bitter smile. "There's n o going back anymore, now that I've done something like this!"

"How do you know that?" Joshua let out an exhale and continued, "Fiona, you know better than anyone that if there's someone out there who can help you get out of this and guarantee you an entire lifetime of safety, that person is me."

With that, he took a step forward and said, staring at Fiona with a gentle expression. "Fiona, I know that you’re trying to get your revenge by taking Nigel’s life alongside yours, but at the same time, you'll be dying, too. I don't believe you when you say you don't have anything left to look forward to in this world. If you release Nigel right now and let Luna take him away from Banyan City... I promise I'll treat you well in the future."

Fiona bit down on her lip upon hearing this.

It was not that she wanted to die. After all, she was only 20, so she still had a long way to go in life.

However, she could not stand living her life in poverty anymore. This was why as soon as she found out her bone marrow was compatible with Nigel's, she enlisted Dr. Robert's help to forge a diagnosis of terminal illness so that she could stay by Joshua's side for the rest of her life.

She did not want to die either, but...

Fiona lifted her head and stared at Joshua with red-rimmed eyes. "You’re lying to me; you can't possibly protect me. If you wanted to, you wouldn't have tried t o expose me, and I wouldn't even be in this situation i n the first place!"

Joshua's expression darkened when he saw Fiona's response. He knew that his guesses were correct.

Fiona was doing this simply because she thought she had no other choice. In reality, she did not want to die at all.
