Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1099

Because of her?

Luna stared at Christian with wide eyes.

Christian let out a sigh and sat down in the chair next to her bed. Then, he picked up a banana from the bedside table and started eating it, sighing at the same time. "I heard that both Dr. and Mrs. Jenson, as well as Fiona, had died, so I flew back here from abroad immediately. When I got back, the first thing I did was find you, but then I discovered that you were lying here...

"I had no idea that you passed out due to physical exertion, so when I saw you lying here on the bed, unconscious, I thought that you were in a vegetative state.

"And I..." Christian let out an awkward cough. "I cried, right in front of your bed.”

Luna was so stunned by this that she could not say a single word.

Although Christian was only 19, he was still a tall, burly man. Luna could not believe that he had cried for her while she was unconscious.

"When I was crying, I said that I wanted to marry you and that if I had found evidence of Fiona’s lies earlier, none of this would've happened, and I shouldn't have told you about Fiona's fake illness in the first place...

"I didn't know Joshua had been standing at the door all this while, so he heard everything. That's why I got beaten up...

"He said that if I had told him the truth earlier, even though he wouldn't believe it at first, everything wouldn't have turned out this way. He said that both o f you almost died in this incident..." Christian rubbed the bruises on his face as he said this. "Joshua didn't show me any mercy at all. 1

"Initially, when I came back, I intended to visit you, then go back to my hometown to see my family before attending the trial of Violet’s death. After all, even though I wasn’t the mastermind behind her murder, I still made a mistake, and I know I can't get out of prosecution. I don’t intend to hide anymore, either, but now..."

Christian took out his phone and sighed as he stared a t his own mirror image through the front-facing camera. "I can't possibly go home looking like this. If my parents find out that Joshua was the one who beat me up, they'll demand he apologize, and then...it would be chaos. I guess I'll just have to bear with this.”

Luna pursed her lips and sighed, too, as she stared at Christian's wounded face. "I pity you."
