"You did it for Nigel, right? Why did you not tell me earlier? If you would have told me, I wouldn't have misunderstood you. I wouldn’t have hated you, I wouldn’t even...have let the things that happened today happen."
Joshua smiled with difficulty. "But, back then...I hoped that you would hate me."
Back then, Joshua thought that Neil had truly died. He thought that there would always be Neil's death between Luna and him. They were irreconcilable.
Under such a situation, to get her to hate him and leave him was the best option. However, at that moment...
Joshua used his final remaining strength and grabbed hold of Luna’s hand.
"Now, I hope that you and I could...for Neil...have a fake marriage." Joshua spat those words out with difficulty and closed his eyes.
Luna was completely taken aback. Joshua mentioned a fake marriage. Turns out, all this while, when he asked her to marry her it was just a fake marriage, yet Luna misunderstood his intentions. She thought the worst of him.
Luna gritted her teeth. Tears fell once more.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry!" She had to apologize to him for many things. Too many things.
Joshua smiled. "All this while, I should be the one to say sorry..."
Both of them apologized to each other back and forth when the ambulance reached the hospital. Joshua was pushed into the operation theater. Luna was sitting alone by the operation theater entrance.
Looking at the sign. Her heart was extremely broken. I t was sufferable.
"Ma'am." Lucas immediately rushed out of the elevator. He almost fell to the ground frantically.
