Because of Granny Lynch and their unwelcome visitors, Luna lost her appetite early in the morning.
She prepared breakfast and called Nellie and Nigel to the dining table, then headed to visit Neil and finally pushed Joshua's door open, balancing the tray of food i n her hands.
At that moment, Joshua lay at the head of the bed, reading a copy of a medical report. Luna frowned and approached him, taking a peek at the report. To her surprise, it belonged to Granny Lynch.
She paused, set the bowl on the tiny table and raised her eyes, glancing at Joshua. "What's wrong with Granny?"
"She relapsed. It happened some time ago, but she never told me."
Luna's hand that was about to feed him a spoonful of oats paused slightly. "Is it serious?"
"Yeah." Joshua nodded, a hint of exhaustion appearing on his face. "She fell prey to a feuding family many years ago. Because of their extremely low -handed trick, she couldn't even sit up in bed, but to protect the entire Lynch family, she didn’t get treated i n time, instead, she acted swiftly and severely and chased them out of Banyan City to Sea City, then out o f the country. After all this was done, her health
deteriorated greatly.
"After I inherited the Lynch Group, I consulted all of the best doctors in the world, but they could only suppress her symptoms."
As he spoke, he started sighing again, "It's been 10 years since she suffered a relapse. The doctors don’t know the cause of her recent relapse. And she's old now, the doctor said...she might not make it."
Luna bit her lip, sighing as she fed Joshua his oats." That’s why Granny will change her mind, she wants to see you and Michael make amends while she's still alive. She's still worried about you, she's afraid...afraid once she’s gone and I take the children and leave you, you'll be left all alone."
After swallowing down a bite of his oats, Joshua laughed coldly, "Even if I’m left all alone, I don’t need people like Adrian Lynch and Michael as my family."
Watching his stubborn yet lonely eyes, Luna sighed deeply but did not say anything further. After he finished, she turned and headed downstairs.
Joshua lay on the headboard and watched her retreating back, then closed his eyes helplessly.
