"Are you sure you have never met her before?"
Celia was so stunned by Joshua's words that her knees almost gave out. She needed to lean herself against Michael's body for support to help her stand u p normally.
"Michael, let's go!" She pretended not to hear what Joshua had said and quickly left the scene with Michael’s help.
Joshua could not help but curl his lips into a smirk as he watched them leave.
Did they honestly think that they had covered up their tracks so successfully that no one would ever discover their wrongdoings?
Despite this, Joshua knew that he had other more important things to deal with at the moment. After all, his mother had waited almost 30 years for the truth to be revealed, so it did not matter if she had to wait a little longer.
As soon as Granny Lynch’s problem was dealt with...h e would unleash his wrath once and for all. If that happened, none of them would be able to escape! 3
Inside the ICU.
Because she did not receive any booster dose for the
poison that Dr. Janet had administered, Luna's condition was improving day by day.
To avoid suspicion, Dr. Janet continued to deliberately alter the machines in Luna's room. She changed the machines' readings to make it seem like Luna was no longer curable, both to professional doctors and ordinary folk.
"You still need to hold on for three more days," Dr.
Janet told Luna as she fine-tuned the machines. She sighed and added, "The way Mr. Lynch looked at me just now was terrifying. Thankfully, I managed to escape. Otherwise, I'm afraid he might kill me if you suffer another attack."
A pale-looking Luna lay on the bed and forced out a smile. "Is he really that scary?”
"Yes, he is." Dr. Janet sighed. "I have known Joshua for many years. He had approached me when Granny first fell sick, asking me to help look after her.
However, this is the first time I ever saw that look on his face... It's too scary."
What she said made Luna laugh. "Then, is Granny Lynch getting better?"
