Thomas sneered upon hearing Gwen's words. "There was never any misunderstanding between me and them."
After all of what Joshua and Luna did to Riley, what misunderstanding could there be? In the first place, Joshua and Luna lost their baby, so they deliberately took the newborn baby from the hospital and pretended that she was theirs. The newborn baby was Riley!
Thomas would not have hated them so badly had they taken care of Riley and treated her as their own, but what happened? They failed to protect Riley. Malcolm had to take Riley from them, and Riley was nearly dead because of Quentin!
Quentin was captured in the end, and Riley was once more back with Joshua and Luna. However, they did not feel the bond with Riley when they reunited with her.
They continuously searched for their biological baby and neglected to accompany and take care of Riley. If it were not for them, Riley would not have ended in such a pitiful, sickly state!
Joshua and Luna were to blame for all the misfortune Riley had suffered, and that meant Thomas did not misunderstand them. He just knew them too well!
Amid Thomas' train of thoughts, his mother's recording voice rang in his ear. She said he should never ever be in contact with the Lynch family, especially Joshua. After all, Joshua's father, Adrian Lynch was a good-for-nothing person. Adrian was the one who caused his aunt's death, and Joshua shared the same dirty blood as Adrian.
He sneered and raised his head to look at Gwen. "I know you just underwent a massive surgery not long ago while having lost your lover, Luke. I know how frail you are, physically and mentally, so I don't want to quarrel with you right now. At the same time..."
He squinted. "I hope you don't get in the way of whatever is happening between me, Luna, and Joshua. The hatred between us isn't so easily solved with just a word or two from you."
After that, he looked at Luna sharply. "What? You think you could bring along your friend since you and Joshua are running out of options to keep Riley? I didn't think you'd be that cold-blooded =a!?QIR? ruthless like Joshua was in the past.
"You know, Yannie kept telling me how nice you were when I spent time with her lately, and I nearly thought twice about you. But..."
A cold smile appeared on his face. "I never thought you'd bring your friend to stop me and create trouble when you know I'm bringing Yannie over to meet with Riley. Do you think I don't dare to do anything to your friend? Don't forget that Luke is dead. Your friend
doesn't have anyone to back her up anymore!"
Luna's heart trembled. Her face turned pale while she subconsciously looked at Gwen, who was sitting in the wheelchair.
Gwen...did not know Luke had passed away!
They had been keeping that a secret all this time and tried several methods to stop Gwen from thinking about anything related to Luke.
They did not think Gwen would find out about it from Thomas now.
In spite of that, Luna did not notice one thing...
Gwen's expression did not change at all when she heard Thomas mentioning Luke's passing.
