"If he’s hospitalized..."
"If he's hospitalized, then you should go take care of him, Ms. Blake." Luna smiled coldly, her indifferent eyes sweeping smoothly across the other woman’s face.
"Last time Joshua was hospitalized, you said you fell sick and refused to even leave your room. So as his girlfriend, all you did was visit him once, then for the rest of the time, I, his ex-wife, was the one who was caring for him. But the man who I poured my time and effort into taking care of drove straight to the Orchard Manor the moment he woke up, without even a word o f thanks, just to carry you in his arms to the hospital for your operation. Now that your operation has been done, you wouldn’t fall so sick again that you can't even leave your room right..." 1
She shifted her cold eyes onto Joshua and looked into his eyes. "It's time you return everything that you owed me, am I right?"
Joshua could not help but smile bitterly to himself. Luna said he should return everything that he owed her. She was right, he should. But even if he spent his whole life repenting, he could not return everything that he owed her.
The man took a deep breath, ignored Fiona's sobs, took the wine glass, and emptied it.
One after another.
Outside the door, Lucas watched the scene unfold in front of his eyes, so anxious he felt as if his heart was o n fire. He even called an ambulance just in case.
Eight consecutive glasses. Joshua emptied them all. When the last cup was empty, Fiona was practically lying in a puddle of her own tears.
Luna sat in her spot with her heart aching in her chest.
This man...
He could really do anything for Fiona. He clearly knew he had problems with his stomach, he knew he had fallen unconscious not too long ago. But for Fiona...
He endured it all.
