"Is investigating Fiona to find out whether she feigned her illness or not."
Joshua glanced at Christian suspiciously, then turned and glanced in the direction of the Blue Bay Direction.
The lights in the children's room were now switched off. At that moment, the entire villa was dark, with the only light coming from Luna’s brightly-lit bedroom.
From the figure in the window, she seemed to be sitting in front of her desk with her head bowed, typing into her laptop.
He sighed lowly, in a barely audible tone.
This silly woman. He had treated her like this but still, she wanted to do something for him before leaving the city. Even though he felt warmed deep down, his expression remained cold.
"What did you say when Luna told you she wanted to investigate Fiona?"
"I said...if she should go on if she wanted to investigate."
He turned and leaned back lazily on the leather seat of the car, a cold smile hanging from his lips. "Nonsense. You and Fiona were classmates when you were both studying abroad, she had already been terminally ill back then. You would know best whether she was
feigning her illness, wouldn't you?"
Christian bit his lip. “Ye...yes."
Back then when Fiona was studying abroad, it was true that she had been admitted into the hospital many times for emotional instability. But back then, the doctor said that her emotional instability and sickness were more of a psychological effect.
In other words, once Fiona felt that she should be sick now, then her body would react accordingly and her symptoms would manifest.
In short, she was very experienced at feigning her illness. Seeing as she put so much effort into faking it, the doctor did not expose her ruse on the spot.
Later, he broke up with Fiona and by the time he saw her again, this disease of hers had turned into a terminal illness. Plus, her illness was diagnosed by a team of top international medical experts, and it was finally determined to be a terminal illness with a remaining life span of less than a year.
He did not know how Fiona managed to convince the team of top international medical experts to lie on her behalf, but he knew she held his secret in her hands s o he had no choice but to play along with her ruse.
