After Anne and John left, Luna remained in the sitting room for a long time.
Having Nigel and Nellie taken away from her was already a life-changing event for her, but after what happened this afternoon...Luna felt like her head was about to explode.
She remained seated on the sofa for a while, then stood up and paced around the room. Occasionally, she would disappear into the kitchen to get a glass of water, and after she returned, she would zone out, staring at the glass.
John had suggested she talk to Fiona and convince her to come clean with the truth about Aura, Theo, and Neil.
However, Luna knew that no matter how hard she might try, Fiona would never spill. 2
Fiona wanted nothing more than to see her dead. Therefore, the more desperate Luna was, the happier Fiona would be.
Fiona deliberately provoked her this afternoon because she knew that nothing was more important t 0 Luna than her children. Therefore, how could Fiona possibly take pity on Luna and tell her the truth about Neil and Theo?
Luna racked her brain for a long time, but even then,
she could not figure out a way to get Fiona’s help.
All of a sudden, Luna’s phone rang.
It was a call from Christian.
He guessed that Luna was probably losing sleep over what happened this afternoon, so he called to ask if she wanted to go for a ride to clear her mind.
"Never mind." Luna leaned against the sofa and glanced at the clock. Then, seeing that it was already late at night, she rubbed her brows in despair. "It’s too late now."
"It's not like you can fall asleep anyway, right?” There was a hint of pity in Christian's tone. Having known Luna for quite some time, he knew how important Luna's children were to her.
"If only Fiona hadn't got the goods on me... I would've been able to tell Joshua the truth about her fake illness. If I told him sooner, none of this would've happened," said Christian regretfully. "If I told him everything, he wouldn't have thought I'm taking sides, and he might've looked into this. Even if I tell him that Fiona is faking her illness now, he won't believe me at all. Besides, Fiona's diagnosis has been proven by one of the top medical teams in the world...
