Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 63

“Daddy was alright during dinner.“

Nellie held onto Luna’s hand as they stood in the main lobby of Central Hospital. She looked into the distance worriedly. “Why would he suddenly be unwell?“ “Perhaps he ate or drank something else later on,“ replied Luna flatly. She looked at the entrance of the hospital and furrowed her brows. Why would Joshua have stomach problems? From what she recalled, he always had a good digestive system. He always had to socialize a lot, but not once did his stomach cause any problems. His stomach problem became a recurring sickness in a mere six years? What was Aura doing? How did she look after him until he fell into such a state?

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, a black Maserati stopped at the entrance of the hospital. “It’s Daddy! “ Nellie immediately let go of Luna’s hand and ran as quickly as her short stumpy legs could take her toward the car. Seeing how worried her daughter was, a strange emotion overwhelmed Luna. She lifted her leg and strode toward the entrance as well. Lucas quickly got down from the driver’s seat and opened the backseat door. “Luna, come and help! “

Luna pursed her lips and did not give it much thought. She immediately walked over and helped Joshua up together with Lucas, one on each side. Joshua’s face was miserably pale from the pain in his stomach. The pain was so intense that Joshua’s intricate facial features were distorted. However, he still did not forget to turn around and gently instructed Neil in the car, “Neil, take care of Nellie.“

Neil. The moment Joshua mentioned his name, Luna instantly froze. She subconsciously looked in the car. The boy who wore a yellow shirt and denim overalls cowered backward. He cowardly lifted his head and greeted her. “Hi…“ Luna gasped. What time was it? Why was Neil not in bed but out and about with Joshua? She glared at him and turned to look at Nellie. “Stay in the car with this littleNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

brother. Properly get to know him, “ she spoke as she emphasized ‘properly’. Nellie looked at Neil and was just as shocked, too. “Ne… Hello, a pleasure to meet you.“ Neil was speechless. Seeing how Joshua could no longer stand firm, Luna did not hesitate anymore. She immediately took the car keys from Lucas and threw them to Neil. She got Nellie to go in the car and she shut the car door.

“Stay there, and don’t run around. Do you hear me?“ Her stern tone was not like a stranger talking to a child; it was more like a conversation between a mother and her child. It was the unhappy kind. Lucas furrowed his brows with confusion. Together with Luna, they helped Joshua into the hospital. Outside the emergency room… Lucas sat on a bench as he took the tissue Luna handed him and gently wiped the sweat off of his forehead. “Don’t worry, this is an old recurring sickness.“ “How long has he had this condition?“ Lucas smiled. “Probably five or six years? Six years ago, after the incident with his wife, he had been drinking daily, which aggravated his condition.“ During that period, Joshua would lock himself up in his room daily and drink. No matter how Aura persuaded or chided him, he remained unmoved. There was one incident when he drank so much that his stomach bled. The doctor said that it was his luck that his body used to be in great condition, or he would have long died. Every time he thought of this, Lucas would sigh sadly. Lucas has never seen Joshua’s wife, so he did not know what sort of woman she was that could get a man like Joshua to torture himself because of her. Luna furrowed her brows as her gaze drifted to the doors of the emergency room. Joshua became an alcoholic and drank daily after her accident six years ago? Was he trying to let others think he was mourning her, or was he celebrating the fact that Aura and he were free of her? Her eyes turned cold. Whichever it was among the two, she only had one thing to say: He deserved it!
