Joshua was in the operation theater being resuscitated for the entire night. The next day at four in the morning, he
was being pushed out from the operation theater. He was still unconscious.
Luna had not slept for the entire night. When he was no longer in danger and was pushed to the ward, Luna still
remained by his side next to his bed. She was not willing to leave him alone for a single moment.
Lucas had tried multiple times to persuade her to head home to rest, but she refused.
“Joshua. “ Luna held Joshua’s hand. Her voice was hoarse and weak. “I used to think that no one would care for my
children as much as me in this world. I never have thought…“
He would actually do so many things for his children behind her back. Luna did not understand and was unaware of
his doings. She only misunderstood him, blamed him, and thought of him as the extremely vicious bad guy.

Luna hoped that the first person Joshua saw when he woke up was her. The first thing that he should hear is her
apology. If not, Luna’s guilty conscience will eat her up.
10 in the morning, Lucas brought Nigel and Nellie over. When Nellie saw the unconscious Joshua, tears could not
help but fall, “It’s my fault! It’s all my fault! If I did not insist on using Nigel and I going missing to attract Mommy to
the beach, last night would not have turned out this way! Daddy would not be sitting by the beach watching the
fireworks in disappointment and getting hurt in the end! It’s all my fault!
“When I was planning the birthday party last night, Daddy said that we are too important to you and we should not
play pranks like pretending to go missing. He said that Mommy would get angry.
“But I thought that even if you got angry when you saw the birthday surprise we threw for you, your anger would
instantly die down.“
Then, Nellie looks at Luna with a tear-stricken face.
“Mommy, please don’t blame Daddy. It’s my fault. I was the one that planned everything yesterday. I was the one
that insisted on it. Daddy actually cared a lot about how you feel, but he could not stand my crying and tantrum,
that was why…“
Luna bit her lips. She reached one hand out and ruffled Nellie’s head. The other hand was still holding Joshua tightly.
The night before, Christian told her that she did not understand Joshua at all. At that time, she even retorted saying
that no one understood Joshua more than her in this world.
Up until that moment only then did she realize she truly did not understand Joshua well enough.
She did not understand how much he treasured her and the children. She also did not know how much he
understood her and how much he cared for her.
All this while, Luna thought that he was lying to her, that he was finding an excuse for his heartlessness.

At that moment only then did Luna realize how wrong she was.
“Uncle Lucas.“ Nigel, who had been silent by the side, sighed and looked at Lucas. “This morning I already told you
to send someone to check on the surveillance footage by the beach. Did you do it?“
“Y—Yes.“
Nigel furrowed his brows. “Then did you find out who was the one that hurt Daddy?“
Lucas has checked the surveillance footage on the road along the beach, but he only saw a few cars. He could not
even see the people in the car. The shops by the beaches all had surveillance, but because they were not
connected to the internet, Lucas had to send his men door-to-door to check.
Lucas looked at Nigel, then looked at Luna. Once he got a look from Luna, he cleared his throat.
“No.“
