The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 158

Diana’s pov

“Remember, I’ll only give you one chance,” I smiled, “If you dare to lie, you know the consequences.” Fear spread in Avia’s eyes.

She knew she didn’t have time to think.

To stay alive, she had to admit her wrongdoing-

“I stole the antidote… I told my maid to go through Healer’s medicine box when she wasn’t around…”

As Avia’s words fell, Mrs. Wayne and Nathan both wore expressions of disbelief.

Mrs. Wayne’s lips trembled.

“Avia? Why? You…”

“That’s enough,” I interrupted Mrs. Wayne, “Let’s wait until I save her life before we talk about any questions. You’ve already wasted too much time.”

I looked coldly at Nathan and Mrs. Wayne.

Nathan furrowed his brow.

He glanced at me, hesitated, then quickly left the emergency room with his mother.

The doors of the emergency room closed again.

Half an hour later.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead and came out of the emergency room.

Mrs. Wayne was originally sitting on the bench. When she saw me, she immediately stood up and rushed

to me.

“Avia… Avia, she…”

She seemed hesitant to continue, afraid of receiving devastating news.

Although I disliked Mrs. Wayne, I had to admit that at this moment, I felt a bit sympathetic towards her.

As a mother myself, I understood her anxiety and fear.

“Avia is out of danger,” I told her.

Upon hearing this news, Mrs. Wayne suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

As if remembering something, she grabbed Nathan’s arm.

“It must be the Moon Goddess approving of your marriage that saved Avia from danger. After I go back, I’ll immediately prepare a wedding for you and Avia.”

The corners of my mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

It was me who saved Avia.

However, in Mrs. Wayne’s eyes, the reason Avia survived was simply because of Avia’s and Nathan’s impending marriage.

Her words were so out of line that even Nathan couldn’t stand it.

Frowning, Nathan said, “Mother, it was Healer who saved Avia.”

The smile disappeared from Mrs. Wayne’s face in an instant.

She said confidently, “So what? If it weren’t for Healer concocting that deadly antidote, would Avia have

almost died?”

“The antidote was stolen by Avia,” Nathan emphasized.

“So what?” Mrs. Wayne frowned, “Avia just wanted to survive. What’s wrong with that? In my opinion, the real culprit here is Healer! She knew that this antidote could be lethal, why didn’t she take better care

of it? If she had taken better care of the antidote, how could Avia’s maid have easily stolen it? Moreover…”

Mrs. Wayne paused, took a deep breath, and looked angrily at me.

“As a doctor, don’t you know to advise patients what medicine to take and what not to take? Let me tell you, don’t expect me to thank you for saving Avia! Avia is lying in that hospital bed because of you! You’re just trying to atone now!‘

I was utterly shocked by Mrs. Wayne’s shameless remarks.

I felt like I should argue with her..

However, I also felt that arguing with someone as mentally unwell as her would just be a waste of time.

After weighing my options, I simply chose to remain silent.

Forget it, let her say whatever she wants.

“Anyway,” Mrs. Wayne looked at Nathan, “you must marry Avia immediately, that’s what y promised.”

With that said, Mrs. Wayne walked into the emergency room in her high heels.

Nathan stood still, head hung low, looking utterly dejected.

I couldn’t understand his reaction.

Whether it was Avia’s recovery or his impending marriage to her, both should be reasons to be happy for him.

Who was he trying to impress with this gloomy demeanor?

Shaking my head, I prepared to leave.

“Healer.”

Just as I took a step forward, Nathan called out to me.

I turned to look at him, coldly asking, “Is there something else?”

“I’m sorry for today,” his voice was hoarse.

“I’ve just investigated what happened this morning in the ward. I know you warned Avia several times. that the antidote wasn’t suitable for her, yet she chose to steal it and face the consequences. She was in the wrong from the start.”

I raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“I thought in your eyes, Avia could never be wrong.

Nathan pursed his lips.

After a moment, he said, “I apologize to you on Avia’s behalf.”

“No need,” I scoffed, “Words like apologies only have meaning when they come from the person who did wrong. Besides, what right do you have to apologize on her behalf?

ויי

Nathan was about to say something, but I cut him off.

“I almost forgot, you’re about to get married. You’re… her husband. In terms of identity, you do have the right to apologize for her.”

“Healer, that’s not what I meant. If you feel that a mere verbal apology isn’t enough to appease you, then 1-”

“Are you going to give me money again? How much is Alpha Nathan planning to offer me this time? Three billion? Or ten billion?”

1 sneered contemptuously.

“Unfortunately, I really don’t care about your money. If you’re sincere, why not let Avia taste what it’s like to be called ‘slut‘ and ‘whore‘ by everyone? Since you’ve investigated this morning’s events,

you should know what I went through this morning, right?”

Nathan froze again

But this time, I waited a long time for him to speak again, but he didn’t

I wasn’t surprised at all.

He loved Avia so much, how could he bear to let her face even the slightest criticism?

I rolled my eyes at him.

“Since you can’t do it, stop saying useless things. It makes me sick to hear. With this time, you better go prepare for your wedding, groom to be ”

In an instani, Nathan’s face drained of color, as if my words were a huge blow to him.

But how could that be?

I always believed that getting married to Avia and starting a family would be the happiest thing for him.

I didn’t have the patience to stay any longer, so I left without looking back, muttering a

“congratulations” as I went.

Thad originally intended to retum to my office.

However, halfway there, a group of men in black stopped me. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

I recognized the leader.

He was one of William’s men.

“Miss Reist, Mr. William wants to see you. Please come with us.”

I wasn’t in the mood to see William right now.

Today was Ryley’s birthday, and I was in a hurry to celebrate with him.

I casually said, “I’m busy,” and tried to walk away.

I didn’t expect William’s men to lay a hand on me.

A dull pain struck me from my neck.

I turned back in disbelief to look at the men in black

The other person smiled faintly, “Sorry, Miss Reist.”

In the next moment, the world spun, and I lost consciousness.
