Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 680

“Mommy is sorry! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought you back to Banyan City with me…“ Luna’s weeps echoed through the cemetery.

Staring at Luna’s scrawny build, Gwen helplessly sniffed and turned around to wipe away her tears.

To present such bad news to Luna as soon as she woke up from her coma was too cruel.

However… Gwen knew that if they did not tell her, it would complicate things in the future, since…

After all, Nigel and Nellie were not doing too well either.

The rain started to grow heavier, so Joshua opened his umbrella and held it above Luna’s head, continuing to watch her weep in silence.

Luna cried from afternoon till evening until she eventually got tired, her voice hoarse in the aftermath. She finally slumped onto the ground, totally and utterly exhausted.

Despite that, however, she still clung to Neil’s tombstone in desperation, as though holding onto it would prevent Neil from actually leaving this world.

“Luna.“ Joshua sighed and threw his umbrella aside. He squatted and pulled Luna into his arms.

She was so skinny that he could feel her bones pressing against his body.

“Listen to me,“ said Joshua in a slightly hoarse but gentle voice. “Neil was a hero. He used the last of his strength to protect his sister. Listen.“

Joshua let out an exhale and took out a necklace from his shirt pocket.

Luna lifted her head and fixated her gaze on the necklace.

She recognized it. This necklace belonged to Neil.

When they returned to Banyan City, Nigel had prepared three necklaces for each of them so that they could communicate with each other. The necklaces even had a voice recording function.

However, all three necklaces looked distinct from each other, so Luna could recognize that the one Joshua was holding was Neil’s.

“The police found this a distance away from the explosion site. Although it’s a little damaged, it didn’t get burned. What I’m guessing is that Neil used the last of his strength to toss it out of the fire.“ Joshua let out another sigh, then pressed the small button on the necklace.
