Chapter 71
Joyce's heroic dive was quickly festered throughout Khebury.
A girl saving a man was not something you could see every day!
Trending topics, headlines, and major network platforms were overwhelmed with news about her for
several days.
Khebury was in full swing with the first "Khebury Shining Star" contest. It was not like some Khebury Lady
contest, and it was not about qualifications, but a real selection of the best image for the city of Khebury. It was a
truly public event and was absolutely fair.
There was no need for registration but votes from the citizens were required to be shortlisted. So there
would be no forms to fill out and no propaganda to worry about.
You just needed absolute strength, charisma, and public recognition. The elected representatives would
represent the Khebury government in various public service activities in the future.
Then there happened to be Joyce's heroic dive.
It's simply, a perfect match.
Although the selection was almost over, many people named Joyce at the same time, so Joyce is like a
black horse coming out from nowhere, quickly overtaking previous candidates.
A genuine scholar with unparalleled beauty who would even sacrifice herself for her fellow citizen,
undoubtedly the best candidate for the ambassador of goodwill.
In just a few days, Joyce's ranking shot straight up to number one and then took a distant lead.
All of a sudden, the name of Joyce was known all over the Internet.
Because of the fever, however, Joyce did not pay too much attention to the news.
She had tried to keep a low profile most of the days, and when she saw her news, she skipped over it, and
eventually simply blocked the topic.
Sure enough, recovery required a week of rest, and choking pneumonia was much more aggressive than
she thought.
In addition to the fever, she also had a cough. Especially at night, she couldn't sleep well all night long.
It'd been a long time since the last time she could have a clear mind.
Jamie came in every day to give her an anti-inflammatory shot.
Jacqueline had been waiting for days before she could sit down and talk about Charlotte's pregnancy since
she found out about it, but Luther never listened. She was anxious, fearing it might have taken too long and that
upsetting Luther might backfire.
In the living room, the atmosphere became eerie and serious because of their arrival.
It was a bit muggy today, with not a hint of wind.
The living room was so quiet that even the sound of the pendulum swinging from side to side was clearly
audible.
Luther straightened his collar with one hand and came down the stairs, looking unsure of what to think.
During this time, except for that night when Luther took care of Joyce, the two hardly talked to each other.
Luther was busy with work and Joyce spent all day with his grandmother. Nothing really happened between them.
Joyce could sense that since they knew about Charlotte's pregnancy, Luther had deliberately avoided her, not wanting to have too much to do with her.
This was right. Both of them should have returned to their original position.
Luther and Charlotte had a child now. They must have a feeling for each other. And there was a marriage contract between them. They were just made for each other. Nothing could be better for them really.
Stephanie pulled Joyce to a seat on the main sofa, her hair meticulously combed despite her graying.
Wearing a red velvet tunic, the majestic dominance of her youth had not been lost.
She tossed her cane on the coffee table.
The "bang" scared Jacqueline and Shelly from speaking up.
"Hm, nothing good can come from you.’ A sharp and chilling light could be seen across Stephanie's eyes.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
