Chapter 1939 When Dr.
Laura Suess came out of Bonnie‘s room, Joshua was talking on the phone in the
living room
The members of hispany‘s higher management were reporting on the oue of the tactics they
had employed against Landry Group that afternoon.
“Alright, that’s enough now. Just keep me updated if there are any changes.
Thanks for your work, everyone.”
Every single syble of Joshua’s low, melodic voice hammered against Dr. Laura’s thumping heart.

She could not resist handsome, sessful, independent men like this, much less one that possessed
such an angelic voice.
Truth be told, Joshua had caught her eye ever since he arrived in Merchant City.
At that time, her colleagues at the hospital would pore over the daily news and gossip about how
handsome, rich, and attractive this neer Joshua Lynch was.
Every time her colleagues brought up the topic of Joshua, Dr. Laura would pretend as though she could
not hear them.
However, she still could not help searching for Joshua‘s name on the inte and reading news about
him in secret.
The moment she read the news about Joshua sessfully defeating both the Landry and Quinn families
—two of the most powerful families that had dominated Merchant City for over 20 years—and
forcing them to team up to stand a fighting chance against him, Dr. Laura knew that this was the man
she wanted to marry.
3 Only a powerful, sessful man like him was fit to be her future spouse, and Joshua Lynch was the
cream of the crop.
Therefore, Dr. Laura quit her job at the hospital and spent the next year working toward
her goal until, finally, she seized the opportunity to be Joshua‘s family doctor.
The glimmer in her eyes grew even more determined as she stared
at the tall, slender man sitting on the sofa.
The person she loved was just within her reach. One day, she would make Joshua Lynch
hers! At this moment, Joshua hung up the phone. “Dr. Laura.” Joshua did
not even have to turn around to know that she was standing behind him. “How’s Bonnie
doing now?” Dr. Laura finally came to and approached him, smiling. “She‘s fine, although she‘s still a littl
e weak after having undergone the abortion.” Joshua narrowed his eyes and fixed his sharp gaze on Dr.
Laura’s face as though he could see

right through her lie. “Are you sure she went through with the abortion?”
Truth be told, Bonnie was not very good at hiding the truth. When they were still at the clinic, Joshua had
already noticed a clue.
Even though the paper that she showed him and Luna was indeed a legitimate surgery consent form, the
most crucial signature to signify thepletion of the surgery was missing This
meant that Bonnie had consented to the surgery and was on the waiting list, but she had chickened out
and changed her mind at thest minute, choosing not to go through with it in the end.
This was why the signature was not recorded on the consent form.
However, she still imed that she had gone through with the abortion.
Joshua understood what she was trying to do; she just did not want to let anyone know that she still
loved Jim.
After all, anyone would think that the most beneficial decision for her would be to forget about him.
However, it was because Joshua knew Bonnie had chickened out that he even dared to say the things
he had said to her.
He was worried that Bonnie would regret her decision and put her child at risk again in the future, but at
this moment, it seemed that she would not do so anymore.
“Yes...yes…” Dr.
Laura lowered her head nervously. “Ms. Bonnie has indeed gone through with the abortion…”
She did not dare to meet Joshua’s gaze as she stammered, “I gave her some medicine to make her feel
better, so…” Joshua narrowed his
eyes and snickered. “Alright, I‘m not going to make things difficult for you, Dr.
Laura.
You can go now.” With that, he leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes in exhaustion. As soon as he
closed his eyes, Joshua’s chiseled face was enveloped with an expression of gentleness.
Dr.
Laura could feel her heart thumping in her chest as she stared at the man before her.
She wanted nothing more than to pounce on him right this instant and tell him that she had been in love
with him for over a year!
However…
“Anything else you want, Dr. Laura?” Joshua asked, frowning
when he sensed that the woman standing before him had no intention of leaving. Dr. Laura immediately
came to and let out an awkward chuckle. “Well, there‘s something I hope you can
help me with…” She let out a sigh and exined, “I saw Ms. Luna when I was bringing Ms. Bonnie in just
now, and, seeing that she seemed unwell, I asked her which room she was in so that I could offer to
check on her as soon as I was done with Ms.
Bonnie, but she refused.
She told me that if she were really unwell, she‘d go to the hospital herself and didn’t need me to worry
about her…”
With that, she bit her lip and said with a hint of sadness in her voice, “I don’t know what she was implying
with that. I‘m a professional doctor, yet she insists on going to a hospital to seek treatment should she
ever feel unwell instead ofing to me. “Besides, some diseases presentte or without symptoms at
all, and I wouldn’t want her to end up seeking treatment toote…” Dr.
Laura let out another sigh and added, “Maybe Ms.
Luna mistook my kindness as something else and thought I was a busybody…” Joshua furrowed his
brows and nced at her impassively. “I think Luna looks perfectly fine.” “That’s because the two of you
see each other every day, and thus, you can‘t tell if anything is wrong with her.” Dr.
Laura sighed before turning to leave.
“Well, nevermind.
Maybe you think I’m a busybody too, but I was just trying to take care of her, considering how close she
is to you…”
Joshua opened his eyes and nced somewhat helplessly at Dr. Laura’s retreating figure. “Dr. Laura,
Luna doesn’t have anything against you, but she and I got into an argument just now, s o she must’ve
been in a bad mood and must‘ve identally taken it out on you.”
Dr.
Laura’s face lit up when she heard this.
Luna and Joshua had a fight? This was the perfect opportunity to drive a wedge between them! As soon
as she thought of this, Dr. Laura let out another helpless
sigh and turned around.” Well, since that was what happened, I
won‘t take Ms. Luna‘s actions to heart. Why don‘t I go upstairs now and check on her?”
Joshua contemted this for a moment,
frowning, and finally waved his hand in refusal.” Nevermind. She‘s not in a good mood now, and even if yo
were genuinely trying to help her, she wouldn‘t be able to appreciate it anyway. “It‘s all
my fault; I shouldn‘t have gotten into a fight with her.”
He nced at Dr. Laura and added, “You can go home now, Doctor, and maybe you can check o n Luna
the next time youe here. It‘s best not to irritate her now that she‘s in a bad mood.”
As soon as he said this, Joshua got up from his chair and strode upstairs. “Let me apologize to her.”
Joshua’s words were like a hard kick to Dr.
Laura’s heart.
She stared at Joshua’s retreating figure and clenched her fists next to her.
What was so good about Luna? Why did Joshua have to bow down to her every whim and fancy?
Why should a man like Joshua apologize to her? What made Luna so much better than everybody else?
