Joshua’s hands that were tucking the bedcovers around her paused mid-air. He frowned, gently reaching out a
hand and patted her head. “That’s silly. Your health is in such a poor condition now, becoming pregnant now? Are
you trying to worsen your condition?“
Fiona lowered her head, a flash of urgency passing through her eyes. She almost forgot, in Joshua’s eyes, she was a
critically ill woman.
She bit her lip, her head lowered, her voice faint as she said, “But Joshua, I really want to give you a child. A child of
our own. This way, someone will remember me after I die and pray for me on my death anniversary.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes, smiling as he said flatly, “ I ‘ll remember you and pray for you even without a child.“ With
that, he stood up. “It’s late, you should get some sleep.“

you agreed to be with me. But in fact… like everyone else, you hate me and look down on me, don’t you?“
Joshua narrowed his eyes, then turned and looked at her indifferently. “Why do you say that?“
”Because… ” Fiona sniffed, a hint of a sob in her voice. ”We’ve been together for so long , but you… never slept
with me. You even rejected me when I suggested giving you a child. But you used to say you didn’t have feelings for
Ms. Luna, that you weren’t very close to her when the two of you got married. But Ms. Luna gave you three
children, and one that was miscarried… You didn’t reject her, but you rejected me so swiftly… ”
Joshua closed his eyes and snorted, ”Fiona, I promised to treat you well and I intend to keep it. By right, I’ in now
your boyfriend, I can do such things with you. But you know your own condition. You were so agitated when
Shannon McCartney accused you of drugging Luna that you fell sick. When you saw Luna being beaten at the
seafood market, you were so agitated your breathing quickened and you kept coughing. Sleeping with you would be
much more strenuous. I didn’t engage in those activities with you for your own good.”
With that, he headed out without a single look backward. ”I ‘in not a good father. I indirectly caused the deaths of
two out of my four children. That’s why I don’t plan on asking any other woman to bear my child for the rest of my
life. I’m sorry.” He closed the door to the ward behind him.
Fiona lay on the bed, biting her lip as she listened to the sound of his footsteps drifting away into the distance. She
should not have listened to that woman’s advice and put on an act as a critically ill patient. Even if she did act as a
critically ill patient, she should not have chosen a weird disease that would be triggered whenever she grew
emotional!
Now that she had brought herself into this mess, he rejected her request to sleep with him easily with just a few
simple sentences.
Fiona gritted her teeth in anger.

Even if she had to make him drunk, she would do it. She was determined to have his child! Otherwise, what if one
day her feigned illness was exposed, she would lose all hold on him.
Leaving Fiona’s ward, Joshua strode into the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, he shut his eyes and
took out his phone, his face pale as a ghost. “Lucas.”
On the other end of the phone, Lucas heard the other man’s hoarse voice and sighed involuntarily. “Sir, I’m already
waiting for you at the entrance to the elevator upstairs. Don’t worry.”
Only then did Joshua heave out a sigh of relief and ended the call. He leaned on the walls of the elevator helplessly,
his eyelids fluttering shut.
