Chapter: 314

Luna clenched her jaw. She knew Norah was right.

Two years back, Luna was to marry Derek, who ended up in a coma after a car crash. By then, she was already carrying another man's child. When her parents were losing hope, Norah stepped in, offering to take her place and marry Derek.

At that dark time, with the threat of bankruptcy looming over the Wilson family, Luna's parents eagerly accepted Norah's offer, and Norah became part of the Carter family. She was married to Derek as the second daughter of the Wilson family.

“Even after your marriage into the Carter family, you're still part of the Wilson family. How can you be so indifferent to the Wilson family? They're still your family, right?" Luna questioned.

Luna shifted the conversation. "The moment I heard from my parents about you, I came back right away. You divorced Derek, moved to Dreamview Villas, and now you're working as a doctor at Silver Boulder Private Hospital. You're doing amazing.”

Luna's little girl blinked her large eyes, gazing at Norah with curiosity. "Auntie..." She couldn't grasp the meaning behind her mother's words but was intrigued by the elegant Norah before her.

Norah bent down to meet the little girl's gaze, noticing her resemblance to Luna.

"Whether I'm doing well is none of your concern. You should focus on your daughter. Haven't you noticed she's not looking well?" Norah retorted.

Luna's little girl's complexion was pale, hinting at possible lung issues. Luna could have been difficult to deal with, but her daughter was blameless.

“I suggest you get her lungs checked," Norah recommended.

Luna raised her voice. “Norah, don't push me to the edge! Are you cursing my child upon your first meeting? Can't you show a Little compassion? She's so young!"

"That's exactly why I'm suggesting a medical check-up. I wouldn't mention it otherwise," Norah responded, taking a couple of steps closer. "Now that you're here, why not spend some quality time with your parents? You've been away for years, and they've missed you."

Raising a child wasn't easy, yet Luna had left in pursuit of so- called true love, not returning for a long time.

Luna pressed her lips together. It wasn't that she hadn't wanted to return in those years, but fear of the Carter family's retaliation kept her away. Only after learning of Norah's divorce did she find the courage to come back.

"Thanks for your unsolicited advice! You don't have the right to judge me!" Luna yelled, displeased at Norah's words.

Luna continued, “Anyway, I am back to Glophia. I just came by to say hello. There will be ample time for us to catch up."

She then took out an invitation from her bag, adding, "Dad's birthday banquet is in two days. I hope you won't be missing it. Remember, you're a part of the Wilson family. You can't deny that. You ought to be grateful for the Wilson family's kindness to you."

Norah snatched the invitation out of Luna's hand. "Whether or not I attend is none of your business. Stay out of my private life."

Norah then glanced at Luna's obedient girl and added, "I've said all I have to say. Whether or not you pay attention to your daughter's condition is up to you. She's your daughter, after all."

Norah then turned and left the hospital without a backward glance, leaving Luna with a frown and Luna's little girl with a bewildered expression.

“Mom, is auntie..." the little girl said, pointing at Norah's departing figure.

“Let's go, Shayla," Luna said to her chubby-faced daughter, unfazed by Norah's words. To her, Norah was just jealous of her doing well and trying to make her worry. She vowed not to let Norah deceive her with those words, believing her daughter was completely healthy. She looked forward to the drama that would unfold at their father's birthday banquet.

Back home, Norah tossed the invitation on the table and headed into the kitchen to cook.

The words said yesterday seemed to be effective as she came back without Susanna's presence and Sean's cooking. Smiling, she decided to treat herself to a good meal.
