FreeNovelChapter 770 Mia and Caleb'stood side by side, waiting for the elevator together. When the doors slid open, they were taken aback to see Luna seated in a wheelchair.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense.
Caleb cleared his throat, startled by Luna’s unexpected presence. “Luna, what brings you here?” “I heard there's a renowned orthopedic surgeon here, so | thought I'd cand see for myself. That's when | ran into Tim's secretary and learned about his hospitalization.” Luna maintained a subtle smile, seemingly unfazed by the recent events at Aide Castle.
Mia couldn't help but admire Luna's boldness. She certainly was shameless.

Standing outside the elevator, Mia exchanged a glance with Caleb before stating, “I think I'll wait here for a bit longer.” Caleb rubbed his nose, momentarily unsure of what to say. Who would have imagined encountering Luna here of all places? Suddenly, Luna broke the silence. “Ms. Monalize, is Ginger still sick?” Mia's gaze turned cold. Without acknowledging Luna's question, she turned away and walked off.
The elevator doors closed behind her.
Turning to Luna, Caleb asked, “Luna, how's your leg holding up? You know Shelly has always been bossy since childhood. Why would you intentionally provoke her?” “Caleb, I've tolerated Shelly for many years, but I've reached my limit,” Luna replied.
As she glanced down at her injured leg, her resentment toward Shelly intensified. She was determined not to let Shelly off the hook next time.
Looking up, Luna deliberately inquired, “Caleb, why is Tim suddenly in the hospital? Is he ill?” “I'm not entirely sure. | only just found out about it myself,” Caleb replied cautiously.
He decided it would be best to avoid mentioning the matter to prevent unnecessary complications.
Luna sensed Caleb's evasiveness, but she decided not to press further. After all, she was already aware that Timothy was hospitalized to donate his bone marrow. to Ginger.
With a facade of concern, Luna approached Timothy's hospital room. “Tim, are you feeling sick? Why didn’t you let anyone know you were here?” Timothy's gaze turned cold as he glanced at Caleb, clearly displeased.
Caleb swiftly clarified, “It wasn’t my doing. We just happened to meet in the elevator.” “Tim, it's not ideal for you to stay in the hospital without anyone taking care of you. Hospital food isn’t as hygienic as home— cooked meals. How about | bring you food every day?” Setting aside his iPad, Timothy met Luna’s gaze. “Don’t you have anything better to do? How are you still able to move around in a wheelchair?” Luna's expression wavered briefly. “Tim, don’t worry about me. Using a wheelchair isn't a major issue.

“It seems like your injury isn't as severe as Shelly's. She's still confined to bed.”
Luna's demeanor shifted abruptly, and she rushed to clarify, “Shelly js just pretending, to avold taking responsibility. But | won't press the matter. | merely mentioned it to startle her. We're family, after all.”
Timothy frowned in response.
“Instead of bringing me food, why don't you focus on addressing Asher's behavior? I've heard he's been getting into fights and bullying others at kindergarten.” “But Tim, it's normal for children to have minor scuffles at school.” Timothy's face turned grim. “Luna, do | need to remind you once more that you're only allowed to remain in the Barrett family because of Asher?” Bowing her head, Luna replied, “I get it. I'm just here at the hospital to see the doctor.” “Do you reckon a private hospital would offer better conditions than this? Cut the act. You can leave; there's no reason for you to stick around.” With tears brimming in her eyes, Luna exited the ward. Caleb observed quietly from the sidelines. It seemed that Luna wasn't as innocent as she appeared on the surface.
Once Luna departed, Caleb finally voiced his thoughts, “I had a feeling there had to be more to Luna's sudden appearance at the public hospital. Tim, do your reckon she stumbled upon something?”
