Chapter 66 - Sienna Jiangs Schemes (2/2)

”Starting today whenever I'm home, can you cook meals for me and Amber?” he asked once his bowl was clean.

”O-okay…”

Although she wanted to refute and ask him what was wrong with him, Luna held her tongue. It was obvious that her husband was trying to improve his relationship with Little Amber and become a decent husband to her.

”By the way, when is your next appointment with your doctor?” Hero asked, pertaining to her next prenatal check-up.

”In the next two weeks, why?”

”Of course, to accompany you. What else? We better make sure our baby is growing well,” her husband said proudly. ”How's your brother? Is he allowed to go home anytime soon?”

Luna shook her head. Since she was discharged from the hospital and moved in with Hero, she hadn't visited Julian again. Her mother was patient enough to call her and give her updates about her brother's condition.

”He still hasn't recovered his consciousness yet, but the doctors said he's now in a stable condition,” she answered.

”That's good. I think we found a lead on the accident though. Wife, aren't you curious why Julian was the only one hurt in the accident…? If it was really an accident like the schemer wants it to look like.”

Luna's eyes went wide, her back straightened. Her doubt was really unreasonable then.

Hero watched his wife's expression with curiosity, wondering what she'd do after she found out the truth.

”Sienna Jiang through her mother. She staged the accident that caused Julian's injury,” he said nonchalantly.

Luna hit the top of the table hard, and the glass next to her fell on the floor with a loud crash.

”Sienna Jiang!” She knew it! She just knew that there was something suspicious about her half-sister's sudden change of behavior. That woman wouldn't dare to extend an olive branch unless she wouldn't gain an advantage from it.

Her husband had resources better than her. Why would Hero lie to her over this matter?

Luna knew her husband was unsociable by nature, but she didn't expect that of all people, he would be the one who'd save her from misery. However, Sienna Jiang had been a consistent pain in her ȧss.

Her suspicion started when Sienna had suddenly become interested to help her financially during Julian's surgeries. She was persistent and had given her several calls, pretending she was a worried sister to her half-brother.

It was sickening for Luna to think that Sienna was able to do such thing even to her kin.

”Are you certain?” she asked. She needed Hero's words that he was telling her the truth and not conspiring to use her as a pawn. After all, the Jiang family had a lot of enemies outside waiting for the perfect time to strike them down the moment they saw weakness.

Facing him like this, Luna couldn't find deceit in his eyes. A sudden fear blossomed into her ċhėst as she thought about it. What if Hero or Little Amber ended up being hurt because of her? Luna would never be able to forgive herself if that happened.

”I…” she stuttered, not knowing what to say at the moment.

”Luna Jiang, do I need to remind you again and again? No one can harm you and your family as long as I'm here. Tell your mother to move out of that neighborhood. It wasn't safe for her and Julian once he was allowed to go home.”

Luna shut her eyes. She knew her husband was telling the truth. Sienna might have failed now, but soon, she would attempt to threaten her family and convince her again to give up her inheritance from the Jiang family.

”Do you think I should just give her what she wanted?” she asked Hero in a low voice.

Was her inheritance more important than her loved ones? Wouldn't she regret it later if Sienna finally succeeded in harming her family just because of an inheritance she couldn't even use to save Julian's life?

Hero gave it a thought. In all honesty, Luna Jiang didn't need anything from the Jiang family. The wealth and status of the Li family were way above with the Jiangs anyway. Being his wife, what else she was short of?

”You have me now. Is there something else the Jiang family can give you that I couldn't?” he answered her with another question.
