Chapter 239 - Who Is To Blame?
Chapter 239 - Who Is To Blame?
Sarah realized Luna's presence, she immediately let go of her father's embrace and then approached Luna with fast steps.
Plakkk...!
Sarah immediately slapped Luna. Luna could only cry and couldn't fight back, because she understood why Sarah was so angry.
"All because of you, Luna!" Sarah snapped in her tears. "My husband died just because of you!"
Luna shook her head. "I don't want him to die either, I feel lost too." Luna cried looking at Sarah with pity, of course, she also felt the loss of Edward who had been a part of her life,
Edward was also her brother-in-law.
"You must have deliberately ordered the police to shoot him so you can live happily with Ethan, right? You're bad, Luna! You and your husband are bad!" Sarah pushed Luna until she almost stumbled to the floor but was caught by Arsha.
"Sarah!" Hans immediately pulled Sarah before doing even worse to Luna who could only cry in resignation.
"You'd better take her away, Sarah is still shaken because she hasn't accepted this fact yet," Hans called out to Arsha.
Arsha nodded then helped Luna stand up straight again. "Come on, Luna, let's just go. Next time you can have a nice talk with her," he said.
Luna immediately walked away with a limp because her leg was still sore. She walked back to the front of the ICU room where Ethan was being treated, with Arsha who always accompanied her.
in front of the ICU room, there was Ira with Tony and also Richard. They looked at Luna with pity.
"Mrs you should go home first to take a rest, let me take care of Mr. Ethan with the others," said Ira.
"I have to wait for him to wake up," Luna whispered, staring at Ethan through the glass door. She was afraid that her husband would suffer the same fate as Edward.
Arsha sighed glancing at Luna who was very worried about Ethan. "You have to believe that he will be fine. You also have to remember, Keenan and Keyra have been fussy since yesterday because they missed you," he said later.
"Are they cranky?" Luna made sure. She had been so focused on what was happening that she had forgotten about the two babies.
Arsha just nodded.
"It's better to meet the kids first while resting. If Mr. Ethan is awake, I will give the news," persuaded Ira.
"Take good care of him, I'll be here again tomorrow," Luna ordered sadly.
Ira nodded. Luna looked at Andrew who almost fell asleep in the chair with Richard.
"Drew."
"Yes." Andrew walked over to Luna.
"Please tell Mommy Dina about Edward," Luna called. She couldn't imagine how her mother-in-law would be devastated when she found out that her beloved step-son had passed away.
"Yes," Andrew replied.
"You can also go home after this, invite others to rest," said Luna. remembering that since yesterday Andrew, Arsha, or other bodyguards did not rest while looking for her.
Andrew nodded. Luna immediately went home with Arsha.
During the trip, she couldn't stop thinking about how sad and long this night had been for her. from dinner, attempted rape, running away, chasing in the dark forest, running from brutal gunfire, then seeing Ethan shot and then Edward being shot by the police.
Luna took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, trying to calm herself down so she wouldn't cry.
Arriving at the house, Luna was greeted by Shandra who immediately hugged her.
"Luna ... I'm so worried about you," she said while sobbing.
Luna let go of Shandra's arms. "I'm fine, Sis. But...."
"But what?" asked Shandra very curiously.
"Ethan was critical and Edward died," answered Luna who couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Die?"
"Yes, Sis, even though his wife is pregnant. I can't bear to see her so devastated, all this happened only because of me, Sis. Am I selfish if I keep choosing Ethan?" Luna felt guilty again.
Shandra shook her head then invited Luna to sit on the sofa. "It's not all your fault, Luna. Don't keep blaming yourself."
Luna looked down, how could she not blame herself? If she hadn't turned down Edward, maybe Edward wouldn't have been so brutal by shooting her and Ethan as well. But she was also scared at the time because Edward was trying to rape her and had dared to hit her. Luna is feeling uncomfortable, Edward dies and Ethan is seriously injured, all because of a love for her.
"I never thought things would turn out like this, someone's life is lost just because of love. The last time I was with Edward looked different, sometimes he was kind, and sometimes he was terrible. He'd rather see me dead than living with Ethan or some other man."
Arsha and Shandra were just silent hearing Luna talk, they felt sorry, so many things made the woman cry. Then when will she be happy? Ethan is still not sure when he will wake up, because he is in the same condition as before Edward died, he is very critical because of the many shots he gets.
"If Ethan hadn't gotten in my way, I would have been shot. He still protected me even though he was so badly injured. I was so scared, he fell in my arms."
Shandra hugged Luna again. "Alright, Luna. Don't keep blaming yourself, because this is all Edward's fault who can't accept the fact, he left you long before you were with Ethan. You're not wrong, Luna," she said.
"Just take her to the room, let her rest with her kids," Arsha exclaimed.
Shandra nodded then led Luna to the guest room, where Keenan and Keyra were sleeping. She noticed that her sister was limping with a bandaged feet "What's wrong with your foot, Luna?" She asked as she walked.
"Only hit by broken glass, Sis," answered Luna sadly.
Sandra sighed, looking at Luna who was so worried about her forehead also attached with a small bandage. "What happened to your forehead?" She asked again.
"Hit the table," Luna whispered.
"Because of Edward?"
Luna nodded. "He was very rude, but that's why I passed out and he stopped raping me," she said.
Shandra shook her head in disbelief, Luna was faced with such a terrible incident. She imagined how terrifying it would be to be raped, to be in the dark of the woods, to be confronted by her husband being shot and Edward's death. Maybe she will cry all day and will be traumatized if this happens.
Arriving in the room, Luna looked sadly at her two babies who were sleeping with the babysitter. "Keenan...Keyra...."
Anna and Gita woke up when they realized Luna's arrival, they immediately got out of bed, allowing Luna to sleep with the twins.
"Are they always fussy?" asked Luna with teary eyes.
Anna nodded. "They refuse to drink formula milk, Ma'am. Maybe because they are too hungry and thirsty, they finally want to drink it," she said.
Luna immediately approached Keenan and Keyra, kissed them one by one, then slept beside them while hugging them. She hoped that when he woke up she would get news that Ethan was awake.
'Hopefully, the four of us can sleep together, as usual,' Luna thought as she closed her eyes, hoping that sweet dreams would come to her subconscious, erasing the shadow of a night that was so long and horrific for her and Sarah, she kept thinking of Sarah who was pregnant instead left dead. Anyone will be sad and very devastated...
