Lucien’s lips curved slightly. “And don’t say I’m being heartless. Kaia and I are getting married next week–stay long enough to attend the reception, then leave.”
That final blow shattered the last of Luna’s dignity.
Her vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.
“Luna!” Joanne screamed. “Someone call the doctor!”
She turned on Lucien, furious. “Lucien, she’s your niece. You watched her grow up! Isn’t this a little too cruel?”
Lucien remained unmoved. “Sending her abroad is cruel?
“There are plenty of people who dream of going overseas but don’t have the means. The Graves family raised her for years without asking anything in return. But we can’t keep her around if all she does is bring harm.”
Just then, the family doctor, Leo Hawkins, rushed in. “What happened?”
“Dr. Hawkins, please, check on her. She just fainted!” Joanne cried.
Leo quickly checked her pulse and listened to her heartbeat. He

then took her blood pressure.

“Her vitals are stable,” he said. “Has she eaten anything today? This looks like a case of low blood sugar. I’ll give her a glucose shot to help her recover.
“But she should get checked out at the hospital. Low blood sugar’s no joke. It can be more dangerous than high blood sugar. If she passes out somewhere and hits her head, that could be really bad.”
Joanne stiffened. “Could she be pregnant?”
Leo hesitated. He couldn’t exactly tell just by looking. “If you’re concerned, a blood test at the hospital will confirm it.”
Lucien let out a dry chuckle. “Joanne, don’t tell me you think being pregnant means she gets to stay?
“Relax. Medical care abroad is excellent. I promise your precious grandchild will be delivered safely.”
Zane and Joanne were stunned.
Joanne was practically fuming with rage. “Lucien, you—”
“Enough!” Allen barked. “Let’s all calm down. Dr. Hawkins, give her the glucose injection. Then send her to the hospital for bloodwork to confirm whether or not she’s pregnant.”

Zane and Joanne had no choice but to scramble to get Luna to the hospital.
The events of the night had been overwhelming, Kain felt like her head was still spinning,
“There’s no way she’s pregnant,” Alyssa said with a scoff. “Kaia, she always pretends to be the victim whenever she does something wrong. I’ve known her tricks since we were kids,”
Truth be told, of all the people affected by Zane and Joanne adopting Luna, Alyssa had been the most impacted.
She still remembered Luna’s first birthday after joining the family. Alyssa had given her a favorite toy as a gift. And Luna had turned around and given it away to someone else.
After that, Alyssa didn’t want to play with her anymore.
But somehow, that became Alyssa’s fault too.
Luna had cried in front of the whole family, accusing Alyssa of not liking her.
That was when Alyssa’s dislike turned to outright disgust.
Thankfully, Alyssa had a reputation for being a little sharp, and Allen always took her side–otherwise Luna would’ve dragged her down a long time ago.

Kaia smiled faintly, “Alyssa, whether she’s pregnant or not doesn’t really matter. Either way, she’s leaving the country.”
That got a laugh out of both of them.

In the OB–GYN clinic, Joanne sat on edge, staring anxiously at
the doctor.
“So? What are the results? Is she pregnant?”
The doctor pressed his lips together, pausing for a moment before answering.
Who had brought this girl to OB–GYN for anemia?
Since when did anemia require a trip to this department?
The doctor replied, “Well, according to the tests, she is showing signs of mild anemia and low blood sugar. That’s all.
“She really shouldn’t have been unconscious for this long, though. Did she get into an argument earlier? Maybe she lost the fight and got too worked up.”
He sighed, “Honestly, eighty percent of their problems come from stress and emotional outbursts. You should really encourage her to take things more lightly. Holding in resentment won’t help anyone.”

Joanne’s face flushed red, then went pale. “What kind of nonsense are you saying? Are you trying to insult her in a roundabout way?”
The doctor blinked, baffled.
Insult her?
He was just trying to offer some practical advice.
He turned and pressed a button on his intercom.
“Security, can someone from administration come over? We have a family member causing a disturbance.”

“Ma’am,” he said, snapping his clipboard shut, “I’ve finished going over your daughter’s results. If there’s nothing else, please leave. I have other patients to see.”
Zane, mortified, dragged Joanne out of the consultation room before she could escalate things any further.
“That’s enough! Haven’t we embarrassed ourselves enough for one day?”
Joanne was so furious that her hands were shaking.
Only Alden knew for sure that Luna couldn’t possibly be pregnant. They’d only been together a couple of times–what

He said, “I’ll arrange for Luna to be admitted for a bit of rest and observation. You two should head back to the Graves Manor.”
Zane let out a heavy sigh. “Alright. Stay with her for now. She won’t be in the country much longer anyway.”
He deeply regretted not stopping Luna from returning in the first place. If he had, none of this would have happened.
There was no point in saying more now. Zane and Joanne left, leaving Alden and Luna alone in the hospital room.
About a drip’s worth of time later, Luna slowly began to stir. “Alden…”
