The Story of Dusk 133 SHE WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR HER UNBORN CHILD

"I am." Luna's answer was caught Xiao Tianyao off guard.

He would have never thought that she would answer him so blatantly like that, his dark eyes were trying to look any hidden agenda behind the simple words that she had just said, but he could find nothing.

Luna neither glared nor looked at him arrogantly, she looked at Xiao Tianyao with all sincerity and helplessness, as if her life was hanging by a thread and only him who could save her, save her child, their child…

Xiao Tianyao released her chin and took two steps aback, his eyes became alert as though he was waiting for an ambush attack.

"If you think I am being dishonest and using my ability to control your emotion again, whether you will believe me or not, I will say that I didn't. I don't use my ability now, yesterday, a week ago, or a month ago." Luna's voice laced with tiredness as she started to feel dizzy again.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Xiao Tianyao was squinted his eyes, although he doubted Luna's credibility, but somewhere within him knew that she was telling the truth.

"Do you think you will still question me with those hatred eyes if I really use my ability?" Luna replied him with question again. "You. Standing there…" Luna pointed at Xiao Tianyao. "With alertness… is the proof that I did nothing on you."

Xiao Tianyao stubbornly didn't believe her words, he kept reminding himself that was a lie, like how she had lied to him!

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Luna knew that her words had lost it credibility in his eyes, so no matter what she said, he would simply deny it.

Shaking her head, Luna chose to lie down on the bed as she felt her body was extremely tired.

She really needed her brother to deliver the medicine otherwise it wouldn't be good for her, but she couldn't think about other method to convince the man in front of her. This situation was stalemate!

"Proof it." Xiao Tianyao finally said when he saw Luna was curling herself inside the blanket, trying to find a comfort position.

Actually, Xiao Tianyao had appointed someone to report back everything that Luna did and how her condition.

That person had said recently she was getting tired easily and would spend almost the whole day by reading or sleeping as if with being awake her energy was depleted.

"How can I proof it?" Luna replied softly, adjusted the blanket around her body. Her closed eyes make an impression she was talking while sleeping.

"Set your father up." Xiao Tianyao tried to taste the water, looking for how she would react when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, Luna didn't even flinch when she asked undauntedly. "How?"

"Tell me everything about Modama and Xiao Zi's plan and Call over your brother to bring your medicine while you are at it, find out where is your father now." Xiao Tianyao gave his condition in one breath.

And for his another surprised, Luna actually agreed with him. "Alright, I will do everything as you told."

It took Xiao Tianyao another seconds before he comprehended Luna's willingness to scheme against her father.

"It seems so easy for you to turn your back against your father." He said in mockery.

Luna opened her eyes and those were burning with something that Xiao Tianyao couldn't explain, nevertheless it was so breathtaking when she looked back at him and said those bold words.

"I will turn my back against the devil himself if he tried to harm my child."

*** 

Two days from the day Luna made up her mind to go against her father, Xiao Tianyao didn't appear in her room again.

But when the sun had set, he came to say a few words before Luna met Gong Xu to retrieve her medicine.

Tonight was the day when Gong Xu would come to see her and handed the medicine that could sustain her life. Therefore, without unnecessary notice, he would definitely come.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Remember your words." Luna said icily at him. "I am agreed to help you to outwit my father, but you will not lay a hand on my brother."

Xiao Tianyao was currently sitting on the seat next to the window, where Luna always occupied whenever she read, looking at the barren garden outside.

"I will do nothing to him if he doesn't attack me first, but if the worse happen you have to accept the result." Xiao Tianyao said lazily. "That's all that I can promise."

"There will not any sword drawn tonight." Luna stated as she tightened the robe around her body and stood up. "It's time."

Xiao Tianyao looked over at the woman, she was wearing thin blue sleeping robe with her hair slightly loosen around her shoulder, she looked exactly like someone who ready to go to sleep.

Instead, she was walking out in the hallway toward the backyard of the resort, where the meeting would occur.

"Can't you change your clothes?" Xiao Tianyao followed her to the hallway and frowned when he watched the visible skin under her robe.

"If I change my clothes, Gong Xu will not be aware, but if my father does really come tonight, he would be suspicious. And in my current condition, it's impossible for me to resist his suggestion the moment he decided to use his ability against me." Luna glanced at Xiao Tianyao through her shoulder before continued walking down the hallway.

Luna was supposed to be asleep, so it would be weird if she still wearing her daily clothes.

This tiny detail was something that would blow away her façade if she didn't think about this thoroughly, a little bit suspicious from Modama was enough for him to dig deeper into her mind to find the truth.

And that was the last thing that Luna wanted to happen.

The ray of the moonlight wasn't the only light that brightened up the entire resort as torches had been lit up along the way.

She was standing in the middle of the night with autumn breeze swirled the rim of her dress and her loosen hair, the light that fell on her casted her shadow longer and gave an impression of secrecy.

So mysterious yet so beautiful.

Luna looked like a beauty whose came out straight from the painting.

A little while latter, Gong Xu appeared from behind the wall that separated this resort from outside world.

Why Luna chose this spot was because the guards rarely patrolled around this area and even though she was running into one or two she could always use her hypnosis to keep her meeting secret.

Which was not in her current case, all the guards were deliberately not show up in this area as they were waiting somewhere in the dark.

Far enough from the detection of Modama's ability, but they could still see Luna and acted quickly if something bad was bound to happen.

"Sister." Gong Xu looked around him vigilantly as he strode toward Luna. "Here your medicine." He stuffed the same bottle that he had given her a month ago to her hands. "How are you?"

Luna gave him a faint smile while hugging herself, tonight was indeed very cold. "I am fine." She nodded to emphasize her words. "Did you come alone?" She tilted her head to look pass his shoulder as if waiting another person to come, but no one followed after Gong Xu.

"Yes, I come alone"

"Where is father?" Luna narrowed her eyes at the darkness. "I thought he will come to see the result."

The result that she insinuated was the fact if she had miscarriage.

"He was heading to the black market yesterday." Gong Xu answered.

"What he is going to do there?" Luna asked casually.

"He said another batch is coming."

Luna's eyes hardened when she heard that. She knew exactly what it meant.

"But, father wanted to know if you…" Gong Xu's eyes fell on Luna's flat stomach, it was too early for her to showing, therefore he couldn't tell. "…had gotten rid of…" His voice trailed off.

"Yes." Luna made it easier for him as she saw he struggled with his words. "I had."

The frowned on Gong Xu's eyebrows deepened. "Why did you do that?"

He had painstakingly deceived his father, so the medicine that Luna had drunk previously wouldn't affect the baby, which was Modama thought it contain with abortion potion.

"That's the right thing to do." Luna said expressionlessly as she watched Gong Xu's face crestfallen.

His lips opened and closed repeatedly, but nothing came out from his mouth as he clenched his jaw. He thought his sister wouldn't be so heartless to do it, that was why he gave her a chance to choose.

But she chose the worse options.

"Did put something in my medicine?" Luna raised the small bottle- gourd in her hand to draw his attention.

"No." Gong Xu said rigidly, he even didn't want to see her face. "Drink this to prevent the pregnancy." He fished out a small box from his pocket and shoved it to her hand roughly before turning back and jumped out of the wall without saying goodbye to his sister.

Luna looked at the spot where Gong Xu had disappeared with inconsolable eyes.

Now, she has to start lying to her own brother…
