Chapter 879 Evan and Luna
Dianaâs sharp question left Steven stunned. Considering how they used to misunderstand her, it was true they would never have believed her.
1/7
Seeing his silence, Diana understood everything. She had told them before that she was a doctor, a designer, even a racecar driver. They didnât believe her. They had only laughed, mocking her dreams as unrealistic and delusional.
She smiled faintly and said nothing. Lowering her head, she went back to her phone. At least scrolling helped lighten her mood.
Steven pressed his lips tightly together, a sharp pang in his chest. He had been so busy before. Every time he saw Diana, she was tangled in some argument with Queenie. He hadnât had the patience to uncover the truth. Instead, he chose to trust othersâ words, brushing aside Dianaâs feelings.
He had never stood by her side.
Sam could send his sister to prison for the sake of his wife. Yet for Diana, Steven hadnât done a single thing.
The more he thought about it, the more furious he became, mostly with himself.
The room fell into silence.
Luna and Evan exchanged glances.

more for risking her life to save him. His gaze softened as he looked at her.

Feeling flustered under his stare, Luna simply closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Back in another ward, Queenie returned to see Zion already there. Her expression darkened. She thought, âWhat is he doing here again?â
She forced a weak smile despite her pale face. âMr. Swift, youâre here.â
Zion studied her frail state, frowning in concern. âWhat happened to you, Queenie? Iâve got a new movie lined up for you. The shootâs three months long. You need to recover quickly. Youâre getting quite popular, and the company is committed to promoting you. Get better soon. Trust me, youâll be a star.â
Zion had fought hard to sign her, banking on her connection with Steven.
He believed with Stevenâs influence, his own career prospects. would be bright.
If Queenie failed to rise to stardom, sheâd have no choice but to follow his arrangements and have a life worse than death. She was young and vibrant, a commodity that could fetch a high price.
âAnd whereâs Mr. Gellar? Isnât he here to take care of you? Reporters already know youâre hospitalized. Theyâre all waiting outside the hospital, but this place wonât let them in. If we could get footage of Steven by your side, itâd be a great story. Perfect

âRight now, Dianaâs rescue story is overshadowing you. We need fresh headlines.â
Hearing Dianaâs name, Queenie felt her body tense. It was Diana again; Queenie felt she couldnât get rid of that name no matter where she went.
She thought, âOnce, I may have been Dianaâs nightmare. How has the tables turned? Now, it feels like Diana is haunting me instead.â
She forced a smile. âMr. Gellar is looking after Evan. My parents are here for me, so heâs with him. Evan doesnât have anyone else.â
Zion chuckled lightly. âWhat a compassionate boss Mr. Gellar is.â
Queenie could see through him. She realized that Zion had signed her only because of Stevenâs power.
âCould I not escape Stevenâs shadow and live on my own?â she thought.
This had always been her dream. She believed that someday, through her own efforts, she could stand where she wanted to be.
She believed she didnât need Steven.
âQueenie, rest and recover. I wonât disturb you. Iâve already sent your assistant all the work details.â
He didnât want to linger at the hospital. There was too much to

That was what Zion wanted to hear most. He nodded in satisfaction. âTake care of yourself first.â
Zion gave her a deep look and turned to leave.
Queenie was sensitive and suddenly felt that Zionâs look was dangerous.

Queenie sensed the threat, her instincts kicking in. She inhaled deeply and lay back down. When the nurse came in to set up her IV drip, she quickly sent a message to Felicity. She wanted Dianaâs trending topic removed and her own recent award pushed to the top.
Only after hitting send did she allow the nurse to proceed with the IV.
That afternoon, Luna, Evan, and Paige were discharged from the hospital.
Paigeâs husband, Sam, came to take her home.
Steven pulled his car up to the curb, looking at Diana.
His tone was firm. âGet in. Weâre visiting my grandmother tomorrow.â
Diana felt exasperated.
His calm demeanor made it clear he was being deliberate.
She had planned to visit his grandmother before Christmas
anyway.

After all, with Christmas approaching, she didnât want Steven to make trouble for her brother.
That could wait until after the holiday.
When Evan also climbed into the car, Steven allowed a faint smile. The four of them headed back to the villa.
Mario watched from downstairs as Steven left with Diana and
the others, frowning. He knew Queenieâs brother should be back, and Queenie had messed everything up.
He took dinner to Queenieâs ward.
Back at home, Diana prepared dinner for Steven, Luna, and Evan.
She worked quickly. Forty minutes later, a hearty meal was laid out on the table.
During dinner, Steven ate far more than usual. He disliked dining out, but Dianaâs cooking always had him going back for seconds.
Evan watched Steven eat in astonishment.
Luna, having spent an entire day and night in the hospital, was exhausted. She finished her meal quickly and turned to Diana. âIâm so tired. Iâm heading to bed. You didnât sleep last night. either. Get some rest soon.â
Diana smiled and nodded. âSure. Donât forget to take your medicine, both of you. Iâve already set it out for you.â
Chapter 879 Evan and Luna Diana replied, âAlright.â

Evan grinned again. âMs. Bishop, Iâll take good care of Luna. Sheâs my savior. Without her, I wouldnât be here. Sheâs the one for me, no question.â
Diana raised an eyebrow, amused. âOh? So, are you planning to marry her out of gratitude?â
Evan froze, then chuckled, glancing at Luna. The truth was, he did want to.
Luna glared at him. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Arenât we leaving?â
Evan instantly straightened up, all obedience. âRight, right. Letâs go. Itâs cold outside. Put your hat on.â
His steps were still unsteady, his body weak.
Leaning on Luna for support, he quickly led her out.
Upon watching them leave, Diana smiled. She felt Evan seemed like a good match.
She felt at ease entrusting Luna to him.
In her past life, Evan had been one of the few who lived with clarity. She hadnât seen his story to the end, but she felt it was a happy one.
Diana stood, glancing at Steven, âIâll do the dishes.â
Steven, noticing her tired expression, took the plates from her
Chapter 879 Evan and Luna
âIâll wash them. You should rest.â
Diana looked at him, surprised. âYou? Do dishes?â
Steven frowned, feeling underestimated.
âItâs just dishes. I can handle it. Go on and rest.â
Diana was too tired to argue. âAlright. Thanks.â
