Landry Mansion.A fire was raging.Once Theo's car was nearby, Luna immediately noticed the fire by the back of the hill. She widened her eyes and looked in the direction in a daze.If she remembered correctly, that was where her mother's warehouse was!Luna bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.It was not enough for Jim to smash her mother's warehouse, but he had to burn it down, too? How dare he! How could he?!That was her mother's lifework! She had spent her entire life researching and creating drugs, and everything in the warehouse was the fruit of her labor!The butler had told her that whether it was 20 years ago or right then, even when her father went lunatic, he had never once touched her mother's warehouse.Even if her mother was in a vegetative state for almost a year, Mickey still had to take stock and clean the warehouse daily!Even if Jim was getting emotional or going crazy, he could not do that to her mother's things!The car finally reached the Landry
It was like Luna no longer recognized Jim at that moment.No. It could not be. All these must have been done by the media. They were falsely reported.Jim always treated her, his younger sister, well. He would never do this sort of thing! At that thought, Luna took a deep breath. She lifted her head and looked at the two bodyguards."Get Jim to come out. I want him to tell me in my face."Unless Jim told her to her face that he was the one that did all those things, she would not believe a single word she read!The bodyguards looked at each other. Finally, one of them sighed and looked at Luna."You just don't know when to quit!" Then, he turned around and entered the mansion.Luna stood straight and remained in the same spot, letting the rain drench her.Theo took an umbrella over to shelter her."I've already reported the fire, but they said that the fire has been going on for more than an hour. They're already here. They said that someone in the Landry family said that th
Luna's eyes instantly widened at what the woman said as she stared at her in disbelief."Y—You're…Charlotte?""Of course." The woman smiled with a rather mocking expression. "I have to thank you for taking me to the warehouse to get the bottle of medication. Without it, I wouldn't have transformed so quickly."While Charlotte was talking, Jim had slowly made his way toward them. He stood next to Charlotte and swept Luna a cold glance. His tone was aloof as he spoke, "You're the one who came between my Charlotte and me?"Jim's words stunned Luna entirely. She furrowed her brows and looked at the man she called her brother. "Y—You…and Charlotte…""Charlotte and I are back together." Jim sneered. He reached out and hugged Charlotte in his arms, gently giving her a peck on her forehead before turning to look at Luna seriously."We've been apart for so long. We've finally reunited, yet you're here ruining the moment. What can't you tell me tomorrow?"Luna furrowed her brows tightly a
"Jim, I'm tired. Let's head to bed, please?"Jim's eyes, which were filled with abhorrence and resentment, had softened when he heard Charlotte's words.He reached his hands out and gently caressed Charlotte's head. "Alright," he said dotingly, "we'll go now."Then, his expressions changed once again, glaring at Luna coldly. "Fuck off! You're not welcomed here!"Luna was flabbergasted as she watched Jim and Charlotte leave. She immediately rushed out from under the umbrella, passed through the bodyguards, and grabbed Jim's arm."Jim!" Luna bit her lip and held his arm tightly."What happened to you? Is Charlotte threatening you? Why have you turned out this way? Tell me!"Jim should not have turned out this way; he was not this sort of person! She had been living with her brother for a year, and she understood him.There must be a reason why he became this way!Charlotte furrowed her brows upon hearing what Luna said. She let go of Jim's hand and slapped Luna's face brutally.
Luna bit her lip and looked at Charlotte in front of her."Was this your doing, turning my brother into this person?"Charlotte sneered. She gracefully leaned on Jim and smiled a little."What nonsense are you talking about? Since when has Jim changed? He has always been that person that loves me, listens to me, and trusts me."I have to thank you, Luna. If it weren't for you helping me get the skin regeneration drug, I wouldn't have been able to transform into a more beautiful person than before.""Stop talking with her." Jim swept Luna a cold look. His hand that had the jade ring on gently swept Charlotte's hair behind her ears."Didn't you say you were tired? Let's go back to rest."Charlotte smiled tenderly and said, "Okay."Then, she smugly laid her head on Jim's arms."Luna, if you don't want things to turn for the worse tonight, you'll stop disturbing our rest."Then, she held onto Jim's arm, turned, and left with Jim.Looking at the two of them, Luna clenched her fis
Slap!Luna slapped herself fiercely.It was all her fault. She should not have looked for her child with Joshua. She should not have blindly trusted Charlotte because of the child!Slap! Slap! Slap!Luna slapped herself repeatedly. Because of her child, she had disappointed her mother in bed, her father who had lost his mind, and Jim who was under Charlotte's control.Everything that happened to her was because of her decisions. She deserved it!Theo, startled by Luna's behavior, immediately threw the umbrella aside and grabbed Luna's hands."What are you doing?"Luna was crying, slumped on the ground, under the heavy rain. She sobbed, "Theo, it's all my fault. It's all my fault! If it wasn't for me…"Luna sniffled, her tears mixed with the rain droplets."Had I not been so desperate to see my child and choosing to trust Charlotte, this wouldn't have happened!"She hated Charlotte, but she hated herself more.Theo bit his lip and immediately hugged Luna."It's not your fau
"Tell me, Joshua… What should I do?"Luna sat under the heavy rain as she grabbed Theo's arms tightly. Her voice sounded lowly and fragile when she muttered, "What should I do to make everything better? I'm sure you'll have a solution. You're smart, Joshua. You'll have a solution, right?"Hearing Luna's hoarse voice, Joshua was completely heartbroken.He strode over and gently grabbed Luna's shoulder. His voice was extremely gentle as he coaxed, "I have a solution, but come home with me first. Please?"Luna was taken aback by Joshua's words. After a while, she looked at Joshua before looking at Theo once more.She let go of Theo and immediately buried herself in Joshua's arms."Joshua, you'll help me, won't you?"Luna's delirious mind only thought about Joshua at that moment. No matter who she saw, she saw Joshua. Every word she spoke had to do with him, too."I'll help you." Joshua took a deep breath and hoisted Luna into his arms."Come home with me and we'll think of a way,
"Still, I'm sure you don't have to worry too much. I remember her as a very opinionated woman. Also, other than you, doesn't she have another suitor? If you two were to help her out, you can overcome this challenge."Theo could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly upon hearing what Dr. Rachel said."There is nothing I can do."There was nothing he could do to help Luna. Even when he stayed by her side for the entire night, when she was delirious, she mistook him for Joshua.Although Theo long knew how important Joshua was to Luna, he still could not help but feel disappointed at the incident that night.Hearing how depressed he sounded, Dr. Rachel sighed and said, "I'm free right now. Do you want to come to Lincoln City and have a drink with me?"Theo furrowed his brows and thought for a while. "Okay."After all, he could not return to Joshua's mansion that night. Since he could not go home, it would be better for him to have a drink with Dr. Rachel.At that thought, Theo imme
