Luna’s heart sank to the bottom.The people that were protecting Aura were people from the Lynch family.Back then, Aura had tried to harm Neil and Nellie many times.If it were not for Neil sacrificing himself and going along with Aura, they would not have been able to gather evidence of Aura trying to harm them.Joshua knew all about this.However, on the surface, he wanted Aura to pay the price, but actually, he secretly sent men to protect her?Luna felt a little dizzy.This…“So, Mommy, Uncle Malcolm would go up against that scumbag Joshua not only because of you being bullied in Sea City. He also wants to seek justice for Nellie and me.”Luna bit her lips.Joshua’s words in the car a moment ago rang in her ears.“I’m giving you the opportunity to get them to stop. If not, when I return to Banyan City tomorrow, they wouldn’t be so smug anymore. I have the ability to do it.”Luna truly believed that Joshua has the skills to do it too.She has witnessed firsthand his ta
In the evening, Luna received the information from Malcolm. It was detailed. It showed in detail the information of every single person who was protecting Aura.Luna could recognize a few of them. She has even met some of them before.They were indeed Joshua’s men.Her heart grew colder as she flipped through the documents.All these men were once Joshua’s cronies. How would these men dare to protect Aura without Joshua’s orders?At that thought, she switched off her computer, reached her hand out, and clutched her forehead.She has already known Joshua for many years. She once thought that she knew him well.Six years ago, the things that Joshua had done to her for Aura was a huge sudden blow to her, sending her to the pits of hell. Six years later, once again, she thought she knew him. She returned to him, wanting to take something from him so that she could cure Nigel.However, she realized that she still did not know him well enough. He was probably the only person that s
Luna slept for a long time. She seemed to be unable to wake up from her dream.She dreamt that she was dragged down from the car by someone while being unconscious.She could not open her eyes, but she could feel that her legs were being dragged on the ground. They were bleeding and they hurt a lot.The sound of men talking rang out in her ears. She could not hear what they were saying but she clearly heard things like raping then killing.She wanted to open her eyes, but could not no matter what.In the end, she woke up by cold water being splashed on her.She opened her eyes and realized that everything was not an illusion nor a dream.At that moment, she was in an abandoned factory. The air smelled of rust, gas, and mold.Her hands and legs were being tied up by a rope. She was tied onto a chair and could not move.The lighting in the factory was dim.A few burly men stood in front of her, sneering at her.Behind them, a middle-aged man was sitting arrogantly on a chair.
Theo has not been in contact with her since that morning.Joshua…Even at that moment, she was still thinking about Joshua.He would not even know about this. Also, even if he knew, he would not save her.At that thought, tears fell uncontrollably.She did not want to die. At least, not before finding a cure for Nigel. She did not want to die! However, what could she do at that moment? Liam was repaying a favor. He did not want money. What else could she use to bargain with him?There was nothing.Luna helplessly closed her eyes. Perhaps, this was fated…Bang! Just when the men were about to touch Luna with their dirty hands, a loud sound came from the outside of the abandoned factory.Liam suddenly stood up.“Everyone, stop!”The men immediately stopped what they were doing. “Boss, what is it?”“That sound… something is not right!”Liam furrowed his brows. He wanted to say something else when a black Hummer crashed into the abandoned factory.The driver was no othe
The abandoned factor was in total chaos.Luke was getting his men to tie Liam up while he turned around to look at Joshua who was carrying Luna.Joshua’s tall figure headed toward the entrance of the factory slowly.Luke furrowed his brows. “Joshua, are you just leaving like that?”Joshua stopped in his tracks. “Is there anything else?”“Say,” Luke laughed a little. He lit a cigarette in his mouth and said in a thuggish manner, “You did me a huge favor by letting me capture Liam. Aren’t you going to ask me for anything else?”“No need.” Joshua took a deep breath. He lowered his head and looked at Luna, who was shivering in his arms. “I came here just for her.”Then, he continued heading toward the exit.Seeing him leaving, Luke took a deep puff of the cigarette. He turned to look at one of his men next to him. “He said just now that she is his employee, right?”His men nodded. “Yes.”“He has a wife?”“Yes, they have been married for many years.”“Tsk.” Luke exhaled a ring o
“I was afraid that Luna might have any hidden injuries.”The doctor sighed at Alice’s words, “I truly did a thorough check. She only has these injuries, but…”The doctor touched his chin. “It’s quite strange that the cruel Liam would only hurt her this much.”Alice nodded. “Hmm, I find it strange too.”Liam had already kidnapped Luna for such a long time, how was she only injured like that? According to his usual efficiency, by the time Joshua got his men over, Luna should be dead.Alice was in a good mood at the thought of Luna’s death, that was why she deliberately dressed up and rushed over.She was expecting to see a dead body. Who would have thought…Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Joshua’s expressions relaxed a little.He calmly glanced at Luna, who was still under an IV drip. Then, he looked at the time.“It’s almost one-thirty in the morning. Alice, go back and rest first. I’ll stay here to look after her. We’ll head back to Banyan City first thing in the morning.”
Luna slept through the entire night.In her dreams, she dreamt that she was humiliated by many men. She dreamt that her dead body was disposed of in the wilderness.She dreamt that Joshua and Alice drove over her dead body and happily returned to Banyan City.She woke up from her nightmare screaming in fear.“Did you have a nightmare?”When she came to her senses, Theo’s voice rang out gently in her ears.Luna opened her eyes. She was in a foreign environment. White walls and beds and it smelled of disinfectant.She rubbed the middle of her brows and got up from the bed. “I’m at…”“The hospital,” Theo replied while pouring her some water. “You were attacked and kidnapped last night. Later on, you were rescued and sent to the hospital.”Then, he passed Luna a glass of warm water. “Do you remember anything?”Luna accepted the glass of water. She thought for a while. “A little bit.”Last night…After sending Gwen back home, she fell asleep in the taxi.Later on…She subconsc
“But I don’t think he would do that. Doing that would make you a target. If he missed, you might die in the hands of Liam.”Luna laughed self-deprecatingly, “Even if I die in the hands of Liam, he won’t care.”Theo was once again silent for a moment.“I think Joshua cares for you more than you think.”At least, when he saw Joshua and Alice bickering over who to stay back to take care of Luna, Theo saw sincere concern in Joshua’s eyes.“That’s because you don’t understand him.”Luna turned to look out of the window. Her voice sounded far away, “He never once cared if I lived or died.”Before breakfast, Theo got the doctor to do a routine check-up on Luna.Once they made sure that Luna was alright, Theo brought her to have some breakfast before sending her back to the hotel.When they reached the hotel, they bumped into Lucas.“Luna, I was just about to look for you,” Lucas smiled and said, “Mr. Lynch said the work here is done for now. He wants you to pack up. We’ll leave for
