Joshua was pushed to the side roughly by Luna. He staggered, his body unbalanced, and he almost fell down. He
frowned and was about to speak when Luna curled up like a cooked prawn. She trembled, curled up in a ball on the
ground, almost every bone and blood vessel in her body was quivering. “It hurts… ” These were the only two words
she could say.
Seeing her like this, a trace of pain flashed in Joshua’s eyes. How could this happen? Yesterday when she came
here, she was fine. How come she was in this condition today?
He leaned in again, trying to pick her up again. But even if pain blurred her consciousness, she could still identify
Joshua’s smell. She was so familiar with him, the moment he approached her, she could tell that it was him without

Joshua reached out and wanted to pull her into his arms but she pushed him away. Her movements were small but
powerful. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, he wondered whether it was out of pain, but because her
actions exhausted her.
At that moment, the person in charge of the asylum rushed in. “Help her back to her ward! Prepare medication! “
Watching as the nurses lifted her up from the floor, the person in charge smiled brightly and turned to Joshua. ”Mr.
Lynch, are you okay? I saw that you were pushed by the patient… Such patients are usually very strong, you’re not
hurt, are you?”
Joshua frowned and ignored him. He stared intently at Luna who was being carried away by the nurses.
When they walked past the entrance, the little finger on Luna’s left hand accidentally bumped into the door frame.
It swayed limply in the air. Then, Luna sucked in a cold breath in pain.
Joshua’s eyebrows furrowed. Something was wrong! Something was wrong with her hand!
He immediately pushed away the person in charge standing in front of him and rushed up to her, grabbing onto her
left wrist. The moment his fingers touched her left hand, he heard her gasp in pain again.
”What is this?” Joshua grabbed the glove on her left hand and dragged it off. The scene that met his eyes was
shocking.
Luna’s originally pale and slender left hand was filled with tiny holes and pits that she dug out herself with her nails.
And her little finger was
wrapped in a layer of thick bandages. But even so, he could easily see that her little finger…did not listen to her
brain’s command and was out of control.

under them when the person in charge stopped him.
He pulled at Joshua’s arm. “Mr. Lynch, please, don’t look…”
Joshua frowned, his voice turning cold. “Mr. Chase, you promised you would take good care of her. Is this what you
mean by taking good care of her?!”
Mr. Chase hurriedly lowered Luna’s hand and ordered the nurses to return her to her ward. He sighed faintly and
said, “Mr. Lynch, yesterday Luna dug out of her own flesh right in front of you, you saw it too. A mental patient like
her will start to harm herself when she feels nervous or cornered.”
