Joshua’s expression darkened almost immediately. He stared at Luna with a complicated expression and asked, “Do
you think…I don’t deserve your trust? “
“Yes.“ Luna met his gaze fearlessly; coldness and determination were etched into her clear eyes. “I won’t trust
anyone who refuses to listen to me and instead chooses to send me into a mental asylum.“
Joshua felt as though his blood had run cold. Finally, after a long moment, he let out a bitter smile and replied,
“Alright. I’ll do as you wish.“
He tucked the sheets around her before saying, “I’ll get a doctor right now and see if they’ll discharge you… Then,
we’ll go back to Banyan City.“
Luna laid down on her bed, watching him leave, and bit down on her lip. She knew that she should be hating and
detesting him, but when she saw the disappointed look in his eyes when she said she did not trust him, as well as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe loneliness in his footsteps as he walked away…
She could not help feeling a little uncertain of her emotions.
Maybe Joshua was not as bad a person as she thought. Could he have had an explanation for doing all this?
After a moment, Luna closed her eyes and felt like laughing at herself.
Why was she still defending him and trying to put herself in his shoes?
Joshua loved Fiona to the extent that he was willing to protect and support her in everything. Was all of that fake?
He did not owe Fiona anything at all. Besides, he was the CEO of Lynch Group and owned half of the properties in
Banyan City. The name ‘Joshua Lynch’ was also on the list of the wealthiest people in the world.
He did not need a reason for wanting Fiona’s money or power.
The only reason Luna could think of to explain Joshua’s devotion toward Fiona was that he genuinely loved her.
If he really loved her, why did Luna have to find an excuse to defend his actions?
Half an hour later, Joshua and a few of the nurses from the hospital wheeled Luna out of the ward.
They had prepared a specialized car for her, a van that resembled an ambulance, equipped with all the medical
supplies and gadgets she needed.
However, the bed and medical equipment had occupied most of the car, and there were only two cramped
passenger seats.
After settling Luna in, Joshua and Lucas both sat down in the tiny passenger seats.
Gwen initially wanted to come along as well because she was worried about Luna making this long journey back to
Banyan City.
However, there were no other seats left in the van, so despite her reluctance to leave Luna, she was still dragged
away by Luke.
The driver started the engine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe seat was so cramped that Joshua did not even have the space to turn around. He glanced at the time, then at
Luna, and said, “It’s now eight at night. You can take a nap if you want. If everything goes according to plan, we’ll
reach Orchard Manor at eleven tonight. You’ll stay at Orchard Manor for tonight, and tomorrow, we’ll go to the
mental asylum to pick Janice up, convince her to explain everything about the kidnapping, then meet Dr. Robert at
8 a.m. We have plenty of time.“ Luna nodded, then closed her eyes.
She did not feel tired at all. However, she was so weak that she felt as though she would faint at any moment if she
did not get any rest.
The van traveled smoothly along the road.
Even through her sleep, Luna could still vaguely hear Lucas and Joshua’s conversation.
“Sir, it’s too cramped in here. Why don’t you ride in the car that we came in today? I’ll be here to look after her…“
Joshua’s low, melodic voice sounded in reply, “I want to keep an eye on her.“ “Sir… It’s really too cramped in here.
I’ve been working for you for so many years now, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen you in such a tight
space…”
