Luna bit her lip, raised her eyes stubbornly, and looked straight at Joshua. “Why?“
Since something like this happened to Gwen, she would still worry even if she went back to Banyan
City, it was impossible for her to concentrate on work.
Joshua’s gaze remained emotionless. “Even if you want to stay here in Sea City, what can you do for
Gwen? Continue to feel guilty and blame yourself, keep reminding her of what happened, so you can
both be sad together?“
The man’s words made Luna take a step back involuntarily.
She stared at him in disbelief, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word
came forth.
Joshua frowned, his voice calm but cold. “Firstly, you can’t take back what has happened to her. The
most important thing now is to stop her from seeing the people who are related to this incident, so her
mental and physical wounds can start healing. You should know, all of these happened to her because
of you. Even if she doesn’t blame you, can you guarantee that she won’t be reminded of this incident
every time she sees you?“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna’s heart ached dully as if it was punched by a heavy object.
Joshua could not bear seeing her pale face and hurt expression.
But he frowned and continued. “Secondly, since she doesn’t remember the reason why Walter wanted
to kill her, you shouldn’t force her to remember. Even if she does remember, can you stay by her side
and protect her constantly? Forgetting is the best form of protection for her. And finally.“
The man sucked in a deep breath. “Luke Jones owes me a favor. If I ask him to protect Gwen and her
father here in Sea City, he can do it.“
With that, Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Luna, her complexion pale and sallow from her
emotional turmoil. “If you stay here, not only will you make it difficult for Gwen to forget her traumatic
memories and sadness, you’ll also make yourself feel more and more guilty, more and more ashamed.
That’s why you have to follow me back to Banyan City.“
Luna looked at him, he seemed so far away from her. His voice seemed to drift over from another
distant world.
She had to admit, his words were calm and reasonable.
But also cold and unfeeling.
He reiterated coldly the fact that she got Gwen involved, that she failed to protect her.
Her incapability, her weakness, and the harm she brought her friends.
In a split second, her well of emotions surged up in her chest.
She looked at Joshua and was about to say something but she swallowed back the words at the tip of
her tongue.
She stared at him, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, then her vision turned black.
The second she fainted, Joshua tore his arm out of Alice’s grasp and rushed forward.
She landed in his arms in a soft heap.
Beside them, Alice watched as Joshua held Luna and flattened her lips. “Joshua, put her on a chair, I
’11 ask Joshua to get the doctor.“
“No need.“
The man heaved Luna up in his hands in a bridal- style hug. “She’s just We should go back to the hotel
now.“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlice frowned. “We’re not returning to Banyan City today?“
He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. “Tomorrow.“
She did not want to leave Gwen so badly… Maybe he should give her another days’ time.
He carried her and strode toward the direction of the elevators.
Looking at his retreating back, Alice stomped her foot in anger and rushed to follow him. “Her mental
strength is so weak…“
The elevator doors opened and Joshua walked inside with Luna in his arms.
Alice hurried in too. “You didn’t say anything out of line, why is she so vulnerable…”
Joshua knitted his brows together slightly.
The Luna Gibson from six years ago would never make such sarcastic remarks about a woman who
just fainted.
But now…
He had almost gotten used to her being mean. He did not like her like this.
But he could only tolerate her and accept her for who she was now.
Because she once threw away everything she had in Sea City and married him without a single word of
complaint. She gave him two children, endured incomprehensible and unbearable pain.
