Josh wanted to leave this world with Luna, but he dismissed this thought when he realized he couldn't face her without resolving the mystery surrounding her death.
As the night grew darker, the wind rustled through the cemetery forest.
Josh snapped out of his daze, sensing that someone was watching him. He immediately stood up.
There was a figure in the forest, but it quickly vanished into the darkness.
Josh wasn't sure if he was dreaming or hallucinating.
Nevertheless, one thing was certain—his legs were extremely sore. He stood still for a moment, gently tapped Luna's tombstone, turned around, and slowly walked away.
After he left, the figure hidden deep in the forest slowly emerged.
...
A week after Luna's death, Abigail slowly regained her composure.
The staff members at L.Moon were still unaware of Luna's passing.
Abigail had been privately searching for Martin for a long time, but to her dismay, there was no news at all.
After all, they only knew his name and nothing else. Therefore, searching for him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I can't find this guy at all. There are too many people named Martin Colleen," Simond scratched his head. Frustration was evident in his voice.
Abigail called Ronaldo once again.
Over the past week, she had been calling Ronaldo every day. Sometimes he would answer when he was in a good mood, and sometimes he wouldn't.
When he picked up the call, Abigail cut straight to the point. "Where is Martin?"
"I don't know," Ronaldo gave the same response.
"I must find him. I need to know who the father of Luna's child is," Abigail said to Ronaldo. "Luna has left me. I don't want her child to be left orphaned."
"Aren't you Larry's mother?" Ronaldo asked coldly.
"Ronaldo, I beg you. If you can help me find who Larry's father is and completely cure Larry, I will agree to any of your requests," Abigail pleaded humbly for the first time.
"Abigail, I am also saddened by what happened to Luna. But her death should serve as a warning. You and everyone else should stop investigating further. After all, you are just ordinary citizens. Many things take time—"
"But my best friend died. Someone injected something into her body against her will. That's why she died!" Abigail interrupted Ronaldo, her voice trembling. "I beg you, Ronaldo... I'm sorry for what happened to Alice. Once I have found Larry's father, I will apologize to you. You can even ask for my life in return."
No matter what, I can't leave Luna's death unresolved.
