Meanwhile, at the mental asylum located on the city outskirts...
As soon as the director, Mr. Chase, found out that the famous Joshua Lynch had arrived, he was so startled that he rushed out to greet him without even putting his clothes on properly.
"I want to see Luna,” Joshua ordered coldly as he strode through the entrance.
Mr. Chase was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweats. "Mr. Lynch...um... Ms. Luna doesn't want to see you..."
Joshua scoffed. "I don't care. I want to see her!"
Mr. Chase could not help shuddering when he saw the cold, hard look in Joshua’s eyes.
He knew there was no hiding the truth anymore, so he gritted his teeth and got down on his knees in front of Joshua with a thud. "Mr. Lynch! I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't keep a strict eye on Luna, and she...ran away..."
Luna ran away?
Joshua was so shocked by this that he immediately stood up from his chair. He grabbed hold of Mr.
Chase’s collar and snapped, his handsome features contorted in anger, "Didn't you say you would assign
more people to keep guard of her? How did she run away, then?"
This was the first time Mr. Chase had seen Joshua so livid and the first time he had ever seen this otherwise calm and elegant man look so furious. He was so terrified that he stammered, "I... I did assign more people to keep guard of her.but the problem was with the guards..."
Mr. Chase tilted his face away so as not to meet Joshua’s seething gaze. "The men dressed up as nurses to look after Luna... Then, in the middle of the night, they switched Luna out with another person while everyone was asleep... This isn't our fault, Mr. Lynch!
"They claimed that one of the nurses had suffered heatstroke, and we believed them... After they left, we went to check on Luna's ward, and there was another woman in there. She looked identical to Luna!
Because it was so late at night, we didn't check on her for fear of waking her, but then morning came...and w e discovered we had been tricked...”
Joshua narrowed his eyes fiercely.
