Meanwhile, Luna and Gwen were hidden inside the room. They tilted their heads and eavesdropped on the conversation happening outside the door.
The color drained from Luna's face as soon she heard what Joshua said.
As soon as she heard that Joshua had arrived, Luna guessed that Joshua had probably found out she was here and rushed over to talk to her.
Otherwise, he would not have arrived without giving Luke a heads-up, considering how close he and Luke were.
What he had just told Luke, however, was that the reason he came was that Luke had meddled with something that belonged to him.
Luna pressed her lips into a thin line.
It turned out that she was nothing more than an object to Joshua.
"What do you mean by this? What thing of yours did I touch?” Meanwhile, in the hallway outside the door, Luke gave Joshua an impassive glance and spoke, a cold smirk playing on his lips, "I can't seem to remember what it is.”
"Is that so?" Joshua curled his lips into a sneer and fixated his cold, penetrating gaze on the closed door
behind Luke. "Do you need me to remind you? A few nights ago, you brought your men to Banyan City and took something from me. Don't you remember?”
With that, he shifted his icy stare onto Luke. "Luke, you should know that the only reason you're the person you are today is because of me. Is this how you pay me back for helping you in the past?"
Luke narrowed his eyes upon hearing this but did not say a word. 1
He knew that since Joshua had come all the way to the hospital, he must have been 100-percent sure that Luna was here.
Yesterday, when Luke showed the X-ray to Joshua, it was actually a form of reminder. However...
Since Gwen was inside the room with Luna, eavesdropping on their conversation, he could not possibly tell Joshua the truth and hand Luna over to him.
Seeing that Luke did not reply, Joshua curled his thin lips into a smirk and said, "Since you don't know why I’m here, let me tell you what's been happening, then.
