With that, he turned and left.
Joshua glanced at Luna, who tried desperately to hold back her tears, and strode over to her side, wrapping a n arm around her shoulder. "Don’t worry. Even if we die, we'd be dying on our way to save Nigel and Nellie.”
If it were not for them, Nigel and Nellie would not even be in this situation in the first place. As parents, even i f there was not much they could do for the children, they still had to try their best.
Lucas soon got the cars ready. He had prepared a few high-spec SUVs for the journey in case they got into trouble while traveling during the storm. In addition, the SUVs were equipped with necessary supplies and tools in case of any emergencies.
Joshua immediately dragged Luna onto the car, even though he was still wearing the bloodstained clothes from Dr. Robert's accident.
He used to be someone who could not tolerate dirt and messes like this, but at that moment, the thought of changing his clothes did not even cross his mind. He was too occupied with chasing after Fiona and finding the children.
Lucas started the car.
The SUVs zipped through the city roads through the heavy downpour.
Inside the car, Joshua gripped Luna's uninjured hand tightly and said, "Don't worry. Since we’re caught in this bad weather, I'm sure Fiona is, too. It takes four to five hours from Banyan City to the countryside, so Fiona must still be on her way. We can catch up to her in time."
Luna nodded, then removed her hand from Joshua's grasp. "Thank you for your comforting words, Mr. Lynch."
Joshua’s hand remained in its original spot somewhat awkwardly, his fingers still curled in the position before Luna removed her hand.
His expression darkened upon seeing this, and he lifted his head to stare at Luna's face. "I wasn't trying t o comfort you; I was comforting myself."
Luna closed her eyes and let out a bitter smile. "Are you worried about my children too, Mr. Lynch?"
