Joshua fell into silence upon hearing Luna's question.
Truth be told, the only connection between him and Fiona since the start was the bone marrow that had been placed in Nigel's body at this point, but he did not feel like telling the truth to Luna. 1
He did not want Luna to think he helped Nigel in any way, and he did not want her to leave Banyan City feeling indebted to him or guilt-ridden.
He would rather she left with resentment toward him because this hatred would make her stay away from him, and she would finally be able to start a new life with the children.
"No answer for that?" Luna sneered, then turned to look outside the window.
She already knew this would be the outcome.
Joshua had never been one to face his mistakes, whether it was six years ago or at this very moment.
The rain continued to pour outside the window, so heavy that the windshield was blurred, and it grew increasingly difficult for the SUV to travel on the road.
Every time the car circled past some fallen trees by the roadside, Luna could not help but feel anxious. She used to be terrified of this kind of weather...but at this moment, she could not care less, as long as she
could find Nigel and Nellie and protect them.
After three hours, the cars arrived at the district where Granny Lynch's hometown was. However, they stopped a few kilometers away from Granny Lynch's villa.
"Sir, the road in front has been blocked off. The cars can’t possibly go through, so we’ll have to walk."
Luna furrowed her brows and glanced at the direction ahead of her.
The road ahead of them was submerged with water up to calf level. In addition, there were rocks and tree branches strewn all over, so they had no choice but to continue the journey on foot.
Luna, Joshua, and the rest descended the SUVs. As soon as she got out of the car, Luna caught sight of Fiona's car parked a short distance away.
