With that, he released Nellie and stood up. "I'm going into the mountains."
He did not know what Fiona was planning to do by taking Nigel hostage, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to counter.
Joshua turned around and glanced at Nellie with an expression of determination. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll bring Nigel back with me."
As soon as he said this, Joshua strode out of the basement.
"Joshua!" Luna's voice rang out from behind him as soon as he exited the room.
Joshua turned around.
Luna was still standing within the room. She reached out her arm toward him and said, "Pull me out of here. I’m going with you."
Joshua glanced at Luna, taking in her thin frame. A few days ago, she was so weak that she could not even walk by herself, but at this moment, she was willing to go into the mountains with him amid a thunderstorm.
Joshua remained silent for a moment but did not reach out to grab her hand. "I can go by myself."
The weather was so bad that he did not want her to risk hurting herself if there was a natural disaster.
"Why do you want to go by yourself?" Luna narrowed her eyes and fixated her frosty gaze on him. "Are you going to save Nigel or your precious Ms. Blake?”
A pained expression flashed briefly through Joshua's eyes.
He could not believe that at this moment, Luna still thought the reason he wanted to go into the mountains was to save Fiona.
Did she trust him that little? 5
He lowered his head and glanced at Luna once more.
